Authentic pork ramen, pork belly was crisp and soft inside. Nice portion, hearty soup in a cold summer.

Great fusion ramen in a traditionally hipster setting. Tried the shoyu and beef brisket ramen - interesting and fitting combinations. Shabby pork bun (pork and hoisin with gimmicks). Worthwhile trying overall, almost a five star, if only they don’t price it like avocados in a cafe.

Loved this little Smith St treasure. Very welcoming staff good music and an awesome salmon rice bowl, very well constructed and yummy to the last mouthful

The pork belly ramen with yuzu oil was sooooooooooo gooooddd! The soup has many layers of tastes, not too oily, noodle hardness & thickness was perfect. Ugh wanna have it again before I leave Melbourne!

The best ramen i have ever had! Went back for 2nds and 3rds on our trip to Melbourne. Cannot recommend more! Its worth the drive but for us was only a 2 min walk down the street.

A great western take on ramen, would recommend going here for something different. Weirdly, the milkshakes are the best thing there. Give it a go!

Great Ramen. No bookings. Roll up early or be prepared to wait. On street dining is an option if it's not too cold!

Bloody good ramen. Would be 5 stars but sometimes you can’t get a seat here for a fair while which is a real bubble burster

Ramen is great, operating hours suck. 12: 00 - 2: 30? Is the business working for me, or do I have to do work for the business?

Had to wait 15 minutes on Saturday night for a spot for 2 but once in ramen came out pretty quickly. Very delicious. A little on the rich side but meat quality was great and food tasted fantastic.

I always try to fit a visit in to Shop Ramen every time I come to Melbourne. The buns are awesome, my favourite is the beef brisket. The signature Pork Ramen is great. Broth is light and tasty, not too salty. I love the fit out and staff at friendly. If it's cold or cold and rainy, get in early (they open at 5: 30pm) as it starts to fill up after 6 from my experience.

Omg.yep, japan quality ramen. So it's either this place, or hundreds of dollars in airfares to get equivalent quality.

A lot of my friends recommended me this place and it's definitely legit. We were there at 7.30 pm and it's super busy so we had to wait outside. After 15 minutes and then we got a table. I ordered the kimchi chicken ramen and it's so good and worth the wait. Super recommended if you're into Japanese food.

I didn't enjoy the ramen here, it didn't quite have the authentic ramen taste and was quite westernized. And also quite pricey compared to other ramen restaurants

Pork belly ramen.what more can I say. Hands down the best ramen in Melbourne. Would be nice if they went back to the old recipe from 2017. Maybe I will find it in their new Shop Ramen in Preston! Yay!

Amazing Ramen. The best I've had outside of Japan and I actually would consider moving to Melbourne just to be closer to this little gem. The food is phenomenal and the waitress behind the counter was lovely!

Loved this place. It has always been busy when I've walked past it but finally made it in and got a seat before the lunch rush. Good service, small menu, but really nice food. We had the chicken and the pork ramens and both were delicious. Will definitely be coming back here!

Service was okay. If you've been to Japan and are after authentic flavoursome Ramen, look elsewhere. Broth was watery and thin. The pork and egg were bland. Also expensive. Won't be back.
