Shokudo

Tiny unassuming ramen and udon place from the outside, went in looking for a snack. Ordered a small pork rice bowl, and was told it would take 15min. I got hungry from the delicious smells, and decided to eat my takeout directly in the car (see half eaten pic... I promise it was much prettier before I dived in). Pork was savory, grilled with the a solid touch of char, and was simply garnished with sesame seeds and nori over rice. Pretty tasty, and definitely warrants a future visit for ramen sometime!

Oyster ramen added egg and pork belly. Staying in town for business so had to get Togo. Can't tell you how impressed I was for the level of care of protection of the food for delivery. Once I saw that I knew it was going to be amazing. Once absolutely some of the best things I've eaten recently. Wish I would have added a spicy garlic but it was amazing without. Well done!

Great food, service and atmosphere. Tried their spicy miso soup and spicy pork fried rice, chicken fried rice and pork bun. Everything was delicious. Would definitely come back.

From the moment we walked in, the service was great. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole dining experience welcoming and enjoyable. Now, for the food, it was absolutely delicious! My favorite is the Tonkotsu Ramen. The broth was rich, creamy, and slow-boiled for a deep, complex flavor that was the definition of comfort in a bowl. Highly recommended!

Stopped by for a late night ramen, did not disappoint. Although I’ve had better ramen before, the ramen here was decent. The broth was flavorful and I could tell a lot of time and effort was put into making it from the big vats in the back to the cheerfulness of the staff. The owner was also very nice and helpful in ordering. Finally, the atmosphere was cozy and well-decorated. Very good experience.

I have been coming to Shokudo since I was 16 years old and my boyfriend and I are avid regulars here. The food is always delicious and tastes homemade - I’m especially a fan of the vegetable miso ramen. It’s perfect for a quiet lunch or dinner and never disappoints. 10/10 recommend!

My family has been coming here for years. This is our favorite ramen shop of all the ones around the area. Plenty of seating, usually quiet, and we’re always happy when Avatar the Last Airbender is playing on the tv. My family loves the spicy pork buns, kaarage chicken and the agedashi tofu appetizers. The tonkotsu ramen has such a delicious and flavorful broth. That’s always a must have. Just recently tried the Spicy Pork Donburi and will definitely be getting that again. Service here is quick and excellent. Special thanks to Sun for always taking care of my family when we’re here. The food and service has been consistently great over the years so that’s why we keep coming back and will continue to do so!

Whenever we are in the area, we make certain to eat at Shokudo. Your first thought is that it's a typical strip mall, fast food eatery. Not so. From the gentle background music and lovely Asian woman who greets you like you're family, to the food that is perfectly delicious and authentic, you will be delighted that you came here. Looking forward to our return.....don't forget the polite bow as a show of respect!

Shokudo sits in a little strip between a Rita's and a UPS Store. A cutely decorated resturant with a sweet older lady to greet you. But the issue I have lies with the food, which is the most important element of any resturant. My fiancee ordered a Tonkotsu Ramen while I ordered the Chicken Donburi. My rice bowl was flavorless, I needed to add siracha to finish half of it, the other half I left. As for the ramen, the broth was creamy but not rich with flavor as you would expect which was highly disappointing. The food lacked flavor and substance. We will definitely not be coming back. While it's sad to make this type of review, I hope the business will take this as constructive criticism.

Came here for spicy miso ramen since I was craving ramen all day. I had chicken karaage and spicy miso ramen. My friend got Kontonsu Ramen. Both tasted amazing. Loved the subtle decoration of the place with anime posters and kitty chopsticks holders. The server girl was very hospitable and friendly. I'd definitely come here again if I ever crave ramen again.

We were down at Rutgers and the Boy wanted a late lunch, but of course had no idea what he wanted...so I chose Shokudo. Having never been there before we kind of played it safe. We started with edamame and some steamed shumai. For our entrees Wifey and the boy each had rice bowls (one chicken one pork) and I had the Shoyu Ramen with chicken. The food here was very tasty and the servers were friendly and helpful. If I lived closer I'd definitely go here frequently...

