Probably the best ramen I've had in my life! The broth and the ramen are a match made in heaven and I will definitely come again. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is very classic for a Japanese ramen house. Everything is perfect, great place to visit while you're here!

I had the tonkotsu ramen and it was really delicious. The broth was great and the meat was very tender. The noodles were also perfect. The atmosphere is calm with warm lights and great furniture. However, it is near some shops that are a bit noisy, but it doesn't really affect the experience. Overall, I absolutely recommend this ramen restaurant if you are craving something great.

I came when they first open It was really bad... Now I think they improved a lot after trying many options through different weeks However the service is inconsistent. Sometimes I do have a tray and it is easier to come back to the return station, sometimes I don't. I always order 1ramen and one side. Tonkotsu is getting better. Every time I am coming the Gym-like music of the juice bar nearby is way too loud and kill the ambience of Ramen Street. The Japanese girl at counter is the smiliest person and it is good sometimes to have good service Keep the good work on see you guys soon

For anyone looking for this place, 2nd floor of Cairns central shopping centre next to Woolies. Going from past reviews and picture it’s obvious that there has been a change for the best. I got the tonkatsu ramen and it was great, or though the broth didn’t make my lips stick at all, it was very flavourful with a slight pepper taste, loved it. The noodles were great, and the marinated egg was cooked perfectly, over all it filled that ramen urge and was not disappointed at all.
