I’m absolutely thrilled to have discovered an authentic Japanese ramen shop in Geelong, run by Japanese owners. The flavors are so incredible, it’s the kind of place even Japanese locals would rave about. The handmade desserts are wonderfully simple yet full of flavor, and the warm smiles and kindness from every staff member made the experience even more delightful. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
Heard about this place and finally went. This is just like eating in Japan. The food was absolutely delicious and so damn cheap for the portions! The teriyaki rice curry with grilled chicken was delicious!
Great for dinning in for a authentic Japanese ramen!The pork is super tender and the broth is flavourful with umami would highly recommend trying the Takoyaki. Great dining atmosphere, can feel a little tight with the space but the food is worth it!!
An absolute gem in the suburb of Geelong West. From great coffee to toasties & sandos, salad or rice bowls, and ramen to suit all tastes, all meals I have had are so Yummo. Friendly service, prompt meals even when busy - which is often at this popular local - takeaway available and a range of sweet treats. Spicy pork belly ramen is my new fav.
Amazing black garlic ramen! The pork was cooked perfectly and falls apart in your mouth. A cute little spot, there’s tucked away seating. Really nice vibes and friendly staff.
Cute little hidden gem in Geelong West! Service was excellent and prices are reasonable too. Seating is limited though so would recommend getting in early before it gets busy. We ordered the fish with Japanese curry on rice, pork belly tonkotsu ramen, takoyaki, pork gyoza, matcha latte and hojicha latte. Everything was delicious.
Short trip in Geelong and I am glad we wrapped it up with the visit to this cute boutique Japanese cafe. Food is exceptional, well priced and of generous serve. Coffee may need a little more work (if I have to be critical as a Melburnian) But overall, I am very satisfied with the this hidden gem tucked away in Geelong West.
Best coffee shop in the area, friendly staffs, pretty chill environment, the store is also full with Japanese culture and bunnies. Ramen was pretty amazing, flavour was rich and the side won’t let you down. Chicken karaage was pretty nice, juicy inside crunchy outside and not dried at all. Breaky and coffee was outstanding as well!! It’s a ‘MUST TRY’ when you come to/pass by/ live in Geelong.
