I'll definitely be making this a regular place to go eat at with friends.

Excuse me, Kobe, but I'm a little bit in love with you…read more I first stuck my head in here on the way home from a dentist appointment because I needed a bit of cheering up after that horror, and because I recalled seeing someone online raving about the ramen noodles being handmade, and Kobe being the only place they'd come across so far in Hobart who go to such care. Well! On walking in the door, the loveliest older pair of staff welcomed me so kindly, I almost considered asking for a hug (pls remember, dental trauma). Instead I took a seat at the table I was escorted to, and then eyeballed the menu for longer than I care to admit, waging a war within myself. I came in with the intent of eating the ramen, but all I wanted once I saw chicken katsu don was chicken katsudon. I suddenly and urgently missed the days of hanging out at Hanaichi in Brisbane with my heart friends. So I got the chicken katsudon, with hearty encouragement from the lovely older lady, because it's her favourite. IT WAS SO DELICIOUS. It's like a comfort food is back in my life and I'm so, so happy about it. Have I been back already? I sure have. The second time, I stuck to my guns and had the Kobe ramen. It was also delicious, hearty and messy (like all good ramen should be). Now all I need to do is never stop visiting. The layout is a bit strange, being in the ground floor of some kind of short-stay apartment building, with entrances to the accommodation in the middle of the restaurant (which I guess once just served as a foyer but has now been farmed out). I suppose if anything, I hope Kobe gets the chance to move locations and find somewhere they fit a bit more comfortably. But if they're comfortable here, then I'll get comfortable here, too. As long as nobody takes my katsudon away from me.

I chose the #11 beef noodle bowl. It only took about 5 minutes to serve and it was nice and hot. There was a good amount of meat and that made me happy. After taking the first bite I felt a little let down. It didn't take much to realize the meat wasn't seasoned at all as you could still taste the freshness. Also the noodles didn't really have any taste. I put some chili oil and soy sauce in it and finished the rest. There are many other Asian restaurants, I think I will try another tomorrow

How have I not yet reviewed Sakura?…read more I started going here out of convenience--it's literally around the corner from my current place of work, and one of the only lunch spots actually open when I have my regular 4pm lunch break. I kept going here because of the delicious fresh sushi and the adorable staff. I often don't have time for a noodle dish but the one ramen bowl I have had was delicious (once it had cooled down a bit; I'm a sook). There's no extra charge for soy sauce or even Japanese mayo if you're dining in, and there's always a seat (well, there is when I go in around 4pm, anyway). Quick and easy lunch option six days a week, quick and easy review.

After a couple flights and an Uber into town, we were ready for our first meal in Hobart. We were…read morenear North Hobart, which has a ton of restaurants on Elizabeth Street, so we decided to try Midori Japanese Kitchen. We dropped in on a Thursday afternoon (around 1:30pm). Empty except for people that kept on coming in to get these sushi rolls from the counter. Not sure why they were so popular. All rice and not much real ingredients. There's a couple different menus. They have a ramen menu with four different bowls (oddly, all are at the same $15.80 AUD price point). The main menu is split into Japanese salad, chicken & pork, seafood, vegetarian, tempura, rice and udon noodles, set (bento boxes) and set menu options. You go up to the counter and order. There's tap water in the drinks display case (bottom row). Oddly, they don't give you any soy sauce for your rolls, nigiri or sashimi. - Sushi & sashimi set (#1) ($15.80 AUD) - assorted sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi served with ginger and wasabi. There were two smoked salmon, two canned tuna and two chicken rolls. Smoked salmon was good; the other two were dry and bland. Desperately needed some soya sauce. Four nigiri (salmon, ebi, seaweed salad and tofu); decent. Sashimi consisted of five pieces of salmon. This was different as the salmon tasted saltier/brinier. You could taste that it was from the ocean. - Pork katsu set (#6) ($15.80 AUD) - pork katsu, seafood nuggets, garden salad and steamed rice. Seafood nuggets tasted like they were from a frozen, pre-packed box. Katsu was better but the meat was dry and needed more sauce. Garden salad was enjoyable. Merely average Japanese food. Nothing compared to what you get back in Vancouver.

This is honestly the worst ramen I have ever experienced, and I've eaten a lot of ramen…read more I would have had a more wholesome ramen experience from an instant packet, which at the very least would have provided some flavour. This meal however came out looking delicious, but was in fact a bowl of regular instant noodles swimming in a large bowl of vaguely pork-tasting dish water.

The menu is on par with burger joints on the mainland in terms of price, and BGS is keen to draw attention to the freshness of their ingredients, from their salads through to their house-made buns. Eat in store or take away. My favourite thing about take away at BGS is that they welcome phone orders, so instead of having to hang around Sandy Bay for fifteen minutes, you can just roll up, collect your order and take off. Perfect. Plus there's Gillespies Ginger Beer (my happy place) in the fridge. If you're dining in (or waiting for takeaway) there's also free wi-fi for customers, which is always a winner in my books.
