The Dojo Ramen Bar

A neighborhood spot in Northcote, decorated with vintage toys and dog-friendly, with a good vegetarian variety. Some customers report broth that's forgettable or too salty on isolated visits.

• Honestly the best ramen in Melbourne, with the friendliest owners and staff.

• Some of the best ramen I've ever had — we sampled both the Tan Tan Men and the Tan Tan Mazesoba and every dish was packed with flavor.

• The shoyu ramen broth was excellent with great noodles, and the sushi was fresh and delicious.

• I ordered the spicy pork ramen and it was delicious, with fresh, delicately crispy pork gyoza on the side.

• Food-wise, always excellent — high-quality ingredients and unique, hearty broths across the different ramen.

• The veggie ramen had a fantastic broth, rich, creamy and savory, with just the right noodle consistency.

• So many vegetarian options — I love the edamame, veg gyoza, tempura, wafu broccolini and veg spicy ramen.

• If you love flavor, you'll love this place — everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor.

• The collection of vintage toys throughout the shop creates such a warm, nostalgic vibe.

• A really lovely space with lots of seating, super friendly staff — and it's even dog friendly.
