Tenkomori Ramen House, Sydney CBD


Who doesn't love a good bowl of warm, steaming ramen? There's something about slurping the noodles that's so comforting. Ultimate winter food don't you think? Even though it's not winter yet, Sydney's had some pretty crazy weather that's been all over the place lately and despite it currently being summer, there's been some cold wintery days too! Though it has been heating up this past week... What is with that?


Tenkomori is the brother store of Menya Mappen and Oiden where you line up cafeteria style, pick your ramen base and add on anything else that takes your fancy from the hot bar or cold dishes!

Tonkotsu butter corn ramen, large $7.30
I love tonkotsu based ramen! Mm, pork collagen... This was particularly good because the butter made it that much richer. Look at the pool of yellow the melted butter left behind! I also loved hunting for those little pieces of corn.

Chicken kara-age, $2.20 & takoyaki, $2.00
Fried chicken! It tasted good but for some reason it was cold :( I always can't help but grab myself a stick of takoyaki. Love that stuff!

Tonkotsu curry ramen, regular $6.30 & mushroom salad, $1.80 (I think)
I was really interested in this ramen because I've never eaten curry with ramen before and I wasn't sure how the two would pair. It actually tasted good! If you like Japanese curry, you'll love this :) And those mushrooms that have been marinated were quite sweet, pairing very well with the spicy kick from the curry.

If you're up for something quick, and something cheap then this place is it.

  2. Not a fan of this place I'm sad to say. Pity as it's so convenient.

  3. We were going to eat there the other day. We arrived but they were renovating the place around it so it smelled all... nauseatingly paint-like. So we went to another place.

  4. I like the side dishes here but didn't really rate the ramen.

    1. I found the ramen ok - not anything spectacular, but nothing horrible either. Side dishes are always awesome!

  6. Curry ramen also makes me a bit apprehensive - I picture Indian curry in noodle soup form and it doesn't sound appealing - curious to know are there any differences between Japanese and Indian curry?

    1. There are definitely differences in flavour! I haven't had many Indian curries so I wouldn't know too much about it, but the Japanese seem to eat their curry in a lot of weird ways! Or at least non-conventional to the likes us us :P
