I believe most of Sydneysiders would already been to or heard of Ichibanboshi ramen shop. They started in Bondi Junction many years ago, and it's been locals favorites since. The old store still exist, and in last couple of year, they opened another on in Bondi junction near the Westfield. They do have shops in other locations, such as Gallery Victoria building next to Kinokuniya book store. (if you not sure where that is, please check more details at the end of post)

They menu is on the wall with pictures, you need to order first before grabbing your table. There will be table service, but waitress does not take orders though.

I love Japanese pickle vegetables. We've orderred a mix bowl with Japanese kimchi (relatively mild, not as strong flavored as Korean Kimchi), Japanese plum, cucumber, radish (my favorite! crunchy, slightly sweet and extremely appetising), and ginger.

Side salad with iceberg lettuce and Japanese mayonnaise

Chashu Rice - my first time order it, usually I just order Ramen and other set dishes.

This rice dish looks so simple yet taste so perfect. There are just enough amount of flavorsome & creamy chashu to cover all the rice. Hats off to the chef, need to say no more about their technique on cooking Japanese rice. For a not so much rice eater, I can easily wolf down 2 bowls of this. Yummy!

Gyoza - I believe is made of poke mince, please just double check with the waitress if you have certain restrictions in your diet.

The Japanese soy sauce mixed with vinegar is the best combination to serve crispy pan fried gyoza.

Karaage set (pork or chicken) - comes with miso soup, deep fried chicken with side salad, and one serving of rice.

You can also order karaage chicken as side dish of your ramen for only $3.

A good karaage chicken should never leave you feeling greasy, it's marinated with ginger, soy sauce, sake (maybe), katakuriko (potato starch). The right amount to potato starch will give you that crispy but lean finish. The dish is then served with light vinegar sauce or lemon juice with some shallots. Need to say no more, please order it and enjoy next time you are there.

My beloved long time lover - Geki Kara Ramen (Spicy hot ramen with pork soup)

It's filled with Japanese chashu, sweet corn, bean sprouts, bamboo shoot, shallots and most importantly chilli oil with sesame seeds. If you can eat spicy food, this is for you!
