GOGYO Fitzroy

Gogyo’s ramen is a standout, particularly praised for its rich, fatty broth and perfectly thin, flat noodles that offer a satisfying chew – many diners describe it as exceptionally flavourful, especially with the addition of cabbage to balance the richness. However, a significant portion of reviewers flagged concerns about excessive saltiness and an overpowering MSG flavour, suggesting the broth might not be authentically crafted from real stock. This ramen experience seems best suited for adventurous food lovers seeking Japanese-inspired flavours and a lively atmosphere, perhaps alongside friends or a partner, who appreciate bold umami notes.
