Shojin Ramen Sushi

"A hidden gem for sure . could use some music but the food is 100 percent hand made and to die for . the egg rolls were presented in such a nice way rather than just some rolls in a bag, instead they were cut up and on a plate and then 2 sauces were drizzled neatly on them. the price is 100% worth it. my only “complaints” which are more just comfort suggestions would just be presentation of the restaurant it’s self, music to combat the silence and filter the leaves out of the boba . Other than that it’s very much hand made with great love and care. Amazing experience for a small hidden place."

"Food is made with love! Definitely worth it! Steam buns and tempura super tasty! Kimchi perfectly spicy! I love the hard boiled egg instead of soft. Thats a personal preference. The surprise dumpling is indeed a surprise lol. Overall, small place with big flavors."

"First time coming here with expectations of a great vacation and it certainly fulfilled them. EVERYTHING was fantastic, we ordered as 4 people a LOT of different foods and they were all really good no exceptions. Far different tastes than other types of food I’ve had and it definitely makes it a wonderful experience."

"Overall: A nice, small, comfy bowl that's a little more expensive than what I'm used to seeing. Details: I've heard about this place from a coworker who gave it a pretty good recommendation. Having had ramen in both Austin, TX and Japan, I had to temper my expectations a bit before checking it out. I got an order of gyoza and their house special. Granted if I wanted to do a base comparison, a basic tonkotsu would have been better but I was curious and it was expensive for a basic bowl. The gyoza came out looking and smelling pretty good. They're no Japanese style gyoza which are usually flatter and crispier. These are more Chinese style with a much nicer crisp around the edges and fairly plump than the usual. It came with some mayo and Lao Gan Ma which went well with it. The green onions were a nice touch. The ramen later came and immediately noticed a few things. The pork seem to be the kind you would see in a stir fry, the egg seemed lightly fried after being boiled, a small assortment of vegetables were on the side, and the broth seemed to be in low tide. It's like a mixture of pho, Chinese stir fry, and ramen. Not a typical bowl but wouldn't be unusual in the more experimental parts of Tokyo that use chocolate, milk, or bugs in their ramen. And even straight up mapo tofu with a very thick sauce. The pork was very well done and juicy. The noodles were a familiar kind which I suspect is the same kind most ramen shops use. The things that threw me off were the egg, veggies, and broth. The egg is hardboiled, a little over cooked even. This was a bit disappointing. Usually ramen eggs are soft boiled at least. I'm not sure if this is caution on the part of the owner with food safety, regular customers not liking soft boiled eggs, or something else. Hopefully the owner will consider adding the option of a soft boiled ramen egg especially since the menu already strangely has options for noodles that isn't used in ramen. The veggies were a little strange here. By the time I got to the bottom, mixing the veggies and broth made it feel like I was eating a fusion of pho and ramen. Not that you'd find corn in pho, but it still felt that way. The broth was the biggest mystery. It was nice and creamy. Comforting even. Literally nothing wrong with it except there wasn't enough of it. In most shops, the broth would fill the bowl near to the top. In the one I ordered, it barely filled the bottom. Maybe it's different with the other bowls, but it was a lot less than what I usually see unless it was tsukemen which is more concentrated and meant to be dipped in. I wonder if it's because there's usually a lot of broth wasted after someone finishes a bowl. I can understand that since most people don't finish off the broth. As a broth lover and one who believes the broth is the essence of a bowl, I can only be left wondering and wanting a little more. Overall, it's nice and comforting with some very obvious fusion of Japanese and Chinese noodle bowl styles at least for their house special. Maybe the other bowls are more traditional. Very worthy of respect for the area it's in. Just a tad expensive for what you get, but what's not in Fort Myers?"
