I highly recommend everyone to try Manpuku in Chatswood! The options for ramen are all so so good! Classic and authentic 👌🏻
Ahh awesome rec, thanks Aimee!
I can double the suggestion for Manpuku!
Janice's favourite 2 phrases in every video:
"Without further ado....."
"Having said that....."
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahahaha 😳
It’s like my go-to transition sentence😶
Your forgot “it’s good.... really good!”
"It's so good!"
Also talking with "pray hands" 😂
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
It's nice seeing you grow so fast on UA-cam! Keep it up ✌🏽
Congrats on 8K!!! Been subbed to you for 2 months now and I'm obsessed with your vids hehe
Thank you so much Stephanie! I appreciate it so much 💛
Omg congratulations on 8K!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Awhhhhhh I'm super excited!! 5 ramen all in one episode. I love love love ramen!! 😍😍😍
Hehe thanks for watching guys ☺️
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!
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
No probs! Yea you totally should though with hot weather it might be a bit heavy.. but hey still delicious!
I’m always excited for Tuesday’s and Fridays to watch your videos! Keep up the great work! Also come visit Vancouver, Canada
Haha thanks Vincent I appreciate it so much! I’d love to go to Canada again!!
glasses janice!!! I want more glasses janice LOL they are cute
Hahahahah 🤓 my eyesights getting worse 😪
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!!!
First bowl sounds like our style - really like the rich flavorful broth and sounds like the noodles are done well
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... 😂😂😂
im very impressed you were able to do that by yourself in one day
This was a great selection of the 5 places, all the broth look different in color and consistency.. really enjoy this video
Yeah!! The darker it is the thicker and more intense. I actually like the lighter versions
Glad that you recommend Gumshara 🥳
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 👌🏻🤤
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
Hey thanks so much for watching them Beatrice! I appreciate it so much ☺️
Enjoy them ramen! 🍜
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.
Noted, thanks!
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 💪
Thank you so much Jun! I love mapuku too! If I ever do a part 2, it’ll be in it
First spot looks solid!! The second spot ramen... is that chia seeds inside?!?!?!
lol its sesame!
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.
the egg was beautiful!
Agree!
Would definitely recommend Manpuku in Chatswood!
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!
Yum inspiration for my trip in December 💕
Yay! I’m excited for ya!!
love rainy days... and the best is to have a nice soup and a hot chocolate while looking out through a window :)
Oh I love that! Hot drink and all warm and cosied while outside is pouring is the best
Oh god. I'm so hungry now lol The filming on this episode is insane!! HD ramen goodness :D
Go get ramen for dinner!! Thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏
Gumshara is the go to place, especially in winter for the thick broth ramen, Menya also in Chinatown is also good.
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 👍🏻
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
I see that (dry ramen) on the menu all the time but never actually gave it a go - I’ll have to next time I go to rara
Such great ramen weather!
It is hey! Cold rainy weather + ramen = perfect
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!
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
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?
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.
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"
Haha technically you’re still right 😉
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!
The color of the broth from Rara ramen was amazing. It's the type that when cooled down, will just become solid fat lol
Yeah it was very creamy and salty and fatty lol
Gumshara was my go-to ramen. I LOVE the thickness of that broth!
I found it just a tad too thick. But flavours were very rich and intense 👌🏻
Nice catch there at the end! 😱
Thank you... if I didn’t I’d probably be 💔
You can judge a good ramen by the soft egg too. I see a very nice one at that second place. Did you add sesame seeds to that 3rd bowl?
Nope the sesame came with it!
Crescent ramen should be in the MK2 video for sure! Gumshara is my go-to but crescent is really shaking up things.
Gumshara, Ryo’s, RaRa and Manpuku are my favorites:) Yasaka was ok, Gogyo also not bad(burnt miso is good), Ippudo is alright.
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.
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!)
A hearthy bowl of ramen, chewy noodles, rich broth, soft spice of fatty pork that melts in your mouth, girl, I'm salivating hahaha!!
Guys it really was soooooo good! Even more perfect in cold weather haha
As a local I was eager to see this! I love Ramen.
Did I include any of your fav spots?
Janice Fung actually new spots that I’m eager to try! Haha.
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:)
Yeah I ate it over 3 days... couldn’t do it alone lol
How did you guys eat 4 bowls in 5 hours?!
You read my mind Janice. I was about to suggest to you to review ramen joints 😂
haha were there any i missed??
so nice of your brother to help out lol
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.
Nice I really gotta go manpuku again, so many people have that as their fav here
menya noodle on market street is the best ramen ive had in Sydney.
was the pork broth from the 3rd place greasy at all? I usually tend to order chicken broth because I havent found the perfect pork broth
Nope it wasn’t too greasy I think it was one of my fav broths!
Helmi doesn’t really like gumshara because its thick haha - but yes you can adjust - helmi and i prefer ryo and rara :)
Ryo is probably my fav 😋
The tonkotsu shoyu ramen at Yasaka is known as Tokushima ramen in Japan because it's a speciality of Tokushima. It's delicious.
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
It’s good hey! What’s your top 3
Your ramen video made me crave for some. 😢
Keep up the nice work. 👍
Ramen for dindin tonight?
@@JaniceFung Sadly, no ramen. I had eaten dinner before watching your video. Moreover, we're having an indian summer here in Northern California. About 90F/32C during the day, not exactly ramen weather just yet.
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)
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.
