Rising Sun Workshop

I remember the guy working inside the workshop being quite rude, had a 'what do you know' kind of attitude. Haven't gone back to the workshop ever but I've been to the cafe which is not bad, the stars are for the cafe, the workshop deserves none.

Beautiful venue. Simple but yum menu.

Overall: 6/10. Interesting theme and settings with average food. Environment: 8/10. The restaurant name explains it all. It's in Newtown so as expected. Food: 5/10. Ramen has its own style but lack of creativity, taste is okay. Service: 6/10. Nothing much to say. could be better. Price: 5/10. Expecting $30 p.p. a little pricy given its food and service.

I wonder if the Harley Davidson have a Korean BBQ or maybe Triumph have a kebab stand. Must be uniquely inner west to have a food side hustle if you fix dirty two wheelers. I'm quite sure the restaurant is more popular as it's packed. It'll be matter of time before they get rid of the bikes and grease. The chai I got was really good. Worth the trip alone. The ramen was why I came and I mistook it for vegan and overlooked the egg which I tossed in passive aggressive disgust at the spare plate next to me. The ramen was ok. Nothing to write home about for a plant lover. It was nice. Nothing special. Had I been hungrier I'dve ordered the cauliflower.... or was that another place. I forget. The service was well organised and the place itself was nice. Might be back for an oil change or when they do a vegan overhaul.

Interesting fusion , set menu recommended.

Fantastic food, great coffee. Have to come back to try the lunch and dinner menus!

Was hyped up to try the ramen here due to the reviews, but overall it was only... Okay. The broth for both dark and light ramen were too salty, the shitaki mushrooms in the ramen were too salty, and the KFC(Korean fried broccoli) was too salty. Overall? Way too salty, and disappointing. I had to pour water into the broth to dilute it a bit. I still feel dehydrated even now, hours after the meal here 😭 We also got the chocolate shake which was only okay. My fault for expecting better 😔 Ippudo ramen is way better and flavours more balanced.

"The motorbikes don't start up till the Tuesday after next." Way cool location nestled in an old motor workshop behind King Street. What do they call it? Upcycling? The bike headlights are used as table lamps, there's a very fifties Kelvinator that might have helped someone survive a nuclear attack and hogs on display as might have been ridden by Steve McQueen. Our waitress was both friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and while the breakfast Ramen was a treat the deep fried cauliflower chunks bathed in gochujang were just sensational. No coke on the menu but that's probably for the best. Kid friendly which is not what you'd expect in such a hip place, but there you go. The motorbikes don't really start up next Tuesday, or at all for that matter. Well, not downstairs at least. Extra points for the knife man slicing cucumber and the magician maitre d' taking our payment. A hidden gem performing well under COVID restrictions.

Ramen was good but lacked alot depth of flavours, the broth tasted simple, salt and shoyu overpowered any other flavours it might've had. No lasting or lingering taste after every slurp of the broth. The mushroom felt extremely sour and didnt compliments the overall dish, the egg in the darkness ramen was a pleasant surprise. Karrage dish felt abit over priced(menu does mention 3 pieces) chicken was light, crunchy, and juicy but wouldnt pay $13 for 3 nuggets again

Very interesting and tasty treats...snappy, happy service that treats you right. Lots of options for veg and carnivores. Great space.
