Sunday Herald Sun: 5 of the best noodle soups (23 May 2010)
“Warming from the inside out, the gyu ramen chilli has tender char-grilled beef, vegetable dumplings, Swiss bean chard, bean sprouts and chilli sauce in a filling ramen noodle soup.”
Saturday Herald Sun Food Review (26 February 2011)
“Smack bang in the middle of Fed Square, it’s easy to dismiss this Japanese eatery as being touristy. But locals should give Chocolate Buddha some love – the tucker’s decent, there’s a fun vibe and one heck of a view”
