A sister restaurant of the ones in Campsie and Ashfield. The menu doesn't offer as much of a…read morevariety as the other stores but the standards of ramen and sushi platters are all there. Hubby and I opted for ramen on a cold damp day, we were going to order one each, however we stumbled upon the "Godzilla Ramen". There was a note next to the photo indicating $1 refund if you finish it alone. With that, it seemed to indicate that it may be enough for two so we ordered one of those, and a spicy tuna roll. (Trying to be frugal at the moment). Godzilla ramen - deeelicious!! The ramen came with thick slices of charshu, chicken karage, teriyaki (?) chicken, egg, corn, bamboo shoots, black fungus strips in miso broth. Definitely filling for two! Spicy tuna roll - as a person seeking the taste of a standard spicy tuna roll from Los Angeles, CA, this one was quite decent. Rather than a more minced type tuna, they did use chunks mixed with spicy mayo and Japanese chilli powder (Shichi-mi tōgarashi). It satisfies the craving. Verdict - a good go-to for ramen and simple sushi fix

So come early if you want to get a table. I know another regular who would come at 5:30pm for dinner so that he and his family would get a good table. They have extensive Ramen menu, they're packed with flavours and generous in size. If you feel like something simple, you can opt for a classic plain or tempura udon. They have sushi train for $3 a plate, bargain! Their bento has sides that I actually like. Each bento would have salads with home made dressing, salmon sashimi with home made wasabi, fried gyoza, seaweed salad, rice, miso soup and the choice of your bento meal. My favourite is the Beef Tongue, very tasty but some people might think it's a bit on the chewy side. There are so many more good things about this place. I tried so many things on their menu and never come across anything that I didn't like!

One of these is Manmaruya which has other restaurants in Campsie, Liverpool and Beverly Hills. They have such an extensive menu range from ramen to bento boxes, salads and sashimi to now a SUSHI TRAIN next door! The business is going so well that not only building a sushi train next door and connecting the two premises together, they have a Japanese BBQ at Beverly Hills now. Of course the ramen isn't on the same quality as Ippudo, Ryo and Hakata-Maru, it definitely one of the best in the area (especially compared to Ajisen!). The service is awesome and the waitstaff never says no and always willing to help. Seating is nice and cosy despite the small shopfront (hate the ones where you're elbow touching with the person next to you. ...) STRONGLY recommend the Salmon Lover (18 variations of salmon) and their Nanban Chicken. The sushi train is still fairly new and don't have much varieties as Oseki Sushi, but for those that aren't fussed, this is pretty much an all stop shop for Japanese! OH! This is also a local favourite for take aways!

I'm from California and when my friend and I went to Sydney, Australia, we did just that. This place was recommended to us by our Australian friends so we went and tried it and it was the BEST decision. We tried this place about a year ago in 2016 and I'm still thinking about this place. So far, this is by far the BEST RAMEN I've ever had anywhere. I really wish there was a Ryo Noodle near me but I guess I just have to make another trip to Sydney! Haha Their food is delicious, great price, the atmosphere is chill, friendly staff ended up talkin to one of servers who happened to be daughter of the owner. She was hella nice and recommend places to check out while we were out there. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back next time I'm in Sydney.

This time we gave Manmaruya in Ashfield a try for lunch. Just across the road and a short walk up Liverpool St from Ashfield mall. FOOD I shared a large Teriyaki Chicken Ramen ($14.80) and a Soft Shell Crab roll ($9.80) whilst the others ordered a Chicken Katsu Curry ($12.80), Pork Karaage Ramen ($12.80) and a large Cha-syu Ramen ($14.80). http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/1uWOnSumYcCFt4G_TRrptg?select=ZkxW7Oe3-KJbltrXYskPZw http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/1uWOnSumYcCFt4G_TRrptg?select=WmpErIg4qfZEH3X78JIyyw http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/1uWOnSumYcCFt4G_TRrptg?select=RVFg9jB6Ht0NJGKa9VnqRA http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/1uWOnSumYcCFt4G_TRrptg?select=Qtjjn-psYhib8uvgaZl-AA http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/1uWOnSumYcCFt4G_TRrptg?select=oRf113-NLeOlwA7FSkwoaQ Manmaruya's speciality is their ramen. For me the most important thing about ramen is the soup. Manmaruya has both pork and chicken soups. I personally always go for the more traditional pork based soup. I really enjoyed the one here as it is still tasty and flavoursome but at the same time not too salty unlike other ramen restaurants. The Soft Shell Crab roll was probably not the best tasting roll I've eaten but satisfied my craving for sushi that day. However it was well presented and I am definitely one to appreciate pretty looking food. Overall I thought the food is reasonably priced and the serving size was decent. SERVICE Unlike the Campsie branch this one was far less busy and so we did not have to wait to be served. The food came out within 10mins of ordering as well. VERDICT I think this is one of the better ramen places in Sydney and would recommend ramen lovers out there to give this place a try.
