My husband was looking for a Cuban Sandwich place but it seemed had been out of business for a while. We walked around the food hall and the 24 hour pork broth looked enticing. The ramen broth was nice and tasty, but with only 2 short thin slices of pork, it lacks the protein quantity I'm hoping for. The Karaage Chicken was juicy and hot and made up for it. We shared the dishes before embarking on a cruise. For a single person it would be not enough protein with just a bowl of ramen. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite while in downtown. Shimko is on the first floor of Julia & Henry's food hall. I was curious to try their lunch summer special for $9.50 BAM! How could so much flavor be packed in a bowl? I don't know if their pork belly was smoked for 3 days, 3 hours or 3 months. It was so buttery smooth equally balanced with smoky notes. The noodles was perfectly al dente and the broth. Oh the broth.... I would have considered bathing in it. I don't know what magic spices or ingredients are there -- but it delivered and filled a craving. Also forgot how filling ramen could be. Overall A+. The food hall has plenty land comfortable spaces /chairs to eat and lounge in. Solo or in a group, this place is a keeper. Now time to enjoy the walk back to the office. I'll be back.... read more

Shimuja Ramen - Tokyo Shoyu Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Miami, Florida

Parking: Walked here so not sure but it is downtown so might not be good. Interior: This is multi level food court with a bunch of seating all around. Overall cool vibes to get dinner with friends. Not packed since we went for a late dinner. Wait Time: None to order. About 10min for food. Items Order: 8/10 Satsuma Tonkatsu Ramen $18 - Broth was fantastic, heavy, rich, packed with flavor but not salty. Noodles were just ok, not the best but it just might be the type of ramen noodle. Toppings were decent, but portion size is quite small. Not much meat and it is priced on the higher side for ramen. read more

Did an order on uber eats and randomly ordered from here because I craved ramen. Ended up being a very good meal overall. Good portion and tasty. Would recommend for a simple meal or bite. read more

Honestly not bad! Highly rated ramen in Miami -- wasn't expecting too much for a city not known for Japanese food however this hit the spot. Went for lunch -- great value out of the lunch specials. Went for one of each to share and it was a great combo. Fast service and really cool atmosphere in one of the new food halls in the heart of downtown Miami. read more

I think the Ramen here is pretty good for what is available in South Florida. I like how it is available in downtown Miami, where nothing else is really in this area. The eggs are always cooked to perfection, the broth is a little on the high sodium side but it always hits the spot. I also like how they cut up the meat into smaller pieces and charred it a little bit. Could be spicier, but I think it is OK. This is located in a food hall, they used to be on the third floor but now I see that they have moved to the first floor and that could have been for a while, but I'm glad they are in a more visible place. Service is always consistent as you order at the counter. read more

Had a good experience here inside Julia and Henry's. Shimuja really is that good. Their space is small and there were only two people working, but they were really cooking. We ordered quick and it didn't take too long for our food to come out. The portion was large enough for two and the cost was $20 for the plate! Everything was hot and looked great. The curry sauce was amazing. The main menu is six ramens but they had two curry's maybe seasonally or on special. I'd love to come back and try another dish. read more

It's crazy how many good review this place has. I mean the ramen was okay. Nothing really crazy delicious. My pork had a lot of fat. However, the service was pretty quick and professional. The ambiance was nice, clean and a good spot to check out other food spots near by. read more

My favorite ramen so far is not just in Miami but in the whole world. Is just a perfect mix of flavors in a big bowl I just came to this food court for this place is so good everything in the ramen is perfect. Noddles are cooked perfectly and depending on what you get the flavor and level of spicy can change my favorite is the spicy one the cook line can always help you and give you good recommendations. Service is a fast, good price and the ambiance is nice and casual. You have a couple Bars and dessert options after eating at this delicious place. Live music and fresh decor. read more

My favorite ramen spot... I don't care about the drive to Davie just for their home made gyozas and delicious pork ramen. Service is always fast and very friendly, and they just opened a Doral location which is amazing! read more

What an atrocious experience. Come to a basically empty location only to be greeted by an angry Hispanic man. Who then took 10 minutes to take our 4 item order. Not only were they completely out of the chicken stock, but when we order vegetable broth we get the nice surprise of pork chunks in it. The chicken was dry and flavorless and when we questioned the portion size we were then given another visit by the same angry tender. Who oh so graciously gave us more burnt chicken "because he's a nice guy" and to not complain about the portion size "because that's just how it is". We ordered spicy ramen to only be given the spicy miso up charge with no spice to be found. The noodles were undercooked and with ingredients missing. And the pork buns were no exception to this saddening trend. Not only was the service bad, but we were charged for food we didn't receive, have the safety of our food questioned, and above all else lost money on this learning experience. I truly hope the original is much better than this sad excuse for a mall food court stand. read more

