    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Joe H.

    Ok this is was a last minute stop, it was late around 10pm. And a few us wanted some good Ramen so we stopped. The vibe is total anime enjoyed it very chill. First time here I had the Tonkotsu Ramen with Tofo, yellow noodles and shrimp delicious and we also had the Tori Ramen very good. Waitresses was helpful with the menu options a must try if you're in the area. Parked in the back btw was safe.

    This place looked so cool. Anime decor and projectors of anime on the back. However, you cant see hear the anime or anything like that. So, it is there mostly to give you the anime vibes. It's not small inside it's actually spacious for a ramen place. It was definitely unique knowing the place is 24/7. I tried a few of their appetizing one being the gyoza (they had chicken or pork, I got chicken). The gyoza was really flavorful and just dripping with sauce. I am hoping to try their ramen next time. Service was decent I did wait awhile to get refills on my water and for the check. I don't feel like it was a busy night either. I did wait to get seating for 30 mins but I actually think that's a short wait time for them. I think this place probably always has a wait time. They have seating outside where you can wait and then they text you when there's a seat.

    Quick and Simple Review - can't go wrong with 24hr ramen! Parking: horrible and tiny! Might find parking in the neighborhood. 3/10 Drowning Gyoza: delish 8.5/10 Kore-age: covered in gochujang honey sauce, it's mostly sweet with no spice. 8.5/10 Surf and Turf: boyfriend got that and he really liked it, expect opt out the ginger because its too overpowering. The tempura was goooooood! 9/10 Luffy: eh it was okay, the steak was hella well done. 6/10 Shinigami: pretty solid and pretty spicy!! 9/10 Kimchi Fried Rice: eh it was also okay. WAAAAY too much ginger and green onions. Would opt out next time! 6/10 Overrall: 8/10 Recommendations: Gyoza, Kore-age, Shinigami, and extra Shrimp Tempuras

    Definitely recommend this spot for ramen, although the parking spot is small the service is amazing, space was clean and anime decorated which I loved most. Will be coming back soon to try more of their food because it indeed filled me up!

    Not your average Ramen place because its more of a fusion type of vibe. Very quick service, nice dim place if you like that type of vibe. Food was very good and flavorful. I got the Surf and Turf and was able to find it quite tasty.

    This ramen restaurant is the only one I know in Houston that is open 24 hours a day. There is limited parking available out front and some towards the rear. The vibes are very casual with an anime sort of theme inside. It is quite dim lit and not too noisy the times I've been, mostly on early weekday evenings. Service can be a hit or miss, but the wait for the actual order to come to the table is longer than expected especially when the house isn't packed. While the menu is fairly small and mainly ramen, they offer some rice dishes and your average Japanese style apps including edamame, gyoza, and karaage, and some fusion items like nachos and tacos. The bar menu is alright and they offer happy hour specials too. We've tried a few of their apps and found them to be very mid. Without sauces, bland. We've also ordered ramen as build-your-own as well as signature bowls. The ramen noodles (yellow which is part of the base price, spinach +2, or konjac +4) were soft and slightly chewy, what a good bounce! Choosing the broth is where it can make it or break it... I found lots of flavor in their miso (creamy pork broth with slight heat) but not so much in the other options. Where it can really add up is the toppings. Most vegetable toppings are roughly a dollar while additonal protein is $3-6, but the quality is not all that great. For instance, the pork and chicken were more on the dry and tough end, whereas the typical pork chashu in ramen is tender and moist...maybe they got overcooked? Same with the eggs...not much flavor and not with the soft yolky center. While I don't consider this restaurant as an authentic ramen spot nor a true Japanese restaurant (I don't think that's what they're trying to be either), I want to think Shokku is a place where friends can hangout and enjoy a warm bowl of noodles and a drink even when it's 3am. I'm not 100% opposed to coming back if friends really really want to, but it is not my top choice because of all the other great ramen spots in town.

