Kosuke Ramen

A small branch of the Kosuke chain, with Japanese cooks and a steady queue — regulars of the other locations sometimes notice a difference in flavour between shops. The Spicy Kosuke and Yuzu Tontori are the most-mentioned broth ramen.

Comments inspired by 302 reviews, summarized with AI

• The tsukemen is impressive — the noodles come cold with a perfect firm texture, and the dipping sauce is bold, smoky and complex.

• The broth is thick, balanced and flavorful without being too salty or sweet, and the noodles absorb it beautifully.

• The ramen has amazing flavor but isn't too heavy thanks to the chicken-pork mix, and the chashu is amazing.

• The deep-fried chicken comes piping hot, crunchy outside and juicy inside, with nice thin noodles and a lovely broth.

• A great little place tucked into Lane Cove — walk-ins only, so expect a small queue, but the staff are welcoming and clear about wait times.

• Went with the yuzu tontori and the yuzu chili paste on top was great with the chashu.

• My daughter's a picky eater and she cleaned out the spicy gyokai shoyu.

• I love black garlic, so the Kosuke Black became my order.

• Seriously crunchy chicken katsu.

• Got the tomato ramen with mild chili and it came with a whole egg, not half.
