Shokku Ramen

2am 5am 3 in the afternoon it doesn’t matter their always open and always busy and it’s always consistent fast and easy. The broths from miso to tonkatsu to the Tori brother all have been amazing but my all time favorite as you can see is the luffy for what ever reason it just does it for me my runner up is the build your own bowl which comes out pretty close but with some tempura and extra tamago. But you can do it really any way you want. The atmosphere is typical uptown fair young people mostly so it’s bustling the vibe is always chill and the staff are always really nice especially considering this place never closes. I have been here several times now and it’s honestly never gotten old the menu is actually quite vast the drunken gyoza which is one of my favorites anywhere are always perfect and I get a strong sensation that who ever curated the menus eats the food because it has the feel of someone who enjoys food. Rather then someone who likes the concept of food as art which seems to have become the trend as of late. Much to my dismay. At any rate for 24 and a tip honestly this is worth it every day of the week and I would definitely be here more if I lived close. It’s good enough I go out of my way to go here above really most all of the other ramen houses. Tbh this is what I know trust and like and i have had many a bowl of noodle. Honestly if you haven’t tried it or on the fence do it. And if you have but want to know if it really was that good yes it was go back and have it again. Life is short one should eat well. 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏼

This place looked so cool. Anime decor and projectors of anime on the back. However, you can hear the anime or anything like that. So, it is there mostly to give you the anime vibes. It’s not small inside it’s actually spacious for a ramen place. It was definitely unique knowing the place is 24/7. I tried a few of their appetizing one being the gyoza (they had chicken or pork, I got chicken). I am hoping to try their ramen next time. Service was decent I did wait awhile to get refills on my water and for the check. I don’t feel like it was a busy night either. I did wait to get seating for 30 mins but I actually think that’s a short wait time for them. I think this place probably always has a wait time. They have seating outside where you can wait and then they text you when there’s a seat.

After searching for place that opens 24 hrs, I found this place and figured I gave a try. It did not disappoint. The location is easy to find. Parking can be tight during rush hours. The place is spacious, with a bar, and clean, well kept. The staff is friendly, attentive, and helpful. The dish I ordered was tasty, the broth was delicious, not too salty like many places, and the portion was plenty to satisfy. I will visit this place again even though it's a 20+ miles of trip for me.

LEGIT 24 hour ramen spot! We came by here in the morning and this place did not disappoint. You’re greeted right when you walk in. The food was so good, they even options besides Ramen. All the food does come out at once, good thing to know. The pork tacos were mouth watering, I need the recipe!!! I ordered fried rice, I wasn’t not a fan of the radish (?) on top but it was remarkably tasty otherwise. My friend ordered the Ramen and it busted down. I would love to see how it looks at night. We each spend less than $20 for two.

I came here for my final meal on the evening of my birthday (Dec 7) and wasn't disappointed.. well, somewhat disappointed! As unfortunately I wasn't really greeted at the door, nor was I asked where to go when I came in but found the bar and was unfortunately not provided service untill maybe 5 min after I sat down.. When I was given service, friendly bartender with an amazing anime atmosphere filled with modern and retro anime playing! Great ramen bowl, great food & drinks too. I'll come again.. just wish I had better service.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions so here is mine. When you first walk in, it looks just like any ramen shop. Seating was quick but food was alittle slow on delivery. Staff could be alittle bit more attentive since we never got refills on our drinks. The ramen itself i would say is overpriced for what you are getting. The bowl in the picture alone was about $25 which i feel is alittle absurd. The soup base was bland, nothing stands out from it. The curry aged rice was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. The chicken that came with it actually was soft, crispy, and tender but the rice was one of the saddest rice I have ever tasted. The rice was old and dry as if I was eating little clumps of sand. The chicken and rice was juicy and i enjoyed it the most. If it was just those two items I was reviewing I would have given it a 4 maybe 5 stars for sure. It does seem overhyped in my opinion .Again this is my own opinions and everyone is entitled to their own so let me know if you agree or disagree!

