For people who become obsession with ramen I’m going to ramen ya, the name it self is self explanatory they serve ramen but they also serve bento box, rice and sides. This is one of those restaurant that is hard to find and it’s hiding in the alley way.

In ramen ya restaurant the order is simple you order in the counter you’ll pay and get a number then you sit down. Nothing like a cold Ramune in a sunny day, Ramune is a carbonated soft drink made in Japan which has a interesting design, a Codd-neck bottles held a marble on the mouth of the bottle. You push the marble inside the neck of the bottle where it rattles around while you drink.

The house special of CharChu Tonkotsu Ramen is surprisingly good when it only cost $10. The rich saltiness of the broth tasted like corn fed chicken soup, it’s full of flavor that you forget its saltiness which I recommended that some beverage afterward. As the broth provides flavor to the slender noodle it accompany by boiled egg, bamboo shoots, spring onion and thin slice of roasted pork.

My friend order the unagi bento, it consist of huge portion of rice, seaweed, pork gyoza with some vegis and grill unagi.

While me and my friends walking down the famous Lygon ST in Carlton we stop by at Toki Japanese restaurant for lunch, where we greeted with warm smile from the waitress. The chef special menu caught my attention especially Toki platter ($15.50) so I decide to give it go. The dish came up with a variety of Japanese salads like cabbage, orange, ginger, seaweed dressing, poached with white cauliflower top it off with a creamy sauce, 4 delicious sushi rolls, soba with prawn tempura, sashimi, teriyaki chicken and Yakitoshi tofu with miso soup. One thing I like about this platter is there is a lot of different food you can eat. The high light of this platter is the sushi and the fresh sashimi.

$15.50

 Also I order dessert call DO-RA-YA-KI which is a soft Japanese pancake filled with warm red beans served with slice of apple, orange and green tea ice cream. ($7.00)

$7.00

Toki's is good place for lunch when you fell like light Japanese dish in Carlton.
