Melbourne has a strong ramen scene, with bowls ranging from rich tonkotsu and chicken-based broths to craft ramen, spicy miso, casual city noodles, and Japanese comfort food served in small CBD dining rooms. The best ramen in Melbourne is not only about the broth. It is about noodles, tare, aroma oil, toppings, egg, chashu, texture, speed, warmth, and the feeling of sitting down to a bowl that makes the city feel quieter for a few minutes.
This guide brings together some of the best ramen restaurants in Melbourne, with a focus on CBD ramen bars and Japanese eateries that make a quick bowl feel like a proper meal. Whether you want Hakata-style ramen, tonkotsu, chicken ramen, craft ramen, spicy miso, casual lunch bowls, or a late city dinner with noodles and sides, these restaurants show why ramen remains one of Melbourne’s most comforting Japanese food experiences.
Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen
Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen is a basement ramen restaurant on Russell Street, bringing Fukuoka-style ramen to the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. It has the feel of a focused Japanese noodle shop: compact, warm, and built around the pleasure of choosing a bowl, customising it, and settling into a rich, satisfying meal.
The restaurant is known for tonkotsu-style ramen, with pork-based broth, noodles, chashu, egg, gyoza, and other Japanese sides forming the core of the experience. Fukuoka ramen is often associated with depth, richness, and a strong noodle culture, and Ikkoryu gives Melbourne diners a central place to enjoy that style without needing a formal restaurant setting.
Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen is best for tonkotsu lovers, quick CBD dinners, casual date nights, solo ramen meals, and anyone looking for a warming bowl near Russell Street. It opens this guide because it represents the classic ramen-shop experience: focused, comforting, and built around broth, noodles, and rhythm.
Address: Basement, 27 Russell Street, Melbourne 3000

Hakata Gensuke QV
Hakata Gensuke QV is one of Melbourne’s best-known ramen destinations, located inside the QV precinct near Swanston Street and Lonsdale Street. The Hakata Gensuke name has become closely associated with serious ramen in Melbourne, and the QV location gives diners a central option for a fast, focused, and deeply comforting bowl.
The QV store specialises in chicken and fish dashi broth ramen, offering a different experience from the richer pork-broth ramen many people associate with Hakata-style shops. That makes it especially useful for diners who want ramen with depth, but a slightly lighter or more delicate profile. Noodles, broth, toppings, egg, chashu-style additions, and side dishes all work together to create a complete ramen meal.
Hakata Gensuke QV is best for CBD lunches, quick dinners, ramen fans, students, shoppers, and anyone looking for a polished ramen bar in the middle of the city. It belongs in this guide because Hakata Gensuke has played a major role in shaping Melbourne’s ramen culture.
Address: QV Melbourne, corner Swanston Street & Lonsdale Street, Melbourne 3000

Sara Craft Ramen suits diners who want a bowl that feels considered, with enough personality to make the meal feel like more than a quick lunch. It also works well for dinner, especially when paired with drinks or sides.