Came here around 11 pm on a Sunday. My second time trying ramen. The host, Ben, was incredibly funny. Victor, our waiter, was very attentive to me and my homegirl. Items ordered: For appetizer, we ordered “Kara-ge” which is like a saucy fried chicken bites and also “Drunken gyoza” and had it fried. For entree, I ordered the “Da Oxtail” and she ordered “The Luffy”. Desert ordered; - mango and matcha mochi Waiter gave good recommendations. Music was good. TV was playing anime on the scream. Loved all anime wallpaper decor on the walls. I’ll be back 🥹

Love the hours of this ramen spot. You can get your ramen cravings taken care of at any time. My friend and I decided to come check it out. Great flavor in the broth and tons of topping options. Cute interior design and clean restrooms. I'd definitely give it another try.

Great restaurant! Portion sizes are HUGE I'm going to be full for the rest of the day. They aren't shy with toppings. Best ramen I've tried! Christian pie server was very attentive and helped with selections.

This place looked so cool. Anime decor and projectors of anime on the back. However, you cant see hear the anime or anything like that. So, it is there mostly to give you the anime vibes. It's not small inside it's actually spacious for a ramen place. It was definitely unique knowing the place is 24/7. I tried a few of their appetizing one being the gyoza (they had chicken or pork, I got chicken). The gyoza was really flavorful and just dripping with sauce. I am hoping to try their ramen next time. Service was decent I did wait awhile to get refills on my water and for the check. I don't feel like it was a busy night either. I did wait to get seating for 30 mins but I actually think that's a short wait time for them. I think this place probably always has a wait time. They have seating outside where you can wait and then they text you when there's a seat.

the draw of this ramen spot is the fact that it's open 24hrs. the overall flavor of the ramen is solid, but when the server brought my ramen, it was pretty cold. it appeared to be a decently clean establishment, the service was great and the server was very personable. definitely added to the late night option list! bonne appétit

This ramen restaurant is the only one I know in Houston that is open 24 hours a day. There is limited parking available out front and some towards the rear. The vibes are very casual with an anime sort of theme inside. It is quite dim lit and not too noisy the times I've been, mostly on early weekday evenings. Service can be a hit or miss, but the wait for the actual order to come to the table is longer than expected especially when the house isn't packed. While the menu is fairly small and mainly ramen, they offer some rice dishes and your average Japanese style apps including edamame, gyoza, and karaage, and some fusion items like nachos and tacos. The bar menu is alright and they offer happy hour specials too. We've tried a few of their apps and found them to be very mid. Without sauces, bland. We've also ordered ramen as build-your-own as well as signature bowls. The ramen noodles (yellow which is part of the base price, spinach +2, or konjac +4) were soft and slightly chewy, what a good bounce! Choosing the broth is where it can make it or break it... I found lots of flavor in their miso (creamy pork broth with slight heat) but not so much in the other options. Where it can really add up is the toppings. Most vegetable toppings are roughly a dollar while additonal protein is $3-6, but the quality is not all that great. For instance, the pork and chicken were more on the dry and tough end, whereas the typical pork chashu in ramen is tender and moist...maybe they got overcooked? Same with the eggs...not much flavor and not with the soft yolky center. While I don't consider this restaurant as an authentic ramen spot nor a true Japanese restaurant (I don't think that's what they're trying to be either), I want to think Shokku is a place where friends can hangout and enjoy a warm bowl of noodles and a drink even when it's 3am. I'm not 100% opposed to coming back if friends really really want to, but it is not my top choice because of all the other great ramen spots in town.

Came here on a Friday night after work with my girlfriend and her friend. Her friend has been here plenty of times. This was our first time though. Love the fact that they're 24hrs. The restaurant is Anime themed, so theres Anime playing on the tv's. Everything we ordered was really good and flavorful. I took pictures of every thing ordered. We were lucky enough to get there during happy hour. The waitress was nice and pretty attentive .