Yeah I agree! And i don’t have to wait in line haha
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)
Omg hey Linde! I hope you’re enjoying Sydney and your exchange ☺️ I’m jealous you’re so close to RaRa Ramen actually haha
How much longer are you in Sydney before you leave ?
@@JaniceFung Yess, Sydney is so amazing! I am here till 5 december!
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!
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
Love your videos
I love Gumshara, the broth is like gravy xx.
Haha yeah same consistency
I could see yourself holding back from saying, "It's so good!" I got, "it's so... hearty/amazing/delicious!" 😂
Hahahahahha! 😅😅 that’s exactly what I did 🤣
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.
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 hope there is more like those authentic ramen shops in Byronbay🇦🇺
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!!
"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 😉
Aww thanks guys ☺️♥️
@5:40 you gulped down the second ramen bowl and says "you really enjoyed it" You make me hungry now 😭😭
that was a really good bowl lol
Try Ramen Zundo Sapporo in Chatswood or Manpuku in Chatswood or Kingsford/Kensington
👏🏽I applaud the fact that you use your chopsticks properly 😂 🙆🏽♀️ Time to check these places out the next time I’m in Syd!
Hahahaha thank you! I still don’t hold it well enough to my parents standards but oh well
GUMSHARAAAAA just got some today. SUPPORT THEM!
Gumshara and Ippudo is my go to Sydney Ramen!
Ahh yeah whenever I’m in Sydney Westfield and I can’t decide what to eat I always go to ippudo
I get the soggy seaweed and eat with some noodles. Highly recommend.
That's definitively the best weather for ramen. It's raining here too... I might just do that for dinner. :-)
What did you end up getting?
@@JaniceFung We actually ended up getting Pho! Hahaha :-)
The ramen places you went too looks super yummy. Will definitely have a visit to those place and try it out. Just wondering what do you think of the ramen place in Kingsford/Chatswood called Manpuku? and Ippudo at Central Park? Menya on Sussex? Hope you can make another second part of the video..hehehe~~ ^^ Lastly Keep up the great videos :) love the videos your doing.
Thanks so much Eric, I think I’ll have to make a part 2! ☺️
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 😍
ive actually never been to Yasaka on Liverpool - have to make a visit
and yes! - i really liked the noodles in RaRa Ramen - broth was nice too!
Janice Fung Janice Fung i didn’t know there was one in Neutral Bay :) But the one on Liverpool St has an open kitchen if you’re lucky enough to sit at the bar stools. Usually only for 2 people. Bigger groups will be seated on normal tables 🤗 So do check them out 😋
Yas! I’m glad to hear it’s worth the visit ☺️
RaRa Ramen is 100% my favourite Ramen in all of Sydney!!
RaRa, Chaco and Gumshara are my top picks in Sydney. I heard Goku ramen is also good but I have yet to try
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
thank you so much! lol trust me i said that and have clips of it i just cut it all out :P
It ’s a very delicious ramen. I also want to eat this kind of ramen once a day.✨✨🍜
Have you tried Gogyo in Surry Hills, it's my fav ramen in Sydney
it really is the best. And their edamame too 😍
Yeah I really liked it too!
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 ^^
Hey all good! Thanks for telling me, I really appreciate it Ari ☺️
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.
Haha yeah The broth is crazyyy thick at gumshara.
Janice Fung Theres a new one called Sekka in St Leonard’s pretty good too!
love this vid! please do a $ $$ $$$ steak in sydney 😊😊😊
I’ll see what I can do! 👌🏻
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
btw the way u like the noodle is exactly the way i like too,personal taste, and also cos noodle is soaking in the hot broth, if its hard enough to start with when u finish the last bite it wont get overcooked
can you do a review of egyptian restaurants or food in sydney? thanks :)
Do you have any recs you can start me off on? 😊
I personally havent tried the ramen at Butter (parramatta) but I've heard good things about there. Give it a go 👍👍
Oooo yes! I have heard good things actually - I will do 👌🏻
Ohhhh ramen that my favourite soup 😍😍
Perfect winter food hey
Here as well!!
Try the Ichiran Ramen if you have chance to come Singapore or to Japan.
ahh yes, definitely will do!
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.
Ahh i love manpuku! Never been to Hakata mary ramen but will add it on my list to try !
@@JaniceFung I'm not a fan of gumshara either. Went once and won't be going back. Ichiban boshi looks good. I went to 10 Ramen joints when Japan Airlines was having a contest for free flight to Japan.
how do you like your ramen? soft? medium? chewy? instant?
also... what restaurants have i missed? Let me know please
CHEWY ALL DAY
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Please check out Ippudo. My favourite ramen place ❤️
Chaco bar is my fav ramen stall!
Congrats on 8k subscribers! I'd recommend checking out Hakata Maru Ramen (there's a branch in Chatswood and Darling Square), Rising Sun Workshop (Newtown) and Gogyo (Surry Hills).
I love your video〜😁
Thanks for watching ☺️
Can you get vegetarian ramen?🤔
Hi Ms last but definitely not least
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
Oooooo that’s a hard one.... I guess they’re both important!
I love thick rich broth, I might enjoy the ramen in Gumshara. Wow 250KG of pork bone everyday!
I know... 250kg is intense! I think you’ll enjoy it too if you like thick broths!!
You should try the shio flavour at yasaka, it’s better than shoyu!
I’ll do that next time ☺️
