If you’re looking for a ramen outing that feels like a quick flight to Tokyo’s golden-age noodle houses, Ramen Auru is your ticket. Nestled on the second floor of a three-storey Japanese-food complex at 6-8 Falcon Street in Crows Nest, this spot nails the full experience: tatami seating, a vintage ticket-machine ordering system, and bowls of ramen leaning into both tradition and craft.
The menu centres on three signature bowls. There’s the rich, hearty tonkotsu — deep pork-bone flavour, silky broth, chashu, bamboo shoots and an ajitama egg. The yuzu-shio version offers something lighter: a clear, citrus-bright broth paired with chicken chashu and thinner noodles — a good alternative when you want something less full-on. Then there’s the prawn bisque ramen: shell-stock depth, sweet prawn flavour and chilli oil, for anyone who’s done the usual pork route.
