What makes you decide to finally walk into a restaurant that you have driven past almost every day for over five years? I recently asked myself this question when I booked in to Taro's Ramen Cafe in Adelaide Street. I often wonder which restaurant in the CBD is actually closest to my apartment, some of the contenders are Le Bon Choix (not really a restaurant), Alchemy (just across the street and down some stairs) and even Sanitarium (directly across the street). I think I now have a clear winner with Taro's Ramen Cafe, which right next door, about 20 metres away.
Whenever I have driven or walked out of my apartment I have passed right by Taro's, of course I haven't always known that it was a restaurant. It might seem funny, but for the first twelve months of living in the CBD I didn't even notice Taro's, it's just so tucked away on Adelaide Street. Slowly over the years I started to notice the noise and hubbub coming from the restaurant, but still never went that next step to find out what was there. Incredibly, it was only this year that I finally walked a few extra meters around the corner to see that it was in fact a Ramen cafe. I know, pretty lazy, right?
Taro's is as the base of the Boeing building in the CBD and is tucked right around the back and mostly hidden behind a bushy fence. It's quite an unassuming location for what turns out to be a pretty popular little spot. I was catching up with a mate for lunch and we wanted somewhere new (to us) and fairly cheap and for some reason Taro's jumped into my consciousness. Not knowing if MJ liked Asian style food, I took the punt and booked us in for a midday Friday lunch.
