Shinjuku Ramen

Beyond ramen, the mackerel sets and agedashi tofu are highly praised, reflecting a more complete Japanese menu than a typical ramen-ya. The cozy atmosphere and attentive service come up in reviews almost as often as the food.

• The Marine King was absolutely amazing — smooth, well-balanced, every ingredient prepared to a very high standard. A solid 10/10.

• The tonkotsu is excellent, with a great marinated egg — it tastes just like it does in Japan.

• The broth was rich and flavorful, like it had been simmering for hours; the noodles had the perfect texture and the pork was tender.

• The black garlic ramen was incredible, and finding a shrimp ramen this well executed was such a treat.

• Their broth is really special, and the fried chicken is crispy and juicy.

• The mackerel plate and the agedashi tofu were phenomenal.

• Third time here and still not the last — the tonkotsu is my go-to and hits every single time.

• The atmosphere is homestyle and cozy, with lovely wooden utensils and cups.

• The Marine King on a rainy evening was like a hug in a bowl, and the head-on prawns were sweet and perfectly cooked.

• The service is warm — always refilling water and tea — in a super cute, relaxing little shop.
