I highly recommend everyone to try Manpuku in Chatswood! The options for ramen are all so so good! Classic and authentic 👌🏻

Janice's favourite 2 phrases in every video: "Without further ado....." "Having said that....." 🤣🤣🤣

LMAO at the third spot when you were like "this spot is called" and then gestured to the sign, I was like ... "best ramen in sydney???" LOL

HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Hakata Gensuke at Melbourne on Russell St. It is very comparable to the world-famous Ichiran ramen, both in terms of experience and taste.

Would definitely recommend Manpuku in Chatswood!

First spot looks solid!! The second spot ramen... is that chia seeds inside?!?!?!

glasses janice!!! I want more glasses janice LOL they are cute

Thanks for the reviews, you’re great and I love your channel. I’ve only discovered ramen this year. Can kick myself for not discovering it sooner, so good! Looking forward to taste testing them all around Sydney! I can’t believe the price of some of them though, it’s only $10 at my local, which was the first one I ever tried, and where I fell in love!

I personally love a good Tonkatsu Ramen 🍜 - My fav to be exact. Gumshara has a great one, but personally I prefer the Hakata style broth as it isn’t as dense and rich in flavour. I would recommend both Manpuku @ Kingsford and Ichi-ban Boshi on Oxford St Bondi Junction.

Belated comment..just found your channel - fave ramen is ichiban boshi...but do agree on RaRa Ramen...went there in the middle of the Sydney winter and it was so worth it for a winter pick me up!

LOL YAY ramen video!!! Good thing you have your brother to help you eat... I know what it's like to eat 3 bowls of ramen in one day with no help... 😂😂😂

Chaco Bar has my favourite ramen I think. The coriander sizchuan ramen is amazing. Also at RaRa, they do Mazemen which is a dry ramen. It's SOO tasty

menya noodle on market street is the best ramen ive had in Sydney.

Great vlog. I agree, Gumshara broth is way too thick. I find that the thick broth generally tend to appeal more to the Chinese people (Yasaka included). Ichibandori is personally best for me, but unfortunately Tomo-san had to close. You should do a follow up vlog on Ippudo (Pitt St Westfield), Ramen Zundo, Sekka and possibly Kameya.

Glad that you recommend Gumshara 🥳

I had the pleasure many years ago of eating at Ryo‘s when my daughter was studying in Australia. I have to say, it was the best Ramen I have ever eaten.

A hearthy bowl of ramen, chewy noodles, rich broth, soft spice of fatty pork that melts in your mouth, girl, I'm salivating hahaha!!

Nice review. Sydney has the best ramen restaurants! Janice you missed out a few. My personal favourite is the Black Ramen at Gogyo, Surry Hills. You have to try this. What about Ramen Zundo? :D. I just realised this was done last year! LOL. Maybe time for an update?

This is so awesome, omg I love ramen and this video is so great especially when I go to Sydney, I’m thinking of going at the end of the year even for a weekend. Thanks girl

This was a great selection of the 5 places, all the broth look different in color and consistency.. really enjoy this video

Agreed, a lot of people still prefer thick broth of ramen. Great review Janice 👍🏻 Is there any good tsukemen in Sydney? On rainy and cold days, we like to eat soup based ramen :) However in hot summer days, we like a tsukemen 👌🏻🤤

Gumshara is the go to place, especially in winter for the thick broth ramen, Menya also in Chinatown is also good.

love rainy days... and the best is to have a nice soup and a hot chocolate while looking out through a window :)

Can you get vegetarian ramen?🤔

Try Ramen Zundo Sapporo in Chatswood or Manpuku in Chatswood or Kingsford/Kensington

Omg congratulations on 8K!!! 😍😍😍

RaRa Ramen is 100% my favourite Ramen in all of Sydney!!

I'm a Sydney gal. Giiiiirl love your passion for sharing what you enjoy doing in video. I love watching them! Defs going to check out these ramen restaurants soooo yum

Chaco Bar at Darlinghurst. They do ramen at Mon, Sat, Sun for the whole day and lunchtime on other days. The Yuzu Scallop is brilliant!

Gumshara in Chinatown is my favourite. The thickest broth I've ever tried and tender pork. My favourite in Sydney. I didn't like Ryo's because the pork was tough when I went. Yasaka and Manpuku in Chatswood would be my next favourites.

As a local I was eager to see this! I love Ramen.

What’s the little black dots in the broth at Ichibandori ramen? 🤔 Looks delicious and yes definitely less thicker than the first one, would’ve chosen this over the thicker soup 👍🏻

I get the soggy seaweed and eat with some noodles. Highly recommend.

