best I've had yet, but... - Edit
Had the Kyoto ramen, the broth was amazing got a depth I hadn't tasted before in other vegan ramens. Maybe an acid? Go here if you can spend $30 on a bowl

- no extra noodles allowed
- store manager treated me odd (?), didn't feel welcome

Great whole ingredients - Edit
I ate solo at Towzen and was sat at a community table that was so silent it felt like I'd been transported right to Tokyo, where that kind of experience would be common. Everything about Towzen felt very Japanese, which suggests an authenticity (to the extent that word can be given any weight when talking about food) that was reflected throughout the meal.
Read moreI really enjoyed the lionsmane karaage and the soy milk pudding. The okra was nice enough, too, as a compliment to the larger meal. With the ramen, I loved the ingredients in the Kyoto Soy milk Ramen, especially the presumably homemade yuba which was fantastic. The ramen itself left a little to be desired for me. I've made a lot of homemade soy milk and it tasted, to me, less like a broth and more like heated homemade soy milk. I believe Kyoto ramens are much milder so it might be my selection at fault, and I'd love to go back and try another because again everything was quite fresh, the entire experience was memorably restorative, and the staff was kind and efficient.

Fabulous place to eat, great food that is worth the price. - Edit
What a wonderful place to eat! The ramen was fabulous and really filling and the manager sat and chatted with my whilst I ate, sharing the history of the brand from its routes in Japan.
Read moreI was initially hesitant as I am generally sticking to cheaper restaurants, but I really think I got my money's worth here. I went for the Si Chaun Tan Tan Men which i strongly recommend. I will be going back to try other dishes.
I would have tried the gyoza too but my budget couldn't stretch that far. The ramen was really flavourful and the soy broth gives it a unique flavour. The presentation was very impressive and I almost felt guilty messing it up with my chopsticks.
I'm a big ramen fan and this was among the best I have been served. Definitely one to try if you are in Sydney.
Pros: Great food, Friendly staff, Good portions

Incredible, high quality, beautiful food. - Edit
Gorgeous little restaurant with impeccable food. We shared three ramens between us and every single one was delicious. We also had the lions mane karaage which was out of this world. The staff are absolutely gorgeous, so welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about their food. The meal felt fresh and healthy, with good quality ingredients. If I could rate Towzen higher I would!
Read moreThey’ve recently changed their opening days - in the description it says they’re closed on a Sunday but we went on a Sunday and they said they’ve started opening on Sundays now.

Fantastic authentic Japanese - Edit
Fantastic Japanese restaurant in the heart of Sydney central CBD. The food is incredibly delicious, authentic Japanese. We had two types of ramen, gyoza, rice and wonderful fresh drinks, matcha with strawberry puree and fresh sparkling yuzu. The staff and manager are extremely friendly and attentive. So wonderful to have a Vegan/plant-based Japanese restaurant in Sydney.

Perfect - Edit
I love how there are like 6 ramen options, and they all seem to be fully original creations from the ground up.
Read moreI got the basic tan tan ramen because I wanted a safe option to compare other ramens I have had to, and it was perfect 10/10.
If I went back I would go for something bolder like the green curry ramen, because I trust it to be good
Pros: Everything was amazing

Fabulous ramen - Edit
I booked a trip to Sydney when I saw this place had opened as we don’t have fully vegan ramen in Melbourne. We arrived early as they don’t take bookings Thurs to Sun. Got a seat easily although it was filling up when we left just before 6. I ordered the Si Chuan Tan Tan Men.
Read moreIt was the perfect sized serving and I enjoyed the sesame, and peanut flavouring in oat milk. The vegetables included were great and the mildly spicy suited me. I also ordered Okra With House-Made Olive Oil Based Yuzu Mayo which was really nice.
My partner ordered the green curry ramen which he enjoyed. I ordered the sparkling strawberry and matcha as a drink. Very refreshing.
Worth the trip to Sydney.
Pros: Fully vegan, The flavours of the ramen

Outstanding vegan ramen 🍜 - Edit
Absolutely delicious vegan Japanese, could not fault anything. When we arrived the line was very long and we ended up having to wait around an hour and a half (arrived at 6:40pm on a Thursday), luckily we weren’t in any rush and it was absolutely worth the wait. In our group of four we had the tantanmen, truffle and mushroom ramen and the karaage lion’s mane set, as well as okra, gyoza, green tea and black sesame lattes. The tantanmen and truffle ramens were standouts but everything was incredible, would love to return.

Very tasty ramen - Edit
Nice ambience. Very tasty food. Recommend the Si Chuan Tan Tan Men. My friend had the Hemp Charcoal Soy Mylk Ramen which was recommended by the waiter. I preferred mine - whereas the Charcoal one was nice, but a bit too rich. Yaki Gyoza were nice too.
Read morePros: All vegan menu, Nice ambience, Friendly waiter
Cons: Large tables, so may have to share, Slightly pricy, but worth it

Awesome New Option in the CBD - Edit
This restaurant is located in a gorgeous heritage listed building in the CBD. The interior is beautifully decorated and has a lovely, relaxed vibe.
Read moreThey offer a fully vegan menu, which is very difficult to choose from! I ended up trying the hemp charcoal soy milk ramen, which was so rich, and tasted incredible. My partner got the truffle ramen which was honestly out of this world. They also have a range of house-made drinks to try.
I absolutely loved it here, and I'm very excited to return to try some of the other dishes. It's on the pricier side, but the meal was very fulfilling, and you can tell that everything is prepared with love.
We also had a lovely chat with the owner after our meal. I highly recommend it!

Brilliant vegan Ramen in the heart of the CBD - Edit
Attentive and warm service from the staff, beautiful venue and food - every element has definitely had so much time, care and attention to detail put into it. The Lion’s Mane in the Karaage set was divine, Thai Green Curry was so flavourful and the eggplant in that was the softest I’ve had! The sparkling iced Matcha was so refreshing, too. Absolutely reasonably priced for the quality and level of service. Will come back here, for sure!

Nicer option in the city - Edit
3.5* for me. Had a good time with tasty ramen. The ramen broths were deep and layered. Why 3.5 stars? Well, I’m value focused. So while the food was lovely, I personally prefer other places. If you don’t mind paying more for fancier food (and only moderate portions) this is a nice spot. Glad this exists for higher paying folks but I can’t justify making this a common place to visit, personally. Hope they do well!

Transported to Kyoto! - Edit
Having been to Towzen in Kyoto, I was beyond delighted to see a location opening in Sydney! The setting is gorgeous, the service is fantastic, and the food is phenomenal. We got the TanTan ramen and the karaage which were both delicious - warming, filling, and good portions. It's worth stopping by if you're in the city and looking for vegan eats but even more worth the trip in! 🍜
