Ajisen Ramen & The Century Bar - and ten years of blogging

In 2010 we wondered if writing a food blog would be a good idea. Flash forward ten years later.

Kaedama Ramen Bar ~ Japanese - Market City Food Court

One of the last stalls to open in the new Market City Level 1 Food Court is Kaedama Ramen Bar, complete with Japanese style wrap around eat in counter.

Ramen O-San Bar ~ Japanese - Sussex Centre Food Court, Chinatown

We have a fine excuse to give the wonderful Ramen O-San Bar another plug after moving to Chinatown's most glorious Sussex Centre Food Court.

Ramen Bar Goku ~ Japanese - Glebe

David Chang may have given up on ramen but we haven't. Ramen Bar Goku in Glebe keeps the faith alive.

Ky-oto ~ Japanese - Spice Alley, Broadway

One of the latest additions to the Spice Alley row, Ky-oto is ladling out bowls of ramen and flipping Japanese okonomiyaki pancakes.

Ryo's Noodles ~ Japanese - Bondi Junction

Ryo's opens up in Bondi Junction, transporting their magical style of ramen and tonkatsu sandwiches with them.

Bondi Ramen ~ Japanese - Bondi Junction

We stumble upon Bondi Ramen which unsurprisingly is in Bondi Junction. Not too shabby.

Yasaka Ramen - Japanese - Sydney City / CBD

Five years ago we went out for a beer and a meal in Chinatown, we took some photos and started a blog to write about it.

Ramen O-San Bar ~ Japanese Ramen - Dixon House Food Court

Yay, a new ramen joint in Sydney Chinatown's Dixon House Food Court, Ramen O-San Bar.

What We Learnt About Ramen in Sapporo & Tokyo

We constantly bleat about how we've been eating ramen for years yet know nothing about the stuff. So we spent a bit of time on our recent Japan trip trying to reset our tastebuds and expand our knowledge. All we learnt was our heads are up our arses.

Ramen Sun Sun ~ Japanese - Crow's Nest

We make a couple of visits to a joint we haven't been to in since the last century. Is it as good as we remember?

Hakata Maru Ramen ~ Japanese - Market City Chinatown

Market City joins the list of food courts with a new ramen joint, Hakata-Maru, expanding the list of different styles of ramen available in Chinatown.

Ramen Ikkyu ~ Japanese - Sussex Centre Food Court, Chinatown

Ramen Ikkyu. It's good.

Manpuku ~ Japanese Ramen - Kingsford

Miss Chicken gives Manpuku the wings-up.

Ippudo ~ Japanese - Sydney CBD

After the hype has died down we finally make it to Ippudo. It's nice.

Ramen Zundo ~ Japanese - World Square, City

Ramen Zundo in World Square is our new favourite ramen joint in the city,  recommended to all ramen fiends.

Jap's Table ~ Japanese - Darlington

Simple Japanese street food dishes in a simple setting. Yakitori Alley arrives in Redfern, all it needs is a few drunken salary men.

Ramen Kan ~ Japanese - Chinatown

We wonder if half the fun of Ramen Kan in Chinatown is getting there. Heading up to the first floor through a dodgy entry and a battered old lift feels subversive, it's so secret Sydney. 

Tokyo Ramen ~ Japanese - Hornsby Westfield

Tokyo Ramen is in the deepest, brightest depths of Horsnby Westfield shopping centre. Work and a small hangover brings us here on a Saturday morning.

Ramen Bootcamp at Ichi-Ban Boshi ~ The Galleries, City

After three trips to Japan and countless ramens around Sydney, we've come to the conclusion that the more ramen we eat, the less we understand it.  We realise we barely know our shio from our shoyu, so we take a week of ramen re-education camp at Ichi-Ban Boshi, at The Galleries in the city.