Small restaurant in a strip mall w a Walmart. 15 or so tables, lots of decorations involving anime characters and show. Menu limited to apps, ramen, udon and donburi rice bowls. We had a chicken kaarza app which had like 5 pieces of chicken, fresh fried and very hot with a sweet dipping sauce. We ordered a ramen and an udon noodle bowl. Came out nuclear on a tray with soup spoon, napkin and spicy condiments. Nice flavor, lots of noodles, seaweed flakes, sliced fish cakes. Nice, hot and filling. We ordered a chicken donburi bowl for takeout for my son. It was good according to his testimony. Place is nice, one server and one chef, So on a busy day it may take awhile, but otherwise place is nice. A more extensive menu would be nice.

I just moved to the area from the city, let me tell you this ramen is Amazing! 10/10 recommend. Walked in and was greeted with a smile by the server, Akshika. She brought our menus and offered water right away. We ordered, food came out freshly made and HOT! Started with the pork buns and chicken karrage. Made to perfection!! We ordered the Tonkotsu and Spicy miso ramen, both are made from scratch 24 hours. Soooo good!! Akshika is so pleasant with her gracious smile and the food is authentic and amazing prices. The restaurant is CLEAN. They even have these cute little chopstick holders, I appreciate tiny details. Also unbeatable prices- I wish the egg was included but for $2 you get a whole egg not just half, which we added and it was so worth it. I wish I took a pic of the nice presentation but I ate too fast, next time!

I enjoyed my meal at Shokudo. The vegetable miso ramen was flavorful and came in a large bowl. My only request next time would be for more toppings, the pieces of tofu were very thinly sliced and I would have liked to have some more. My friend got the tonkotsu ramen and enjoyed her meal as well. The service was fast and friendly. The interior had plenty of seating.

The ramen is quite good!!!!! The ambiance is quiet & peaceful, nice place to have a good meal & get work done if need be.

Yum. Yum. Yum. . Had some delicious ramen for lunch. Who knew Jersey was hiding this spot. The hostess was attentive, friendly and helpful. My ramen was delicious and hot. We didn't wait long. So happy to have made this discovery. Loads of parking. Close to shops. Located in a strip mall.

We came here on a Friday it was quite empty and it looked like a traditional Japanese ramen restaurant but the soup that came out was nothing close to. Broth was tasteless, the chicken karage was soggy and had a funky taste. Unfortunately haven't had ramen that bad in quite awhile. Service was great though

My Fiancée took me here because she figured ramen would cheer me up! I am glad she did because the ramen was amazing. The service was great, the lady there was extremely patient and kind. I decided to have the miso ramen with the spicy paste on the side. The ramen was straight noddles (which I love) and the broth was silky smooth. My fiancée had the spicy pork bowl which she loved. We will definitely try this place again!

Spotted this cute and cozy ramen place and I am so happy I did! The service was top tier. Our waitress was friendly, polite, and efficient. My ramen was absolutely DELICIOUS. The atmosphere was also cool. Quiet and vibrant. Love the anime art on the walls. Definitely coming back here with friends!

Food was delicious, cute and quaint restaurant. Everything was very fresh and hot. Excellent friendly service. I'd def return and suggest this location to others.

Very good ramen! Got the spicy miso - would say it probably is better without the hot chili oil - I'd order the regular miso next time so I can taste it for real. Our server was awesome and super attentive. Dined there at 7:45pm on a Wednesday and it was super quiet, and chill. Anime playing in the background. Cool place, I'd def go back!

I went for the takeout miso ramen. It was packaged so that the noodles, meat and veggies were separate from the broth. The broth was tasty and the vegetables were fresh. Compared to other ramen I had it was okay, there was less pork in this ramen than I have had from other restaurants. This restaurant charges an extra $1.75 for the soft boiled egg which is a bit pricey. Other restaurants that serve ramen often include the egg but up-charge for an extra egg.

