Shujinko Elizabeth

A must if you love or even just like Ramen, your world will be changed! Absolutely incredible creamy, fresh, filling and bursting with flavour!! It was about 10pm, so it’s open late, while the rest of the city is closing down. The lovely guy let us in and we got a seat despite it being very busy, and the food came so quickly!! We sat and watched the busy and compact kitchen do their thing and was amazed. I loved the whole experience!

Yummmmmmm. Chicken broth based ramen, with options to have pork or chicken cha-shu. The first sip you take gives this big impact of chicken flavour. Its thick and hearty. I prefer this over the Hakata chicken ramen at QV, a couples blocks away. They're cha-shu is charred and yummmmm. I got the spicy signiture ramen. I will come back to try their vegan variety which looks equally as delish. Don't be confused by the Shujinko branding outside of the shop.

This little dive on Elizabeth Street is a real charmer. Long, narrow with it's dark wood and galley style seating, it reminds me a lot of a Ramen bar I used to visit in Shibuya, Tokyo. There are so many Ramen bars these days that they have to make an effort to stand out and this one does with the excellent and earthy black garlic Ramen I had.

Loyal shujinko ramen customer on Russell and glen here. I ordered the spicy signature ramen with charshu and roast tomato. Really good ramen with a couple of minor issues.. 1. 3 to 4 noodles end bit were clump together, once on my first bite and another time half way through. Probably is from how the ramen is made/ cut or they didn’t stir to seperate the noodles out. Not a good way to start my ramen. 2. The way that the egg was cut via a string actually cause some deformation. Visual not appealing but it was delicious. Other than the above two issues, broths was flavourful and good amount of spice! Would have it again but a bit disappointed with the clumpy noodles. / side note, the noodles seems to be different to the one in Russell and glen. I prefer the other one.

Lunch @ParcoRamenYatai and the Black Truffle Ramen looked rather appealing. Truffle and shiitake broth with chicken base, topped with chashu pork, shiitake mushroom, and dashi marinated egg A bold flavoured thicker creamy chicken broth oozing flavour with the truffle very prominent, this is such a delight to eat. The ramen egg noodles are delicious and I enjoyed the egg and chashu pork. Versions I've eaten previously have thicker slices of pork so you may wish to order extra as there are 3 thin bacon like slices and you may be wishing for more after eating them. Delicious satisfying lunch. #Japanesefood #chashupork #ramennoodles #truffle #broth #egg #foodie #melbournefood #melbournecbd @zomatomelb

Ordered takeaway 2 signature ramen, one of them have a layer of thick dark oil on top which made the ramen looked really dark, the other one is normal colour. The portion wise is really poor as well, gave us chicken instead of chashu when we didn’t as for chicken. The soup is overly salty as well, I know ramen soup are normally salty but this is overly salty. :(
