Greyson N.

Although can be tricky to find if finding for the first time (tucked away further in from the major street and in a nicely lit alley) the establishment was overall wonderful. Pay and order before sitting down, it is more like a quick meal. There are big tables and counters so if it is busy you may have to share your eating area or sit next to a stranger. The ramen noodles had a great taste, the broth was very flavorful (a tad bit salty) and the toppings were all great (nice ramen eggs as well) The curry had a lot of flavor and the chicken had a nice soft interior with a crisp light panko exterior. Overall wonderful and I would definitely return.

Coming from San Francisco, I was excited to see a location in Sydney with lots of Yelp reviews since the community doesn't seem to be as active here. Came in with high hopes for the place, and that was Menya's undoing. For the location, I think this is a fine place to have a quick lunch. I ordered the karaage ramen with shoyu broth. The broth was fine, if a bit thin. The chicken was a tad saltier than I like. I would have given them 4-stars based off of that. This places comes down to 3-stars for me because the noodles were very disappointing for the price. Perhaps I've been spoiled with the ramen options back in San Francisco, but the noodles here reminded me of the noodles I used to eat in my university days. Were the price point 3-4$ cheaper I think I would have been satisfied with a 4-star rating, but this was just a case of expectations not matching reality.

Being the ramen addicts that we are, the boyfriend and I asked our Sydney-local friend where the best ramen in town is, and Menya is the name that he gave us, so we went off to investigate whether or not his claim was true. Menya is a bit hidden and difficult to find, but when you get to the general area of where it's supposed to be, you'll see signs pointing you in the right direction. The atmosphere of the place is extremely casual; you place your order at the front and then seat yourself at one of the communal tables, the bar, or in the outdoor seating area. I ordered the Menya Ramen with tonkotsu, which was recommended to us by the cashier, and tonkotsu is my go-to broth for ramen. The piping hot bowls came out quickly, and before long, we were all digging in. The Menya Ramen has a little bit of everything -- chashu, a soft-boiled egg, fishcake, and seaweed sit on top of a pile of perfectly-cooked ramen noodles. The broth itself isn't the very best tonkotsu I've ever tasted, but it certainly packed a lot of flavor and ranks pretty high on my list. I devoured that bowl within minutes and craved another soon after. Our friend certainly didn't steer us wrong :)

Good authentic tasting ramen. Noodles very well cooked, and soup base is nice. Limited seating in a small shop. Very convenient CBD location, just next to Shelbourne hotel. Mostly communal tables, so it would be hard to get a seat as a group. Can be a long line/wait to order

Holy shit, the wafu shoyu!!! My first slurp of the broth and I was sold. The chicken and seafood mix is so damn tasty! This may even rival my favourite akamaru shinaji at Ippudo. The egg was the best seasoned I've ever had and the noodles had a good bite to them as well. This bowl of ramen was the best I've had in a while in my recent quest for great ramen in the city. I ate at the peak lunch time and it is definitely easier to get seating for one or two people.

Menya ranks pretty high up there for ramen in Sydney. Though it might not have the strongest tonkotsu soup out there it definitely makes up for it with shear variety of different ramens. Tucked behind 1 Market St, Menya Japan Noodle Bar City boasts a variety of different ramens on the menu. They also serve different udons and bento boxes that are both tasty. Obviously the main focus on Menya is ramen and they do a pretty legit job with it. I personally have fallen in love with the Chili Beef Ramen (Natural - Salt) and I seriously get it every time I go to Menya. Not for the faint of heart, it packs a bit of heat but nothing too crazy. Plenty of beef and chili to coincide with a very tasty broth (which you can choose as most have different varieties). The noodles are firm, but not in a crunchy sense but more of a strong noodle that I prefer compared to super soft noodles. Lunch during the week can be pretty hectic as seating is super abundant. There is some outdoor seating which definitely helps. If you're a fan of ramen then this is a must try spot, but I believe the original Menya in Chinatown is slightly better. None the less this place is a great as it is truly a central location!

Menya is a cute place tucked under a large building, so if you can navigate to find it, you'll enjoy a small treasure. I enjoyed the large menu selection. While a bit overwhelming, there were suggestions for the Chef's Recommendations along with all the traditional ramen bowls. My choice for the black garlic oil style tonkatsu did not disappoint. Good flavour from the rich broth along with all the toppings at no extra cost made it a great choice. Noodles were cooked well and it was quite filling, so you need not order extra toppings or sides unless you are really hungry. They have indoor and outdoor seating, all covered, and allows for larger groups. It's definitely a casual decor and a good spot for solo travellers like me looking for a late night bite of noodles.

