This one surprised me. Although expectations were high based on the reviews. I am not a huge Ramen guy. The space is cramped if the patio isn't open, so we decided to get our dinner to go. The counter was very helpful with suggestions for our son too. But WOW!! The seasoning, the quality of the meat, and the ingredients were top-notch. My chicken Ramen bowl was amazing, the quality of the seasoning and cook on the chicken was perfect. Delicious and fall-apart tender. My son had some of the fried chicken and it was just as good!!!!! I find it hard to believe they have any duds on the menu after this first experience. read more

Skully's - Chicken Ramen bowl - Ramen Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Want some Killer Ramen? This is the place. Yes the price is high for ramen but the quality is well worth it. The ingredients and quality of service are incredible. We were blown away by our meal. We ordered ramen (beef and Pork Belly), an order of spring rolls split between us and we also split the shrimp Katsu sliders. You get 2 in each order. The spring rolls were incredibly favorable and flagrant. The dipping sauce was unique. Don't sleep on that sauce. And don't skip dipping your spring roll in your ramen sauce, it's good. The katsu slider was great, perfectly sauced and portioned. Great and krispy, really offsets the ramen. The ramen broth is rich and flavorful. The only note I could think of is that the jammy egg with the ramen would be better if you had the option for a soy egg but that is just a personal preference because I love them with my ramen. But the ramen was amazing. Wish I lived closer. Will be back for sure. Wish it was warmer so I could sit outside on the patio. The inside was cozy and great, read more

Skully's reminded me of the old days of 30 years ago. It was 30 years ago that I swore that I would never eat Asian food in a non-Asian city when on a road trip. I get it. They were once a food truck that made it big by making and now has a brick and mortar in this hipster part of Springfield. I wanted to order the pork belly, but they were out. Instead, I ordered their fried chicken bowl with fried rice. Their fried rice was greasy. The fried chicken was bland. I asked for a honey gochujang sauce on the side. They forgot it. I expected better. Silly me for trying Asian food in a non-Asian city. read more

Actually, honestly, I returned, and I'm just unimpressed. Too bad they got rid of the udon noodles. My wife, our 4-year-old and I each got a meal and one drink. Almost $80. Ramen was bland. Meat was poor quality and mostly waste fat in my pork. My son's fried chicken was so dry you would have thought they cooked it in a dehydrator. And my wife's meal was just "meh." For ~$80? Not worth it. read more

Cashier was rude, nearly 20 dollars for a bowl that was subpar. Very disappointed in many things here but not sure if they are still in business or not. read more

Small business start-up as a food truck, now moved to a location in quaint downtown area. Fast casual experience, order food and drinks at the window, and they deliver food to outdoor tables. Known for their Ramen and Wok Bowls, plus some good Wings. Enjoyable food and relaxing meal location on a sunny day, or takeout and eat elsewhere. Overall, solid 4.0 experience for food, friendly service and casual ambience. Expect to pay $11-16pp for an entree, plus drinks. Today we tried a Shroom-n-fu Ramen bowl and a Szechuan Garlic Wok Bowl. Both were excellent, tasty and filling! You can add your level' (1-5) of spiciness to the Wok Bowl along with a protein choice as upgrade (cost) of fried tofu, smoked pork, pork shoulder, shitakes, chicken, or egg - delicious! The Ramen bowl came with broth on side so you can add as much or little as your desire. I doubled up on my protein with both Tofu and Pork shoulder, yum! And if you want a smaller portion, you can share either of these dishes for a lighter lunch. We also shared a starter of Red Curry Dry rub wings and Pineapple Habanero wings. They were both very good, and would make a nice compliment to a cold craft brew. Check out Skully's if you like this type of comfort food, and also want to support a local biz. ENJOY! read more

The service was friendly and fast! The food really left me disappointed. I got the shroom n fu, and the broth was nothing special. It left an oily coating in my mouth. I got a soft boiled egg as well, and it had virtually no flavor. The tofu tasted like old fryer oil. Overall, I was not impressed. There are other ramen choices in town I'd prefer. read more

