A shared passion for skiing and the authentic flavours of Japanese cuisine combined to create Snow Monkey Ramen on Toorak Road in South Yarra. Housed in a corner building with leadlight windows and a full glass frontage, this unique ramen shop blends the traditional cooking techniques of Japan and France to bring a new taste to Melburnians; head inside to find blond wood table settings, cane pendent lights, paper lanterns and neon signage, ideal for an after-work catch up with friends.
Why should you drop in for a meal at Snow Monkey Ramen? Here are three good reasons:
What’s your most popular dish:
There are a few must-try dishes such as spicy miso ramen – very different from traditional spicy ramen as we use Szechuan spices to give it a twist in flavour. We make our own black garlic paste for our black garlic ramen which is very rich in flavour; while the stock for our lobster bisque ramen is made from prawns, lobster shell and blue swimmer crab, topped with a freshly breadcrumbed prawn.
What is your point of difference?
We are unique in that we are not a traditional ramen shop. I am the owner and a Le cordon bleu Chef so we are bringing the French way of cooking into the ramen scene which is uniquely different from traditional ramen shops.
What is a fun fact that not many people know about the restaurant?
All broths are made fresh in-house and we are going to make our own noodles soon. We have a city location opening next March.
