Nice soup base !Generous portion.Great packaging.Although not entirely authentic Japanese but still tastes very nice

Nestled into Waters Rd in Neutral Bay is Ramen Toriichi serving up some drool-worthy dishes that will totally hit your Japanese comfort food cravings. Their signature dish of Cheese Chicken Katsu is a marvel in itself with a crispy crumbed chicken outer encasing molten cheese just begging to be drizzled into your mouth. I also tried the Toriichi Chicken Ramen and Roasted Pork Chashu Ramen which were lovely and warming with rich broth. Classics such as Chicken Gyoza, Edamame and Cucumber Shio made for beautiful lunch that is already pulling me back for more! Service was warm and attentive. A pleasure!

Was very excited to try their chicken cheese katsu, since everyone was raving about it online. For $19 for the set, not the best value for money and I dont think the katsu is chicken, it has a breaded outer layer filled will stretchy cheese. I also expected something more in the miso soup, just spring onions. I also grabbed the chicken nanban bento take away for $10 and the amount is not enough! The nanban sauce...there should be more of it, and not enough rice. Also the service from the lady needs improvement. She asked me a question but didnt make eye contact and acknowledge my answer...For an area that has several Japanese eateries, there are better places for your Japanese food fix.

Good value for money. The lunch special was good and very filling. Nice cosy place and friendly staff.

Beautiful Japanese food. The indoor seating is not bad but the outdoor can get a little windy and cold depending on the weather (apparently heaters are all non functional)The food is overall nice and well presented. Didnt find the ramen amazing although I do like the pork and chicken broths respectively. The broth is thick but not Gumshara thick.I personally think the extra ramen portion would ruin/dilute the broth so just order it standalone or just ask if they can separate the extra serving on a side.The deep fried food are nice, and love the smon skin. the curry is not bad either. The pan fried gyoza isnt the normal japanese gyoza Ive had but still alright.Will come back for more.

Best Japanese food, they are so lovely and always make it such a lovely experience - highly recommend

We used to go to this place quite often but because it was limited to chicken varieties of ramen, we stopped going for a while. Now the menu has changed and there are many more types of ramen, including pork. Delicious!

Personally, I dont think the ramen has a good depth of flavour. The karage was good, the dumplings were nice.

Walking up the stairs at the front of Ramen Toriichi leads you into a magical world full of ramen and a plethora of other Japanese treats. The staff are warm and welcoming, the food is delicious and we almost didn’t want to go home after. It was a lovely night full of wonderful memories ☺️

Overall great food! The ramen style is quite different to a lot of other ramen joints. All the broths are soy-based, so if you are after miso based, this may not be the kind of ramen for you. The broth is not as thick but still very flavourful and delicious!

Plenty of options here including items like fish skin you don’t see very often (and is yum if you didn’t know) and lotus root shops. They have this cheese karaage which is different and filling. The ramen had a peppery taste to it,I like it! Came as a guest

One of our fave local spots! ❤️ Everything we’ve tried has been delicious, especially the pork soup ramen (perfect for these cold winter days) and their Toriichi special katsu 🙌🏻 Also, their attention to detail and cosy ambiance is top notch!

Ramen Toriichi specialises in delicious chicken-based broths and has recently added a pork-based broth to their menu. I enjoyed slurping up the Ninniku red, it was super thick and full of flavour.My only complaint is that I didnt think the ramen or spicy gyoza was spicy at all, even though they were marked with chilli symbols.I recommend trying some of the side dishes as they were really tasty and pretty unique. They had this awesome cheesy katsu and the texture was perfect with the smooth, creamy cheese and crunchy batter. The cucumber miso was a nice surprise, super refreshing.🍜 Toriichi - chicken broth⠀🍜 Ninniku red - garlic chicken broth⠀🍜 Roasted pork chasu ramen ⠀🧀 Cheese chicken katsu⠀🍢 Teriyaki tofu⠀🍗 Chicken katsu⠀🥒 Cucumber Miso⠀🍣 Salmon Sashimi⠀🥟 Spicy gyoza⠀

The food is excellent. Silken tofu lightly fried. Lotus root garnish. Man this is excellent!