Came back after awhile and to find out food wasn't as good as I remember. Price does increase quite a bit. Service was good but my ramen was too salty for my taste

Came by Shokku Ramen on a Sunday evening for some ramen and sat at the bar for quicker service. I don't enjoy any ramen spots in Houston so I didn't set high hopes for Shokku. The bartender was really nice and attentive, which made the experience smooth from the start. I ordered the vegan ramen with spinach noodles, and my friend went with ramen that had a vegan broth, chicken, and spinach noodles. Both bowls were decent and relatively satisfying. The only downside was that it was so cold inside the restaurant that I couldn't fully enjoy the meal. I was ready to head out sooner than I would've liked. I even asked if they could turn the air down a bit but they couldn't. Aside from that, it's a solid spot with good service and tasty options, especially if you're looking for vegan-friendly ramen.

I actually had a good experience at Shokku ramen. A few notes: Food was really delicious. I got the Shokku tacos and they were really delicious. I'd 100% get those again. I can't speak for the ramen but I was definitely impressed by my tacos. I thought the vibe was nice here. It was cool that they had anime playing on the walls. I will say, I wish it was a bit more intimate of an environment. It was a bit loud inside. Overall, this was a fun and unique place to stop. Glad I checked it out.

Great service! Fun ambiance! Loved the drowning gyoza. It was very good with all the crunchy bits on top. Very thin gyoza. Which was perfect! I also had the Shinigami Ramen. This is their spiciest Ramen, but the spice comes on the side so you can determine your level. Caution, as it is very hot! At first taste of the broth, it seemed bland to me. This is not the case. Try to stir it as much as you can. All of the good flavor fell to the bottom of the bowl. Very good broth. Not your typical ramen, but it was still good. Only 2 things I didn't like. Paper straws. Why?!?! Those things always fall apart. 2nd was I love just a plain old iced black Unsweet tea. They had the raspberry kind from a fountain machine or green tea. I opted for the green tea as I usually like that. It was a little too sweet for my taste, and I don't believe there are free refills. Other than those 2 things, it was pretty good. A little on the expensive side ($37.89), but still a good value for the portions and quality.

I came here on a random late-night Monday because I had heard about a 24-hour Ramen spot, and I had to try it. It was past midnight, and it was shockingly packed, but since I was solo, I was able to sit immediately at the bar. They have lots of Ramen options--especially some that aren't as 'traditional'. I went with the surf and turf ramen, and it was tasty! I also had a side of sushi (forgot the name), which was pretty delicious. And for my drink, my lemon drop was 10/10. Overall, I will for sure be back ESPECIALLY as a late night recovery food option :)

I was very impressed with this place. The food was really good. I went with my older sons and they both love anime so it was very fitting. I stumbled upon this gem because I was on a cleanse and not eating gluten so I wanted a gluten free ramen. They have Konjac noodles here and I was curious. Honestly I enjoyed this noodles so much I would definitely order them again not even being gluten free. My boys really enjoyed their ramen too. It was pretty busy, we had to wait just a little while for a table. There isn't too much parking around the building but there is street parking as well. They are open 24 hours too which I thought was really cool! I'm sure this place gets packed on weekend late nights! I would definitely go!

The place, ambiance, and drinks are amazing!! The ramen is good too, but their lychee martini's are sooo good! Their appetizers are great also! I can't wait to go back and try again. The service is nice also as we did not wait at all to be seating and our food didn't take long at all either. It's a 24 hr spot also which is great for the late night eaters.