Hidden behind a building menya noodle bar serves one of the best ramen in Sydney. In addition to ramen the noodle bar also serves udon, rice don, and appetizer. This is a very small store and there is normally a line up to order. Before taking a seat you will have to order at the cashier, they will provide you with a number and bring the food to your table. There are so self serve water machines in the store.

Barry T.

Affordable lunch/dinner spot for its location, where you can get a good feed for less than $10 The place also has daily specials where either a select Menya Box (bento) or bowl of noodles is slightly discounted. Would recommend this place if you want a quick meal (note - share tables) or working around the area.

Christina C.

One of the better ramens I tried in Sydney. It's cheap, fast, and tasty. In fact, my friend who took me there said it's her favorite. The gyoza and the tempura shrimps were just alright though. Just for the record though, I have had better and ramen is still ramen to me...

Nathan F.

Thanks to some yelp reviews I decided to checkout this hidden gem tucking inconspicuously between to buildings that just happened to be between the train station and my hotel one night. Firstly the place has all the stuff you love to see in a noodle shop, simple menu, with at a couple of customization options and easy ordering at the door as you walk in was a bonus. Once seated you sit on large communal tables at the benches along the walls, the serving staff then proceed to bring out your order as it is prepared. I had chili beef ramen with miso stock, and a side of gyoza, and the both were very flavorsome and enjoyable; great value too since I purchased them in a pack with Sapporo beer.

Eugenie C.

If you're looking for good ramen at cheap prices in the city, Menya fits the bill perfectly. For the $11.90 I paid, I certainly got my money's worth. Noodles cooked just right with a perfectly cooked yolk (orange and just set), slices of pork, a serving of shallots, and black garlic oil in rich, flavoursome broth. Plus it arrived in around 6 minutes from when I ordered! My only complaint on the food would be that the pork slices had big rims of fat - so there was more fat than pork, but fatty pork is normal in ramen. The restaurant is self-service - order at the counter, take a number and find a seat. Water is self-service from the water fountain. Service is minimal, they take your order and present you with food politely. Restaurant is small, maybe can hold 30 at maximum capacity. All in all, good food, cheap prices but you wouldn't come here for amazing service or ambience (they matter to me a lot, hence the 3 star rating - would be 4 stars otherwise!).

David K.

I got a mini katsu don here for 8.90 aud for a quick lunch Dont judge. I know its a noodle bar. Katsudon was ok, pretty average in my opinion for the size and price. The only reason im giving this place 4 stars is because the ramen is good. My choice: yokohoma tonkotsu ramen which comes is a decadent and richly flavoured pork based broth. I find the ramens here a bit more salty than other places. Noodles come in medium chewiness factor so make sure you let em know if you like it harder. One of the nice eats for 10.90aud There's the chilli beef one if you can handle the spice... seriously hot stuff Fyi, ramen is really salty so prepare to drink lots of water before and drink a hot tea after for best results.

The set up here is ridiculous. You have to stand at the counter and order your food before they give you a table. This basically means that you're left queuing outside (especially crappy if it's winter) while everyone in front umms and ahhs about what they want, slowed down even more by those who aren't expecting to suddenly have to grab a menu and decide on the spot. I don't expect anyone to be passionate about waitressing, but the staff here really couldn't care less. Other people's food was brought to our table more than once, and when our food arrived the waitress didn't even bother to ask who was having what, she just dumped the food on the table and walked off. The food was good, and that's why I'm giving it two stars. But, experience-wise, a complete joke. Do yourselves a favour and walk 10 minutes down to Haymarket and eat at Kura instead. read more

I'm always down for Japanese ramen, and when I saw that this place had good reviews I knew I had to try it out. I didn't know the process of ordering, so I was a little confused at first. You order first and then sit at a table. With so many options to choose, it got really cramped near the cash register and I was really worried I wouldn't get a seat. Luckily, it was lunch time and the restaurant was not packed. I ordered a combination meal of their signature ramen with a small bowl of curry rice and 4 gyoza. I really liked the gyoza because it had a spicy kick to it. The curry rice was average. But the real star of the meal was the ramen. The broth was very flavorful and they gave a healthy portion or noodles and cha shui pork. The price varies depending on the dish, but it's very affordable. read more

