Shokudo Ramen & Sushi

Came here mainly for ramen, but surprisingly the highlights were everything except the ramen. The bao buns were soft, flavorful, and easily the best thing we ordered. The sushi was also solid and well-prepared.

Unfortunately, the ramen itself was disappointing, especially for the price. I ordered the Miso Ramen with fried chicken. The broth lacked flavor and the chicken tasted and looked exactly like basic Tyson-style chicken as if it was taken right from the package and cut up. Just a very bland ramen and no very thought out.

However, the place itself had a cool anime style and was clean and the server was polite and attentive. I’d come back for the bao and sushi, but if ramen is what you’re after, this spot might disappoint.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABSOLUTE GEM – Shokudo Ramen in Hackettstown is Pure Addiction!

My girlfriend and I have been hooked for over 6 months now, and I can confidently say Shokudo Ramen is the best ramen spot in New Jersey hands down. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm and welcoming.

Jay is an absolute legend behind the counter – friendly, fast, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He remembers us every single time, makes killer recommendations, and just makes the whole experience feel amazing 10/10. Top-tier service that you rarely see anymore.

Now, the food? In my personal opinion it can rival any Michelin star establishment. We’ve worked our way through almost the entire menu and there has NOT been a single miss

Everything is made with insane attention to detail and love. The noodles have the perfect bite, the broths are deeply flavored (you can taste the hours that went into them), and the portions are generous without being overwhelming.

If you live in Hackettstown or anywhere in the state of New Jersey make the trip. Shokudo isn’t just great ramen… it’s an experience. Jay and the team are killing it, and we’re already planning our next visit (probably tomorrow).

Hands down my new favorite sushi and ramen place!!!!!

Wife and i wanted some ramen and sushi for lunch and this place came up in a search. Minutes from Mansfield plaza- it is a newly built cozy establishment.

From the moment you walk in - you can tell how much attention, care, love and detail was invested into this place!!!

Very authentic yet not overdone design. Open space with plenty of windows. Everything from utensils and chop sticks to take home containers feels expensive and not generic.

Staff is attentive, friendly and cares!

Food - fresh fresh fresh!!! Tasty!
I had seafood udon ramen and wife had kimchi ramen and we shared pink lady roll. Again - super fresh!

And you would think they would be expensive and they are NOT!

Very reasonable pricing.

Verdict - help them stay in business and grow… you wont be disappointed.

Everything was delicious. I was surprised with how fast all our dishes came out. Staff is super friendly as well. Will definitely come here again.

You will not regret visiting this place. The waiter was super nice, polite and friendly. The restaurant was very clean and smelled good. The food was 10/10. This was our first time trying ramen and we were a bit scared but it was sooo good! Also I asked the waiter if he could make it less spicy and he really did his best and I really appreciated it. Love this place and I would come again❤️
