Ramen Shogun Ultimo
Tonkotsu. Small and unpretentious, Tokyo-style · 455 reviews on Google
A small, hidden spot in Ultimo with a broad menu (tonkotsu, tori paitan, shoyu, miso, cold soba) and the feel of a neighbourhood Tokyo counter. Some customers note thin chashu portions and one incident of a vegan item served with mayonnaise by mistake.
The highlight
Creamy, well-balanced tonkotsu broth, with a generous Kani Miso (crab ramen) that customers describe as a surprise.

Comments inspired by 455 reviews
-
The broth is perfectly balanced — not too thick, not too thin — and full of flavor, with satisfyingly chewy noodles and tender, well-seasoned chashu.
-
I had the kani (crab) miso ramen; I lived in Tokyo for 30 years and never had ramen with this much crab — about one and a half crabs, and the flavor was just perfect.
-
You can immediately tell how carefully the toppings were prepared — the seasoned egg was absolutely outstanding.
-
Really have to recommend the pork gyoza: thin and crispy on one side, juicy inside.
-
The restaurant is clean, quiet and welcoming, perfect for a comforting solo lunch or a casual dinner.
