Recently moved back to Hoboken and I was so excited to try Shokudo! Everything has been incredible! Big fan of the spicy pork buns and the gyoza! Have had several ramen and they are all excellent! The spicy pork donburi is also delish! You really can't go wrong here and the staff is lovely! We always come with my dog to sit outside - they know her and are just so sweet! Would give a 10/5 if I could!! read more

Shokudo - Ramen Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Constantly solid ramen. Delivers well but also a good cozy spot to eat at. Quality service and always flavorful.

Can't get enough of this place! The food is delicious. The Okonomyaki is the bomb! I could eat that every day. Order it and it will pleasantly surprise you. The service is great. The menu is simple and everything we order comes out so good and very flavourful. read more

excellent food and service. The owners are very personable. We go there at least once a week and kid friendly

No longer BYOB. Despite being very loyal to this place during Covid, they were obnoxious in saying I could no longer bring wine or pay a corkage fee. Truly disappointing and no recognition for loyalty. I will not be back. read more

Delicious spot. Very authentic Japanese food. The ramen bowls were delicious. Food was fresh and cooked right in front of you. Great place for a quick bite and some comfort food. read more

This was our first time ordering food from this newcomer to the neighborhood and we LOVE everything we got. The appetizers, particular the pork buns, were outstanding. The gyoza was also phenomenal. It goes without saying the ramen hit the spot too. We will definitely be ordering from here again, its perfect food to get through these times of social distancing. Support our local restaurants and get your next dinner here - you will not regret it! read more

Love this place! Have only ever had take out and they do such a great job. Yakitori is packaged in these heat retaining bags. Ramen broth is separated from the rest of the foods. My favorite is the chicken karaage. Sooo juicy and flavorful. One of my favorite spots in Hoboken. read more

A very western take on Japanese. The pork buns tasted like American pulled pork BBQ with a cucumber in it. The spicy miso ramen comes with no soy-marinated egg, and let's face it - the broth might be spicy for the faint of heart, but it was basically plain chicken broth for anyone with a palate for spice. Worth it if you're looking for something fast. Otherwise, go elsewhere. Flavor profile = 5/10 tops. read more

Excellent service and food! All the food tasted extremely fresh and all the meat we ordered was tender. We also got Ramen and loved it! The sauces they provide on the side were so yummy and the ramen was delicious. We were impressed and will be back! read more

Shokudo - Edamame and 2 Spicy Pork Buns - Ramen Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

See all

In plethora of restaurants around, Shokudo is prob my favorites for Asian. Though, this is only my second time ordering. My order was same last cos the food is so scrumptious - Pork Buns, Dumplings and Spicy Miso Ramen. Pork buns - one of the best I've had. The buns are super fresh, and the pork is nicely spiced with a kick of chilly and a good hit of sesame oil. Dumplings are super nice too. Spicy Miso Ramen. Done to perfection! read more

Oh boy! I'm so thankful for Shokudo. I had been craving ramen since before NJ was locked down. My normal ramen spots downtown were closed during the pandemic. I searched for weeks for a new place. After all this time Shokudo popped up with excellent reviews, and now I can see why! I tried their steamed pork dumplings and spicy pork buns. Both were delicious. They were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. I also had the tonkatsu ramen. Absolutely delicious. The way they package your food was awesome, and it was definitely packed with care. I will be eating from here often! Thanks for an awesome meal. read more

Found an egg shell in my seafood pancake today. Order the short rib and when i got home it was the filet. Not a good experience today

Definitely the best ramen place in this area! The yakitori is also great here as well

I don't write a lot of reviews, but felt compelled to do so for Shokudo. I was very excited for this place to open, only to have a baby right at the beginning of a global pandemic. It took me far too long to try this place and as a result, I want to share my positive experience to hopefully help keep this place open. We ordered two tonkotsu ramens, karaage, and gyoza. Everything was very flavorful. We ordered to go as we still aren't comfortable eating indoors. When you walk in, the kitchen is visible straight to the back of the restaurant which I always like at a ramen place, it reminds me of some of the great places in Japan. Everything looked very orderly and clean which was great. The order was ready promptly at the stated time and as such was still piping hot when I got home. I love that the noodles and mix-ins are separated from the broth so you can drop them in when ready to enjoy. The pork in the gyoza was extremely flavorful and very moist. Compared to other asian take out places, the quality was very apparent. The karaage was large chunks of meat, lightly breaded and fried. Far from greasy, this was a nice add on to a ramen. The tonkotsu broth looked as good as it tasted. It had a nice creamy look and a smooth silky taste to it. You can tell this broth is being made nice and slow with meticulous details. The added vegetables and pork were also well prepared. No one taste overpowered anything else. Portion size is great for both the appetizers and the ramens. I will definitely order from here again and look forward to trying some other styles of ramen as well as other appetizers. The only reason I didn't give the restaurant 5 stars is that it is priced a bit to a premium. I don't mind that right now during COVID as I want the place to succeed. However this isn't exactly a "cheap" meal the way one might be able to scoop up a ramen for next to nothing in Japan. For me, the quality was worth it though. read more

So good! Had the food delivered to our hotel and everything was awesome! Totally recommend. Pork buns were delicious!

