Taro's Ramen

Delicious ramen! Really good. Noodles very nice texture and broth is tasty. Atmosphere is so-so and this location doesn’t come with the bells and whistles at South Bank, but it’s nice and quiet on weekday evenings.

Positives: broth. Concerns: salty pork char siu. Average: firm noodles and price. Small: portion. Generous seating and spacing with in door and “outdoor” options. Service: okay. Nothing stands out as amazing, but it will fix any ramen craving.

To be honest, there's nothing to fault here. I just keep 5 stars for outstanding blow-my-mind restaurants but the food here was great. We had 3 tonkotsu ramens, 1 red tonkotsu ramen (tonkotsu with some chilli?), chicken karaage with rice, takoyaki balls, gyoza and some matcha green tea and black sesame ice cream. Staff were friendly, atmosphere was nice and tables were quite spaced out.

Authentic Japanese restaurant with very friendly staff who are passionate about what they do… and they do ramen, very well. Noodles are perfect and the broth (I had the Tonkotsu) took me back to my memories of ramen in Japan. Gyoza was delicious and drinks selection is plentiful. Prices are very reasonable as welll.. Highly recommended!

Good karrage chicken. Decent tonkotsu broth. Single thin slice of chasu is a bit on the less side.

3.5 ⭐️ - quick service and a good selection of different ramen options. Tried the: 🍜 Tonkotsu Ramen - I've always been a fan of their broth, it's super similar to ones in Japan but I wished their noodles were more springy. 🍜 Tsukemen - the soup was quite oily which wasn't enjoyable 🍜 Pork gyoza - small filling and also very oily and didn't have a crispy side

Taro’s ramen was always good. Today didn’t order regular Tonkatsu ramen and ordered miso ramen ( June special) instead. The ramen was like always, chew and nice. The special of this one is that they added a lot of black sesame. I love sesame, however, it was a weird flavor for my partner. 1 little unhappy was that we’ve had little black bitter chunky on both broths. It tastes like some overcooked bitterness. Anyway, not very recommend the June special. But all other regular ones are very worth trying ;)

Quick service, great food, really tasty vegan ramen~ Arrived just after 5:30pm when they opened for dinner on a Monday and it's pretty quiet. An hour later, still only about 1/3 of the seats are filled. The customers are having quiet conversations, the music in the background is also very soft so it's a nice place to come for a relaxing meal with friends or on a date.
