Yakikami
The mountain chase ramen at Yakikami in South Yarra is a standout, with reviewers consistently praising the intensely flavourful broth to such an extent that one diner compared it favourably to ramen experiences in Japan – a truly remarkable achievement. However, several customers noted concerns about price points and portion sizes, particularly when considering the cost relative to the smaller servings offered alongside the premium quality.
