No. 04 — A ramen counter
NAO · RAMEN
We are Nao, a small ramen counter on Hay Street in the Perth CBD. Every morning we mix, rest and cut our noodles by hand — four kinds, each with its own bite — and keep four broths at a low simmer all day. That is the whole business model: flour, water, patience, fire.
Lunch here moves fast: order at the counter and your bowl lands in minutes, built in front of you — tare, broth, noodles, toppings, in that order. Dinner slows down. Bring someone, order gyoza for the table, argue about which noodle is best. Regulars are still arguing.
We keep the menu short on purpose. Five things, done properly, every single day. If that sounds like your kind of lunch, come and slurp with us — walk-ins are always welcome.
“A short menu is a promise. Five dishes means every one of them gets our full attention — the broth tasted daily, the noodles cut daily, the gyoza folded daily.”— The Nao kitchen, on why the menu fits on one card
