Menu Highlights
Yasaka Signature – A$30.80
Chewy ramen noodles are topped with kakuni, pork chashu, egg, nori, bamboo shoots, and shallots. The combination of multiple pork preparations and rich broth makes it the restaurant’s flagship bowl.
Grilled Kakuni Ramen – A$28.60
Pressure-cooked pork cartilage is grilled for extra aroma before being added to rich tonkotsu ramen. Tender meat, smoky edges, and savoury shoyu seasoning give this bowl a distinctive depth.
Spicy Ramen – A$23.10
Pork chashu, egg, nori, bamboo shoots, and noodles sit in tonkotsu broth finished with house-made spicy sauce. Creamy richness and warming chilli heat make it one of the current top sellers.
Vegetarian Miso Tantan Men – A$24.20
Soy meat mince, broccoli, corn, red onion, and crisp lotus root chips accompany a creamy soy-milk, miso, and sesame broth. Nutty umami and varied textures make it one of the menu’s strongest meat-free options.
Miso Ramen – A$22.00
Fresh noodles and tender pork chashu are paired with sweet corn, nori, bamboo shoots, and a four-miso blend. Its layered, savoury broth delivers a deep yet balanced Japanese comfort-food flavour.
Crispy Chicken Katsu Curry – A$22.00
Golden chicken katsu is served over steamed rice with smooth Japanese curry and pickled vegetables. The contrast between crunchy chicken and mellow, savoury curry makes it another current bestseller.
Karaage – A$15.40 for 5 Pieces
Marinated chicken is double-fried until exceptionally crisp outside while staying juicy within. Its bold seasoning and crunchy texture make it an easy side dish for sharing alongside ramen.
