Taro’s Ramen

South Brisbane

Updated: Sep 23, 2025

Taro’s Ramen located down Melbourne Street in South Brisbane, is changing up the way we do ramen – with big bowls of MSG-free broth that’s customised to suit your taste.

Entrance to Taro’s Ramen Restaurant

The corner restaurant is filled with booth seating, bar seating and dining tables – suitable for large groups of ramen lovers, or intimate dinner dates for two. Its Japanese influence is evident throughout the venue, with Japanese font on decorative wall hangings and bamboo furniture.

Food is ordered from your table with an iPad, where you can select your choice of ramen from 10 different types. Their most popular order being the Tonkotsu Ramen, which is a creamy pork bone broth with thin straight noodles, topped with charsiu, egg, shallots, seaweed and garlic oil. You can customise any of these ramen dishes to suit your exact tastes and preferences. Whether that be less noodles, more salt, extra chilli, extra seaweed – if you want it you can get it, making your bowl of ramen just that – yours.