Good restaurant, I ordered the cheese chicken Katy’s, a bit disappointed, it is good but I think the normal chicken Katsu is better than the cheese one!The ramen set with the rolls are great, but if u are very hungry, you may not enough

Highly recommend the food at toriichi ! Portion servings are generous and the food is fresh and well made. Highly recommend the pork chasu ramen 😊IG- @eatwith.cici

Very enjoyable meal.Good service.Indoor and covered outdoor seating available.Reasonable price too.Parking on the side streets.Will be back.

Love the idea of a set with Ramen and a Donburi bowl so you can have a bit of everything. If you order Ramen it is quite thick and its chicken which Ive never had before. Still good!The cheesy chicken tonkatsu, miso cucumber or tofu are all great sides to share.Staff are lovely. Nice hidden gem in Neutral Bay. Ill be back soon!

Ramen Toriichi is such a hidden gem! I was extremely impressed with the chicken-based ramens, and this is now one of my favourite ramen places of all time. The Niniku Red ramen was so delicious, and I loved how thick and rich the soup was, in the best way possible. I also loved the deluxe ramen teishoku with the half Shoyu ramen and mini chashu don. The side dishes were so tasty and unique as well, definitely try the cheese chicken katsu and miso cucumber. I loved my meal here and would highly recommend trying out Toriichis incredible chicken based ramen and Japanese food!

I absolutely enjoyed the food here! The pork bone based ramen with chashu was so unique. Their flavour is so different from any other ramen place I’ve tried in Sydney. It was really nice and the texture of the soup is a bit thick even though it doesn’t look like it. Overall, one of my favourite ramens, flavour is so unique! A must try is definitely the Cheese Chicken Katsu! I don’t know anywhere else who serve these and they taste amazing. I want to come back for this. The staff were friendly and quite attentive. Food came out within 10-15 minutes after ordering. Inside, Toriichi Ramen, they have a really nice mural of ramen next to the cash register area and you can tell they specialise in ramen.

A good bowl soup of ramen with a slight less thick broth of ramen. The broth is creamy and has that subtle taste of the pork bone. The chatsu is tender. The waiter thats served us was very friendly and attentive. On cold night, definitely have a try of ramen toriichi. Warms the belly and the soul 🍜🍜

Ramen in chicken broth was delicious! Creamy and tasty, I don’t usually finish the broth but I drank the whole bowl. Ordered the lunch combo set which included a half ramen and chicken rice don. Everything was tasty and very reasonable prices (lunch set was only $10). I also love that they do half-ramen sizes, perfect for me. Would definitely return to try the other things on their menu!

Ramen Toriichi has my favourite ramen in all of Sydney!! It is my favourite restaurant to eat out at and I typically go once every three weeks. The food is absolutely delicious and it is consistently good every single time. It is very affordable and the variety across the menu is so impressive. The service is amazing, the staff are so lovely and friendly and they remember my name and greet me when I walk in :) They are so sweet and helpful. My favourite is the Spicy Pork Ramen and the Deluxe Ramen Special Toriichi bento box! Try it out and you will not regret it.

I had an excellent dinner at this restaurant. Was my first time there and everything I ordered was delicious. Also the waitress are very nice and attentive. I highly recommend this place.

Had ramen here a few days ago. 5 stars are for their service. Thanks for a lovely meal on a cold night!

My friends and I were very happy with the quality and authenticity of the food here. Very fresh and decent servings.

Pieces of plastic was found in sushi :(

This quaint little establishment has a peaceful atmosphere, authentic food and great tasting Ramen 🍜 .I highly recommend it, especially for the Ramen and Gyoza on a cute little sizzling iron plate.

Rich and flavorsome soup base! Love the ramen!

This small Japanese restaurant has a nice decoration and serves good tasty Japanese food.Electronic card payment is accepted here. No surcharge when the total bill is over $20 which can be easily reached when you order the full size Tonkotsu Ramen during the dinner time.Parking is free off the street after 6 PM weekdays.

Very delicious food, especially chicken Ramen~ staff are very friendly. Good choice in windy day, the noodle soup is warm and tasty.

