    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    This place was so much fun for my family. Everyone loved the food and drinks. - Three children pose in front of a mural at Skully's, featuring a skull with ramen noodles, in an outdoor setting.

    We enjoyed every minute inside this place. Food was great and everyone can't wait until we go back.

    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.

    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!

    This was my first time visiting Springfield, and I didn't expect to find a place like this…read more The restaurant has a really fun Japanese anime vibe, with Totoro decor and even lucky cat (maneki-neko) touches throughout, which I absolutely loved. It honestly felt like the owner might be Japanese or Chinese, because the whole atmosphere was thoughtfully done and very authentic. The service staff were all friendly and welcoming, and overall the dining experience was great. We did have a delay with one of our dishes (waited over 30 minutes), but the manager noticed the issue right away, took responsibility, and handled it really well. They even offered us complimentary spring rolls, which I really appreciated. That kind of attentiveness and care makes a big difference. The food was solid and enjoyable--of course, you can't compare it to bigger cities, but for Springfield, this is definitely a great find. They also have a robot that helps deliver food, which was such a fun and unique touch. I'm here for work, traveling from out of state, and we actually ended up coming back four days in a row--which probably says everything. You can really tell the owner put a lot of heart into this place--from the decor to the overall experience. I appreciate being able to enjoy a different culture like this, especially in a smaller city. Springfield has given me a really great impression and some wonderful memories. Would definitely recommend

I see staff talking and hardly any tables occupied. I've been going here for years and I used to love this place but now it's just not worth the wait and money. That's my only problem with this place 3 tables taken in the whole place and I get my water after waiting 30 minutes after being seated, and I'm the last to be helped after bigger parties who arrived after me. When I come with 2 other people the waiters are on top of it with service but if it's me alone I hardly even see a waiter. They're chasing tippssss imo. This is just a personal opinion that doesn't contribute to my stars because I know some people find it really cool but the robot is creepy and what if someone needs to ask something when the drinks come? Can't ask a robot and then they have to wait 20+ minutes for a waiter to come by.

It was outstanding! I had the Chashu Bun as an appetizer and the Cheeky Ramen as my main. They were both off the chart tasty. Since I was sitting at the bar which is adjacent to the sushi chef station and right outside the kitchen, I saw many delicious looking plates go out. If I lived in Springfield, MO, I would be a regular. Visit this restaurant. You won't regret it!

I got the Hotstone Bibimbap (suggested by the lady who took my order because it continues to cook when served, making the rice crispy and vegetables hot. I chose white rice topped with bulgogi and spicy shrimp. For sauce, I chose Sesame and Kochi to a little add extra kick. I had the kimchi put to the side. It also came with a miso soup . This whole combination was so delicious. Stayed hot the entire time and was plenty enough to share. The Yaki Soba, which is a noodle dish, was also very flavorful, came out fresh and hot. The Japchae was equally delicious and full of flavor. The sweet potato noodle of this dish was different, but still pretty tastey. I recommend leaving this for the experienced eaters. Lastly, we tried the kimbap. It was a typical kimbap, nothing stood out. Everything came out fresh, cooked to order, and hot. The price for everything was very reasonable. I would dent come again.
