✨ HighlightAbsolute BEST meal on my 2-week trip to Australia!!! We came on a week night and all tables were full and vibes were incredible. The eggplant was absolutely insane. As were the slushy drinks!! Pro-tip: ask for the vegetarian menu. They had a few items on there that aren’t on the regular menu like asparagus hand rolls which were delicious. As a gluten free vegetarian, I was wowed by the food options. My meat and fish eating boyfriend also absolutely loved this. Impeccable service from our waitress. We will be recommending this place to anyone coming to Brisbane!!!→

✨ HighlightI 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!→
