Taro's Ramen

Taro's Ramen in Stones Corner is one of Brisbane's best ramen bars, serving big bowls of slurp-worthy tonkotsu soup. 

The spacious interior features exposed brick walls, polished floorboards and ambient lighting with banquette seating and timber tables filling the ramen restaurant. 

The mouth-watering menu includes traditional tonkotsu (pork bone broth with house made noodles, slices of Bangalow pork, organic egg and shallots), as well as delicious vegan ramen - plant-based broth with home made wheat and konnyaku noodles, topped with braised tofu, bamboo, sprouts, shallots, sesame seeds and nori.  

If you like it hot, try the highly recommended Red Tonkotsu with house made chilli oil, or Fire Tonkotsu with 4 different hits of chilli - chilli oil, chilli flakes, extra spicy chilli oil, and shredded chilli.

In addition, there's a range of sides on offer like kimchi, edamame, gyoza, chicken karaage and charsiu rice with chilli and takana.  

Need to know - Taro's recommends that customers dine-in as ramen should be enjoyed straight away for the best tastes. Take-away is available but not encouraged.
