"Ganbaranba Noodle Colosseum is consistently rated as one of the top restaurants in Cairns, and it’s definitely the best place for ramen.

"The lines outside Ganbaranba give a clue to the quality of Cairns' best budget dining. The sunshine ramen—with pork, garlic and chili—is the most popular dish, followed by the gold ramen with pork, chicken, and black pepper. There is a full vegetarian menu and, if you're feeling adventurous, you can order extra toppings or noodles for just a couple of dollars more."
