Misoya Sake Bar
Deliciously authentic and consistent, the ramen features impressive flavours and excellent vegan options. Some diners found the broth a little too light, and others noted that adding spicy oil incurs an extra charge.

“Simple cooking with great flavours. Good vegan options. Formal seating plus some high communal benches. Room out the back yard as well. Quite a small place so book on the busy nights. Staff are great. Ramen is a very good choice and there are some different things to try on the menu. A good place to visit, and you will come back too.”