Good option for late night meals. I'm not a fan of fast food, so when I can avoid it, I will, but seeing was a Tuesday at 10pm... the options were slim pickings. Luckily, we found this place and immediately had to check it out. Parking out front is pretty limited but the actual restaurant itself is pretty spacious, lots of table available. The restaurant is anime themed. There are multiple TVs airing different animes, anime character dedicated items on the menu, and anime plastered all over the walls. We were seated pretty quickly despite it being busy. The menu is pretty short and straight forward. As far as ramen goes, there are only 6 bowls of offered on the menu HOWEVER there is a Build Your Own Bowl option, so if you think about it... the options are limitless. I did the Build Your Own and asked for the Shinigami spice on the side. The server warned us of its potency, so I added a pea-sized bit to the broth. I thought it was fine and still needed more spice, so I added a fat glob. Big Mistake - the spice level went from a 3 to a 9 and my mouth was on fire. I still finished my bowl, the broth was good, and they give very generous portions of the add-ons. Only downside was that I request no scallions still received a huge portion of scallion in my bowl. The server noticed and offered to have the kitchen remake my bowl, but I declined since I felt it was wasteful. The service was great! The entire staff seems friendly and our server stayed on top of it. I did think the menu was a little pricey, but I'm thinking that's just the premium for 24-hour service. Adding this to my list of late night eats!

Anime themed when you walk in and plenty of seating. Parking can get a little tricky since there's a small amount of parking but some in the back. Had the Shrimp pops and chicken karaage as an Appetizer. And Da Oxtail Ramen. Pretty good and full of flavor. Only downside was service was a tad slow. Had to wait for our server to come around a few times until we got something we needed

0.5/5 -- Worst Service Ever (Except the Bartender) Visited on 10/29/25 around 10:45 PM and had one of the worst dining experiences ever. The receptionist said there'd be a 25-30 minute wait even though several tables were empty. We decided to order takeout, but she refused to take our order in person and insisted we order online--while we were standing right there. While waiting, we sat at the bar (with permission from bartender) and ordered cocktails. We saw other customers eating at the bar, so we asked if we could eat our to-go food while drinking. The hostess rudely said no. The bartender--who was the only polite and professional one--said it was fine, so we started eating. Then another staff member came over and told us we couldn't eat there, even though the food was from their own kitchen, but said we could keep drinking. When we asked for the manager, we were told he "wasn't there." Totally unprofessional, inconsistent, and rude service. Only the bartender deserves credit for apologizing and trying to make it right. Everyone else needs serious customer service training. We left very frustrated, very disappointed, and still hungry.

Stopped in Sunday around 1:30, it was lively but not extremely busy so we were sat right away. The anime decor is cute if you're into that. Our waitress was really nice and she answered all of our questions. We started off with the Kor-age and it was SOOOOO GOOD! The honey sauce was delicious. I ordered the Shinigami Ramen and the flavor of the broth was good on its own but adding a bit of the spice definitely made it that much better. My friend ordered the ramen of the month and she really enjoyed it. Overall, I think it's a solid place for ramen maybe a little over priced but it's worth trying at least once.

This place had been on my list for a while in glad I finally decided to come here! Everything I tried was so flavorful my favorite was the SHINIGAMI RAMEN with pork and chicken and egg! The broth is so rich !! We also had some gyoza and kimchi fried rice and that one was also amazing and so big for a "small" portion! The server was nice and prompt and the place itself looks great decorated with anime legends and tvs blasting Dragon Ball, attack of the titan and others!! Definitely coming back to try more stuff! Their happy hour looks great so I'll be coming for that !

We were in from Austin two days ago and the food here was very delicious!!! By far the best ramen we've had. Oni spice was great and the proteins on both ramens were amazing. Our server was super nice and helpful and had great recommendations.

What a cute anime themed restaurant! I stopped by with a couple of friends the other day to try out the Ramen. We also ordered a round of Gyoza which were delicious as well with a crispy onion or fried garlic on top. I built my own Ramen bowl, which was quite tasty. They are also 24 hours so a perfect spot for a late night craving. The service was pretty quick and responsive to our needs. All in all, a great dinner recommendation!