This is a good ramen spot. Pretty quiet when I entered early Fri evening. The walls have anime posters and they play kpop and jpop. The waitress was attentive and friendly. Got a tonkatsu ramen, which had a fairly light broth. Interestingly I believe they used Chinese cabbage in the broth, which added a nice crunch. Noodles were wavy and firm, which I liked. Got soft boiled egg as an add on, which was also good but not great. I wish the broth was a bit heavier flavor wise and chashu pork was decent but kinda thin. Got a hot green tea as well, which used a yamamotoyama tea bag; pretty good for $2. Overall, I'd recommend checking this place out, especially if you prefer a lighter ramen

I came by Shokudo to grab dinner with a couple friends! I love the general aesthetics of the restaurant from their wall art to the cat chopsticks holders!! I've been here before and have tried their ramen dishes which I've enjoyed. I was craving some udon this time so I got the shrimp tempura nabe udon while my friend ordered the chicken donburi. I liked the flavors of my udon and how crispy the shrimp tempura was even after sitting in the soup for a while. However, it didn't really feel like anything too special. My friend was super impressed with the donburi and really enjoyed it.

On a cold and rainy evening I found myself in the mood for Ramen. This place was nearby and has great reviews so I gave it a try. The ramen menu is short and sweet; nothing over-the-top or exciting. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. It came to me and looked delish. The broth was silky and divine. When the woman came over to ask me how it was, I told her the broth was delicious and she smiled. She said it's a 3-day process to make it. She was clearly very proud of her homemade broth. And she should be. Amazing. The noodles were fresh, the charsui was tender - it was a perfectly balanced bowl of ramen. I would definitely come again!

We're looking for a ramen place in Piscataway, NJ and our son told us to try Shokudo. My wife phoned them and asked if they're open for dine-in, they are. We went there during lunch and wow they're not busy. Just the four of us arrived for lunch. We ordered Edemame, tofu rice bowl, Vegie Ramen and Shrimp Tempura Nabe Udon. Our order came in fast and presented well. Ingredients are fresh and both our appetizer and entrees are delicious. Their serving staff is polite, respectful and kind. The place is very clean, well lighted and have nice decor.

I come here every time i have a rough day. I eat and all my problems go away. I am so grateful for the owner. Her goal is to do exactly what she's already doing, make her customers bad day a little bit better. The ambience as a whole is super cute! little cushions, kitty cat chopstick holders, the classic anime posters on the wall. It's all just so nice to sit and enjoy a nice hot meal. I will continue to come here to cheer me up!

I came here with some friends since this restaurant is near Rutgers. The restaurant is very clean and has it's cute aesthetics that remind me of home. One of the walls have a television that plays Naruto is the background which I thought was pretty interesting. The waitresses and staff members were all very welcoming and friendly. I ordered a Miso ramen when I went. Even though it was one of the simpler dishes, it took around 20-30 minutes to come out. All my friends already got their ramen and we're half finished, but I did not receive mine yet. A waitress came and apologized saying that they are making the ramen now and it will come out shortly. They didn't realize my dish was still missing. They were very apologetic, and gave a choice of a free side dish on the house. The ramen itself was alright, I definitely had better miso ramens elsewhere. Although the ramen doesn't look like a lot in the photo, the bowl was pretty steep. It was a lot, and I thought it was pretty worth it for the price. Overall, I like the vibes to this restaurant and I like how they noticed my ramen was missing and was very accommodating. I will definitely recommend this place and will come back in the future.

What a great Ramen spot. A total hidden gem in my book. I love that they have a super focused menu, not overwhelming to choose. The Tonkotsu was perfect - if I were to critique, would have hoped for thicker cuts of cha su pork, and that the soya egg was included - like most other Ramen spots in the area. The Karegare chicken was spot on, crisp, and flavorful - a great app. Definitely would be coming here again to try thier other menu items.

4 stars for tonkatsu ramen I ordered regular amount of ramen. The egg is optional for additional fee (i skipped it) Bone broth : very tasty, traditional and authentic umami flavor. I love ramen with good broth and not too salty and this one passed the taste test. The 2 pork belly pieces are thinly sliced and vert tender. I don't think they use MSG in the broth because I didn't feel very thirsty post meal. The noodle is al dente , just the way I like it. Free parking 5% discount if you pay in cash

This is the place to go for a restaurant with great tasting food, great decor, excellent customer service, great value and very good food. The gyoza was nicely steamed and pan fried, chicken karaage was dark meat that was nicely fried and good flavor (not seasoned as much as I prefer but good), the spicy ramen used thin noodles and were good, and the pork bowl was excellent with a very nice sauce with a hint of garlic and I think ginger. The pork bowl was a solid 5 and the other dishes were solid 4's. Definitely an overall nice experience.

