SHŌBU takes its name from the Japanese iris—a symbol of elegance, strength, and quiet confidence that reflects the spirit of our restaurant.
We serve a diverse selection of traditional and contemporary ramen alongside Japanese-inspired small plates. Guests can choose from several dining experiences, including ramen-bar counter seating, traditional tatami-style seating, and comfortable classic booths.
Our Japan-trained chefs combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to bring Nottingham the authentic flavours of Japan—and, above all, the distinctive taste of SHŌBU.
Whether you’re here solo or with friends, enjoy thoughtful ramen and relaxed service in the heart of Nottingham.
Our storyA neighbourhood ramen bar built around careful cooking, good hospitality and the comfort of a proper bowl.
