I am so glad I found this hidden gem! I’m from the SF Bay Area and had no expectations coming in for this ramen, because I’m usually disappointed in other countries (not including Japan since I haven’t been). Let me tell you how at home I felt with this delicious bowl of ramen. It brought me such comfort and satisfaction. The broth was packed with so much flavor and the pork was cooked to perfection. I will definitely come back here the next time I visit Adelaide.

I ate there on December 9th, 2025 at around 8 PM. The ramen was delicious, but the customer service was poor. The staff member seemed lazy and unfriendly. When we asked something, they looked reluctant to respond. I also noticed that when they served other customers, they were just as unfriendly. It’s a shame because the food is good, but the customer service is bad.

It is incredibly hard to find an authentic tasting ramen here in Adelaide so sometimes you just have to settle with “decent”, this restaurant is one of them. They serve good savoury ramen, non of the corn and fish cake bs. Great cut of chashu pork. Not thin not thick. Perfect ajitama. Just the texture of the soup threw me off a little bit because it was too thick and borderline heavy cream. Otherwise the better option compared to a lot of so-called “ramen” spots in the area

Really nice cosy place to have lunch. Food is clean, tasty, and well presented. We had the beef teriyaki and pork raman. Both were really great and highly recommended. Spring rolls a little tasteless but edible. We've had takeaway from here previously, which was also good. Atmosphere good, clean and presentable. We were pleasantly satisfied without the over filling feeling. It's definitely worth a try.
