CHO RAMEN RETURNS.
Our annual ramen series is back all June with a brand-new bowl line-up for 2026.
This year’s ramen features a doubutsu-kei, or “double soup” soy-based broth, layered with roasted chicken and duck bone stock. Paired with thick handmade noodles crafted for a satisfying chew, the result is a clear-style ramen with serious depth and plenty of comfort built in.
Choose between:
🍖 Leg Ham Chashu, pork wonton, duck fat mandarin oil & ramen egg
🍗 Fried chicken karaage, chicken wonton, duck fat mandarin oil & ramen egg
🍄 Grilled mushroom, mushroom x.o, ginger oil & ramen egg (v)
Or settle in with the Cho Ramen Set | $49
Your choice of doubutsu-kei ramen served with sides of tuna sashimi and miso eggplant sticks, plus your choice of drink; yuzu soda, Yulli’s Karaoke Kingu Rice Lager or sake.
To really lean into Ramen Month enjoy one of our weekly special Suntory Toki highballs, starting with sudachi kosho, yuzu & soda.

Head Chef Nicholas Wong works alongside Barthelmess to create dishes that are both inventive and delicious. The drinks offering at Cho Cho San is equally impressive, with a selection of sake, shochu, whisky, beer, and wine perfectly tailored to suit the food.
