This cosy inner-north ramen joint serves less than 100 bowls a day
Japanese$$$$ Ako's in Fitzroy is a heartfelt story, born from owner Sho Iijima's nostalgia for his mother's home-style chicken soup from Kanagawa, Japan. This translates to a concise menu where chicken shio ramen – clear chicken broth with a salt-based tare – is the hero. Sho only serves 80 to 100 bowls daily, each with meticulously prepared house-made noodles, tender torched pork chashu, marinated egg and bamboo shoots with a perfect bite. A vegan mushroom broth, also inspired by Ako's recipes, offers an equally nourishing alternative.
