Without a doubt the best Japanese Soup in town, probably the best I've ever had. This is the place we go to every week to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves. It brings everything back in sync. It sounds corny, but its true. Perfect, very welcoming service, fantastic soup and a wide variety of it, perfect gyoza, free iced tea... More

In Cairns again after 3 years and went right back to here for the ramen. Still great ramen. The "house special" (chicken+seafood) broth and pork broth we had were very tasty. $1.5 for extra serving of noodles is good value, so don't drink all the soup if you want to get extra noodles. The small Z-Don we ordered was pretty... More

Amazing ramen...careful thought has gone into those broths. I loved the happy friendly atmospere of the place created by the staff. I also love that the dishes retain their japanese names and are accompanied with lengthy english explanations - it ads to the friendly atmosphere.

Fabulous and fresh gyozas made to order, and fantastic soups to match that can be ordered in set combos. Great flavours and traditional japenese flavours. Loved it and we go regularly and has always been a great experience, even quick if you are looking for a quick and tasty bite.

Went here based on TA reviews. Bustling place at lunch on a Thursday. Short wait to be seated. Ended up at the bar table. Menu is extensive, all based on ramen noodles. Menu in both Japanese and English. Staff very welcoming (all Japanese) and cheerful. Ordered ikamen ramen lunch special with gyoza side. Also ordered two teaspoons of chili paste... More

I found this place by chance when walking back to YHA along Spence St. I didn't even realize that it got so many rave reviews in TripAdvisor.

Needing a place for dinner and the reviews were good but this has tricked is before. However we just experienced a fantastic meal. Will be back! It's cash only so take money

Awesome traditional ramen having been to Japanese can say this. Staff very friendly and atmosphere good. Most importantly food was delicious you can get ramen lunch set for $12 which includes rice and home made Gyoza which were nice!!

The experience is always the same, brilliant. I love the way it feels like home. I've hosted business lunches here, caught up with friends, formed brilliant ideas. It's just fantastic. I recommend this place to all my friends.
