About Manpuku Kingsford

This Anzac Parade ramen counter serves deep, slow-simmered broths with plenty of snap in the noodles. Regulars head straight for the Gyokai Black—a rich tonkotsu fortified with smoky kogashi black garlic oil, tender chashu, and a marinated egg. Those wanting a clean break from heavy pork bases order the Shio Coriander chicken broth, finished with spicy yuzu paste dabbed directly on the rim. Crispy octopus takoyaki and a quick stop at the self-serve condiments bar round out the order.

  • Gyokai Black 'Kogashi': Pork bone broth laced with charred garlic oil, served over chewy noodles with braised chashu and seasoned nitamago.
  • Shio Coriander Broth: A refreshing chicken broth infused with citrus and fresh coriander, served with spicy yuzu paste on the rim.
  • Self-Serve Condiments Bar: A dedicated counter station stocked with toppings and seasonings for custom-tailoring each bowl.

  • Charred Black Garlic 'Kogashi' Broth

    The specialty Gyokai Black ramen combines creamy tonkotsu pork broth with burnt garlic oil for aromatic depth without heaviness.

    The Gyokai Black ramen with charred garlic oil is absolutely delicious, rich and complex without being heavy.

  • Refreshing Shio Coriander with Yuzu Paste

    For diners seeking a lighter alternative to pork broth, the salt-based chicken ramen features citrus yuzu paste on the bowl rim and fresh coriander.

    And that yuzu-flavoured spicy paste on the rim of the Shio Coriander bowl—omg, absolutely heavenly.

  • Convenient Refueling Steps from UNSW

    Located right along Anzac Parade near the UNSW campus, it provides students and locals a quick, convenient refueling stop after study sessions.

    So close to UNSW so it's so convenient to come after a class.

  • Basil Ramen

    The broth was not too salty(unlike many ramen spots). The Kale was deep fried and tasted like chips. Overall. Would reccommend.

  • Karaage Chicken

    The Japanese-style fried chicken was marinated well with savory soy-based flavors. The coating was crisp, and the inside was juicy. Paired with Japanese mayo, it was a delicious side dish to complement the ramen.

  • Ika Skewer

    Surprisingly good! The squid was bouncy and tender, and a touch of lemon juice brought a refreshing zing. It was a great appetizer or something to enjoy alongside drinks.
