Shugetsu

I ordered my first tsukemen here and it was pretty good. The ramen was fresh and thick. The sauce was ok, i found the taste to be a little light when dipping. I thought getting the noodles served cold would hold the flavor more.
Overall this place is solid and is pretty American friendly.

Maybe my tastebuds are more sensitive due to a growing baby in my tummy… but the «light ramen broth» I had with my cold yummy, homemade noodles, was really salty!!! Not a little salty… REALLY Salty.
But I still give it a 4 stars because the noodles are made in-​store and do taste really fresh. For 88HKD, you could get 100, 200, or 300 grams of noodles. I got 200 g and it is really filling because the noodles are more «fat».
Anyway, That’s all I have to say about this place. I like it! and once I get out of being «Ramen-​ed out» I’d come back!

They make their own noodles! And they give a lot of it too! …Well, you have the option of choosing how much noodles you want, so if you’re hungry, get a large!
I got the tsukemen (~100hkd) here, and its perfect. The broth/​sauce is on the saltier side but that is to be expected since tsukemen is dip noodles. If you don’t know what that is, you dip the noodles into the broth/​sauce for flavor to eat. Then when you are finished, they’ll pour stock into the bit of broth so you can drink it. Hopefully the stock will dilute the saltiness of the broth/​sauce so you can actually drink it!
My favorite part about ramen is the egg. The half cooked egg here is the best I’ve had. It’s perfectly cooked with flavor and yolky gooiness in the middle. Mhmmmm!
The ambience of the restaurant is cute. You can see them making the noodles in front of you! It really reminds me of Japan with the way everything is put together. The service was on point as well. I loved it. This was definitely one of the more authentic Japanese restaurants.

Bottom line: Full flavor ramen that will comfort you
I rate this place more like a 3.5 star. I ordered the pork belly ramen and a Kirin. The ramen broth was deliciously fatty and not too rich. The broth was the highlight for me; it was very well balanced. I drank a bit more of it after I finished the pork, egg and noodles. The pork belly tender fatty but still had good protein on it. Noodles were the straight thinner kind (maybe Hakata style noodle). The egg was soft boiled, as it should be.
I feel that this ramen could be taken to the next level if they add a sheet of nori (seaweed), some vegetable (mushrooms? Or menma) and kamaboke (fish loaf slices).
When I come to Hong Kong the Japanese food is often very good (I wish San Francisco had this quality Japanese food).
This place has mostly counter style seating so I think if there is more than two of you it will be hard to have a conversation. That is just fine though. This place is great for eating alone after walking home from a hard days work. Get your self a bowl of ramen and a beer and you’ll be alright.
