A friend of mine took me to this place upon a glowing recommendation. The ramen here is nothing like what I have had before. The chicken based broth is dense with flavour yet not empowering, it has a clean taste so it doesn't leave any bitter or oily taste behind your mouth. I would recommend to choose a harder noodle so I won't go soggy but it is entirely up to you. If you want to have a side, chicken karaage is the classic go to. It has a light batter coating, fried to perfection. Highly recommend and I'd go here many more times if I was living in Melbourne.

A delightful experience. The black tori ramen, gyoza and karaage were all winners. Unfortunately the Tori Shoyu ramen wasn’t. The broth lacked flavour and tasted like water with a a bit of salt, which was very disappointing. The other disappointing feature was the service. Staff were busy with orders but they should also be available for customers that may have questions about the dishes. That said, I would return.

They only offer chicken soup ramen. It’s hard to describe how good this is , you do have to come in and find out yourself. I’ve tried over 100 ramen shops around the world and this is within the top 3 among them. I almost drank all the soup as well. Their staff is super efficient and run 🏃‍♀️ to different tables to serve and to do the tidy ups. I had a 15 min wait around 6 o’clock during a Friday evening. Their dumplings seem a little over cooked but this wouldn’t overshadow the ramen noodles and their five star rating

Tried the Signature Tori Ramen here and it was absolutely delicious. They only serve chicken ramen here if I'm not mistaken, so perfect for those that don't eat red meat. The broth was still full of flavour and the noodles has a nice texture, not too chewy, not too hard or soft. The chicken was also not too hard, it was tender and had no fat (which I like!). Overall the ramen was well balanced and would come again. I believe it was around $17.90 for a bowl of ramen which can be on the pricey side but it's worth a try!

Hopped in here for a quick lunch from work. I knew this place served only chicken ramen, but decided to give it a try regardless. I had the Signature Tori Ramen which was okay, but less flavourful to my taste buds. I didn't get the satisfaction that I'd always get with a Tonkotsu (pork) soup ramen. I went with the 'normal' noodle (they had options of normal, soft, hard or very hard) option which I felt should have been softer. Also they do not have marinated egg in the soup which is a bummer. I had to order one separately ($2.30) to be added into the ramen. Otherwise, the service was quick and the staff very friendly.