What an adorable restaurant! The walls are decorated with classic Japanese anime/movie posters, and the restaurant as a whole has a very inviting and relaxed vibe to it. I tried the oyster ramen, which had a creamy and flavorful pork broth and included delicious little raw oysters in it to give it an even richer flavor. I also shared the karaage, agedashi tofu, and small chicken donburi with a few others, and we enjoyed them all! We particularly liked the agedashi tofu, which came with six fried tofu cubes in a light yuzu dashi broth all topped with bonito and seaweed. Also, the chicken donburi is definitely worth sizing up as an entree option - the small made for a good side to share, but I would happily eat a larger portion as a meal next time. Very affordable and tasty meal overall. Looking forward to trying other dishes here!

Stopped in for dinner last night for the first time since the restaurant changed over to Shokudo, unfortunately they still have the old sign from Soyokaze our front. Hopefully that doesn't confuse many people. We were immediately seated as they weren't very busy. For apps we started with some fried Gyoza $4 and Shumai $5 and also the Agedashi Tofu $5 The Pork Gyoza was my favorite 5 Fried dumplings served with a sweet and sour soy dipping sauce. The Shumai was good as well 6 pieces with a house made soy sauce. The Tofu I didn't personally try as I'm not a fan but my fiancé loved it and it did look delicious... 6 deep fried tofu pieces in Yuzu dashi with Katsuobushi, scallions, and Japanese mayo. We both had Ramen I had their special Tonkotsu Ramen $10.95 It had a rich and creamy pork broth that was very flavorful (I just added salt) The Pork was also very tasty and it had a nice amount of noodles. I think it was a good portion size. I would definitely order this again. My fiancé had the spicy Miso ramen $11.95 he said it was very good with the right amount of spice. He said he just missed the soft boiled egg that ramen normally comes with. I told him I saw it on the menu as an add on but he must have missed it. Either way he was very happy with his dinner. Plus I loved the cute little cat chopstick holders they used... I was tempted to take them home... ;) Definitely recommend...

My best-friend and I came here to try out this new restaurant. The staff is friendly and nice; they do not rush you to order your food. Edamame: It needs some work because it was too mushy and not enough salt. Spicy pork bun: Has enough flavor and just the right taste. Seaweed salad: tastes good just like any where else that has seaweed salad. Pork donburi rice: Pork is cooked right and delicious when mixed together. Tonkotsu ramen: Has just the right flavor and delicious in every way. The creamy broth gives it a kick and drank all of the soup base. Shoyu Ramen: This was very delicious to me and has just the right flavor as well. It definitely has the soy sauce taste in the soup base. Overall: This place was actually better than I had expected when my friend told me about it. I would probably come back again to try out the other ramen flavors.

Tiny unassuming ramen and udon place from the outside, went in looking for a snack. Ordered a small pork rice bowl, and was told it would take 15min. I wasn't allowed to wait indoors, but the staff was nice enough to come out and find me in my car to let me know it was ready. Pork was savory, grilled with the a solid touch of char, and was simply garnished with sesame seeds and nori over rice. Pretty tasty, and definitely warrants a future visit for ramen sometime (when it's not 95 degrees out). Sorry picture was half eaten... it was much prettier (even in takeout form) before I dived in.

When looking for Japanese on a random Friday, we were glad to find Shokudo on Yelp with some availability. They have all the right anime adorned on their walls, which is always a good sign. Given the Friday during lent, we went with the veggie mushroom bowls. Don't let the size fool you, they pack a punch and will leave you stuffed! Can't wait to try the ramen and udon next time!

