Shio ramen. Some great things about my meal - well cooked noodles (most important), light but flavoursome broth and tender roast pork. A bit of corn and butter on the side added an element of variation which was nice. Some reviews have pointed out the visible pork fat on the surface of the broth which was also in my bowl but not uncommon in my opinion.
Food was great and reasonably priced. Service was good too. Restaurant atmosphere and eating area was nice and clean. Method of ordering on an iPad was pretty cool, simple and easy. Only thing was that the restaurant location was a bit confusing, but overall it was good đź‘Ť
It's been a while since I visited Ramen Kan and unexpectedly it was really good, they still keep their standard high. I had the Miso Ramen and their broth was flavoursome. It was a balance of umami, salty and spicy (not that spicy). Also suprisingly the Ramen was affordable, 11 dollars for a large + extra 4 dollars for Gyoza.
Overall I had a great experience, food was good and it was welcoming. Would recommend to come again!
Now, we know that Ramen Kan has some questionable Ramen options, and a lot of our Japanese friends think it may not be the best/authentic Ramen that you can get out there in Sydney. However, Ramen Kan is our absolute favourite!Â
Head here on a rainy evening for the best spicy Ramen you can possibly find! Their Pork Hot and Spicy Ramen is absolutely delicious and BOMB spicy! This is not for the faint-hearted, so choose this one wisely. We head over to Ramen Kan with friends all the time, and here's what we stick to ordering and recommend:Â
Karaage Chicken - good chunky crispy fried chicken - what's not to love?Â
Spicy Edamame Beans - a little twist on the traditional bowl of healthy goodness.Â
If pork is not your thing, Chicken broth Ramen, which is amazing too! You do get an option to make it spicy, and have your Karaage Chicken on the side instead of dunked and soggy.
Last but not the least - Cheese Karaage Ramen - from what we hear, this is one of the whackiest combinations of Ramen here, but weirdly amazingly delicious! Definitely try this - with fried chicken and cheese, you know you're piling up all the calories for the week ahead!
Stumbled upon this place and was pleasantly surprised. Wait staff was nice and helpful and my order came out extremely quick. Had the spicy ramen and gyoza and both were delicious. Will go back
This Japanese restaurant is hidden in a building at Haymarket, the environment is quiet and relaxing. You order your food on a tablet which is great for introverts :P you can see Paddy's Market/trams from the window while you enjoy your meal. The food taste great, non-oily and authentic. The menu has a range of traditional Japanese dishes, I definitely recommend the place!
Great down to earth and casual place for ramen and other Japanese meals. It's located upstairs on level one in a dingy old building in Haymarket.
I had cold noodles with a spicy pork broth. It was interesting the noodles are cold but the soup is hot. You are meant to dip the noodles in the soup before you eat it. Delicious but weird.
Wonderful ambience! Atleast I liked it my friend didn’t. Went in time for the happy hour and enjoyed tonkotsu ramen in black garlic was very good .THough they cheap out on the meat , the ramen itself is of high quality. Its not too strong but flavours were there. Sides of renkon chips and crab croquettes were very good . Affordable and highly recommended value for money place .9.8 for the ramen was well worth it.
Delicious ramen! Nice little hidden gem I’d say would recommend to anyone who loves ramen! Really like the iPad concept and lovely staff even without too much interaction
The food takes some time to prepare but trust me it’s worth the wait. Everything in this joint is goood! My family and I come here for their wagyu beef ramen and we always bring friends & family who come to Sydney to try this place. Friendly staff, all Japanese I think. Will come back for sure.
Its a Japanese buffet, and depending on which packages u chose it will exclude certain things. We went with the premium because u don't do this often.
Overall the food was good and staff was really friendly.
Our packages gave use the option for sashimi and wagyu cuts. The wagyu isn't the top of the range, which is expected since its not overly expensive.
One thing I found different here was you can order ramen as well.
You have 90 mins in total to eat and last order is 20 mins. Ull have to take into account of cooking time and time required to order and arrive at the table. In saying that we found 45 mins into the dinner we were getting pretty full and had to slow down.
Drinks are not included in the price.
The staff are warm and friendly! Came here for ramen but would love to return for the buffet in the future.
Hidden upstairs in Chinatown is an all you can eat Japanese BBQ. Monday to Thursday it costs 48.80 (not sure if this is for a limited time) otherwise costs 58.80 for the standard option. There are 2 other higher levels. We ate our fill. Service was quite fast. Good amount of different side dishes including agedashi tofu, takoyaki, kimchi, radish kimchi, beansprouts, seaweed salad. A downside is you can only pick one dessert (ice cream - vanilla/matcha/black sesame or apple jelly). Good value.
We have been twice. First time was promo menu (mon-thu) @ $39.80 and second time we took some friends along and upgraded to the premium menu $69.80. Excellent wagyu quality and we loved the sashimi too! Well worth the upgrade!
Apart from that, their gyozas and karrage were what we kept ordering!
Free beer/drink if paying w cash (premium menu)!
To be fair the promo menu was also value to money, good pork belly and beef skirt!
Arisa and another lady in glasses were always checking on us and carried wide smiles! Our toddler (who obviously ate for free) but has an allergy actually got their chef coming out to speak with us. How’s that for service?!
We love them! Small place, cosy and feels like Japan!
Can’t wait to go again <3
A JBBQ joint tucked away upstairs in chinatown (the old ramenkan). The buffet has a great selection of food on offer (including sashimi and seafood) and the staff are quick and friendly. The quality of the meat is okay and portions are small however for the variety and price you pay I think it's warranted and you can always order more. A good place to go with a group so that you can share all the dishes. Good selection of japanese drinks as well!
