Ryo's Noodles ,Crows Nest.


Just north of Sydney, right after the bridge lies this little ramen shop situated in almost the middle of nowhere. Despite it being a Tuesday night me and Nat got there at about 7pm, we still had to line up for about 5minutes wasn't too bad but i was surprised by how small this place was. It was barely big enough to fit about 25 people and it's quite impossible to avoid sharing a table, I personally don't mind but if your someone who does, be warned.
Then menu was quite small which i like by the way. It gives me less to choose from and less umming and ahhing about what I want to eat.
Nat got the Salt flavored pork soup with roast pork, shallots and sesame. Soup was quite thin but i found it a little bit too salty for me but Nat did prefer this over my bolonaise.
Gyoza, which is Nat's fav. This was nothing spectacular something average in taste but great in value!
And i got the Miso Bolognaise and a last minute decision on the Pork rice ball (pictured at the top). The pork rice ball was surprisingly great! So simple and plentiful on the seaweed which i just drool over and the rice had just the right amount of mush to hold itself together, but it was a little bit too big to take a bite in one go.
The Bolognaise was very filling, probably because of the rice ball before hand but nonetheless i struggled. Despite being called 'bolognaise' there was no sense of tomato bolognaise sauce in here. They're Japanese so i didn't expect it. By the time i got to the noodles, they had partly absorbed alot of water and almost clumped up, I quickly tossed it up mixing all the mince and shallots together evenly and it was great! Near the end of it i noticed a tiny bit of spice in it but it was bearable so it was ok.

Nice simple foods for a great prices. Not the best in the world but it has got me wondering when my next visit will be.
