Shizuku Ramen & Craft Beer — Restaurant in Melbourne

Hey where to start! The food was tasty, the service okay and the venue neat and clean, so why the 1 star rating......?

Okay the serve size: $22.40 for a bowl of Ramen. For that it better be good or big or both. Like I said taste was okay but it was tiny. If I got charged $12-15 no complaints but this wasn't a little bit over, no it's way over. Ingredients standard so that wasn't the reason. Tokyo Table up the road offers better value and superior taste.

Next Thing: you can only order via the QR code, okay that's more normal these days but there's a surcharge there of $0.65...why?! Credit card? I didn't get an option. So I didn't get a meal for $22.40 but $23.05. Just build it into the price!! Yeah $23.05 for Ramen doesn't sound so good ..

If you're keen to try you had better hurry because they might not be a long term option. Suggest you just wait in the queue at Tokyo Table and count your lucky stars that you're not the one writing this review with...

We referred to the menu on the website which had sushi and booked a table as we were craving sushi and uni. Unfortunately arrived to find that they only do ramen as well as a some starters such as karaage and gyoza. I assume the Abbotsford store is the one that does sushi. Would've been great if they had the Hawthorn menu on the website so we would've known. Nonetheless we stayed and ordered 2 ramens and chicken karaage to share. The items are a bit on the pricey side but the broths were really delicious. Deep and flavourful. Noodles had good bite. Chicken karaage was juicy and tender but also very crispy.

Would be back to try some...

A lovely ramen bar. With many different flavours of ramen to choose from.

Unfortunately for my spicy tonkatsu ramen, it was too salty, which is not to my liking. Which was a shame 😕

The cheeseburger spring rolls were delicious though, I really enjoyed those with the yummy zesty dipping sauce.

My wife's butter corn ramen was very good, A good balance of flavours and not salty at all, but as a suggestion I will swap out the butter they use for ghee as a more healthy alternative.

Would come again to try a different flavour but at the same time there are much better ramen bars...
