Overview
Winter in Sydney means three things: shorter days, longer nights and the return of Butter Ramen Club. Now in its ninth year (and counting), the hotly anticipated noodle-fuelled celebration is on at Butter's Surry Hills home from now until the end of September — and this time, it'll be bringing the heat in a whole new way.
Executive Chef Julian Cincotta — Butter's fried chicken mastermind and ramen whisperer — has once again brought back his signature OG Fried Chicken Ramen for winter. This dish has taken on cult-classic status among Sydney foodies, and it's not hard to see why: thick-cut noodles, a marinated soft-boiled egg, enoki mushrooms and one of Butter's signature crispy fried chicken tenders, swimming in a rich, aromatic, tonkotsu-style broth.
That flavour bomb of a bowl is only the beginning, with a number of new additions on the menu this time around. You'll be able to try a limited-time ramen topped with Forged by Vow's parfait and foie gras, made with cultured Japanese quail. Then, in good news for spice lovers, Butter has teamed up with local spice peddler The Fermentalist, known for its house-made hot sauces and bold chilli blends, for an all-new ramen that's set to bring some serious heat to the table.
The bowls will be dished up daily in limited numbers, and only in store, for $25 a pop. You can also add a crisp $8 Tiger beer on the side for the ultimate winter warmer.
Of course, Butter is known for more than just its golden fried chicken, and the brand's streetwear fans also have something to get excited about this winter. The 2025 Butter Ramen Club apparel drop is landing soon, this time in collaboration with one of western Sydney's most hyped fashion brands. You can find it online and in-store — but as always, once it's gone, it's gone.
Whether you're a ramen obsessive, fried chicken fiend or just looking for a little extra warmth in your life this winter, Butter's annual ramen run continues to be a must-try for hungry Sydneysiders. Get in early, slurp up and embrace the heat.
You can find Butter's limited-run ramen range its site at 6 Hunt Street, Surry Hills, from now until the end of September.