I absolutely hate writing negative reviews because I do believe they try to make a good product, but holy crap that was the worst ramen I've ever had. I was excited to try Shimuja (located inside Julia & Henry's/3rd floor) based on the reviews. I ordered a Kagoshima special tonkatsu spicy. It was not spicy at all, the pork was chewy and flavorless. I've never had a ramen with carrots inside, it was like a soupy spring roll. And $33 for a bowl is ridiculous, needless to say I'll never return. read more

I finally made my way up to Davie to try our @shimuja and might I say, it was worth it. I love me some ramen and they definitely delivered. I went with the Kagoshima Ramen: Tonkotsu broth with wavy thin egg noodles topped with scallions, sprouts, extra kikurage mushrooms, seasoned half boiled egg, tempura burdock, cabbage, carrots, seaweed, fish cake and extra chashu pork. Don't forget a good nood pull! The service was excellent. The ambiance is good for all occasions. read more

We were in downtown Miami for 2 nights, and after eating cruiseship food for the last 8 days, we were desperate for a good bowl of Ramen. A quick Google search brought us to this place, and we are very thankful it did. Located inside Julia and Henry's food market, amongst 5 floors of various eateries, lives this gem of a Ramen shop. And when I say gem, I mean a freakin gem. I originally wanted the Tsukeman Ramen, but it was not available, and I'm not even mad. I had the Kagoshima special Tonkatsu Ramen that was delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful and stayed hot in its ceramic bowl the entire time. The thin noodles were packed in the bowl and cooked to perfection. Soft boiled seasoned eggs were exactly how you want it in a bowl of Ramen. And the pork, OMG, had a wonderful sear on one side and was very tender. There was also a handful of fried onion strips which I've never had in Ramen before, that complimented everything nicely. Seriously, this was one of the best (if not the best) bowls of Ramen I've ever consumed. We are from San Diego and have many great Ramen shops to choose from, but I'm not kidding when I say, this bowl beat them all. It was truly perfection and we are so glad to have found it. BTW, the food market is incredible. There were so many types of food to choose from! And a massive bar smack dab in the center. If we get time this trip, we'll be back for sure. read more

Shimuja Ramen - Kagoshima Special Tonkatsu Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Miami, Florida

I am a huge ramen fan and therefore I am always on the search for the perfect bowl of ramen. The bowl that once the broth hits your mouth it has umami. I lived in Seattle and when I moved back to Miami, I really missed ramen. No place in Miami hit the spot...that is until I tried Shimuja. Shimuja blew me away. The broth was creamy and spicy. The noodles were the perfect tenderness and the pork had the perfect ratio of fat to meat. The bowl was huge and very filling. I absolutely will come here whenever I need a ramen fix. The only downside to this place is that it is located in a very busy food hall with no parking so it can be tedious to come here. read more

This place has fallen off hard since it first opened. The staff sit around chatting then pretend they only speak Spanish because they have the Miami mentality that they don't like people or business from out of state, ignore you through your meal and don't care about your requests. The ramen base is not as tasty as it was a year ago, the place is unkempt and messy. They don't have any drink options....not even water. They sent me to the booth next to them. How hard is it to order water for your guests to have through their over spiced meal that removed any flavor from your taste buds even though you asked for it to be lightly spiced just before you watched them dump an ungodly amount of hot sauce in the broth base. Grow up. Be better. read more

Had this ramen a few days ago and wow. It was an amazing bowl of pork, spicy ramen with egg. The broth had a perfect balance of heat and richness, with just the right amount of spice to keep things exciting. The noodles were cooked to perfection--tender yet firm. The egg added a creamy texture that elevated the dish even further. The toppings were fresh and well-seasoned, making every bite a flavorful experience. If you're a fan of spicy ramen, this place is definitely worth a visit! The person taking orders was kind and efficient. The place is in Julia and Henrys and it's nice to be eat in a cute spot without the rush of jumping up for the next table to sit. read more

Shimuja Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Miami, Florida

I ordered the spicy Tonkatsu and it was spicy hot and the broth was very good. I ate at the counter but I don't recommend it because it is very hot there from the stove and pots boiling and the hot lights. I would take the soup and go to a table if one is available as the food hall is very crowded. Everything tasted, homemade from scratch, and the noodles were cooked right in front of us in a huge pot, which was entertaining. This Ramin was the real deal and I would definitely recommend it. read more

