Ground Floor/4 Riverside Quay, Southbank VIC 3006
Hopscotch Melbourne
The ramen at Hopscotch in Southbank appears to be a particular point of disappointment, with one reviewer noting the chicken ramen was where their opinion of the restaurant “took a dive.” The buns were described as being 70% soaked through and the burger almost room temperature, suggesting a potential issue with food preparation or service speed. This relaxed eatery seems best suited for those seeking lively atmosphere and music alongside casual dining, rather than a meticulously crafted ramen experience.
