Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen

Basement tonkotsu ramen specialist on Russell St, known for rich broth and handmade mochi.

No-frills basement ramen bar with close-packed tables and plain, dated fit-out; some nights feel lively and buzzing, others quiet and purely functional. the broth is the drawcard, not the décor.

Fully customisable broth strength, noodle hardness and spice level per bowl; gyoza and mochi made fresh in-house; imported Japanese beers and Sapporo draft on tap.

Marketed on Fukuoka-style tonkotsu heritage and drawing genuine praise for its broth, though a few Japanese-fluent reviewers rate it as solid rather than exceptional next to ramen in Japan.

Rich broth wins loyal fans, but $4 egg add-ons, $3.50 bamboo shoots, a weekend surcharge and portions some call small mean opinions split hard on whether the roughly $30-plus spend is worth it.