I had a craving for Ramen but here in Miami I was very hesitant, but being inside a good hall made my decision easier as there were other options to weigh. Glad I chose this place I had the Non spicy Ramen and it was really good, not quite the West Coast ramen scene ramen, but solid no less. The pork belly was good but I'm my opinion could use another 2-3hrs cook time to make it melt in your mouth, the noodles were thin but had good chew. Broth was very flavorful and full of depth. This is a solid ramen joint with very quick service and everything prepared right in from of your eyes. This guy works hard! I'll be back when I'm in town read more

Shimuja Ramen - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Miami, Florida

I'm SHOCKED that I was able to find a good ramen spot in Miami. After being here for a year I thought it was impossible to find. Luckily it's been gloomy so I decided to try this place out on DoorDash. I got the spicy satsuma with a extra egg on the side. Broth is thick and flavorful, which every other ramen spot down here lacks. Not too salty either. Noodles are perfect consistency, al dente so they don't get over cooked in the hot soup and absorb the broth. The spicy sauce it comes with on the side is 5/5. I'm subtracting a star because the egg is not marinated, it's cooked perfectly but needs to be marinated. They also skimp out on the meat. The meat has good flavor so I'm sad there wasn't a decent portion. I will for sure be ordering again hehe meow read more

I was in the mood for Ramen; and decided to go try the Shimuja location in Julia and Henry's. It's good to have a location closer to home and in a wonderful venue like Julia and Henrys. I got to try both the Satsuma special, and the Spicy Satsuma special. I enjoyed the Spicy Satsuma special, but unfortunately the Satsuma special wasn't the greatest, and disappointed a bit. It had all the richness of the ramen at the bottom and the broth did not live up to my expectations from my previous visits at the davie location. Additionally, I was told that the Kagoshima special and the satsuma special is the same ramen except that the size changes and the Kagoshima is larger. I believe that to be false, as it makes no sense to have two of the same menu items be the same and just change the name for the size. Maybe it was an off day. I'll give it a try again some other time because I believe in Shimuja. read more

Expensive bowl of tasteless ramen. So disappointing choice. Service was fine and ambience was great. As a local; don't plan to return.

After having the kagoshima multiple times, it's worn off but still, a favorite to take friends and family to wow them with one of the best ramen spots in Miami. Probably the best vendor at J&H. Service is quick and on top. Lively at night. Recommend the third floor seating facing the bar. read more

On my way home from Spanish classes at MDC, I stopped by Julia and Henry's for a late dinner to take home. It was almost 9:30 and Shimuja was still open, and with the cold weather that day, a bowl of hot ramen sounded like a great idea. I got the spicy Satsuma Tonkotsu to go and although it added a slight wait, I really appreciated that the pork was freshly seared and prepared. The packaging was fantastic and held up during my 20 minute walk home. They separated the broth from the ingredients and wrapped it extremely well to avoid spilling. They provided both chopsticks and a robust spoon for the broth. As far as the ramen itself, it was absolutely delicious! The egg was cooked perfectly with a jammy center, the pork was flavorful, and the broth was rich and creamy. Definitely will go back again! read more

Over priced and tiny portions. The pork is the saddest tiny dry little slices I've ever seen (see picture). Because they were so tiny they were pretty dry since they're usually torched after. Only reason why it's 2 star and not 1 is the soup was good (not mind blowing). I would be very embarrassed if I was the owner. read more

Definitely worth checking out. read more

Today was my first time at Julia & Henry's. I stopped by the Shimuja Ramen place because I saw a video on Instagram about the special ramen chef Keiichi Maemura, and I was extremely impressed by the taste of the ramen they served me. I got the Key Lime Ramen, that is their veggie option. It has a veggie broth, one boiled egg, green and purple onion and cabbage. They even asked me if I would like to add tofu! The broth was so delicious and refreshing, with a hint of that key lime, the ramen was perfectly served in a bowl and there was definitely a generous amount of ramen! Two people can share one bowl. I think price is extremely fair for what you're getting. My bowl was $18 and I was super full after I ate it. It was a cozy and heartwarming experience! 食べ物をありがとう read more

It was my first time trying Ramen. I ordered the non spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, and it was an absolute dream. Every part of the plate was so flavorful, the broth was delicious and the serving was just right. The service was impecable, staff were so kind and helpful. At present, it is my #1 place to go for an authentic ramen. Shimuja is located on the third level (if I'm not mistaken) of the place called Julia and Henry's which has a nice ambiance. read more