Rating: a solid 3.5/5Another ramen joint. Occupying what used to be a carousel of cafes n restaurants, this one opened without much fanfare (read: excessive promos, invites n write ups via social media n PR machine). All the better for them as it allows down to earth (read: no pressure, honest) calibration of ratings n reviews. It can be refreshing to enjoy a joint’s offerings without hyped up expectation. Run by japs n having more than half of its patronage by japs is a reassuring start.We ordered a couple of their signature shio ramen, chicken namban, coriander dumplings n ebi (prawn) bao. First up the dumplings came out looking a bit dry n sad. Must be the frozen kind we thought. Dont we all judge by appearances.. dip the dumplings in the dumpling sauce n enjoy its delicate paper thin wrap (slightly crunchy yet did not tear easily) n fragrant filling. A nice appetizer 3/5.Chicken namban, not drenched in ponzu sauce (thankfully) but drizzled w tartar like jap mayo. Juicy succulent pieces they were. A 3.25/5.Ramen came out piping hot. The broth is hakata style which is less thick n more milky than yasaka or gumshara. Add the pickled yuzu pepper, you’ll get a unique faint citrusy aroma in the broth. Noodles was al dante, just the way i liked em. The let down was the toppings more specifically the (thick) chasu pieces. They were from a leaner cut than i personally like. That said, they were quite soft. Just drier than i’d like. Still a 3/5.The ebi bao set was quite divine. Perfect ratio of meat n bao. The breaded ebi was juicy yet crunchy. A welcome contrast to the soft bao. A 3.75/5.Here’s hoping the carousel stops w ramen toriichi.

Best Ramen Ive had in Sydney!! The food is always so fresh and tasty and never disappoints! You really need to try this place, everything on the menu is fantastic and the staff are super friendly. I would give 6 stars if I could

DELICIOUS flavours. Wonderful staff! Highly recommended for lunch or dinner. Whats amazing as well is that you can order half portions od=f ramen so you can try different flavours. Their RAMEN is seriously AMAZING!!! Karaage chicken is sooooo juicy and tasty and prawn gyoza was to die for, super soft ad fresh... THANK YOU Toriichi we will be back! :)

Wow, this Ramen place maybe in my top 5. Their signature ramen broth is full of flavour, you have a choice of adding truffle oil (recommend) and a sort of yuzu paste which surprisingly adds a strong kick. The chicken is cooked delicately and the flavour! Im going to have to try their slow cooked chicken special next time! Ramen noodles has great texture. The menu has a lot of variety, but wow you have to try their ramen if youre a first timer. Portions satisfied my lunch appetite, but to be super full Id go for some sides or extra meat. Well done. What am amazing find

I dont bring out the 5 stars often and a lot of thought goes into each one but we keep coming back here for their Tan Tan ramen because its soooooo damn good!Tasty, rich broth and al dente noodles with all of the other great ingredients that make a magnificent Ramen...and make sure to order a side of Karage Chicken as its excellent also. Love it!!

This is a great place to have ramen on a cold day. Most customers are Japanese which says a lot about the place. Loved the chicken soup of the ramen which has a great flavour. Also worth trying the taro chips as they are very addictive. The place is cosy and child friendly so its not for large groups. Overall loved the food and the staff is very attentive and friendly!

I ordered a Vegan ramen as I cannot eat meat. Halfway through the bowl, I noticed small pieces of meat in the broth.Im quite disappointed and I dont think I will ever eat there again.

Ramen place that specialises only chicken and seafood broth. The chicken soup is absolutely sensational. Layered flavours and well prepared noodles. Notice the empty bowl... Was too hungry and forgot to take photo of the ramen before digging in😂

Best chicken base ramen in Sydney, so far.

Stopped by at one of iconic ramen restaurants in the Sydney North Shore.Their signature ramen filled with homemade Collagen with a hint of Truffle oil hits the spot. The broth has a lot of flavour and the meat is tender and juicy.I would like to return here whenever I have the chance.

We came across this ramen shop by accident and gave it a try.Ordering was done via tablet and turn around was efficient.To our suprise the broth was not the expected overpowering rich yet it was flavoursome enough that we finished the entire bowl.The noodle texture was perfect and not over cooked like most.Highly recommended!

Used to be one of the nicer Ramen places. Returned for a quick 6:15pm dinner after >6 months to find the lighting dimmed, the bowls literally stuck to the tables and suspect the cutlery not the cleanest. Not a good sign during times of COVID. A quick peak into the kitchen when paying shows a messy kitchen.The saving grace is that the food was reasonably good still.I support local businesses, and hope to share feedback.

Hidden gem in Neutral Bay! Great quality food and excellent service.

