High quality ramen - a great and welcome addition to the limited genuine Japanese ramen places in…read moreSydney. This is a close second to Roy's Noodles which has more variation on soup (ramen) stock bases that are mostly pork but with some seafood and chicken base soups. Toriichi is all chicken based ramen soup stock and some great spicy ramens ( I had seasonal spicy garlic special) and "dry" (non soup) noodle options. Also worth trying are the gyoza (we had leek and spicy versions - both excellent!) as well as the yuzu karaage chicken which was tasty and very succulent. Will definitely be coming back again soon to try some of the other menu options.

I love ramen and I eat it religiously. Where ever I travel, I find the nearest and best ramen…read moreplace and go out of my way to try it. 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.

I was going to North Sydney for the weekend with my mum and it was a sunny but windy day and I was…read morecraving some ramen so I did some research and heard really good things about this restaurant. I am a sucker for Asian Cuisine, especially Japanese and especially their ramen and chicken. Already ate some of the noodles I don't remember now but I saw this secret menu thing online but it was tonkotsu+spicy broth I think.. It was exactly what I wanted. The noodles were perfectly cooked. Not too hard, not too soggy and the egg was so perfect and it was steaming hot!! The karaage chicken was also so yummy and it came out piping hot. Don't remember what mum ordered but she loved her ramen as well. Price is awesome for what you get although we were in a long queue, it took less than 10 minutes to get us in. I'm planning to go again this weekend. 12/10

If you are after some quick Japanese then Tokyo is the one for you…read more We were after some ramen but didn't realise that it was more the dry ramen aka no soup! Alas i got the Miso-katsu with crumbed chicken and my partner got the Yakiniku beef (spicy). You can have in or takeaway, mostly people had pre-ordered and just picked up. They have daily specials, When we went it was Teriyaki Salmon. Overall, good food, reasonable price and wasn't too busy so you can enjoy you dinner in peace.

This is honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I went into it as a bit of a…read moreskeptic because I like ramen but don't LOVE ramen, and Gogyo was out of our way and on the pricy side. 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.

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!

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.
