O’Ramen O’Bento

Tucked in Southern Cross Arcade Food Court is this place. serving a range of Japanese Fast Food. You can get a range of smaller Bento Boxes (meat/​salmon/​tofu) that are pre-​prepared for a quick get away, or one of the ones that’s made to order. Of course, as the name implies, they also have a nice selection of Ramen bowls (noodle soup)
All in all pretty good for the value

The Southern Cross Arcade food court may often be overlooked — granted it’s not quite as new as some of the others and can look a bit grubby from time to time, but there are many well-​priced tasty food options here and O’Ramen O’Bento is one of them.
No, it’s not Irish-​Japanese fusion as the name suggests but it does have some pretty decent Japanese lunch fare including the ramen and bento hinted at in the name, along with a variety of udon noodle and rice dishes. The meals are well-​presented and they have a electronic numbering system for orders which is great, allowing you to return to your seat and keep an eye from afar on when your meal might be ready, rather than hanging out awkwardly in the walkway.
On this occasion, I had the beef udon, and it was most enjoyable — with quality beef and tasty broth, served with a side of pickled ginger. I ate alone so was spared the indignity of spattering any dining companions with noodle flick but I can recommend this as a place to come with a group, as there are plenty of options available.