    Surf & Turf Ramen

    I had ordered the Surf & Turf Ramen and the Shrimp Tempura tasted like frozen food. I had also tasted my wife's ramen and both were average taste. The ambiance is decent for us having a very late dinner (about 11pm). There are unlimited of better ramen spots though, especially in H-Town. I believe the overall appeal is that it is open 24/7 making it ideal as a last case resort for ramen, or just food in general for late night eating out with friends. They also do play multiple anime shows at the same time but it's mixed with loud American music..

    Came back after awhile and to find out food wasn't as good as I remember. Price does increase quite a bit. Service was good but my ramen was too salty for my taste

    Came by Shokku Ramen on a Sunday evening for some ramen and sat at the bar for quicker service. I don't enjoy any ramen spots in Houston so I didn't set high hopes for Shokku. The bartender was really nice and attentive, which made the experience smooth from the start. I ordered the vegan ramen with spinach noodles, and my friend went with ramen that had a vegan broth, chicken, and spinach noodles. Both bowls were decent and relatively satisfying. The only downside was that it was so cold inside the restaurant that I couldn't fully enjoy the meal. I was ready to head out sooner than I would've liked. I even asked if they could turn the air down a bit but they couldn't. Aside from that, it's a solid spot with good service and tasty options, especially if you're looking for vegan-friendly ramen.

    First time at SR with my family to celebrate my birthday. We went late at night and it wasn't as busy but got very busy after we were seated. The hostess was nice. Our server was amazing! Very attentive and patient with us and helpful with suggestions. I ended up trying the December special ramen and it was delicious. The food was great, we are definitely coming back to try more items. Loved the atmosphere, very relax and inviting. Definitely give them a try!!

    Dempsey Roll
    Eddie M.

    Service was top notch with Mari behind the bar. Very attentive and helpful explaining all of the questions I had about the menu, even though She was managing the bar and tables near the bar area! This place is apparently open 24/7 for the dine inn, cool anime ambiance and decor. I tried one of their January seasonal drinks called the Dempsey Roll 10/10 reminded me of an old fashioned but with an orange bitter twist!! I started with the pork tacos which were small but mighty, pork was soft and the taco shell was not greasy!! I ordered their spiciest ramen the Shinigami, don't worry the spicy sauce comes on the side allowing you to make your own spice level. It came with pork and fried chicken and was definitely the best thing I had! Definitely the place to come check out when you're In the mood for ramen. Did I mention they have happy hour and reverse happy hour Monday tru Friday!!!

    Chante N.

    the draw of this ramen spot is the fact that it's open 24hrs. the overall flavor of the ramen is solid, but when the server brought my ramen, it was pretty cold. it appeared to be a decently clean establishment, the service was great and the server was very personable. definitely added to the late night option list! bonne appétit

    Shokku tacos
    John W.

    I actually had a good experience at Shokku ramen. A few notes: Food was really delicious. I got the Shokku tacos and they were really delicious. I'd 100% get those again. I can't speak for the ramen but I was definitely impressed by my tacos. I thought the vibe was nice here. It was cool that they had anime playing on the walls. I will say, I wish it was a bit more intimate of an environment. It was a bit loud inside. Overall, this was a fun and unique place to stop. Glad I checked it out.

    Parking is pretty terrible here. Try going on a weekday or earlier in the day on a weekend. You could also wait until it dies down.

Flying V Harvest was fantastic. I drank that broth like I just came out of the Sahara. So good. The Impossible meat fusion is a funny add but a good protein bump. It was a few days ago but I think I'm still full from that ramen bowl. The vibe is modern high ceiling bumping music; my in-laws found it to be too loud. I think they are giving you an excuse to lean in and get a little closer to your companion. The vibe is chic yet also casual so bring whoever you want but this would work for date night. The font on the menus is squint inducing so do your research ahead of time or prepare to spend more time perusing the menu than usual, especially with the dim lighting. They offer thin or thick noodles and can mix some broth options to adjust spice level. Drinks- the smoked in front of your face whiskey is a treat and a show. Solid spot. No regrets. Salivating at the thought of the next visit.

