Ichi-ban Boshi - Bondi Junction

The serving sizes are really big for the ramen so you need to come hungry. You can get vegetarian broth. I like the tofu and the very spicy ramen. I also like the green tea latte. I do not like the curry and I'm not a fan of cold soba. Service is okay.

The restaurant is busy at lunch time. Like the atmosphere, bustling. See rice is fast. Good for a quick meal on a cold winter day. The noodles are so so. The soup for both orders are a bit salty.

Ordered the pork katsudon and the spicy beef ramen. The pork katsudon was good, tender juicy pork, good sushi rice, just enough sauce to coat the rice and pork. The beef ramen was a bit disappointing because the meat was not as tender as I expected them to be. Lots of people ordered the beef ramen though. The noodle was good but the broth can be less oily. Personally I would like it to be hotter, both in chilli and temperature. Small place, very crowded but people come in and go. Green tea is not free - per person charge.

Great tonkotsu ramen here. The broth is thick and rich and creamy and not too salty. Noodles are perfectly cooked. Nice atmosphere as well. Friendly staff that are very attentive.

Yummo! My friends ordered some Ramen dishes but I ordered a Cha-han (Japanese fried rice) and Chicken Karage on the side. Was a little annoyed as the menu for the Japanese fried rice didn't state it had any sort of meat anywhere in the description or the title but it already had chicken in it!! Nevertheless, the fried rice was absolutely divine, was NOT drenched in thick oil like your usual local Chinese restaurant but this was delicate in flavours, just enough for the palette to register the exotic taste. The rice & vegies were thoroughly cooked through, soft and pleasant to eat! Chicken karate was average with a salivating crisp to the outer layer, lightly drizzled with marinade. The seating area inside is quite tight though doable in bringing a small group of friends. Will definitely return just for this dish :)
