10 people recommend, 4 warn against itvia r/melbourne15 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Shujinko's Melbourne recommendations are pooled at the source-named Flinders Street outlet. A Flinders Street commenter recommends its ramen, while another was disappointed by that branch. Russell Street has separate supporters who like the bowls and repeated visits. Brand-level criticism includes overhype and a perceived decline in quality, although another finds the ramen decent despite its cost. These are branch-specific and general opinions, not a uniform experience across the chain.