I've been eyeing this place for a while and finally tried it last night. The dining room was closed but there is a decent amount of seating outside. We walked up to the window to order. My husband got the pork on pork ramen, and I got the smoked pork wok bowl with Szechuan garlic sauce and lo mein noodles. There are many ways to get a wok bowl with several types of meat/protein, sauces, and starches (noodles and rices). They had sold out of quite a few things on their menu, but we went Friday at 7pm, so that makes sense. We waited for maybe 10 minutes before our meals were ready. Everything is in takeout containers due to Covid. They had the broth for the ramen in a separate container than the rest of the ramen, that way nothing gets soggy. My wok bowl came with yum yum sauce on the side as well. My bowl looked amazing and had tons of veggies. You can't tell from the photos, but there was also tons of noodles in both our bowls. The smoked pork was really great, and they didn't skimp on it. I devoured my bowl and cannot wait to try something else. The Szechuan sauce had a nice heat but wasn't too spicy, and all the veggies paired together really nicely. My husband's ramen was fabulous and had so much umami from the pork and the broth. Even in the heat of the summer, I would order that ramen! I am so excited this place exists and I can't wait to try more of their creations! read more

I ordered the pork on pork with an added soft-boiled egg. It was a decent bowl of ramen. I'm giving it a 4/5 just because I can't give it 3-1/2 stars. I was expecting more than fast-food ramen served in plastic bowls. I had to mix the broth in with the other ingredients. As a result, it wasn't as hot as I would have liked. The noodles were a bit thicker than ramen noodles. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would definitely come here again. read more

I had the chickwick ramen with tofu subbed in and it was the best fried tofu I've ever had. The ramen itself was good enough but I trust my friends' opinions more, and they all love Skully's ramen. read more

Skully's - a bowl of noodles and meatballs - Ramen Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

We tried this spot on a summer Thursday evening. You walk up to the Royal, and we ordered through a walk-up window. They have a great selection of ramen, bowls and apps. I tried the pork shoulder bowl with rice and a soft-boiled egg. Sauce came on the side, which was nice as you can decide how little or how much you wanted on it. I also tried the kimchi fries which were so delicious. Service was super fast and the food tastes so fresh. They also offer a Keto bowl option which veggies instead of a rice or noodle. Overall, a great spot to hang out outside on a patio to enjoy a fresh meal with friends. read more

not real ramen and $50 for 2 to go plastic bowls as we were eating their. not worth $10. Don't waste your time or money.

Skully's is a classic Pickwick neighborhood location. Their hours can be a bit weird, and they often run out of things for unknown reasons, but when you can get your hands on their food it's great every time. I have tried most items and all are delicious! I love the dry rubbed wings, the pork on pork ramen, the shroom n' fu ramen, the wok bowl with fried tofu and noodles, and the wok bowl with friend tofu and rice. Their fried tofu is excellent, this is the only place I ever order tofu. Their yum yum sauce is also exceptionally good. I love to grab their food and sit at Tie and Timber to enjoy. Overall great place! read more

I went here today and got the pork on pork ramen, kimchi fries, and wok bowl with chicken. From first glance the ramen looked very good with a lot of pork, but the noodles were rather flavorless and the ramen broth was so oily I couldn't even taste it. The kimchi fries were very good but too salty. The wok bowl had minimal flavor and the noodles had the dry flavor of panda express. We spent $42 dollars and not really worth the price. The service was really quick and nice! Food came out warm and fast. Though the kimchi fries were probably the only reason why I'd come back. read more

You need to try it! The kimchi fries will have me GOING BACK!!! Just perfectly seasoned and the right amount of heat. And half an order is enough for myself. Their noodles and vegetables with pork were also SO GOOD! Full of flavor and a lot of food. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. They had blue crab Rangoon as a special tonight. read more

