Visited two new ramen place this week and coincidentally both turned into licensed bars after 5pm. Ramen Shinzu only opens for lunch Mon to Wed from 11am to 2pm. You only have one option on the menu, I.e their Tonkotsu Ramen. This place is managed by a Team-of-One, hence a slightly longer wait for the food. I can assured you, it’s worth the wait. Service is amazing, you get greeted by the cook while he is cooking and later serving you in between clearing the table. As for the ramen, you get a medium rich broth that you know that has been stewing for hours and days. The ramen is served with a juicy slice of chasu that is flame torched in front of you. All this for a princely sum of $12. Amazing value !! If you work or live around the Crows Nest area, this is a must try restaurant that you cannot missed. I planned to back here for lunch once a week :)

Arrived from interstate late with son,looking for somewhere to eat,good vibe,beautiful food and played some cards!Great service!

すごい?! I never expected to find an authentic Japanese standing bar in Crows Nest, but that's literally what Tachimomi is with one exception: being in Australia there are chairs for people to sit down instead of stand. Serving light Japanese bar food with happy hour draft beer and good saké menu. 乾杯!

Cosy little Japanese bar with great vibes. Food was surprisingly ok considering most of it was not freshly cooked. Katsu curry was definitely the highlight. Pork belly was tasty but not really worth $11. Salt kogi chicken very salty and a little bland. I'd come back for a drink and ramen (only after 9pm)

Super tiny, authentic local Japanese stand-up bar in Crow's Nest. Come here for Japanese tap beers, whiskey and cool range of bento boxes and snacks. The pork belly and salt Koji chicken are awesome!

Absolutely delicious Japanese food set in a true izakaya atmosphere. As it’s owned by the same group who looks after Nakano Darling and Yakitori Yurippi, you know the food is high quality and delicious! Highly recommend the tonkatsu curry - absolutely scrumptious. The most lovely gal was working (both serving and making the food) and was so accommodating. They even sell some Japanese homeware, handmade earrings, etc. (bring cash for this). A beautiful way to spend an evening (or Sunday lunch) if you want some yummy Japanese food! 😍 Everyone should know about this wonderful spot 💕

I work in Tokyo and this place is just like so many Izakaya’s in Japan. Staff are very attentive, Oriôn beers are amazing and whilst I haven’t tried the food I’m sure it’s great. They also have real lemon sours, best I’ve found in Aus, if you haven’t tried before definitely give them a go. Also happy hour is a real win!

A great Japanese bar with a large assortment of Japanese alcohol and Japanese snacks. The staff are super friendly and add to the relaxed and fun atmosphere. Also there are a lot of board games to play. A fun place to go and have drinks on the weekend. Highly recommended.