The second place looked the best but I like a nice cloudy bone broth like at the 4th place. Thanks for the ramen tour Janice!!!

Thing about Ramen is everyone have different preference... and dependent on your preference of soup base, different places are different. Ryo and Rara both decent, but I've also had many others in Sydney which are very good (especially not having them back to back and comparing)... Eg. Rising Sun Workshop, Manpuku in chatswood, Butter in Surry Hills, Ramen Ichiraku (think they're closed now)

First bowl sounds like our style - really like the rich flavorful broth and sounds like the noodles are done well

You should check out Gogyo in Surry Hills if u haven't! their char ramen is SO GOOD! one of my fav places in Sydney no doubt!

Congrats on 8K!!! Been subbed to you for 2 months now and I'm obsessed with your vids hehe

I could see yourself holding back from saying, "It's so good!" I got, "it's so... hearty/amazing/delicious!" 😂

Helmi doesn’t really like gumshara because its thick haha - but yes you can adjust - helmi and i prefer ryo and rara :)

for the yasaka u should've gone to the one in city, it taste a lot better than neutral bay and bondi junction, even the noodle looks and taste different, u can see someone is making ramen in front of window everyday, and also try charco bar and Gaku Robata Grill u wont regret

Awhhhhhh I'm super excited!! 5 ramen all in one episode. I love love love ramen!! 😍😍😍

@5:40 you gulped down the second ramen bowl and says "you really enjoyed it" You make me hungry now 😭😭

I moved from Sydney already and I only tried yasaka and ippudo. Love the ramen there that's why I keep on coming back. Will definitely check the other ramens that you feature when I get back to Sydney.

I’m always excited for Tuesday’s and Fridays to watch your videos! Keep up the great work! Also come visit Vancouver, Canada

Crescent ramen should be in the MK2 video for sure! Gumshara is my go-to but crescent is really shaking up things.

Tonkotsu broth is the way to go. Our favorite! Simple is best when it comes to ramen. We like going before the rush too. The quality is always better.

It's nice seeing you grow so fast on KZfaq! Keep it up ✌🏽

gumshara is a second home to me i never know how the foodcourt can feel so warm when im in there beautiful food and the staff are so nice while being fast and funny

Should’ve gone to the original Ryo’s in Crows Nest! (My hood lol). My personal faves are Ramen Zundo (World Square) and Mapuku (Chatswood)! Thanks for another nice vid, Janice! You’re really doing a good job repping our beautiful city 💪

how do you like your ramen? soft? medium? chewy? instant? also... what restaurants have i missed? Let me know please

"that is why I would never be a good food critic" hahaha you are hilarious! what is important is whether you like it or not and how you tell us your story... it is genuine 😉

👏🏽I applaud the fact that you use your chopsticks properly 😂 🙆🏽‍♀️ Time to check these places out the next time I’m in Syd!

Gumshara, Ryo’s, RaRa and Manpuku are my favorites:) Yasaka was ok, Gogyo also not bad(burnt miso is good), Ippudo is alright.

Good tip of recording your commentary outside. The chewier the noodles, the better! Agree there. That's a lot of pork bone... We'll take it. Haha Great tour!

Found countless Ramen Restaurants at Regents Place, Town Hall....

The tonkotsu shoyu ramen at Yasaka is known as Tokushima ramen in Japan because it's a speciality of Tokushima. It's delicious.

I would've swapped RaRa for Zundo.

The color of the broth from Rara ramen was amazing. It's the type that when cooled down, will just become solid fat lol

I love Ramen! I was so close when you asked to guess your next video on insta! I thought it was going to be "best japanese restaurents in Sydney"

Looks like you have a lot of high quality ramen joints in Sydney. Good thing you had your bro to help you on this episode cause that is a lot of food hahahaha. Good on you for splitting things up over a couple of days cause we did 4 ramens in 5 hours and that was tough hahahahaha. Tonkotsu and Soy is always good but ya know that Rara Tonkotsu looked the best especially since the noodles have a lotta chew & the massive bbq pork:)

This feels like a lot longer ago than it was with the pandemic (sigh). Funny, I didn't know about the Yasaka in Neutral Bay (have eaten at the Liverpool St shop @Town Hall); have not tried the other Ramen place in Neutral Bay. Have eaten at Ryo's and lined up but at Crows Nest, not Bondi Jctn. Have tried Rara. Have tried Gumshara. Agree with what you've said in general, yes, and the pork between Rara and Ryo's, Ryo's really does do it well. Re: Gumshara, some swear by it, others can't deal with the heaviest broth in Sydney. I've decided to eat it the way I consume an espresso - it it's thick, then I'll make sure I've got a bottle of water or something to help my kidneys live. They boil the bone marrow for hours, 2 lots a day, and when it's too dry they won't have it available anymore. Not a great atmosphere but who cares once you've got that bowl in front of you. Wind is an issue outside, I realise. On a blustery day even better for ramen. For me, Ryo's remains the best one. The good thing is there are many more to try. GoGyo in Surry Hills, Rising Sun in Newtown (if you can get there for breakfast!), Ippudo, etc.