Their ramen is flavorful and solid and their service is consistent. Parking: parking is free in the garage around the corner from JINYA. We went during the week and the garage was not packed. There's also paid street parking around the restaurant that you can find but look for signs to know when you have to pay and when you don't. Service: service here is very good. They have an army of waitresses and waiters who check on tables and we never had to ask for refills or never had to flag down someone. Our food came out in a timely manner. The one thing I will say about service is the appetizers we ordered came out right before our ramen so we had all of our food at one time which was a lot. I wish they would've spaced out the food timing a little more. Ambiance: JINYA has a modern interior and open concept. They have tables, booths, and 2 big community tables in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant playlist is hip and modern. The inside of the restaurant is dimly lit so if you have bad eyesight, get ready to use your flashlight to read the menu. Food: we ordered two ramens and the gyoza and edamame. Gyoza: these were fried well and had a gyoza sauce that came on the table. The wrapper was thin and they were not too oily. We would order this again. Edamame: this was typical edamame. Nothing too special. Would not get this again when we come back. Creamy Classic Tori-Paitian: this is a chicken ramen with wavy noodles that came with fried enoki mushrooms, chicken chasu, butter, spinach and a corn rib. This ramen was rich in flavor and had so many fun, delicious toppings. The corn run was grilled nicely and I wish I had more of them in my bowl. I'm a sucker for enoki mushrooms and this did not disappoint. I took the enoki mushrooms out of the ramen immediately so they didn't get soggy fast and that was the move if you want the mushrooms to stay crunchy. The chicken broth was rich and light which was a great combo. I finished this bowl to the last drop. JINYA Chicken Ramen: my girlfriend got the chicken ramen with a side of bamboo. Warning on the bamboo: the bamboo comes dressed in sesame oil and sole hot oil so they are a little spicy. The chicken ramen broth was once again rich with flavor and light. The chicken chase was good and this ramen comes with thin noodles instead of wavy noodles. Overall JINYA hits the spot when craving ramen or some hot soup on a cold day. The chicken broth is legit and I will be closing back to try the pork broth soon. My only qualm with JINYA is the price at over $17 per bowl of ramen. There are cheaper ramen places but JINYA flavor makes up for the priciness.

However, since crawfish season is one of my favorite times of the year, I had to come back to try their limited edition ramen. Just like my first visit, the staff were extremely friendly, the food came out incredibly quickly, and the overall experience felt comforting and welcoming. I ordered the seasonal bowl, The Crawmen, which came with crawfish tonkotsu broth, andouille sausage, bayou butter, corn, and peppers. While the bowl was clearly inspired by a crawfish boil, I felt like it could have leaned even further into those flavors with more crawfish and a stronger boil seasoning overall. The ramen was definitely delicious, but the broth did not quite have enough crawfish boil flavor to fully separate it from their standard tonkotsu ramen. At times, it mostly tasted like the original broth with andouille sausage added in. Even so, it was still an enjoyable bowl of ramen, though I would probably stick to one of their regular menu options over this seasonal special. My mom and I also shared the Karaage, which arrived very quickly while still being piping hot, crispy, and juicy inside. On the other hand, I would personally skip the Sakura Sweet Tea and Strawberry Yuzu Lemonade in the future since they mostly tasted like their regular counterparts without adding anything particularly unique. Overall, I still really enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and reliable quality of this place, especially the ramen and karaage. While the seasonal bowl did not fully live up to its concept for me, the experience itself was still enjoyable enough that I would gladly return again.

I was seriously tempted to order another plate since it only came with 6-7 pieces. Next, all the ramens came out. I got the shoyu truffle which I enjoyed a lot. I liked that you can taste the truffle flavor without it being overpowering. Also liked that the broth itself wasn't as salty as some ramen places.

My comment still stands :) *Entrees: 7.5/10 I am a big unagi fan and was really excited to try the one here. Unfortunately the mountain of sauce on top was not good therefore making this a solid 7/10. My husband got the spicy chicken one (not quite sure exactly which one) but he really enjoyed it. 9/10 I got the Spicy Miso with a side of ribeye. I feel like we've had better ramen elsewhere but this was still a solid contender. And the steak was actually really good! It was super soft. Overall 7.8/10 Lastly we received a yakult when checking out. This was a nice touch to end the night! Overall review: would only come back for the ramen broth and the meats! Skip the appetizers!!
