IIKO Mazesoba
Ramen. Casual and quick, Haymarket/Darling Square, in Haymarket · 1,190 reviews on Google
A tiny Haymarket spot specialising in mazesoba rather than traditional broth ramen — at the end of the meal you can order rice to soak up the sauce left at the bottom of the bowl. Vegan diners single out the vegan version as one of the best dishes here.
The highlight
Original mazesoba (dry, brothless noodles) mixed to order at the table, with the wagyu truffle version a runaway favourite.

-
The wagyu truffle mazesoba is magical — one of the best things I've ever eaten, with generous truffle shavings and wagyu cooked to perfection, all blending harmoniously.
-
The handmade noodles are so fresh and delicious — honestly the perfect comfort food.
-
The chashu pork belly has a lovely charred flavor; get extra, it's that good. The eggs are perfectly cooked and the noodles have a great chew.
-
The vegan mazesoba is one of the best things I've eaten in Sydney — every ingredient thoughtfully balanced, the flavors deep and rich.
-
Prawn croquettes, crunchy and properly stuffed.
-
At the end they bring a bit of rice to mix into the leftover sauce, and I scraped it all up.
-
I'd never heard of mazesoba. They explained it patiently and told me to try a splash of vinegar and some chili oil on top.
-
Got the karaage with mayo and stirred it through the mazesoba, made it even creamier.
-
My weakness here is the spicy chicken curry.
-
We shared a tuna kakiage and it was my favorite thing on the table.
