Ramenous

We came here for an occasion and had booked a table, which was just as well because the restaurant was packed. The atmosphere was just as you’d expect, with plenty of neon, and the space also had a lot of manga imagery. We decided to construct our own ramen bowls, and chose one with a tantan broth and one with a creamy mushroom broth. The tantan was less creamy than I expected, but still delicious with the wontons and greens I added. The mushroom broth was divine and the added corn and greens made it extra delicious. As for our drinks, the lychee martini was a bit ‘perfumey’ and not very pleasant, whereas the Nuclear Fizzion - Midori, mango, etc - was sweet but pleasantly fruity. Dessert turned into a bit of a comedy routine when I ordered theI Heart Neon, described as one of each flavour of ice cream. We were already pushing it, and I expected four scoops, but a few minutes later we were presented with a platter with around five scoops each of vanilla and chocolate ice cream, eight sticky donuts, and a pile of Oreo crumbs. I was determined we’d get through it, and we did, albeit after removing the donuts and wrapping them up to take home. Prices were quite reasonable, staff were very accommodating and I’d come back again for a social dinner.

Pros: Delicious ramen, Reasonable prices, Accommodating staff

INCREDIBLE

Such a fun place! I love all the decor and the cat-themed bowls. I got a 'make your own' ramen. It was a huge bowl and there were lots of toppings to choose from. Absolutely delicious.

WHAT A NIGHT!

I had such a blast at Neon Ramen, it's my new Brissy fav. The artwork and ambience is BRILLIANT, just love it, the food is varied and delicious and super generous (I had to get takeaway), the music was so fun, and the service was delightful. I cannot say enough nice things about this place. Doesn't hurt that I have tattoos by one of the artists who created some of the stunning wall art! Can't wait to come back next time I'm visiting the Sunshine State, thank you thank you thank you 🙏

Pros: Food (delicious and varied), Decor / Ambience

Big serves best “chicken “ burger

I had the Katsu burger and fries and a salted caramel thick shake …and wow!!! The best burger and fries for a long time! The vegan chicken was so tender and fried like a fried chicken burger with katsu sauce on the side. A little pickle/coleslaw on the burger and so juicy and tender. Really enjoyed it. Next time I might get ramen lol I saw people at the next table and was so surprised at the massive portion. Everything looked so good.

Pros: All vegan , Huge portions , Good value

Cons: The chairs., Glare from outside was a bit intense

Tasty but please halve the servings!

I made a reservation for dinner. It was a Friday night and they were very busy so we need to wait. It wasn’t too bad waiting time. We ordered using the QR code. I ordered sesame ramen with tofu as my protein and some extra toppings. I also ordered a strawberry thick shake and some eggplant crisps. My partner ordered the stir fry with Japanese curry sauce and rice.

When we saw the stir fry come out, it looked like food enough for 3 nights for 2 people. My partner enjoyed it but there was no way he could eat it all. They do provide take away containers but as we are in a hotel we couldn’t do this.

It took a while for the rest of items to come out. The strawberry thick shake was thick and it was delicious.

The eggplant crisps were light and tasty. There were so many though as to be a side!

My ramen came out and it was nice with the salt and pepper tofu and the broth. The bowl was super cute. It was a large serving but manageable.

Staff were lovely and the restaurant is cute.

But the serves are just so large.

😹 I think the ramen is manageable! But the stir fry was a whole new level.
Note impossible is a protein option. They have about 6 other options though. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

SO GOOD!

Boa buns are 10/10, I have tried all and could not choose a favourite.

The servings are huge and the best quality, you can get a stir fry and eat it for the next week, so bring containers!!

100% recommend going here, I’m obsessed

Pros: Boa buns , Pink ramen , Stir fry

Incredible!

Cute little anime-themed Japanese restaurant. Fully vegan, HUGE portions, decently priced, and superb quality. Shout out to the amazing staff who gave us one of our meals for free as it was delayed due to circumstances out of their control. Very much up there with one of my fave vegan restaurants in Brisbane!

