About RaRa

Steps from Redfern station, RaRa draws crowds for rich bowls anchored by fresh Hakata noodles made in-house daily. Diners lean hard into the Tonkotsu Black Garlic, ladled with aromatic charred garlic oil and tender torched chashu. Plant-based regulars head straight for the creamy vegan miso and vegan soy shio, matching the animal-based broths in depth and richness. For a saucier departure, dry bowls of pork mazesoba and truffle karaage mazesoba pair cleanly with a chilled yuzu highball.

Why Diners Choose RaRa

Discover why ramen enthusiasts and locals make RaRa their destination for housemade noodles, rich tonkotsu, and brothless mazesoba.

  • Rich, Deeply Savoury Broths

    Tonkotsu and black garlic broths are slow-simmered to rich, concentrated depths and paired with springy, freshly made noodles.

    The noodles had the perfect texture, and the broth was rich, creamy, and full of flavour without feeling too heavy.

  • Equally Satisfying Vegan Ramen Options

    Plant-based diners can enjoy creamy, full-bodied broths like vegan soy shio and vegan miso crafted with rich depth.

    The vegan ramen was really good — rich, creamy, and nutty, with a well-balanced mix of ingredients that worked beautifully together.

  • Saucy, Indulgent Brothless Mazesoba

    Thick noodles served dry with rich sauces, torched toppings, and karaage offer an indulgent alternative to classic soup bowls.

    The truffle karaage mazesoba was creamy, rich and satisfyingly savoury.

  • Authentic Izakaya-Inspired Energy

    Guests enjoy vibrant izakaya energy, upbeat music, and attentive service that elevate casual dining.

    The atmosphere felt authentic, and I genuinely felt like I was in a Japanese izakaya. It has a great vibe and adds to the overall experience.

Signature noodle bowls and brothless specialties crafted with housemade noodles

  • Tonkotsu Black Garlic

    Today I ordered the Tonkotsu Black Garlic. The tonkotsu broth was rich and creamy, with hints of marrow and well rendered fat from long simmering. It felt deeply satisfying and indulgent. The chashu was tender and smoky from torching. The Hakata noodles were cooked just right, still springy and coated beautifully with the soup.

  • Pork Mazesoba

    The pork mazesoba is to die for, all the ramens are rich in flavour and have a delicious broth, and the beers are always incredibly cold.

  • Truffle Karaage Mazesoba

    The truffle karaage mazesoba was creamy, rich and satisfyingly savoury.

  • Vegan Miso Ramen

    I would highly recommend their miso vegan ramen, since it’s the best vegan ramen I’ve had in Sydney so far!
