Before you head over

Practical ordering and menu tips for a smooth visit to Motto Motto Carindale.

  • Gauge the Spice Levels

    If you prefer subtle heat, approach the mala ramen with caution—it brings intense spice, whereas the black ramen offers a rich, soothing umami profile.

  • Customize Donburi Sauces

    When ordering dishes like the unagi donburi, consider requesting the sauce on the side so you can tailor the richness and seasoning directly to your preference.

  • Sample with Mini Bowls and Sweets

    Take advantage of side-size options like mini udon bowls and soft serve desserts to explore multiple dishes without ordering full second mains.
