TL;DR:
Tenjin is one of the best deal ramen places on the Gold Coast.
Context:
Was actually looking for JFX Nexus Southport (which was closed), and found myself near Tenjin, so went there instead.
The time was around 2:45pm on Saturday, there were around 2 tables who already received their food. I ordered a Charsiu ramen (the original ramen with extra pork slices).
With no other orders waiting before mine, I got my ramen within 2 minutes, making it one of the fastest places.
Ramen:
The noodle used here is thin (less than 1mm) noodles. The soup is fine.
The pork slices are 1.5mm thick, cut from a roll of around 10cm diameter, which makes it one of the more generous dispensors of charsiu amongst ramen joints. The charsiu ramen boasts around 5 to 6 pieces of these babies - I think that's one of the best value-of-money charsiu ramens in Gold Coast.
Notes:
The kaedama (extra ball of noodle) here is free for the first serving per customer, then $2.50 each.
FYI, there's free self-serve pink pickled ginger and sesame grinder.
Also, there's a $2-off deal for big-eaters/macrophages who order a ramen and something deep-fried.
Verdict:
I keep on saying the line "one of the" for Tenjin, so to summarise: Tenjin is one of the best deal ramen places on the Gold Coast. read more