Appreciate you Fernando for your great customer services..... great service .... thanks for confirming my order and making it right

It was an extremely busy night due to the DreamCon convention, but I have to give credit to our waiter for being patient and going above and beyond to take care of us. I ordered the ramen with chicken broth and added a few custom toppings: soy-cured egg, naruto, wood ear mushrooms, red ginger, and a side of premium sake. So far, this is the best ramen spot I've found in Houston!

Came at 3 am with a couple friends and was surprised at how busy it was. They estimated a 45 min wait and told us they had a two hour wait earlier in the night. We waited about 40 min when they texted us. Over all the service by Maggie was pretty great. She was attentive and had a positive attitude even through the hustle and bustle. We ordered the chicken dripping Gyoza (8/10) which the dumplings themselves could have used some more seasoning however the sauce they drown them is was 10/10 delicious. After that I personally had Da Oxtail Ramen $22 (8/10), my friend had the Surf and turf (9/10) $22 and a custom Ramen order in Tori broth (10/10) $17. The broths are not greasy and the soups are full of delicious veggies. I will definitely be back. They had closed caption anime playing on the projector and a great playlist going to keep it lively. Overall great food and a great experience. And yes, it truly is open 24 hours.

Pretty solid 24/7 ramen spot. They had anime playing on the TVs in sub which was a hit for me. I will be coming here when I come back to htown!

So the restaurant states it is 24 hours and says there is a delivery option so we order food after the bar so between 2-3am. It is now 5 am and I am still up waiting on the food. $40 worth of food. Unsure what's happening? I have called 5 times and it goes to voicemail but says the voicemail box is full. Just sad we don't have the food /:

I recently went here for a quick late night bite, I was not disappointed. We were told it would be a 15 minute wait for a party of 4, but we were able to get sat within 10 minutes maximum! Once we got our orders in, the food did not disappoint! We had a slight hiccup as we asked for their karage but we got the kore-age instead but we got our karage within a couple minutes of addressing the issue. I got the ichiraku ramen and topped it off with bok choy, an easy 8.9/10! If you're looking for a cozy ramen spot available any time of the day, Shokku Ramen is definitely the move!

What's not to love about a 24-hour ramen spot? I always come here late at night after a few drinks and they always deliver. Food is really good here. And their drinks rock also. Service is always very quick and I've never had a problem finding a seat, particularly at the bar. Been here several times and definitely intend to come back. Highly recommend.

Food: Ramen was delicious. 5 Stars Service: Friendly, warm, and fast. 5 Stars. Ambiance Inside: Like a fusion vibe of Japanese eatery and American sports bar. 5 Stars Ambiance Outside: Finding parking is painful. Even on Sunday night, had to drive around 6 times before parking was available. Inside, however, they have plenty of tables. 1 Star Overall: 4 Stars

I'd seen Shokku Ramen pop up a few times on IG/TT and finally got the chance to check it out after a workout with a friend. We like to try new places and picked this one since they're open 24 hours--definitely a plus. We didn't have a reservation but were seated quickly. The vibe was casual with anime playing throughout the restaurant. It was moderately packed when we arrived around 7:45-8:00 PM on a Wednesday night, but nothing too crazy. One cool thing they do that definitely earns extra points: the digital menu is interactive. When you press and hold the name of an item, a photo pops up so you can see exactly what it looks like. Super helpful if you like to visualize your food before ordering without having to hop on Yelp. We shared the Drowning Gyoza to start, which was good, but a little disappointing. Based on the name (and the menu photo), I expected it to be drenched in sauce--it came out pretty dry. I even asked the waiter if that's how it was supposed to be, and apparently it was. Still tasty, just not what I had in mind. For mains, my friend ordered the Japanese Garden, and I went with the garlic-based special they were featuring at the time (I think it changes weekly or monthly). Mine had a flavorful broth very garlicky in the best way. The portion size was great and everything came out quickly. As someone who's had ramen in Japan, I'll say this--it's not the best ramen I've ever had in my life lol, but it was definitely solid. The experience overall was good, and I'd come back, especially since they're open 24/7 and good for a post-night-out.

