Ramen restaurants have become increasingly popular in recent years, and Ramen Takara Ponsonby is no exception. This Japanese noodle house and sake bar has been serving up delicious bowls of ramen for over a decade, incorporating local flavors and Kiwi hospitality into their dishes.

What sets Ramen Takara Ponsonby apart from other ramen restaurants is their commitment to using locally sourced fresh, raw ingredients. This ensures that every bowl of ramen is bursting with flavor and packed with nutrients.

But it's not just the ingredients that make Ramen Takara Ponsonby stand out. The restaurant has a rich history dating back 40 years to a small restaurant at the foot of Mount Fuji. Executive chef and owner Yuki grew up watching her father's back in a busy ramen shop beloved by locals, inspiring her to carry on the traditions of Hōchinrō while incorporating local flavors.

It's no wonder that Ramen Takara Ponsonby has been named one of Metro Magazine's Top 10 Cheap Eats for three consecutive years (2015-2017). Their dedication to crafting tasty, authentic dishes at an affordable price point has made them a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

If you're looking for a unique dining experience that showcases the best of Japanese cuisine with a Kiwi twist, look no further than Ramen Takara Ponsonby on Ponsonby Road.
