AI Summary

Carlton's Lygon Street tonkotsu specialist, built around a 24-hour pork broth and a fiery God Fire ramen for heat-seekers.

A bustling, casual counter-service ramen bar with QR ordering. quick and functional rather than intimate, with J-pop playing and a steady lunch and dinner crowd.

A 24-hour simmered pork broth, a spice-level system topped by the God Fire bowl, in-house-made noodles and gyoza, and a dedicated kids' menu with colouring kits.

Reviewers consistently describe the broth and overall execution as genuinely close to ramen had in Japan, citing the 24-hour pork broth and in-house noodles specifically.

Mixed. many reviewers call the broth and portions solid value, while others flag rising prices, reduced toppings, and extra charges for broth top-ups or egg as poor value.
