Ramen Do is one of those places you hear about long before you even notice the place or go there. It's fairly legendary as one of the best spots in Auckland to grab a big, steaming bowl of delicious ramen that's far removed from the cheap, mass-produced and individually-packaged supermarket counterpart.

The folks at Ramen Do make their own stock and noodles fresh daily, and the pork belly pieces are roasted then grilled on both sides. You can taste this dedication to quality with every slurp from the giant bowls and oversized portions. Go on a cold day and feel yourself warm up from within.
