Okuman Karaage and Ramen Bar

Overview

This sweet little South Brisbane gem is tucked away just a few blocks from QPAC, featuring a traditional low horigotatsu table in its private dining room. Okuman spoils us with a roundup of Japan's most beloved dishes, with some bonus vegan options thrown in, too.

As an appetizer, grab a pair of the crispy chicken bao, or a serving of scallop sushi with tartare sauce. For mains, try the cauliflower karaage with sriracha mayo, or the seafood ramen topped with sliced shallots. Okumen even offers vacuum-sealed home packs via DoorDash, which means you can have family-sized portions of cha siu pork, or salmon sashimi, ready for your next late-night snack-attack. Sure beats instant noodles, huh?
