Over the past five years, Runcorn's Genkotsu Ramen has served up plenty of bowls of its eponymous dish — and Brisbanites have slurped them all up willingly and happily. But we're guessing that, come Wednesday, March 11, the southside eatery will prove even more popular than it usually does. Slinging $5 bowls of ramen will do that.
To celebrate half a decade of being in the noodle soup business, Genkotsu Ramen is doing $5 ramen for one whole day. You'll need to order the original ramen; however you'll have a choice of shio, shoyu, miso and gyokai — so you just need to decide whether your tastebuds are feeling salty, or are hankering for soy, miso or fish.
You'll also need to eat in, as this special isn't available for takeaway orders.
It all kicks off at 11.30am, so you can head by for a cheap lunch or a cheap dinner. Expect to have plenty of company, of course.
