We picked Ito Noodle Cafe for dinner at random whilst walking along Bourke Street. The interior is spacious with comfortable booth seating.
I decided on the Black Cod Set under 'Chef's Suggestion'. The waitress warned me that it would take around 20 minutes. The set arrived with a generous piece of black cod, rice, miso soup and a side dish. Admittedly, I did not have high expectations of the food. The black cod was delicious - smooth, flavorsome and cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed the accompanying side dish of cold chicken slices in broth.
So the verdict based on my one-off dining experience: above average Japanese food.
I really like the speedy service here, especially during lunch hours they still manage to keep queues down to a minimum whilst maintaining quality in their food. The ramen is my favourite, definitely a must try. I have yet to try any of their other dishes on the menu, I just can't seem to get enough of their ramen and always end up ordering the same dish when I'm there. Recommended!