🐔白湯拉麵🍜👍🏻(🐔white soup 🍜 very nice👍🏻)

Love their pork soup ramen - thick and flavourful! Mozerella was perfect on the cheese chicken katsu also - highly rec

I dont know if the chef has changed lately, but the reviews are not indicative of the quality and authenticity of the ramen that I had last night. The egg with my ramen was not a soy egg with a nice yolk, but a fully cooked boiled egg. Very disappointing. I have never been to a ramen place that would serve a simple, boiled egg with the ramen. The broth was very salty and did not have the depth of flavour I would expect. A disappointing experience and I would not go back.

Everything we ate was so good! Amazing ramen, sushi and you have to try the cheese chicken katsu!

Great ramen and service!!

Very yummy lunch time treat

One of the best ramen I’ve ever eaten outside japan , insanely good food !

Delicious ramen here, always tasty and fresh with generous portions. I get something different every time and I have never been disappointed yet!

Healthy soup and high quality of chicken meat

The best ramen i ever had in sydney, with very nice customer service. The dumplings was very amazing they have 2 types of dumpling(pork and chicken), and the best part is ramen, with rich flavours, the pork and chicken on the ramen that was very unforgettable, i wish that i have so much time to come and try the another menu.

The best ramen ive ever had in Sydney, my favourite was red garlic ramen it tasted so good especially when i added chili pepper that even make the ramen fantastic. In other hand, the customer service was great the waitress was so friendly. Very recommended ramen place! Will come back for sure!

I was here with a couple of friends for dinner, we all enjoyed our food, great flavours, priced well and portions are really generous. Minor note customer service could be just a little more attentive, however would come back here again.

Great Traditional Japanese restaurant. The food is nice at a reasonable price and staff are friendly. Ramen is great

Best hidden ramen shop, will come again

I used to be a regular here. I can’t believe no one has mentioned this but they have had a serious drain fly problem for ages and it’s so disgusting. I can’t enjoy dining here anymore with drain flies buzzing around me even though their coriander gyoza was one of my favourites.Please do some pest control and get rid of the flies, please!!

I like the food here, but service is down the girl at the counter is rude and does not represent japanese culture. I come regularly and yet treated like a stranger no greetings anymore or goodbye etc. I think I will give ramen a miss for a good 3months. Front counter staff have the ability to ruin a business.

The food at Toriichi Neutral Bay was delicious! I highly recommend the cheesy chicken katsu and the Ninniku ramen (red garlic chicken based). These were my favourites for sure. If you are looking for a lighter option, the cucumber shio is very refreshing and makes for a lovely entrée. Overall, I definitely recommend and can’t wait to return.

I was pretty excited at first but it turned out to be really disappointing. We ordered red garlic ramen, soy chicken char su ramen and pork dumpling.The noodle was slimy, the pork char su was tough and smelly, the broth taste like instant noodle soup, and the worst part was they put hard boiled egg on top! (I couldn’t imagine a ramen with hard boiled egg)Customer service was really bad as well, the lady was rude.We notice the kitchen is messy and dirty.The table smells awful. We didn’t finish our meal and definitely will not come again.If you are looking for a decent original ramen place just go elsewhere.

Rich and delicious broth, with generous amounts of toppings and noodles.

Very yummy ramen very authentic Japanese style

This place was absolutely disappointing. The ramen combo is a half size ramen without seaweed and bamboo shoot with a 4 pieces of sushi sidedish which cant fill my stomach half full. The soup also had no flavour but savoury and far away from cream and thick. Last, the noodles, I dont know why they were so slimy and stuck together, soaking too long? If you really want some decent ramen, please go elsewhere.

Our local, great for relaxed dining and food cooked fresh to order.

Damp smelling tables, fruit fly fluttering about, hard boiled eggs disguising as ramen eggs, chicken disguising as pork in the chashu ramen and salty and flavourless broth.Highly disappointed by this local establishment particularly given the high reviews.

Fantastic gyoza. Everything is always delicious and fresh.

Toriichi Ramens signature is their Paitan - a creamy, chicken based broth thats a great alternative to pork based soups. This style still packs a lot of rich flavour while still being quite thick, making the soup cling to noodles very well.Chicken dishes are fantastic, with newer items like cheese katsu as well as a killer karaage, great to nibble on with noodles or a drink

30 mins! The only food that arrive was miso soup. I don’t understand how it takes more than 30 mins to cook some ramen. I can do it myself.

