Ramen Auru is the Japanese-led ramen bar operated by Hatena Group on the first floor of a Crows Nest address shared with sister yakitori venue Yakitori Yurippi. Drawing inspiration from Tokyo's machi-chuka neighbourhood eateries, it is one of Sydney's latest-closing ramen shops, trading past midnight most nights.

About
The Hatena Group — Sydney's most distinctive Japanese restaurant collective — opened Ramen Auru as a deliberate homage to Japan's machi-chuka (neighbourhood Chinese-Japanese eatery) culture, a style of accessible, hearty ramen distinct from the premium Hakata or craft-ramen traditions. Situated above Yakitori Yurippi on Falcon Street, the first-floor space has tatami-floored areas and an intimate, Tokyo back-street atmosphere. Walk-in only with no reservations, it operates late — until midnight Monday through Saturday — making it unique among Sydney ramen establishments and a natural after-dinner destination. The Friday and Saturday lunch session from noon to 2:30pm is a recent addition. Auru's Japanese chef-led kitchen produces a concise but carefully composed ramen menu that prioritises broth clarity and umami depth, with specials rotating regularly.
Neighborhood & visiting
Ramen Auru sits in Crows Nest, one of Sydney's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional ramen restaurants often close between service periods.