OUTSTANDING OUTSTANDING

OMG the food and the service is OUTSTANDING. My partner is vegan and I'm not, and I love it just as much as he does. The food has so much flavour, and you wouldn't know you were eating vegan. All I can say is WOW, it's AMAZING. Highly recommend.

Pros: Service, Food Taste and Quality, Value for Money

Cons: There are no Cons.

Even non-vegans love it!

We live down the road from Neon Ramen and we love taking our non vegans friends out for dinner there. They are always shocked everything is vegan and delicious!! The ramen soups, stir fry’s , baos, eggplant strips and katsu fries are our fav!! Oh and their iced teas are so yum too!!

Pros: Cheeseburger Baos, Beautiful ambience , Friendly staff

A light miso ramen

I ordered the basic miso base with alternative char siu, "yellow noodles" to replicate egg noodles, extra ginger and nori. This is an excellent bowl of ramen just as it should be. The fake meat looked like it didn't belong but the flavour was good and not too strong, though it did absorb some of the broth and become spongy.

If you've had the real deal in Japan this is a very exceptionally almost close bowl. It's like looking at a photo of a moment, but that photo doesn't seem quite as vibrant as your memory.

Umami!

Out of all the vegan restaurants we were able to try in Brisbane, Neon Ramen would have to be the best one. The anime vibe was cute and the food is full of flavour! Customer service was so friendly and the restaurant was clean. In support of the restaurant, we have purchased their dinnerware and they were happy to ship it to Sydney.

Pros: Cute anime vibe, Customer service was A+++, Affordable menu

2 for 1

The food there is sooo good 😍 went there twice now and it was delicious! The portions are really big so bring containers to take the rest with you - but such a big meal for 22AUD (and you can eat the rest the next day) is just amazing. The ice cream is also really good!

Pros: Price for what you get, Taste, Environment

Great vegan ramen

I was pretty impressed to find a vegan ramen place in town, and a delicious one too. The decor might not be to everyone's taste but it does make it seem to me that the shop is a labour of love. I went shortly after opening and sat at a window seat since I was alone, and had no issues ordering/paying via the QR. It should be noted that any toppings are extra on top of the base ramen so it does end up a little pricier than some other places (mine came to $25 with about 4 toppings) but the portion size is quite decent and you won't leave hungry. All in all, a tasty meal and I would definitely recommend it (even better that VeganYumm is right next door so I got to check out both together).

Pros: Tasty ramen, Quick service, Lots of topping options

No thank you

My review is strictly based on the atmosphere of this place as we left before ordering. After being told to sit where we want, we were told we could not sit in the only table that offered normal seats. All other chairs were tall stools that were not ideal. Despite it also being 1130am, the music sounded like we were in a night club. It was so loud that you could feel it pound throughout your body. The seating area is so small that there is no where to not have a speaker right above you. I could not even hear the other person that I was with properly.
We considered getting food to take away, however the QR code required to order from did not work.
I doubt I will return again as there are plenty of other options in Brisbane for food.

Favourite local restaurant

I was so excited to hear that an all vegan ramen restaurant was opening near me and Neon Ramen hasn’t disappointed. I’ve been here about 5 or 6 times and the food is always fresh, flavourful, and in a huge portion. The staff are lovely and always provide a great service. I’ve tried both the ramen and stir fry and I have to say that the stir fry is my favourite by far. I would highly recommend the Japanese Curry sauce and their Yam Doughnuts! The house sodas are incredible, particularly the watermelon and lychee. I can’t rave about this place enough, all my non-vegan family and friends are big fans too! Also very handy to stop by Veganyumm after!

Pros: Big serving sizes, Aesthetic and vibe, Strong flavours

Cons: Not a big restaurant so can be busy

Funky Ramen Place

I had two hours to get off the plane, take my mum somewhere to eat and get back on the plane again. What an awesome place we chose. The ramen was so delicious and for a big eater, I couldn't finish it. Nice funky venue, lovely staff, cool decor. I will totally be back.

The team at Neon Ramen are very friendly & welcoming. We have been several times as a family & even booked out the space for a private function. Food is amazing, staff very helpful & the space is lots of fun.
