Jipang

Judge this basic joint in a drab arcade by its looks, and you risk missing fab food that's dirt cheap. The food arrives swiftly via attentive staff wearing Aussie flag bandannas. A selection of fried delights - gyoza, karaage, prawn tempura - are just right, crisp outside while tender and juicy within. Char siu ramen teams dark broth with noodles and thick slices of chopstick-tender roast pork, while the bento box - your choice of two mains, plus gyoza, rice and salad - is great grazing. You'll be hard pressed to eat your way through $30; use your change on a dessert of green-tea ice-cream, the only sweet offering.