A bit hard to find because the sign on the top of the restaurant is not Shokudo. We ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen with extra noodles, as well as the pork with rice and the fried chicken. Everything was delicious. Starting with the ramen - the serving size is small, but you can get it with the extra noodles (~$3 more), and other additions. The 24 hour broth was the best we have had. The pork was flavorful (it came with only 2 small slices...it would have been nice to have more. Ramen was perfectly done. They make up for the quantity with quality. The fried chicken is pieces of dark meat, nice flavor and comes with a dipping sauce. The rice bowl was also delicious. Prices were fair, but the portion sizes were a bit small. However, one of the best ramen we have had, so that more than offsets it.

A great place to go to for good ramen for a decent price! Came here for dinner one night with a small group of friends and it was such a nice time with the quiet ambiance, the great decor and the excellent service. There is a good amount of seating and did not have to wait long at all to be seated. They have a solid selection of different ramen broths and some additional toppings (for extra charge). The portions for the Ramen were plenty and especially appreciated the extra chili powder they provided with it! Definitely recommend if looking for a decent Ramen place around the area!

Not bad, the rice plate egg is soft but flavorless mainly texture, the chili on top is a nice spice but not too much, and the vegetables on top were a nice touch, chicken is nice and soft a little flavorless. The only issue is that there was too much rice. Pork buns were soft, nice amount of veggies, just a little bit too spicy leaves a burn. Pork is nice and soft fresh made. Overall Rice plate = good but just too dry needs a sweet sauce to it or any sauce and too much rice Pork buns = super soft and flavorful just a little too much spice

I've tried their Kimchi Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen, and Spicy Pork Donburi. Definitely one of the best ramen places near here. I highly recommend all three of these dishes if you are good with spicy foods. If not, it's okay because my friends seemed to have liked their other ramens! Keep in mind that egg costs extra at this place. They will always ask you after you order your ramen, and the egg will cost extra $1. The service is always good, and the place is really clean. Location is also convenient for people with cars at Rutgers, and parking is easy since this place is located in the plaza.

I'm gonna start by saying if you remember ramen noodle ( a ramen shop over by Middlesex county college that closed down earlier this year) you're going to get very familiar videos from this place, but way better. The menu is easy to understand so you can't stay looking forever at what you want to eat and the food itself didn't take long at all to be made and delivered. Anika( sorry it I spelled it wrong) made the experience so enjoyable and recommended me the chicken karaage and tonkatsku ramen and it was delectable and perfectly prepared. The ramen doesn't come with egg but it's 1$ extra and it's well worth it. The spicy sauce you order on the side is top notch nose-hair burning goodness and the sauce for the karaage chicken makes you want to keep eating more and more. I think I've found my permanent ramen spot again and thank god it's so close to home this time around. Side note they're playing anime or other things in the background on the tv so you can also enjoy that haha.

Stopped by Lowe's and while leaving needed to grab dinner. This place came up as close by so we decided to try it. Pork buns were really good with the right amount of spice. Ramen was pretty good, but I think the pork rice bowl was exceptional. I will definitely be back to try more menu items and will get the pork rice bowl again. The interior looked clean and service was fast and friendly.

Decor: nice, clean, and welcoming considering it's in a strip mall Service: friendly and prompt. Food takes a bit since they clearly are making it fresh so I have absolutely no problem waiting for my appetizer Food: apps- wow! Loved both!! karaage chicken spicy pork buns Ramen- nothing to write home about. Egg yolks were runny, definitely not how you want it in ramen. Pork had no flavor. Tonkatsu with egg Spicy miso with egg Definitely check it out! Support small businesses and local establishments prosper!

Can't decide which I want to use five stars for...the excellent Tonkatsu with pork ramen or the incredibly kind service. I have a few dietary restrictions, and the woman who was in charge [ I never got her name :-( ] very patiently walked me through what I could and could not safely eat. Everything was fresh and bright and delicious...the pork buns were a great treat. And then, because we had stopped in on our travels to NYC for Thanksgiving, she shared with us a container of her own homemade cranberry sauce "to bring tomorrow." What a wonderful experience!

