Ordering guide

How to build your Shokku Ramen meal

Ramen is the centrepiece, but the full experience includes starters and sides. Here is how to assemble a great visit.

First visit

Start with tonkotsu

The tonkotsu ramen is the house signature and the best introduction to the style. The slow-simmered pork-bone broth is rich and creamy -- if you enjoy it, the spicy tonkotsu is the natural next bowl to try.

Share a starter

Gyoza or karaage first

Gyoza (pan-fried dumplings) and karaage chicken are the most consistently-ordered starters at Japanese ramen restaurants. Order one to share while waiting for your bowls.

Vegetarian

Vegetarian miso ramen

The vegetarian miso bowl uses kombu and shiitake dashi -- a genuinely flavourful base, not just a workaround. Pair with edamame and agedashi tofu for a complete vegetarian meal.

Heat lovers

Spicy tonkotsu + chili oil

The spicy tonkotsu layers chili oil and spicy miso into the rich broth base. Add the chili oil side dish to dial heat up further. The spicy miso is a good alternative if you prefer an earthier undertone with your heat.

Lighter bowl

Shio for a clean finish

Shio is the lightest broth style. If you find tonkotsu or miso too heavy, the salt-based shio with chicken chashu and yuzu is the gentlest bowl on the menu -- complex but not rich.

Customise

Add-ons and extra toppings

Most ramen at Shokku can be customised with extra chashu pork, an additional soft-boiled egg, extra noodles, or more bamboo shoots. Ask staff about spice-level options on spicy bowls.

About Shokku Ramen

Authentic Japanese ramen, slow-simmered.

Shokku Ramen is a Japanese ramen restaurant focused on traditional broth-forward bowls made with slow-simmered stocks. The menu spans the core ramen style spectrum -- tonkotsu, shoyu, miso, shio, and spicy variations -- alongside a concise selection of Japanese appetisers and sides that complement the bowls without overshadowing them.

The name "shokku" reflects the Japanese concept of a flavour punch -- the impact of a well-crafted bowl of ramen. Shokku Ramen sources its broth techniques from traditional Japanese ramen culture, with pork bones slow-simmered to build the tonkotsu base and kombu and shiitake used for the vegetarian dashi.

Common questions

Shokku Ramen -- frequently asked questions

Quick answers to what people most commonly ask about Shokku Ramen's menu, broth styles, vegetarian options, and how to order.

What kind of ramen does Shokku Ramen serve?

Shokku Ramen specialises in authentic Japanese ramen with multiple broth styles: tonkotsu (rich pork bone), shoyu (soy sauce-based), miso (fermented soybean), shio (light salt broth), and spicy variations of tonkotsu and miso. Each bowl comes with the classic toppings of chashu pork, soft-boiled marinated egg, nori, and bamboo shoots.

Does Shokku Ramen have vegetarian or vegan options?

Yes. Shokku Ramen offers a Vegetarian Miso Ramen made with kombu and shiitake dashi broth. Vegan-friendly sides include edamame, steamed rice, extra nori, bamboo shoots, and barley tea. Always confirm with staff for the latest allergen and preparation details, as broth options and kitchen practices may vary by location.

What is tonkotsu ramen?

Tonkotsu ramen is a style originating from Fukuoka, Japan. The broth is made by boiling pork bones at high heat for many hours, which emulsifies the collagen and fat into a rich, creamy, milky-white broth. It's typically paired with thin straight noodles, chashu pork belly, soft egg, and green onions. Shokku Ramen's tonkotsu bowl uses this traditional slow-simmering method for a deeply flavoured base.

What is the difference between shoyu, miso, and shio ramen?

The three main ramen broth styles differ in their seasoning tare (flavour concentrate):
Shoyu uses a soy sauce tare — the broth is clear to brown and savoury-umami.
Miso uses fermented soybean paste — the broth is opaque and full-bodied with earthy depth.
Shio uses a salt tare — the broth is the lightest and most delicate, often with a clean, slightly sweet finish. All three can use chicken, pork, or dashi-based stock as the base.

Does Shokku Ramen take reservations?

Reservation policies vary by location. Many ramen restaurants operate on a walk-in basis given the fast turnover of bowls. Check the official Shokku Ramen website at shokkuramen.com or contact your local branch directly for current reservation and wait-list options.

Where is Shokku Ramen located?

Shokku Ramen has locations in the United States. For exact addresses, hours, and any new openings, visit the official website at shokkuramen.com. Use the location finder there to find the branch nearest to you.

Can I customise the spice level in my ramen?

Yes. Shokku Ramen typically offers spice level customisation on spicy broth options. You can also add or remove toppings such as extra chili oil, extra chashu, extra egg, or noodles. Ask your server for the current customisation options at your location.

What appetizers are good to order at Shokku Ramen?

Popular starters to pair with a ramen bowl include the gyoza (pan-fried pork and cabbage dumplings), karaage chicken (Japanese fried chicken with kewpie mayo), and takoyaki (octopus balls with bonito and okonomiyaki sauce). The chashu bao buns are a good bridge dish between appetiser and main if you want something lighter alongside a broth-forward bowl.

Are prices available for the Shokku Ramen menu?

Shokku Ramen does not currently publish a fully priced menu on its public website. Prices vary by location and may change. For accurate, up-to-date pricing, visit shokkuramen.com or contact your nearest branch directly before visiting.
