Manmaruya

There’s really valuable service. Enjoyed miso ramen & karaage rice. But don’t look forward to the lunch special, cold dish there is not so nice:(

In this specific restaurant i knew nothing about it until i walked in on a random night. It then turned into a dining experience thanks to the waitress. She gave me reccomendations to tipical japanese food. Food was great and the environment was appropriate. I wish deff go back

Never go wrong here– I’m an old faithful. Great portions, fresh fish, hearty well constructed sushi rolls. Soft shell crab salad is great and we can’t go past the dragon roll. Get here at 7 on a weekend and you’ll be waiting for a table. Not fancy but the food sure is. But with soul.

Finally, a great Japanese restaurant in Ashfield! Sometimes when I visit Ashfield, when I can’t eat any more dumplings, all I want is Japanese food. This place is great. The ramen is some of the best I’ve had in Sydney. The dinner boxes are also great. Really, it’s all great. Except the service, which is just good. I think I’ll be spending some time here. Yum.

Great Japanese place.
They sell all the usual favourites and also a huge range of ramen. I’ve yet to try the soups, but I can vouch for their great gyoza, sushi, beef tataki and the fact they sell Goshu Blue (awesome Aussie sake).
Take away seems to be a popular option, one that I took advantage of, but they have a pretty big space so next time I’ll be eating in and giving their tonkotsu a try (didn’t want to risk a take away job on that one and driving it home in the car!)

I am a frequent weekly customer. Hands down the best Jap restaurant in the area. Bento boxes are big, delicious and great value. You will not be disappointed.

Best ramen I have had in Sydney (though obviously I haven’t tried them all). Sushi & bento boxes are good too. Prices are reasonable at dinner, and lunch specials are very cheap.

Awhile back I was taken to Manmaruya in Campsie and really enjoyed my bowl of ramen but was quite shocked at the sub standard level of service we received there. This time we gave Manmaruya in Ashfield a try for lunch. Just across the road and a short walk up Liverpool St from Ashfield mall.
FOOD
I shared a large Teriyaki Chicken Ramen ($ 14.80) and a Soft Shell Crab roll ($ 9.80) whilst the others ordered a Chicken Katsu Curry ($ 12.80), Pork Karaage Ramen ($ 12.80) and a large Cha-​syu Ramen ($ 14.80).
Manmaruya’s speciality is their ramen. For me the most important thing about ramen is the soup. Manmaruya has both pork and chicken soups. I personally always go for the more traditional pork based soup. I really enjoyed the one here as it is still tasty and flavoursome but at the same time not too salty unlike other ramen restaurants. The Soft Shell Crab roll was probably not the best tasting roll I’ve eaten but satisfied my craving for sushi that day. However it was well presented and I am definitely one to appreciate pretty looking food.
Overall I thought the food is reasonably priced and the serving size was decent.
SERVICE
Unlike the Campsie branch this one was far less busy and so we did not have to wait to be served. The food came out within 10mins of ordering as well.
VERDICT
I think this is one of the better ramen places in Sydney and would recommend ramen lovers out there to give this place a try.