Stood in a queue that started well before the place opened at noon. Grabbed a menu so I could make my choice as you order and pay before you sit down. People further back in line had to wait for a seat in the small place. Ordered the Kyoto Ramen under the chefs recommendations. Very delicious, though listed as spicy and it wasn't. Deep, rich chicken broth with great noodles and a sheet of nori and a soy egg perfectly cooked. The bowl filled me up and was incredibly satisfying. If you have to stand in line to get in, well just pitch a tent and wait. This place is worth it. read more

Daaaaaaamn Menya has it locked down! I've gone twice in the last four days and I have no plans of slowing down anytime soon. So far I've had the Menya curry ramen and buta (stir fried pork) & kimchee ramen w/ miso. Both were excellent. The gyoza was only ok, but who cares when they serve up up ramen this good? This place is a bit busier during lunch time, but I was still able to get a seat within a few minutes. Don't forget to bring cash or you won't be eating. read more

I actually just got back home from having drinks after my dinner here, and I am craving more... I didn't go outside the box here; I got the Menya Ramen (Tonkotsu). It was AMAZING! I arrive at 5:50 (opens at 6pm), and my food arrived literally less than 2 minutes after I ordered. Before I had finished my bowl there was a long line and most the tables were taken, and I can completely understand why! Word to the wise: if you have a large-ish party, come early or at least not hungry because you'll have a wait. However, it will be completely worth your while. Very, very tasty! Very, very afforrdable! Delish! read more

Above-average tonkotsu ramen but it's got nothing on Gumshara. All tonkotsu soups taste like instant noodle broth after you have eaten the almighty Gumshara tonkotsu. The chashu that comes with the ramen is very good though - much better than the chashu at Gumshara and indeed at almost any other ramen restaurant. The curry is also good value. I ordered the standard curry with beef for $9.90 and the serving size was huge. Service is extremely fast. read more

I walked through the pouring rain and blustering wind (trust me, there were a ton of umbrellas floating around on the streets) to get here for a bowl of much needed ramen. I had been craving some and would go to any lengths for a bowl. It was a little hard to find, I had to try two times to get here. But the ramen definitely warmed me up after freezing in the rain. I also had Tori Kara-Age, which is my favorite kind of chicken (my mom always makes it for me). I ate it all up so fast, it was that good! Nice little atmosphere. Come in early if you want to eat with a group of friends. Otherwise you'll have to squeeze in one of the small seats around the restaurant. It's all so worth it though! read more

Thanks to Yelp for leading me here! I was craving ramen and wanted something within walking distance from our hotel. I was considering Ippudo, but we have that in the States and I wanted to try a "local" place. Menya is tucked inside/between some office buildings, but there were a sign on the sidewalk that led the way. We came on a Saturday for lunch and arrived right before a wave of people came, so we lucked out and didn't have to wait for a table. They have a pretty large selection for a ramen place (most places I've been to usually have just a handful of varieties for ramen), so I'm sure everyone should be able to find a bowl they like. The BF and I got agedashi tofu and gyoza in addition to our bowls of ramen. The tofu and gyoza were pretty standard, and the ramen was good. Nothing was mind-blowing amazing, but it's good enough that I would come back again. read more

Hands down has to be the best ramen I've tasted in Sydney (to date). I absolutely love coming back to this tiny restaurant just next to Darling Harbour. Fortunately for me a hop-step-jump from work. I usually make my visits during lunch (tip: aim to arrive at 12pm sharp, the lines tend to que up very quickly!!). I recently made a visit for dinner here with a party of 5. Anyone who has been to Menya before can agree that its a challenge to get their preferred seating (especially when in a larger group). The staff did eventually accomodate us inside and the food arrived within 5 mins of us sitting. One thing to keep in mind is Menya is famous for their ramen, so I opted for my personal favorite, the Yasai lovers Ramen w/ miso soup. There aren't too many vegetarian options available (Yasai lovers organic soba with organic udon being my 2nd favorite) but never fails to disappoint. Overall Food: 10/10 - My favorite spot for ramen in the city. Staff: 8/10 Location: 8/10 - Great location on Market Street and a hop-step-jump from Darling Harbour. It is quite cramped inside and not pleasant to be sitting outside due to a lot of the wind tunnels in the area. read more

Chicken bun - Got one of each = Chicken, pulled pork, ebi. All were good, but small portions. Promotion = 3 for $21AUD. Tori Shoyu Ramen - Good, but barely enough for one person. Small portions. Beer tasters - Orion Black & Suntory Malt; both were good. The Orion Black won! Condiments - Good selection, but did not want to take away from their signature flavors, so did not use or try. Atmosphere - Cool decor, see pictures. Beautiful bar, but no one was sitting there? Chef bar seating, perfect for single people. Semi open kitchen, sushi bar open kitchen. Open 7 days a week from 11:30am to 8pm, until 7:30pm on Sundays. Yelp hours differ. My picture of posted hours and their website has more accurate business hours. Service - Okay. Price - $49AUD, $32US, but left hungry... Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1985 and with your 12 Australian locations and with all of your world wide locations. 2008 Opened your NY, US location. 2010 Ranked #1 on Yelp in NY for US Coast to coast restaurant review. #3 in 2011. I am going to have to try your other 2 Bay Area, CA locations.

