Book NowAbout RAMEN Ippudo Circular Quay
Perched above Circular Quay, this retreat pairs steaming bowls of tonkotsu ramen with sweeping views of the bustling ferry docks. Quick escape from the waterfront crowds—calm dining room, polite service, and window seats that frame the harbor. Bowls arrive customized to order, letting you specify noodle firmness for that exact chew alongside rich, spicy Karaka Men or umami-packed bonito broths. Diners lean into the izakaya-leaning side of the menu too, pairing pork buns, crisp takoyaki, and cucumber starters with lychee mojitos or happy-hour beers. An extra round of kaedama keeps the broth working right down to the final spoonful.
- Elevated Harbour Views: Window seats frame views of Circular Quay and the active ferry docks.
- Custom Noodle Firmness: Broths are served with guest-selected noodle firmness to match preferred bite.