I really enjoy your videos! Just as feedback, you said a few times "Tonkatsu" ramen, when it should be Tonkotsu. Tonkatsu is actally a completly different Japanese dish. Also for Ryo Noodles,. Its a bit hard to pronounce the Japanese, but rather than Ri-Yo, its more a roll of the tounge when saying r-yo. Sorry to be that guy >< but keep up the good work, and I look forward in trying these places when I move back to Sydney from Japan ^^

so nice of your brother to help out lol

Ramen!!🍜🍜 since when did ramen get so expensive. Here in NYC too. I still think u can get good ramen for 900 yen. About $9 in tokyo. That pork in your 1st bowl look amazing!!

I knew it!!!!! Yasaka!!!! One of the best I've tried in SYD, Manpuku in Kingsford used to be the best on my list but not anymore since like 2 years ago

I agree I think the broth is the #1 most important thing on a bowl of ramen, but Lieles would argue and say the noodles are the #1 priority lol

Hi Janice! So nice to see your video's! It's very funny because I stay at Redfern Iglu these months, next to RaRa Ramen! I love the place so much and it's literally less than a minute away from my room. Wish you the best! X Linde (from Singapore Cube hostel)

Was in Sydney last year wish I knew of these places. Gig and I also just went to a ramen festival in NYC and posted a vlog from it. Got to try 3 ramens but couldn't wait on the lines for all of them

Oh god. I'm so hungry now lol The filming on this episode is insane!! HD ramen goodness :D

Loving your channel. Let me know if you ever want to do a sicilian food tour(or some tips) of Haberfield/Five Dock from a Sicilian boy(aka me!)

Your ramen video made me crave for some. 😢 Keep up the nice work. 👍

Gumshara was my go-to ramen. I LOVE the thickness of that broth!

Hi Ms last but definitely not least

Did you get a thesaurus!? it would have been really funny if you just ate the ramen and said "wow, its really good" for all 5 places and then just ended the video like that. That's the quality content I subscribed for :) btw congrats on 8k

I hope there is more like those authentic ramen shops in Byronbay🇦🇺

Such great ramen weather!

Janice, you didn’t say which one you liked best. By the look, I think it is the first one.

3:48 You walked past Noodle Star!!! Ok it’s not ramen, but it’s the best Chinese lunch place in neutral bay, I’m so lucky I work there, 2 of your ramen shops are in neutral bay, and you can walk to ryo ‘s in 10 mins.

"You still have no cash? I'll pay you back " 😂😂😂

I love Gumshara, the broth is like gravy xx.

Three to add would be Hakata Maru Ramen. New store in darling square and manpuku in Kingsford and wok and noodle in Kings Cross . Haven't been to gogyo yet.

Gumshara and Ippudo is my go to Sydney Ramen!

Nice that Gumshara can tweak the thickness of the broth for you. And 250kg of pork bones every day?? Wow!

Yum inspiration for my trip in December 💕

the egg was beautiful! Agree!

You missed Mampuku !! In Kingsford & Chatswood

Try Ippudo Raman

Nice catch there at the end! 😱

How could you skip Manpuku in Chatswood if you are talking the best 5 ramen restaurant.

Try the Ichiran Ramen if you have chance to come Singapore or to Japan.

You read my mind Janice. I was about to suggest to you to review ramen joints 😂

U look good 😌 with the eyeglass on .. 👉🏻👈🏻🥰

I’ve never really been a fan of ramen but still give it a try every now and then. But I’ve tried so many ramen places this year and personally for me, gumshara has too strong of a pork flavour and too salty for me but I like their noodles 😁. Yasaka on Liverpool st has become my fav go to place as it’s much more clean tasting than gumshara. Rara ramen has been on my list for a while now so I think it’s definitely time to visit hehe 😍

Gumshaka is hands down the best

Wow look at all those sesame seeds in the third bowl!

"just over undercooked" LOL what does this mean??? like it was just a little bit more cooked than "undercooked"??? LOLL

I personally havent tried the ramen at Butter (parramatta) but I've heard good things about there. Give it a go 👍👍

GUMSHARAAAAA just got some today. SUPPORT THEM!

5 is the best
