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.
