UCHILOUNGE / O'Uchi

The best ramen I've had in Sydney to date. The beef short rib was delicious, well cooked and with plenty of source, that made it a delight to eat. The chicken karage though was STANDOUT. Moist, not overly cooked and with a zest to compliment the flavour. You can tell how great a japanese establishments food is by the standard of their karage. I also had the beef rib ramen with extra beef. Again brilliant. Also they can make all the ramen gluten free which is a HUGE thing. There are very free great ramen places that offer 2 types of gluten free noodles. Also tried the 3 whiskey taster. Great selection of whiskeys. Can't wait to come back and try the duck ramen next. Highly recommend.

This place has become a necessary stop whenever I’m in Sydney! So rare to find gluten free vegan ramen, it’s so nice to have them so confident in it being safe for me to eat. The ramen is delicious, the pickled veggie was such a perfect fresh starter, and the yuzu iceberg a fantastic cocktail to go with such a hearty meal. Not to mention Sapporo beer on tap! The serving size for the ramen is huge, great value for money, with lots of delicious fresh ingredients.

Disappointed and upset – not safe for coeliacs! I’ve been coming to this restaurant for a while, trusting that the food was safe for people like me who medically need to avoid gluten. I was always assured the meals were coeliac-friendly. Only today, after yet another visit, I was told that they actually don’t guarantee their food is completely free from gluten contamination. I feel betrayed: I’ve eaten here multiple times, and whenever I had stomach issues afterward, I never suspected them. Now I realise I was never actually safe. Anyone living with coeliac disease knows how crucial honesty and accuracy are — this isn’t a lifestyle choice, it’s a serious health issue. This kind of vagueness is unacceptable. I won’t be coming back, and I feel I have to warn others in my situation: this place is not safe for coeliacs.
