Customer Reviews
I love ramen and this is the best ramen I’ve had in Brisbane. I had the red tonkotsu, and my friend the shio. I like my noodles harder so this was perfect. I don’t normally drink broth but I drank heaps from my bowl, there was no MSG and it didn’t leave me thirsty! The red tonkotsu isn’t spicy at all, so if you want a spicy one go for fire. Beyond the food quality, their customer service is fantastic. I visited at 540pm on a Tuesday, was greeted by everyone who saw me always with a smile. When I mentioned in passing that I was celebrating my friend’s birthday, the waitstaff immediately offered her ice cream on the house 😍 she was delighted! I got to try some too 😇 I’ve had really bad matcha ice cream, and generally not a fan of matcha but this one was perfect in texture and taste. I also liked the black sesame, we could taste the ground seeds in it. I’m going back again for sure. Well done team 🙌🏼 UPDATE - I came back a second time to celebrate another friend’s birthday and this time, they added extra ingredients to her bowl of ramen! I tried the fire tonkotsu ramen and it hits the spot perfectly. I can’t take too much spice but this one is fine for me!
Food was very tasty! I ordered the shio(?) ramen and it was such a deep and rich but not overwhelming flavour. The bamboo shoots were a tad cold on the top and the seaweed was a bit chewy, but nonetheless it is still 100% worth coming here. Staff were wonderful and kind, seemed like they genuinely enjoy working at this store which always helps. Atmosphere is stunning, nice and simple with comfortable mood lighting. There's also a toppings/sauces bar at the entrance of the store for whatever you order including chilli oil, ramen seasonings and more. Overall 4/5, food could be a bit less salty and a bit cheaper.
We live round the corner and are blessed to have had Taro close by for a number of years. The location has changed by a few 100 metres but the quality remains high. We love a fix of Tonkotsu Ramen every now and again. The broth is full of flavour and I adore the soft boiled egg (always order extra). A great and consistent ‘go to’ in Brisbane city.
Soooo good! Did a google search for “best ramen in Brisbane” and this place was the top hit. It did not disappoint. If you’re a big eater, the servings are on the smaller size so order some gyoza to go with it, equally as good! Service was really good too.
