ramen do らーめん道

it was my first time trying ramen and honestly !! it was satisfying and so yummy! friendly services, fair prices & hot food! fresh too, will be coming back 🤪💖

best ramen in auckland, the subtle extras they do like really boiling their broth for over 12 hrs(many commercial joints now use msg premix), marinating theirs eggs in a sweet soy ginger sauce, bbq the braised meat, smoking their mince and stir frying their sprouts for the wok taste gives a perfect harmony and burst of umami to the mouth. we did the rounds tasting the majority of ramen shops and conjure that ramen do is still the best!

best ramen place in auckland

a nice and cozy place and friendly staff. the noodles and meat portion were generous. gyoza is bigger than usual. however i find the broth not as rich as i hoped it to be. comparing to the ramen joints around akl, i prefer ajisen richer broth. but that's a personal preference. otherwise it is still a very tasty ramen joint and cheap eat.

their gyokai soy ramen is on par with tanpopo's ramen which was better than any ramen i had in japan.

nice

big portion, decent pricing for the taste and portion. taste authentic.

this place has been a favourite of ours for around 5 years or so, beautiful food, always hot and the noodles are prefect. we’ve got a 2 years old that loves coming here now as well.

i came here with my family for lunch on a sunday and we arrived at 12pm, which is when they open. by 12:15pm, it was already packed with people. the service was efficient and friendly too with extremely affordable ramen. 

we got the takoyaki to share and it was pretty good, but i'd like to try other sides next time. it is $6 for 6 takoyaki so i'm not too sure if that's a good deal or not as i don't have japanese often. i got the spicy miso ramen with extra pork belly and bbq pork ($16) and i felt it was a flavourful bowl of ramen and not too fatty. the soup had a nice spice to it, not too spicy so you have to drink a glass of water after eating a mouthful and not too weak so you don't feel any spice. you are given sesame seeds to grind up yourself so you can add a nutty flavour into your ramen, which makes it tastier. the bbq pork was a bit dry for my liking but the pork belly melted in my mouth due to the fattiness. the noodles weren't soft/overcooked either, which definitely makes a good bowl of ramen. the rest of my family also got the miso ramen but they had the large-sized ramen and my brother had the kaedama extra. 

ramen do is definitely an affordable place to grab a delicious bowl of ramen and it's in a convenient location too!

the serving of their ramen is huge. there is a generous amount of ramen noodles and the noodles were cooked perfectly. i ordered the miso ramen and it came with the sesame seeds for you to grind and put it into your bowl of noodles. really love the ground sesame seeds and the egg with runny yolk.

ohhh ramen, i can’t get enough of this one. it’s one of the best comfort meals ever made. in my whole existence i had tried many ramens already even the ones in tokyo, osaka and kyoto. the real japanese ones was so good, they really take their broth so seriously but out of japan its quite a hit and miss for me but not in new zealand. most of the ones i tried here are comparable to the ones in japan, i even made a list on where to get the best ones and one of those was our restaurant for today ramen do.

love this little ramen gem. very low key interior nothing fancy. but good honest ramen served up quickly and delish every time. hangover cure 💯

really nice miso pork ramen with great textured noodles! great portions! definitely opt for the extra meat. is worth the additional $2. great on a cold winter day. just the right amount of salt but i can see that some may find the broth a little salty. would love to try the other ramen bowls. not sure where to start!

not bad! very generous portions. nothing that stood out particularly for me, but a satisfying bowl of ramen that’s perfect for a cold day. best part is the soup base - the miso is very prominent and hits you like a truck, in a great way.

the ramen here is very nice possibly the best ramen i’ve had in auckland. the noodles are very nice they have a nice bite to them and are very good consistency. the staff were also very nice and very vigilant.
