The Best Ramen in Adelaide
Ramen is arguably Adelaide’s favourite corner of Japanese cuisine. We’ve got everything from no-frills chains to high-end diners serving the noodle soup, and we’re still thinking about Justin Healy’s legendary Quality Noods pop-ups at Loc and the Exeter. Ditto for Dunfor. So, whether you like a classic Tokyo-style ramen or something downright inventive, this guide will help you find it.
Restaurant
Ryo’s Noodles
Habit-forming ramen in stylish surrounds.
Restaurant

Restaurant
Contemporary Japanese Deli
Tucked away in Dacosta Arcade, this homey Japanese eatery serves some of Adelaide’s best (and most affordable) Japanese lunches. Ramens, curries, bento boxes and more.
Restaurant
Shosho
This neighbourhood izakaya shares a lot of DNA with its city sibling, Shobosho, but its identity is all its own. There's a clear focus on tempura alongside a line-up of dumplings, wontons and noodles.
Restaurant
Buta Yama
A classic shio tonkotsu ramen is the star of the menu – created in consultation with a world-renowned ramen chef. Or go for a spicy miso ramen inspired by the famous Kikanbo ramen shop in Tokyo.