We had ordered for home delivery. The food quality and quantity was great.Deluxe Katsu bento box - chicken was fried to perfection and it was served with rice, fried tofu, salad and Miso soup.Red torichi Ramen - it was spicy but tolerable spicy for an Indian tongue. Ramen soup was just finger licking good. Fried chicken with it was done perfectly too.Strongly recommend this restaurant do not miss their Ramens.

Absolutely awful. Got a katsu donburi. The katsu was extremely salty, almost to the point of being inedible. Conversely the sushi rice was over-sweet. Instead of a properly cooked egg (for a donburi Id expect something fried or scrambled), they gave HALF a hard-boiled egg. Along with ONE slice of cucumber and ONE slice of tomato (and one slice of bamboo shoot that is essentially cardboard), that was the entire, small bowl. Im glad I didnt order any sashimi to go with it.If you want a good donburi, go to Sakura in North Sydney. This place is just terrible.

The prawn broth ramen was lacking flavour. The noodles were good though. The ordering was difficult via tablets.

Very nice food. Reasonable priced and comfortable environment. Would recommend.

We arrived within the time allocated for our table, only to find our table given away.

It is a very particular ramen. Not for everyone fav but ok otherwise

Come here on my work break, it can be a bit busy, but it’s worth it. Always delicious, fair prices and nice staff. Best ramen in this part of sydney!

Delicious! Staff is very friendly.

Excellent ramen and friendly service well priced!!

Lovely dinner here, very friendly service and no pressure to move along, so enjoyed leisurely night. Love the auto ordering system, completely stress free!

Great and inexpensive Japanese restaurant with BYO ($2.5 per person). Recommend the Deluxe set for around $20 which includes nigiri, sashimi, half size ramen, salad, tofu and cha su rice. Spicy Karage chicken also excellent!

Half ramen available! Great flavour and variety of Japanese dishes as well as several different ramen. Great service

Pretty tasty. Popular place. I was in Japan for a month in December, so I was craving some ramen. The noodles seem different to those in Japan. But still yummy. Water service could be improved.

Love this place best food!

Best Ramen in the Bay! Love the friendly staff, the atmosphere and the set up of the place. Great spot and cool way of ordering via Ipad at your table. Great for dates and catch ups with friends

As a previous visitor of Japan, I was craving ramen and sushi that was similar to that in Japan. I can definitely say that the ramen and sushi here took me back to the tasty restaurants in Japan. I recommend the red garlic pork ramen. Will definitely be recommending this restaurant to my family and friends!

Awesome!

Japanese restaurant ??? this is a good place to try , Clean and spacious restaurant, good services and very friendly staff . Food is very yummy and tasty , everythng turned out good . Theres so much choices, everything looks famous.I was very pleased with mine. Portion sizes were good, food was quick.So i ordered Roasted pork chashu ramen , this is very high recommend cause the based is very creamy and also rich flavour.And i highly recommend to order cheese chicken katsu , this is signature menu and also i was amazed with the texture chicken is very and blend with the cheese,what a perfect match 👌👌👌

Food made quickly, very well made and priced.

The cheese katsu really taste good and the ramen is awesome!

Absolutely amazing! Must try!

Delicious authentic ramen bowls and yummy side dishes and nice decor. Friendly staff and top notch service. If you’re looking for something nice, chill and relaxing on a weekend and craving for a bowl of delicious ramen, here’s definitely a great place for you and your mate to rest your feed and enjoy!

Good tasty ramen ever. Food is bit delay. However, satisfied. We will be back.

Great food, fast and nice service.

Some of the best ramen in Sydney. Quiet 20 Seater place with exceptional food. Service is always great. Dog friendly outside area too!

Love the grilled salmon, miso cucumber salad and red tonkotsu ramen here. Very reasonable prices and great service. Perfect for lunch and dinner!

Great place for a quick easy meal

I’ve been to Toriichi a few times and the standout was the amazing broth in the black sesame ramen; there was noticeable taste of sesame in the broth that doesnt taste overpowering nor grainy. There was just enough chilli to warm the throat, but not be spicy.Chashu and chicken in the soup was passable. Eggs were overcooked, which seems to be a recurring problem (egg doneness is rather inconsistent). Please keep the eggs to 6 minutes and then an ice bath.Also ordered the yuzu lemon chicken, and the karaage. Well fried, but the karaage was under marinated.All in all the best broth in the Lower North Shore.

Great ramen, the chese katsu is awesome!

Great ramen and service
