Kikanbo

  • Restaurant
  • Casual dining

Tokyo’s legendary Kikanbo Ramen, famous for its fiery 'oni' (demon spice) bowls and bold miso broth, has just opened its first-ever Australian outpost in Melbourne's city centre.

Known for its unique combination of spice, pepper, and deep umami, Kikanbo has earned cult status in Japan with lines often out the door.

Now, Melburnians can finally slurp up the real deal, right in the heart of the city.
