Ruckus

First get the spicy sauce, it was so flavorful. Their noodles were delicious and packed with flavor. We came toward the end of the night so not too many people but the music was fun and the service was great. I would definitely recommend checking them out if you are around!

The taste of the ramen was not too flavorful but decent portion size. We went on a weekday night and there were plenty of seating. If you're really into ramen, this place is probably not what you're looking for. Service was timely. They gave you a lot of time to look at their menu. It was a chill spot with bar seating as well as normal seating. Nothing too memorable about the interior.

Prettttyyy good! The first time I went for some reason was a little better than the second. Not sure if they changed the ramen recipe up. However I like the thick noodles, and the service there is always really nice. Can always count on getting a seat immediately.

Feel like I discovered a hidden gem in Chinatown here. The chef makes everything from scratch, including the noodles in the ramen and the shell of the dumplings . This place was empty all night long and for no good reason. I didn't want to leave a review because I want to have this place all to myself but I wanted to support this criminally underrated restaurant. I was a regular at Gourmet Dumpling House and very glad to have found this option. Quite possibly the best dumpling in Chinatown and there are some damn good ones out there.

Had lunch here yesterday, cute place, the waiter was nice and attentive. The food was really good will definitely be back for more. The Spicy Tori Miso Ramen was to die for the broth was so rich and the pork belly falls apart and is super juicy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a tasty quick bite to eat!

Ruckus is the noodle-centered sister restaurant of Shojo. It's one of the newer, fusion restaurants in the heart of Chinatown. Its menu offers approximately ten different noodles - most of them are in broth, but there are a couple cold noodle dishes. The restaurant is small, but they make good use of the space. We went on a Friday evening and had no trouble finding a seat.We ordered the Tokyo Style Ramen and the night's special (lamb stir fry). Both dishes were very flavorful. Perhaps a bit salty, but we'd happily order them again.Like most fusion restaurants in the area, the dishes are a bit overpriced ($13-$15), but if you're really in the mood for good noodles, you won't be disappointed.

TLDR: samurai champloo inspired decor with hit or miss ramen. The inside has a cool vibe with graffiti style artwork and hip hop music playing. A bunch of bar style seating that probably isn't good for groups at more busy times. I got the shoryuken ramen which was only ok. It had his weird Chinese herbal taste to it that I didn't like. The noodles were done perfectly and the soy hard boiled was good but everything else kind of meh. I also tried their chicken ramen which was delicious and creamy. I think the shoryuken has a place for a certain subset of people but not for me. Definitely try the chicken ramen when you're here and enjoy the cool insi

Broth lacked depth and was way too salty. It didn't have that meaty flavor you'd expect if it has been simmered for 24 hours as they had claimed. The pieces of pork belly were too thick of a cut so they weren't as soft as they could've been. I thought the ginger would be nice but in reality it threw me off since it's such a strong flavor. The noodles were a bit chewier and denser than what I'm used to especially for ramen.Service was good but that might be because I was the only one after a family had left. They gave water before I had ordered which was nice. There is a kitchen appreciation fee but if you'd prefer they take if they will.

Not good and overpriced. I ordered a take out since it was difficult to find a parking spot in Chinatown. Originally thought this was a very good ramen restaurant according to Newsweek. Very disappointed!

After COVID Ruckus reopened and I was extremely happy. I started going once a month , the ramen was sooo yummy. As time went on and management changed and the chefs, boy did the quality go down the drain. I order the same dish all the time and it started tasting different and not in a good way. I went 3/23/2023 and was extremely disappointed. The host/waiter was new and he wasn't friendly. I ordered the same dish after taking a hiatus for a few months with my best friend. Needless to say the broth was lacking flavor and had a weird taste to it. We both woke up the next day with the runs! I will not be returning again. I will now start going to the ramen place across the street.
