Ton Ton Regent, Sydney

On chilly winter days, there's nothing more comforting than a piping hot bowl of noodles in soup. This is how Sir D and I ended up at Ton Ton Regent - a primarily take-away noodle joint which also offers hand roll sushi, rice bowls and other dishes. There is some seating around the counter but when we arrived at 12.30pm on a Friday, almost all of the seats were taken. But we got lucky =)


At the counter they have a glass cabinet with some salads and sushi rolls, and around it are pictures of their menu items with shout outs of "New!", "Popular!" and "Try Me!". You can pick up a laminated menu from the counter or go for the noodle set which is written on the red board. The noodle set allows you to select one noodle bowl from the menu plus either a small curry, gyoza or sushi roll for $12.50. I was feeling quite hungry so I ordered the noodle set with their special Ton Ton Ramen, while Sir D ordered the Sukiyaki Beef Udon.

Ton Ton Ramen: A special 'tonkotsu' soup - mildly spiced thick pork broth topped with BBQ pork - $9.80
