Shoki Ramen House
2675 24th Street
Sacramento, CA.
(916) 454-2411
Currently the only Japanese Ramen House in Sacramento, Shoki Ramen House is somewhat of a hidden gem, but raved about by those who have discovered it. Nestled away on the corner of 24th and Sloat in Curtis Park, Chef Yasushi Ueyama brings a unique taste to Sacramento. Every bowl of ramen is made from scratch, and customers are lined up outside the door for a taste of the delicious concoction. Be sure to bring cash to this restaurant, because they do not accept checks or credit cards. Prices for the ramen vary on the bowl size, but expect to pay $7-$15 per person.