The place is small and the tables communal, but that makes the experience that much better! There is usually a line outside, but I find it moves rather quickly. Once inside, a nice hostess brings you to your seat and gives you a menu. After you decide what you want, you go to the window and order and pay. They give you a slip with a number and then you wait. There are drinks, but no alcohol. They have a water station and a condiment station. Once you get your food, stop by the condiments and load up on what you want, all free! Then, sit down and taste some of the best broth you have ever had! This palce is not fancy, but that's part of the charm- it is VERY Japanese- both the od and atmosphere. Enjoy!

BUT it was a dark rainy night and heading to Gogyo felt perfect. We did not have reservations so we sat at the kitchen counter and were able to watch the kitchen dole out incredible amounts of perfectly prepared food, like a well oiled machine. It was truly amazing to watch. The food? Amazing. We started with the ahi carpaccio, which was delicious. I could have slurped up the rest of the sauce with a straw. My husband and I both ordered the same ramen (kogashi shoyu with double toppings) and it was divine. The broth had so many dimensions of flavor, the noodles were fresh and chewy, the egg was perfect, and the meat was flavorful and not overly fatty. The only reason I won't be back before the end of our visit to Sydney is because there are so many other places I want to try.

That thick south, that soft bone ribs that melts in your mouth, that Noodle that is just right, they yoke that's is still runny... man... that was 2 things! Yum! And Calories! Was sooo good I can't help but to come back again! I had to take a star off because the beef was a little too salty that did not complement the noodle well, and it was quite pricey! All in all, you can't go wrong here and I STRONGLY recommend you try the thick soup instead!

Okay, I don't get why this isn't just called Korean BBQ?…read more We opted for the al carte and didn't want to do the AYCE since don't think we could do much damage. Got the following: Pork Jowl - this looked like pork belly to me and it tasted like pork belly. Wagyu short ribs - this was the only better tasting item. Prawns - eh Marinated Wagyu LA Beef ribs - this was super sweet. Didn't care for their marinated concoction. The three sauces that they supply you with here was underwhelming - this sauce that was filled with chili wasn't even spicy. It was sweet and I was expecting heat but heat level was 0. Seaweed looked a bit slimy.

Other than that, the touchscreens worked smoothly, and the waiters brought out our orders in a timely fashion. We could only order 5 items at a time, but you can place an order right after the previous one. The marbling on the steaks varied with each serving, but it's what you expect from a place that serves AYCE wagyu. Preserved veggies were delicious, and the black sesame ice cream was a great end to our meal!

Read about this place on an article and it did not disappoint!…read more There is a wide range of ramen to choose from. In most of the choices, you can pick shoyu, miso, tonkatsu soup base. I tried the black garlic shoyu ramen and it was really good. Just a right amount of noodles for me and the soup is flavorful. The takoyaki is a stand out for me, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. (will highly recommend it). My husband tried the Yasai ramen (vegetables) and it was really good. The stir fry vegetables was yummy, I will definitely order that the next time. Overall, a good food dining experience. Maybe not the best ramen I had, but it's definitely worth trying :)

We got there at 1956 and they stop taking orders at 2000. We had about four minutes for all three of us to pick a meal and place our order. With that being said, I'm not sure we got a full look at the menu but we're very happy with our selection. The food was delicious, filling, and very reasonably priced. One thing they did not do is refill our water. This seems to be a common thing in Sydney so maybe people don't drink much water or maybe you have to ask. We haven't quite figured that out yet.

I can't express enough how much I love this place. The prices are exceptionally low, and the food is out of this world. I'd eat here all the time if I could! Friendly atmosphere, excellent service, and we never have to wait long to get our food. read more

The Chilli Beef noodle ramen is amazing! Never ceases to impress me. It's the best thing on a cold winters day. The only downside is that it gets extremely busy during my lunch hour, but that's just a testament to how good it is. read more
