I can say that i have had better ramen else where but for Kokoro Ramen it wasn't too bad. Service is average and staff seem to work hard in getting the orders through. The ramen tasted great to begin as it was super hot but as it cooled down i could taste the flavours were lacking. The broth needed a bit more flavour to go with everything else however the gyoza dumpling were nice. Crunchy as they were pan friend. Great location in Melbourne city and easy to get to.
Kokoro Ramen can probably be classified as your old-time 90s Japanese dining shop that seems to love wearing the same old clothes. Even though it is located in the vicinity of Melbourne CBD and has a relatively large and spacious floor, the place seems out of date with low light atmosphere that feels like someone has forgotten to change the broken bulbs, the furniture that appears to have been on the same floor for decades, and som random dance music resembling a mom attending her daughter's prom.
The staff was quite attentive when we came in. We were shown a table and given the menu there, but we weren't being told that it was actually a counter ...read more
This is a great fun place for Ramen. They have an extension ramen restaurant with lots of different types of noodles and combinations. For an additional $2 you can have gyozas as a side dish as well. They do a decent tonkatsu curry and also the service is fast and friendly. You have to come up and order at the counter. It's very a authentic experience.