Hands down the best ramen in Springfield. I have tried another authentic ramen place that opened up this past year in Springfield and it was not as good as skullys, not to mention their food was more expensive and their serving sizes were smaller. I crave skullys every week and have to limit myself how much I go there. I hope skullys will expand into more than just a good truck soon! read more

Their ramen is AMAZING!!! I am not a fan of kimchi but their kimchi fries were my favorite. Their ramen tasted authentic and comes with a variety of veggies and I love it, im yet to try the wings. The walk through window is so convenient considering my car broke down so I have to walk with my baby in her stroller. They have good attitudes and get your food out quickly. One of my favorite places read more

I've only ever gotten the fried rice bowl with chicken here but the chicken is so good I had to write a review. It honestly makes me angry that every other restaurant I go to has chicken that isn't remotely as good as this. Portions are just right when you are famished, employees are super friendly, and food comes out pretty quick. No complaints. read more

I had the three star chicken ramen, and it was so good. Everything was very flavorful and spicy, and we waited about 5-10 minutes for our food for 3 people. Really good for ordering at the window and eating outside. read more

We grabbed a couple veggie bowls yesterday while at White River; the food was amazing!! Very generous portions, and a very responsible price for the amount of food. The sticky rice was some of the best I've had, and the sauce they use is very original and flavorful. The veggies are extremely fresh, and the presentation is fabulous. Oversized bowls that are also very modern. They definitely throw their own zing on things. This will not be the only time we eat here!! Especially now that it's directly behind our favorite brewery! read more

Skully's was a good experience on many levels, most of those levels were unique in the best possible way. The food is not only vegetarian friendly, but has intriguing combinations of ingredients and flavors! Vegetarian Ramen is hard to get right, and they do a solid job. Their Twin Peaks inspired menu items as well as other quirky names are a good touch. You won't find another food truck like this one anywhere near Springfield! My only reason for 4 instead of 5 is the location leaves something to be desired and a few minor issues on the night I picked up my order. They were out of many items even though it was fairly early in the evening, and the food took 20+ minutes to get out the window to me. I was, of course, starving when I went, so they may get to 5 stars by the next visit, as I'll be back again. read more

First time trying Skullys and it was awesome!! Husband and I split the kimchi fries. Then he had pork on pork ramen and I had the chicken ramen. Both were delicious! Definitely plenty of food and lots of flavorful combinations. Can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu. read more

I was refused service to their outdoor walkup window for no mask. I am not able to wear a mask as I have trouble breathing and ultimately I'll develop palpitations. I am considered exempt under the Springfield Mask Ordinance, but they refused stating they have "their own policy". I will spend my money elsewhere. I recommend going to Karai or Kuma instead. read more

If you are into food trucks, Asian food, or just good food in general you HAVE to try Skully's. Joe and Laura, the owners, are so friendly and welcoming. Not only is the food reasonably priced, it tastes AMAZING and you get a ton of food. Please, do yourself a favor and GO TO SKULLY'S!! (Btw, there were only 4 people eating all this food, plus an order of curry fries not pictured because they were eaten too fast. GO SEE THEM!) read more

I have been here multiple times and the food is good but who ever runs the logistics for this truck does not do a good job. They are always out of something on the menu no matter what time of day you go. I went today and they didn't have any propane to run the truck... Really the thing you need to cook food your out of. I want to go to this place but I have a lunch break like everyone else who has a job. So I can't justify going there and hoping they have food on the menu or that the kitchen can even run. Figure out your logistics and I will go back. read more

I actually ate lunch here last week and forgot to post a review. I had the pork on pork ramen, it was so good! Really fresh veggies, the tasty bits of pig, really perfect on a cold day. This will definitely be in my regular lunch rotation of places to go. read more

Really good food and friendly service with outdoor seating. I definitely suggest trying the kimchi fries--they're addictive!

I was in Springfield for business. Stopped by today for dinner. I ordered more items than I needed so I could try various menu items. Loved everything and ate more than I should have. The presentation of the pork on pork was great and it tasted even better. It's a little out of the way but it was well worth the trip. read more