August 17, 2024 Disappointed. "shokkuh" was a shock because it had no flavor. They had no chili paste or soy on the table . . . had to ask for it. That helped. On a positive note. I've always wondered what those white pieces with the pink swirl was.. I only know it to be an emoji!! LOL! But, my Hispanic friends said it's a fish cake ... it basically absorbs the flavor of whatever it's in. FYI Anyway, the ramen wasn't "bad" it just wasn't flavorful or memorable. [shameful chef] The chicken appetizer was good. Drinks good. Won't be back

Great service. My server Cece was wonderful and made sure I had everything I needed, and even recommended me new items to try. Will be back!!

As always great food! Beautiful level of spice! Loved the vibey rnb playlist Been coming here for a few years and I have to say the Gojeta was IMMACULATE

Came in late after a long shift, CICI really turned the experience around, very knowledgeable on the menu & recommended great items, music in the room set the ambiance!

First time in a long time, Cici is amazing and the food was to come back for! Great playlist too btw

0.5/5- I just can't get over the terrible experience my friends, my husband, and I had at this restaurant last night, October 29, 2025, around 11-11:30 PM. I initially wanted to write this review as soon as I got home, but decided to sleep on it, hoping I'd feel better in the morning. Unfortunately, I woke up still deeply upset about what happened. It was truly one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. Never have we been treated with such rudeness and discrimination. My friends and I are all professional nurses, and my husband is a retired veteran. We don't usually mention this--since it shouldn't matter when it comes to receiving basic respect--but the way we were treated last night was completely unacceptable and deeply insulting. After coming from a comedy show at UH, we were all hungry and searched for an open restaurant nearby. We were thrilled to see that this restaurant was open 24 hours. When we arrived, there were only two people waiting ahead of us, and the restaurant wasn't full--several tables were open, and the bar was mostly empty. We asked for a table for four, but the hostess told us there would be a 25-30 minute wait. She did not give us other options like the bar maybe, which was obviously not filled up. We were actually okay to sit anywhere because we were just hungry. Since it was late and we were starving, I asked if we could just order our food to go. The hostess, who seemed irritated, said she couldn't take our order because she was busy, and told us to order online instead because it would be faster. Although it felt unusual, we complied and placed our order online while standing inside the restaurant. The order was supposed to be ready in about 15 minutes. While waiting, one of my friends asked if we could sit at the bar since it was 75% empty. The bartender politely said it was fine, so we sat down and decided to order drinks while we waited. After some time, we noticed our takeout order was taking longer than expected. One of my friends asked the hostess if we could eat our takeout at the bar since we were already ordering drinks. She said she would ask, but when she came back, she handed us our takeout and told us we could not eat our food there and should go home to eat it. We found this confusing and frustrating because there were other customers eating ramen at the bar. We asked if we could just convert our to-go order into a dine-in order since we were already there and drinking, but she refused and walked away without further explanation. The bartender, who had been very kind, told us he personally didn't see any problem with us eating there, so we decided to start eating quietly at the bar. A few minutes later, another staff member approached us and told us we were not allowed to eat our food there because there was a line waiting to be seated at the bar. When I asked to speak with a manager, he said there wasn't one available. At that point, I was very upset. I told him how rude and unprofessional it was to treat paying customers that way--especially when we had ordered both food and drinks from the restaurant. He said it was "their policy." I wished I would've asked for a copy of this policy because I have never encountered anything like that before. I really would love to see one! What made it worse was the double standard--others were eating at the bar, but we were told we couldn't. We were not loud, we were not causing trouble, and we had ordered respectfully like any other customers. It honestly felt discriminatory and humiliating. I wish I had taken the names of the hostess and the staff member who confronted us, because no customer should ever be made to feel so unwelcome and disrespected. This experience completely ruined what should have been a fun and simple late-night meal after a show. The customer service at this restaurant is absolutely the worst. And based on many of the other low-rated reviews I've read since, poor service seems to be a recurring problem here. The food was just okay--nothing special. There are far better ramen places in the area that serve authentic Japanese flavors and treat customers with genuine hospitality. The only reason we chose this place was because it was open late, but sadly, the experience left a terrible impression. For reference, we are four Asian customers, and the way we were treated made us feel unwelcome and discriminated against. No one should ever experience that.