Pretty good ramen considering there isn't many spots with good ramen in the area. Spicy miso is definitely the way to go, but it's not too spicy. read more

Based on the existing Yelp reviews I went for a quick sit down lunch. I ordered the chicken karage and 5 skewers(chicken wings, chicken thigh, pork, kalbi, and steak). I was about to order the ramen but I waited to order. They did not get anything right. The karage was below average at best as the batter and the interior just didn't blend well. No seasoning. And the sauce they offer as a dip is tasteless and doesn't add anything. The size of the order was a lot but it was too much for one person. The yakitori was the worst. If you have had yakitori at any place in NYC like Yakitori Totto or Torishin, you will be severely disappointed. Unseasoned with no sauce and spices offered. They brought all the yakitori on one plate so the juice from the pork, steak and chicken were all mixed! The chicken wing was just burned to a crisp. The pork was extremely fatty in which couldn't been helped if they actually grilled it more, unlike what they advertise as being perfectly cooked. The place itself is pleasant and the service was fine. Super disappointed with quality of food. read more

Finally a great ramen place in Hoboken! Really happy with our food and delivery packaging was good. Looking forward to being able to try this place in person. We will definitely be back! read more

Have only ordered pickup here but food is consistent and reliable - it's become part of my weekly rotation. Shumai and pork dumplings are among the best we've had. My husband loves the chicken & beer yakitori and I consistently get the tofu & mushroom donburi. Give this place a lot of credit for opening during covid, too! read more

The ramen is pretty high quality! The spice is on the weaker side though if that's what you're looking for.

This spot is my absolute FAVORITE ramen/yakitori restaurant in Hoboken/JC. Casual dining with excellent food. Fairly priced. Fresh ingredients. They recently started serving alcohol as well!! Love this place so much. Try the spicy pork buns read more

Love all the ramens. Chicken karage and buns also amazing. Quick, accurate delivery - and packed really well for delivery, keeps the ramen tasting great! read more

Based on the other reviews thought this place would be decent (and to caveat, my husband and I love the authentic ramen places in NYC). We tried to come in with lower expectations but were still disappointed. While the broth was ok, the noodles were overcooked/mushy, and didn't seem homemade...the pork slices were not flavorful. read more

I've been walking by this place for months anxiously awaiting its opening. It just opened a couple weeks ago (yes, in the middle of COVID-19) so not doing takeout and delivery and only a limited portion of their full menu. That said, everything was delicious. Full of flavor. Had Chicken Karaage (fried chicken with garlic) The Spicy Pork Bun - which was one of the best I've had. The spicy Miso Ramen which my son loved. And had two of the Donburi (small rice bowl) - the chicken and the spicy pork. The chicken was good but I give the edge to the spicy pork which was outstanding. The description is deceptive as I thought the it was at least a medium rice bowl. Owners were also very nice, friendly and appreciative. Show them and other local restaurants your live during this crisis. Hate to see any have to close. read more

The food has been good most of the time. I have had ramen and some of the rice bowls and appetizers. I think ramen in Hoboken is lacking, but this is the best in Hoboken. The prices are decent too. I would give them a 4 star rating if all of their staff wore their masks properly all of the time. They're usually good about it, but there has been a couple of time during the pandemic where some weren't wearing it properly. read more

Had the spicy miso ramen and shoyu ramen...soo good. Everything from toppings to the noodles to the broth! Definitely gonna be coming back! Perfect for the cooling temp to sit outside. The spicy pork buns are a great starter, cant wait to come back and try the karaage! read more

So glad a solid Japanese restaurant is opened in town. The food was good, although they need to step up their chicken karage game. I am ordering again today!!! read more

Absolutely delicious ramen! And great customer service. We ordered our food over the phone for pickup and the food was ready so quickly and waiting for us. Ill be coming back again very soon! read more

Delicious broth, delicious egg, delicious noodles....all around delicious. Usually there are ramen places that excel in one aspect of ramen but miss the mark in others. But Shokudo hit the mark on every front! Thank you for a great meal. read more

Amazing spot! We got the spicy miso ramen which had incredible flavor and spice. We also got the chicken thigh, and short rib yakitori which were very good. Finished it off with spicy pork buns which I'm usually not a fan of, but these had an unbelievable sauce. Will definitely be back! read more

Excellent variety of foods with good prices. Even simple items like the chicken breast skewer were very tasty. I shared multiple items from the menu and was happy with all of them. My personal favorite was the pan fried pork gyoza. Staff was friendly while ordering takeout. They do have a few outside tables as well. This restaurant will definitely become a favorite for uptown Hoboken. read more

By a mile the best ramen and Japanese in northern New Jersey. Outstanding ramen, made fresh. We go here once a week.

Excellent. Loved everything We had. We ordered take out and they did an excellent job to keep everything fresh. My girlfriend ordered some sort of shrimp tempura Udon and the shrimp came in a separate paper based container that kept it crispy. Simple yet effective. I'll be honest I don't write many reviews but this meal really just hit the spot. I ordered 2 soft boiled eggs to add to my ramen but next time I'm going to order 4. They were outstanding. Already dreaming about them and the head on giant shrimp skewers. I ordered online so there wasn't much human interaction but even just walking in and picking it up everyone was friendly and I just got a great vibe from the place. Would highly recommend!! read more

Welcome to Hoboken!! What an amazing restaurant you took me back to Japan in a simple meal. Everything so yummy.

We were nervous ordering ramen but beyond happy we did. We've now ordered here three nights in a row... it was that good. Delivery was within 15 mins of us calling every time. 100% must try. read more

We finally had a chance to try Shokudo and we highly enjoyed. Delivery was super quick and food was fresh and hot. Spicy Miso ramen is delicious, pork buns are super soft/fresh and everything else we ordered was perfect. Highly recommend. Hoboken needed a good ramen place, and this will now be our go-to. read more
