The Story
About This Place
Shinsho Ramen occupies a low-key address on Nguyễn Đăng Giai and draws the kind of crowd that comes back specifically for two bowls: the truffle mushroom ramen and the tsukemen. The truffle bowl pairs a pai-tan broth with truffle oil and mushrooms — restrained enough that the aroma enhances rather than dominates. The tsukemen serves thick fresh noodles alongside a separate concentrated bone broth for dipping, a format rarely done well in this neighborhood, and reviewers who ordered it once have returned to order it again.
What distinguishes this kitchen from heavier ramen spots elsewhere in Thao Dien is the broth calibration. The soups run lighter than most, and saltiness is adjusted per order — a detail regulars notice. The Traditional Ramen comes with two cuts of chashu and a soy-seasoned broth; the Shoyu Hakusai variation folds slow-simmered Chinese cabbage into a subtler, vegetable-forward bowl. Mazemen — ramen served without broth — rounds out the range for those who want something different. Combos pairing ramen with shrimp or chicken karaage are listed as small portions, suited to lunch pacing.
The dining room is larger than the entrance suggests — spacious enough for groups, quiet enough that conversations carry. Counter seats facing the open kitchen fill earliest during the Friday and weekend lunch rush, which runs from 11 AM to 2:30 PM before dinner service resumes at 4. Staff keep pace well outside peak hours; crowded Friday lunches slow service noticeably but the room stays calm. Chefs have been observed chatting with counter diners mid-service, which gives the space a less transactional feel than comparable ramen counters nearby.
With 2,323 Google reviews averaging 4.9, Shinsho Ramen holds a score that reflects repeat visits. The truffle ramen brings people in; the tsukemen and tonkotsu are why the tables fill again the following week.

Genuine ramen in town! The soup is so tasty with less salty choice. I enjoyed much til last drop 🤭
Good vibes. Amazing recommendation from the staff. The cabbage ramen and truffle ramen both smell so good.
We had a wonderful experience here! I had the ramen with the garlic broth, it was delicious and very rich! The meat and the egg were perfectly cooked. I highly recommend:) The longan tea was also really refreshing.
Have a great lunch with my friends. Foods are yummy, services are friendly and the atmosphere is clean.
