Torasan Ramen - Kurunjang

Mainly japanese people working here which is a good start.<br/ <br/ The service was fast and friendly. Was introduced to the menu and also informed what was their specialty.<br/ <br/ Tried the signature ramen which was surprisingly good for a chicken soup base.<br/ <br/ Katsu curry was thick, full of vegies and cripsy katsu.<br/ <br/ Only downside was it was a tad on the saltier side.<br/ <br/ Reasonably priced. $12-20pp

I steered clear of this restaurant for awhile as the reviews were quite mixed but I finally took a plunge once some decent ones started to roll through. We went upstairs and ordered via their ipad service.<br/ <br/ I got a combination of gyoza along with their signature ramen. The gyoza was okay, perhaps a little more time on the fryer to get it nice and crisp.<br/ <br/ Their Torasan Miso ramen is their Hokkaido style ramen, not sure if I've had it before. Was expecting to see a knob of butter (maybe it had been mixed in already) but the corn was clearly visible. At first I thought the broth was very salty and it is, but it was quite addictive and rich, an unmistakable fermented soybean flavour, earthy and heavy on the umami. Not shy to say but I almost drank all of it. The chashu was very soft and slightly charred, mixed in was some minced chicken and half an egg. The noodles however was a bit of a let down, a bit too soft for my preference (normal). On the ipad that was the only option available.<br/ <br/ Plenty of seating when I went, priced well with the combo and was convenient with the ipad ordering system.

The miso ramen was alright. The broth was quite salty for my liking.The real star was the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice though! The Katsu had good thickness and the meat was super tender, whilst keeping a nice crunchy outer layer. The sauce was nice too with a slightly spicy kick. Would definitely return to have this again! Kirin beer on tap is an added bonus!

Miso was a little rich, but the spicy ramen was very nice

I got the spicy Miso ramen. It was good but the soup was too salty