This was me and my family's 1st time here . They are located in a small strip mall in Pway close to Walmart. It's a cute little spot with nice decor. It's not all that big ,but average to most Ramen spots I've been to. Now I have had many and I mean many bowls of Ramen and although they serve a decent bowl it I wasn't all that impressed with the bowls. Tonkatsu bowl wasn't that flavorful and the pork wasn't that "fall apart piece of meat" like it should be. The shio Ramen was ok but also lacked that salty flavor and the pork also was a issue. The Spicy Ramen was good and had a fair amount of heat . The oyster Ramen was pretty good with a fairly flavorful broth with some raw oysters on top. All in all it was fairly good place and a good addition to the area considering Pway doesn't have too many noodle spot.

Based on all the good Yelp reviews we decided to try Shokudo. A friend and a family member both tried the restaurant separately and gave me completely different reviews on this place so I knew I'd have to go see for myself. We arrived to the restaurant about 7:30 and it was pretty quiet - only two other small tables were seated. We were given water in a bottle and some menus. We decided on tonkotsu ramen (egg is an extra charge $1.95), tempura udon, donburi bowl, and chicken karage. Chicken karage was good, it's the only thing I truly enjoyed fully (it needed to be served with a lemon but it only came with a sauce). Pork donburi bowl was okay, probably the next best thing I had but I didn't love it. The "24 hour" tonkotsu ramen came out and it looked like the right color but upon further inspection the broth was thin and not as thick as other good tonkotsu broths. The flavor definitely lacked depth and thickness that true pork bone broths typically have. I was disappointed but it was certainly edible just not amazing. The udon was really quite disappointing. The tempura was absolutely by far the worst shrimp tempura I have ever had in my entire life. I've been to buffets that serve mass tempura better then this. I'm sad to say that this should not have been served. The batter was bouncey and soft and the outside had NO crispness to it. The inside was still kind of wet like the inside of an uncooked pancake. My husband felt that the waitress was avoiding us a bit because I wanted to report it but she did not check on us until the end of the meal and at that point she said she would let the chef know about my concern. I really wanted an explanation for this tempura that had absolutely no tempura flakes. It was dipped in unsweetened pancake batter at best. I won't be coming back based on this experience but I hope they continue to make improvements in the things that weren't right.

A friend ate here prior to my visit. The rave reviews word of mouth was not so appreciative of this place. So the expectation was set low to start. In this case, it was good because it was better, way better than what I was told. Shokudo was actually the birth child of the closing of Ichi Umi by Menlo Mall. After the owner closed Ichi Umi, a staff member (can't recall exactly what they did), decided to open this place and hired a lot of the former staff from Ichi Umi. I had the Oyster Ramen which was delicious and the oyster gave the ramen a slight sweet flavor. But the home run hitter here is the spicy pork. Either via Donburi (rice and meat pretty much) or the pork buns. It is amazing. Spicy in the Ramen world is hot like spicy spicy hot, but this is mild. Has a tang to it. Its sort asian pulled pork BBQ. I can eat this all day.

Central jersey needs a restaurant like this. I'm Chinese so I can say that this is not a Chinese or Korean styled ramen place in terms of flavor in style. It is very authentic ramen. The ambience is quite nice with references to Japanese anime/movies and even the chopstick holders are quite cartoon cats. The decor is well done. The lights are lampstyle lights and give it a great restaurant vibe. On to the food, the karrage chicken was nice and juicy but the batter was resemblance of doughnut dough. It's not a negative but I'm used to the fried chicken outside. Tonkatsu ramen was well done. Not overly salty until you finish the broth and realize you need more water. Chasu was delectable and noodles perfectly springy. A nice addition to the ramen game in central. Might be a good start as long as the food is consistent. So should you go there? Yes. I know I'll be back there as well.

