Hundreds are lining up on a Sydney street every day to access an easy-to-miss laneway that's home to a 'sensational' ramen restaurant.
Global sensation Mensho Tokyo has opened down Temperance Lane off George Street in Sydney's CBD and the lines form down the street from before 12pm every day.
Photos show queues snaking around the corner as eager foodies patiently waited the chance to get their hands on the famous hot ramen.
Those who reach the front of the line are greeted by a waiter who guides them through the laneway to a red door.
Once inside guests can enjoy bar seating or larger tables and watch as chefs prepare food live from over the counter.

The most expensive menu item will set you back $42 while the cheapest is $26.

Many shared how long they had to wait when they visited - and times varied between ten minutes to one hour.
'Dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. Make sure you get there early to queue up before their opening hours,' one wrote.
'Probably the only best choice in Sydney for a more traditional ramen experience,' another said.
A third provided a lengthy review on the food itself.
'This place serves up a variety of different styles of ramen, but I decided to go for the Classic Toripaitan which uses a chicken broth and has chashu and spring onion,' she wrote.
'The broth had an amazing depth and richness to it which I wasn’t expecting. The noodles were the perfect chewy consistency that I love. The broth got better with every mouthful and I didn’t end up with that heavy sickly feeling I sometimes get after a tonkotsu.'
While diners say it's certainly 'worth the hype' they likely won't be rushing back due to the lengthy wait time to step foot in the joint.
