Lovely restaurant located conveniently along Barrack Street! The karaage bento was so filling, the chicken was really tender, juicy and flavoursome. And their portion is so generous. Very good value for the amount of food you get. Service was prompt, ambience was on point, couldnt ask for more.
Main Street Ryu replaced Zensaki on Barrack St sometime last year and I’m sooo glad Perth finally has a modern Japanese place to call our own ! But first, let’s taco ’bout #noritaco! Shaped like tacos , nori sheets are coated with a thin batter, deep-fried then filled with rice and some spec-taco-lar toppings.My favourite is salmon belly tartare , with fresh cubes of salmon melt away in your mouth, creamy guacamole adds some fattiness and yuzu dressing brightens the flavours right up. Gyudon comes second as tender braised beef brisket glazed over with sticky teriyaki sauce and topped with Kewpie mayo creates an incredible umami experience. Red Back follows closely behind with crunchy soft shell crab tempura deep-fried till golden, marrying kimchi mayo perfectly. Mushroom is surprisingly my least favourite as I find the batter too heavy. I can barely taste any mushroom, just flour and oil unfortunately. These nori tacos make the best snacks and you just can’t stop at juan. And if you’re into fitness, consider fitting a whole taco in your mouth.While pork gyoza had thin skin, crunchy bottoms yet juicy filling, the crispiness of pork belly’s crackling was next level ! Miso was prominent in the sauce but it needed a lot more chilli to be chilli miso caramel. It actually tasted a lot like Korean gochujang but the sweetness from caramel was what set it apart. We loved the pickled kale as it really lifted the pork’s fattiness.We also adored the scallop roll ! Lightly blow-torched scallops with teriyaki glaze, combined with creamy avocado, mayo and crab meat were the highlights of our night. The pieces were small enough to eat in one bite but substantial enough to justify the price tag. All the components melded well together and presented beautifully on the plate.Braised LA beef short ribs were super soft and tender. It initially smelled and tasted a bit winey but the funkiness was actually due to the fermented characteristic of ganjang sauce. I personally wasn’t a fan of the saltiness but I suspect it would taste better with some rice.Everything we ordered had such unique characters as @MainStreetRyu.Perth didn’t shy away from strong flavours. They managed to showcase #modernJapanese in a casual yet superior manner . With most items being under $20, you can expect to walk away on a full stomach without emptying your wallet.Popular ramen joints with luscious pork-base soups or lighter chicken-base siblings should feel very threatened by the existence of this seafood-base cousin right now . Main Street Ryu has taken Perth by storm with their innovative twists on traditional Japanese food and this seafood ramen is no exception. The Volcano Ramen had an incredibly thick soup, packed full of chilli and umami-filled seafood flavours. For the chilli novice, worry not as the spiciness wasn’t over-the-top and there was a subtle smokey undertone that complimented the broth beautifully. Each item of seafood was fresh and well-cooked, suggesting that they were cooked separately at different times , with care. We struck gold with the amount of seafood present, loads of plump mussels, crunchy soft-shell crabs, bitey squid, firm fish and 3 big fat juicy prawns . Noodles were al dente and even though it took us a bit of time to finish everything, they did not go soggy.Who needs men when you have ramen this good? instagram.com
Had a lunch time ramen with the wife, the volcano seafood ramen was super spicy and loaded with seafood. Counted 7 mussels albeit on the small side, but flavours were good.
came early on a friday evening for dinner. there werent diners yet when we arrived, but by the time we left about an hour or so later, 6 other tables had come in and another 3-4 tables were reserved. we had all 4 of the nori tacos, and we liked all of them except the soft shell crab one, as the sauce that accompanied it was a bit weird and quite sour. all the taco shells were crispy and all the fillings (salmon, tempura mushrooms, beef) were tasty and very different from each other. we also had the tokyo fish and chips, that came with 6 pieces of fish and 6 slices of the sweet potato chips. they were cooked well and served hot and fresh. the sauce that accompanied this dish was also very odd, and we ended up asking for normal mayonnaise instead. service from the 2 ladies were lovely. wed come back, but only for the tacos, which although are very expensive, were also very good and well worth the money.
Love the food at this one! The black cod miso is definitely a favourite, along with their fresh salmon sashimi tacos. Amazing Japanese cuisine!
Everything was good! The pork belly was definitely the winner here though. The soft shell crab taco and kingfish was also nice. Decor was great, place was easy to find, and average service. Although a little pricey.It was a good experience overall.
