ichi-ban boshi

if you all don’t know me by now, i lovejapanesefood! and i would say ichi-ban boshi is the perfect place for a casual dine in!because i love my spicy food— i had ordered spicy ramen, and it was so delicious! definitely ordering it again! the spice was tolerable! i reckon for this who can’t handle spicy can handle this spicy ramen!

i tend to thinkjapanesefood places are either good at noodles or sushi. this place is mecca for ramen etc, their sweet and sour soup is great.

2.5/5
cheapjapaneseeatery in bondi junction. we ordered at the counter before finding our seats inside. the ramen was nice, not the best, but it should do in terms of price. the soy sauce- soup was way too salty, so i just had my ramen and stole some of my partner’s soybean paste soup. i’d consider coming back here for a quick meal, but for ramen, maybe not my first preference.

excellentjapanesefood is served here!
today we ordered the udon set which includes an udon and a chicken katsu don(pork is also an option) & a salmon don. both dishes were absolutely fantastic.
highly recommend ichi-ban boshi

yummo!
my friends ordered some ramen dishes but i ordered a cha-han (japanese fried rice) and chicken karage on the side.
was a little annoyed as the menu for thejapanesefried rice didn't state it had any sort of meat anywhere in the description or the title but it already had chicken in it!!
nevertheless, the fried rice was absolutely divine, was not drenched in thick oil like your usual local chinese restaurant but this was delicate in flavours, just enough for the palette to register the exotic taste. the rice & vegies were thoroughly cooked through, soft and pleasant to eat!

chicken karate was average with a salivating crisp to the outer layer, lightly drizzled with marinade.

the seating area inside is quite tight though doable in bringing a small group of friends. will definitely return just for this dish :)

i don't know why, but i knew about this place first from the original branch in cbd but never got to try it because of the long queue. instead, somehow ended up trying this place after a client in bondi by chance. was welcomed in warmly by the staff and given suggestions from the menu. 

ordered the chicken katsu don ($10.5)  and really liked the dish in general, with the sauce they added to the rice which was just the right balance. the takoyaki dish of 8 balls ($5), although a little pricey were also delicious, and i remember being incredibly full from the servings after. 

definitely a good place to try for some quick and relatively cheapjapanesefood in bondi! :)

we love this place -- no frills, clean, efficient and everything is very fresh. i have a weakness for the super-dooper-salty wonton-men soup and my partner's fave is the off-menu prawn nyu-men (spelling?) soup but we also love the tokyo ramen, the tempura udon and the agedashi tofu.  pour yourself a glass of icy-cold water and listen to all the politejapaneseshouting as the front staff communicate with the kitchen -- i do love their floating tankuverymaaaaaaaaach farewell as you leave...

great food, especially tantan tsukamen. the food never dissapoints. the service could be more welcoming. one of the bestjapanesein the area
