About Taro's Ramen

Taro’s Ramen serves Brisbane’s benchmark tonkotsu—simmered rich and porky, then paired with house-made bouncy noodles. Diners punch their orders into table iPads, building bowls topped with tender bangalore pork, jammy eggs, or fragrant black garlic oil. Coeliacs eat without panic thanks to a dedicated kitchen station frying safe chicken karaage and boiling gluten-free noodles, while plant-based regulars swear by the classic vegan broth. Regulars drop in for rotating monthly specials—like Tokyo-style Jiro bowls—alongside crisp potato croquettes and cold Suntory drafts.

  • Coeliac-Safe Kitchen Protocol: A dedicated allergen prep workflow ensures cross-contamination-free ramen and gluten-free chicken karaage.
  • Self-Paced Tablet Ordering: Table iPads allow diners to customize broths, toppings, and sides seamlessly without waiting on waitstaff.
  • Rotating Monthly Specials: Specialty styles rotate into the menu monthly, from Tokyo Jiro-style bowls to oyster ramen.

    Diners rely on the rich, creamy tonkotsu broth and perfectly textured springy noodles for a deeply satisfying meal.

  • Certified Cross-Contamination-Free Prep

    A dedicated allergen menu and separate kitchen preparation protocols let coeliac diners enjoy ramen and chicken karaage without cross-contamination stress.

    they do have a separate page for truly contamination free gluten free things that are being prepared separately.

  • True Peace of Mind for Coeliac Diners

    Guests with strict coeliac requirements experience genuine peace of mind and digestive security when dining out.

    I'm very sensitive to cross contamination and already had a bit of a stomach bug from yesterday but had no reaction at all :)

  • Comforting End-of-Day Decompression

    A warm bowl of tonkotsu combined with comforting sides offers restorative relief and decompression at the end of a demanding day.

    Particularly at the end of a long day or in the middle of winter, the food combined with company and the warmth of the atmosphere make a good way to wind down.

    Perfect way to warm up was with this yummy bowl of ramen

Before you head over

Essential ordering, timing, and dietary advice for your visit to Taro's Ramen Greenslopes.

  • Navigate Coeliac & Gluten-Free Options

    If you have coeliac disease or severe gluten sensitivities, order directly from the dedicated contamination-free page rather than just modifying standard bowls, and enjoy separately prepared gluten-free chicken karaage.

  • Plan for Peak Evening Queues

    On busy evenings, especially Friday nights and weekends, expect queues near the entrance; grab a drink across the road if waiting or arrive early to beat the peak rush.

  • Customize at the Table Tablet

    Use the at-table tablets or iPads to customize your order efficiently, tailoring options like noodle firmness, salt levels, and extra broth or garlic oil at your own pace.
