Shujinko Russell Street

Best Known For

Yaki Ramen: signature pan fried ramen, topped with concentrated pork based soup and seafood sauce; served with fresh vegetables, marinated egg, diced pork belly and marinara mixed seafood.

For steaming bowls of ramen all day, any day, Melburnians seek out the glowing red and yellow sign of Shujinko on Russell Street, a hole-in-the-wall eatery tucked into the heart of the city. Cosy up side-by-side with friends and drown out cold days with classic Japanese inspired soups, surrounded by traditional style décor and a lively vibe as streams of diners bustle in and find a place to appease growling stomachs. As much as possible is made in house, ensuring each dish is a collection of mouth-watering tastes and fresh, premium ingredients. Perhaps snack on karaage fried chicken, served with fresh salad, mayo and lemon; before demolishing a bowl of black ramen – a blend of tonkotsu and shellfish soup, or stir-fried pork belly with onions, marinated egg, spring onion and pickled ginger.