made a reservation for 11pm on a thursday night and was seated immediately upon arrival, restaurant had lots of seating and was decorated with anime graphics. multiple tv screens all playing different anime. we ordered "da oxtail" which included ox tail, mushrooms, soy marinade eggs, yellow noodles, and broth was a combination of their tonkotsu and oxtail broth. we also tried the "surf and turf" that came in a rich tori (chicken) broth and yellow noodles, topped with NY strip, 2 pc shrimp tempura, and soy marinated eggs. both ramen bowls were delicious in different ways, but we think that the tori broth had more flavor. the drowning gyoza was decent too. i had seen some negative reviews on here as well as tik tok regarding their service, but we didn't have any issues with that. our server, fernando was very kind and attentive and we didn't have to experience any long waits.

The parking is terrible. There's way more seats inside than there are parking spots. Idk how they think people will be able to sit if they can't park, unless everybody carpools with cars full of people. We parked in the lot of the business next door after their business hours were over. It seemed like other people did that too, so we thought it was safe, but I wasn't 100% sure we wouldn't get towed lol We came at around midnight on a Saturday night and surprisingly got seated immediately, even though it was pretty busy. Service was nice, but seemed to be struggling. It could have been because we were a table of 6, or our server was new, or they were understaffed, or because it was late in the evening, so it might not be normal, but I experienced the most mistakes I've had at a restaurant in a while. An appetizer never came out and had to be removed from our bill, my friend's ramen was missing a topping, our server took 2 attempts to split the bill correctly, and my bf's drink didn't come out until everyone finished all of their food and it didn't taste like it had any alcohol in it. Nothing outrageous, but pretty notable. I got the DROWNING GYOZA. It comes with the option of chicken or pork. Idk why it's called drowning gyoza when it's not sitting in a sauce. It has sauce drizzled on it, I think, so maybe it should be called drizzled gyoza lol at most, the plate might've just been brushed with sauce. Definitely not "swimming" like the menu says, but, regardless, it's delicious! There's plenty of flavor despite the lack of sauce. Get it if you're considering it. I was fully happy getting just this after a night of drinking. My bf got a Tori (chicken broth) ramen and liked it. He added Oni (red) spice and the flavor of the spice was delicious! Too spicy for me, but definitely tasty! I thought the signature bowls were ridiculously overpriced. Maybe it's because of the area, but I can easily get a better bowl of ramen for cheaper elsewhere. Also, everyone in our party built their own bowls because there wasn't a great selection from the signature bowl options. All issues aside, everything I tried was pretty good. I'm not sure why their rating is so low, but based off of my experience, it's problems with everything but the actual food. It's worth trying out if you're craving this type of food late at night when everything else is closed, but I probably won't be back if other ramen options are open.

The food was amazing!! The server was the best and super patient, he made sure we got everything for our order right! 10/10 would recommend! The ambiance was nice! Super cute inside and defiantly anime themed!!

Food was good but had to be modified because they were out of basil & coconut milk Bartender was nice and knowledgeable about the drink menu and the cocktails were yummy

This was our second time going to Shokku Ramen and it was so good! I ordered the Build Your Own Ramen with Tonkotsu broth, yellow noodles, pork, mixed mushrooms, crispy garlic, bean sprouts, and green onions. My boyfriend did the Exodia Bowl which is their featured bowl for May. It was really busy when we went, wait wasn't too bad but the bar ended up opening up so we just sat there. We love the anime theme of this restaurant, they usually have different anime's playing on all their t.v's but unfortunately when we went the second time it seemed like there was an issue with them because they were all blank. The service was really good as well, our server was extremely kind and willing to give recommendations and answer questions. Overall, I definitely recommend this restaurant and will definitely go again!