I put the address into my Google Maps and I was a little confused when it said I had arrived at the destination. I didn't see a restaurant called "Shokudo" but I did see one called "Soyokaze" which threw me off a little bit. Why the difference in names? It wasn't until I got out of my car and walked closer to see a menu board that was sitting outdoors that had "Shokudo" on it. I came here on July 4th (it was a pretty humid & hot day) but there was no air conditioning inside the restaurant which I would've liked. The restaurant had a very Japanese-like interior with hints of Japanese culture here and there. For example, they had posters of some popular anime TV shows & movies and they were playing anime from Netflix on the TV. I ordered a Tonkonstu Ramen which sounded delicious at the time. The broth was cooked for 24 hours and it tasted great but the amount of ramen that came with it was minimal. I know ramen places are usually stingy with the amount of ramen that they give but I thought this was below the average amount. It came with 2 small pieces of pork which I thought was a little upsetting and it was mostly fatty pork. I wish they could've given 3-4 pieces at least or throw in half a egg or something. One good thing was that the pork was soft and it ALMOST melts in your mouth when you bite it, but not as soft as some other ramen places I've tried. After my meal, I wasn't full at all and still a little hungry. Luckily there was a Rita's Italian Ice next door where I got myself some dessert to fill me up. The service was great and the food came out quick but the price was almost up to par with the other ramen places around. There are a couple other ramen places nearby that I think might be a little bit more expensive but totally worth it.

I am not impressed easily by ramen spots and the bar is pretty low in my book for ramen spots but i finally found a place where the ramen and the soup were both amazing. This place absolutely sets a new standard and I am impressed. The people there work fast and are very well mannered. Portion is perfect. the soup flavors were very good and doesnt leave that nasty salty msg flavor after taste which 99% of the ramen places all do that. Also, dont forget to try their rice dishes!!! You won't regret your trip to this spot. Highly recommended - must try!!! Hurry!

My first time here incredible... but I must say that the quality of the food has severely declined since Covid. The Karaage Chicken should be chicken thigh. The meat is far more tender and it really brings out of the flavor of the sauce. They have since changed to breast which is significantly tougher and less flavorful. The tonkatsu ramen was good, but the pork was a straight up tragedy. 3 extremely thin slices of tough, dry "charshu" pork were served with the ramen.

So glad a ramen place opened up near my job! We were greeted immediately and sat wherever we wanted since it wasn't very busy. The menu was easy to follow even though myself and my coworker knew very little about ramen. Our server gave my coworker her favorite ramen and she wasn't disappointed. I had asked for no pork in my ramen since I'm allergic but was offered to substitute chicken instead. We also ordered shumai to share. We were surprised at how much ramen we actually got! I had their shoyu ramen which was very delicious and not over salted. The bamboo shoots and chicken were very tasty. I'm excited to come back and try other bowls. There are some vegetarian options as well, which is always a nice bonus!

Not a bad place to go to if you're craving for some ramen and dont want to deal with the long lines and long wait at rai rai ramen in route 27, and ramen nagomi in new brunswick. Clean place,friendly and quick service,affordable and right beside the rita's italian ice The sign outside still has "soyokaze" on it but go inside and you'll see Shokudo on the wall

This was pretty good. I recently started to enjoy ramen when we stumbled upon this place. The staff there was really friendly and accommodating while we were ordering and receiving food. We ordered pork buns as an appetizer and got spicy miso ramen and the Tonkotsu ramen. The pork buns were not what I was expecting but were still really good nonetheless (didn't get a chance to take a pic). My cousins (who were eating ramen for the first time) really enjoyed their Spicy Miso Ramen. The Tonkotsu ramen is kept for 24 hours before serving and apparently is a popular dish there. It really did have a creamy texture. All in all, great place to get Ramen.

This place is new, their outside sign hasn't been changed yet. Now I came late at night and we ordered 2 ramens. For its location I would say it's pretty good. Even though it's korean owned japanese ramen. So they serve kimchi with ramen. Weird but I like kimchi so don't matter.

This review was actually Pre-COVID where we had the opportunity to dine in this cute little pot. I went with my cousins and we each gotten the fried chicken as althea appetizers and each ordered ramen. The chicken was good and the sauce that came with it paired well. I had ordered the spicy miso ramen which was okay. Not the best ramen i've had but it had satisfied my cravings. The prices here is average but the location makes it so amazingly convenient for me. This is a nice addition to the mall here as ramen is sooo underrated.

Loved the dumplings! Food is great and homemade ordered from here 6 times always enjoyed.
