Ramen Hozan

You'll find yourself on The Parade among the usual high street shuffle, but once you step into Ramen Hozan, there's a genuine sense of occasion. The kitchen takes its broths seriously—we're talking long-simmered pork bone stocks that taste like someone's actually bothered to do it right, not the five-minute job some places get away with. The noodles have proper chew, toppings aren't skimped, and honestly, it's the kind of place that makes you realise how many mediocre ramen restaurants there are. Locals have cottoned on (99 reviews, 4.6 rating speaks for itself), so don't expect to roll in and grab a table whenever—peak times get properly rammed.
