Vending Machine Ramen At Ramen Auru, Crows Nest
Reviews
The main highlight for me was the broth . It was rich, full of flavour, and super satisfying from the first sip to the last. The noodles had a great texture too—not too soft and not too firm—and they held up well as I worked my way through the bowl . The toppings added a nice mix of flavours and textures without overpowering the ramen itself (as most ramen).
Even though it got a bit busy later on, service was still pretty quick . The space itself was clean and comfortable , making it a nice spot to unwind and enjoy a meal together.
Overall, Auru Ramen was an easy, enjoyable experience, and I’d definitely come back with friends the next time I’m craving a hearty, flavour-packed bowl of ramen ✨
Cost: $$ | Aesthetic: 5/5 | Ramen: 4/5
Overall, the food was on the salty side. I prefer it less salty and more umami.
I don’t think the payment machine was actually more effective, since it was a bit confusing to order. The tatami mat area was is an interesting touch though, it does feel a little strange for a ramen shop to have an open tatami mat area.
We loved the ticket machine, it was just like Japan (have been 14 times – Shikoku, Kyushu, Hokkaido and Honshu) right down to the cutlery, refresher towels and the bowls.
The tonkotsu ramen was delicious, i had mine with firm noodles, rich broth and half back fat, I would return for the tonkotsu. The prawns bisque was more subtle and my wife loved it, it isn’t as strong as the tonkotsu.
The topping plate was great to share between two, but would be a lot for just one person.
Can’t wait to come back.
Ramen is unremarkable and somewhat below average. The tonkatsu broth is incredibly porky and gamey like cheap frozen pork was used. And at $20 it’s poor value for money as we walked away not only hungry but unsatisfied too. Chicken karaage was $10 for three. Again poor value for money for average tasting fried chicken that’s dripping in oil.
Staff were fantastic and service was quick though. Perfect for people who don’t care if they’re eating just pork flavoured noodles.
From there, you pass your ticket stubs onto staff, settle your bill, and choose your seats. Sitting on the low tables gives you Japan vibes but if you are lanky like me and not too flexible, there are regular tables as well as my personal favourite, counter seats.
Go to dishes are the Tonkotsu and Prawn Bisque ramens, stir fried liver + chives, and crowd favourites karaage chicken, and gyoza.
The only downside is all beers are bottled. Thankfully you can head upstairs after your meal to Ichiro’s sports bar and wash your meal down with a draft brewski.
Their ramen is good for the soul, everytime I eat here i feel like I’m being healed spiritually. It’s a tad bit on the fatty side but the flavour is SSS tier.
They open until 11pm during the hot seasons and 12am on the cold seasons (except Sundays) and after 10pm the price of the tonkatsu goes down to $15
Bonus: they have the fancy bidet attachments for their toilets
The vending machine is such a gimmick, you have to get the ticket and pay at the counter instead of paying at the vending machine.
We usually come on early weekday nights and there is usually no queue, or a ten minute wait, max. Service is super efficient and the place has a nice vibe and suitable to catch up with friends.
We’ve come and eaten here many times and will continue to do so.
