Chaco Ramen

Wonderful local traditional neighborhood Ramen place! The atmosphere is cozy and quaint and very personal. We were a party of four and arrived just as they opened and had no problem getting a table. However, I didn't notice as the night went on that people were queuing waiting for a seat. We tried many different dishes in our party and got a good experience from every dish we ordered. We even have a non Ramen lover in our group and he was quite happy with his curry rice dish with bone marrow. The neighborhood is eclectic and easy to enjoy on foot. There are many side alleys with local art and beautifully restored terrace homes. If we ever find ourselves in the area again, I would not hesitate to recommend and return for another delicious Ramen meal.

We had the pleasure of enjoying the chili coriander ramen, which was outstanding. The spice level was perfectly balanced, and the portion size was generous. The restaurant's ambience evokes a sense of Japan, with its thoughtfully curated Japanese decorative miniatures. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring prompt service. While there is limited outdoor seating (only two tables), the dining experience is commendable. I would rate the food a perfect 5 out of 5. Although the menu is limited, every dish deserves the highest praise. I look forward to returning.

This time, I tried their Yuzu Scallop ramen, which offers a slightly innovative twist. The broth had a refreshing hint of yuzu, and the presentation was lovely, including a scallop as a topping. However, I found the broth’s flavor didn’t quite match my personal taste. I might try their Fish Salt ramen next time, as many friends have recommended it. For sides, I ordered fried squid and pork dumplings. The dumplings came with their house-made spicy sauce, which added a unique flavor, and the fried squid was above average in taste. Just be sure to eat the squid while it’s hot—once it cools down, it becomes a bit too greasy and loses its appeal.

The staff were friendly and quick. They got my drink, Yuzu Punch out within a few minutes after I had sat down and the ramen came out about 10 minutes after I ordered it! (The ramen by the way is the best I’ve ever had!) I ordered the Fat Soy and it was amazing! The Yuzu Punch was also really nice, similar to a lemon, lime and bitters. Would highly recommend!

A lovely neighborhood Ramen joint that offers tasty ramen in a cozy izakaya environ. The fat soy ramen was great - the broth was clear and not covered in fat and the yuzu scallop was refreshing. Chicken wing karage was a great choice for an appetizer too. We came in on a Sunday night and didn’t need to wait. Just needed to share a table. We will definitely come back whenever we visit Sydney.

This Japanese ramen is highly recommended! The Fat Soy broth is super flavorful and rich, and the pork slices are tender and juicy. The gyoza feels homemade—really stuffed and satisfying. Plus, the chili sauce is super fragrant. Overall, it’s definitely worth trying!

Chaco Ramen is my favourite ramen shop in Sydney now! Been there a few times and tried different ramen, specials and sides and we enjoyed every single visit. Highly recommend their yuzu scallop ramen! Amazingly flavoured with many layers 😋 I ordered it with a lot of doubts but it turned out to be my must have in Chaco now. So delicious! Just go try everything on the menus! You will walk out of the restaurant with a very happy tummy!

Really lovely ramen spot. The selection was really unique, and I would highly recommend the chilli and coriander if you like these punchy flavours. The peppercorn made the soup base really flavourful and spicy!
