How we read reviews →Brunswick branch of Melbourne's Shujinko ramen chain, known for tonkotsu broth and a sake bar.
Cosy, moody-lit ramen bar with jazz playing and a calm, comforting vibe. reviewers say it's more spacious than other Shujinko branches and good for a relaxed catch-up.
A dedicated sake bar (a first for the strip), Kirin Ichiban on tap, a garlic press on every table, and a sandwich/bagel counter alongside the ramen menu.
Reviewers describe the broth as genuinely Tokyo-inspired, with noodles made in-house each day, though a couple felt it lacked depth in its first week open.
Reviewers call it reasonably priced for the portion and quality, cheaper than some other ramen options along Sydney Road, though a couple flag alcohol pricing as steep.
