The World’s 100 Best Ramen Shops · 2026
The Best Ramen Shops in Oceania
3 of the 100 venues in The World’s 100 Best Ramen Shops 2026 are in Oceania, in 2 countries. The highest placed is Hanakyo in Nerang, Australia, at number 40 in the world. Nichi Getsu Dō in Sydney, Australia (number 76) and Ramen Ramen by Tanoshi in Queenstown, New Zealand (number 95) follow.
Australia
Both Australian shops have Japanese people in the kitchen or on the floor. Hanakyo, which is Japanese-run, sits in a strip of restaurants beside a service station in Nerang and serves a thick, long-simmered tonkotsu with a choice of thin or standard noodles; parking is at the service station and fills by midday. Nichi Getsu Dō in Sydney's CBD is a miso ramen shop with mostly Japanese staff, where cabbage, bean sprouts and minced pork are fried in a wok before they go into the bowl.
Queenstown
Ramen Ramen by Tanoshi is down a side lane in Queenstown, New Zealand. Diners fill in an order form while they queue in the corridor or outside, choosing a base, a broth such as tonkotsu or Tokyo, noodles and paid toppings. There are few seats inside, on bar stools facing the open kitchen, and the tables outside are heated.
