There is a burgeoning of Japanese ramen - several new sushi outlets and at least two ramen shops in the last three years. This new restaurant near the train station (which replaced a previous family run Korean "Chocolat" home-cooked dishes) is as good as, if not better than, the another more established ramen restaurant opposite the public school. You can't miss them as the walls are invariably dark and black against contrasting lights and wall paintings.
A look at the soup stock would testify that they probably live up to the promise of boiling the pork ribs soup for more than 10 hours to achieve the opaque white colour. There is also the chicken soup option for those who are more health conscious or prefer not to eat pork. However, the amount or type of shoyu used could be a bit salty for some gourmet's liking.
Hitherto, most restaurants in growing northern suburbs such as Eastwood are managed by Koreans. That they offer a mixture of Japanese and Korean dishes does not make them less authentically Japanese. In any case, some well-known restaurants in Japan are run by ethnic Chinese and Korean chef businessmen and their families.

Many longing for Japanese food have traditionally headed for the northshore suburb of Artamon. There is a lot of synergy in Artamon where an authentic Japanese supermarket resides at the corner. Food lovers like to patronise Hana Jarun for the fresh sashimi while Genki Ramen is known for its noodles, quite close to those served in Tokyo streets. The decor and atmosphere is very casual and simple. Not to be deterred by the long queues, the system is actually quite efficient. After a meal, one could purchase a wider variety of Japanese groceries and whip up a meal at home.