First impressions: the hostess/waitress felt that packing to-go orders were more important than seating guests. Even though the restaurant was empty at 6 pm somehow they still had dirty tables and I had to wait for a table to be wiped down. It is also FREEZING in this restaurant. I shouldn't be shivering while trying to eat. Last two complaints: they sat me so close to the kitchen I was basically in the kitchen and had to hear the music the cooks were listening to. They also use paper straws which disintegrate and are gross. I ordered the November featured ramen- the Baki bowl made with beef bone broth served with yellow noodles. Topped with New York steak, bok choy, green onion, & a soy cured egg. Heads up, there isn't a price on the website but it's $25! Definitely not worth the price. The steak was ok, but over cooked. The only saving grace was the broth and egg. I will not be coming back. Better and cheaper ramen other places!

Came for a late night bite, and it wasn't busy. I was immediately seated, and my waitress took my order quickly. The food was really good and very affordable. It's definitely a great place for a quick meal. Bianca

Late night ramen spot! Always packed on weekend nights. Got the Korean fried chicken, ramen, and cheesecake. The fried chicken was okay, but the ramen was hearty and flavorful! Quick service as well.

If you love anime ambiance and are looking for a decent bowl of ramen at 3am this is a good spot. Service was great, loved our waitress. And I get they are open 24hrs so their ramen has to be expensive, $23 for a bowl. Would I pay that for a regular bowl of ramen for a place open from 10-8pm? No. But I would pay it at 3am if I'm craving ramen.

Host was rude and the wait time was long. Did not ask us if we wanted anything to drink. Ordered our appetizer and waited 45 minutes for nothing to come out. Never even got the chance to order our main dish. Very disappointing after thinking very highly of this place.

Surf and Turf was amazing it is the best Ramen in the whole world (as per my son). I had the kimchi chicken rice, which was great. Good service and quick. Could turn their air conditioning down as it was freezing!!

Sorry forgot to email but thank you! I decided to go back again taking my sister from out of town this time and she loved it as much as I did. I finally got to try the eggs and it's a big YES from me, definitely made my top 3 list they were so good and soft. Our server was so helpful in choosing spice level and made this experience better than the last. It was busier this time than last but he still made sure we were taken care of. Their drowning gyoza is a must, definitely order. I'm glad I gave them another shot I think they're my new ramen place in Houston!

Apps: Ordered Kore-age and it was a great chicken with nice crunch. A bit too much gochujang and a tad salty even for Asians. Chashu fried rice was a bit too wet and salty as well. Ramen: I ordered shio ramen with pork, bean sprouts, naruto, and bamboo. Broth had an okay flavor, noodles were a bit too thick and al dente. Naruto maki they give way too many slices and it's tad too thick that it overpowers the noodle as you're eating it. The Chashu is a bit much as well and thick. Now this may not sound like a bad thing to other people as you're getting more for your money and already the bowl is pricey as it is, I can see why. But I believe that the toppings and ingredients are there to distract you from the main star of the show which doesn't really even stand out on its own. Packing on as much as the bowl can handle or that the server can carry at once. Look at the way the bowl is dressed. It looks like everything was thrown in without meaning and purpose. No respect for ramen, no spirit. I know some of the readers may not understand what I'm talking about and may say it's amazing and that I must be crazy. To the reader I ask you to really look into every aspect of the next meal you have. Look at it, talk to it, and don't just ingest it but try to savor it. One day, you might understand.

The food was delicious & Victor provided excellent service while making sure our experience was nothing short of the best! 10/10 recommend!
