When you first enter Typical Ramen, the Tutorial Man greets you and introduces the basics. Interacting with him starts a guided tutorial that explains essential mechanics, from handling customers to preparing accurate bowls of ramen. You will also learn how to take orders, serve meals correctly, and maintain your shop’s cleanliness and efficiency.

Once the tutorial concludes, you return to the main lobby. Here, you can open a room that supports up to eight players for a cooperative experience or reduce the size to one if you prefer to play alone.

Customizing your avatar

Unlock better aprons and titles as you progress in Typical Ramen (Image via Roblox)

To give your character extra abilities, you can unlock aprons by making ramen bowls and collecting Yen, the game’s currency. Each apron provides a unique perk, but some are purely cosmetic.

For example, the Memory Apron shows customer orders in a small bubble above your screen, making it easier to keep track. The Speed Apron boosts movement by 1.5x, allowing you to navigate the kitchen more efficiently, but on the other hand, the Turtle Apron does nothing.

Alongside aprons, you can also equip titles through the avatar customization menu. These titles highlight your progress and skill as a ramen chef, while adding a personal touch to your character’s look.

Opening and maintaining the ramen shop

When you first load into the game, your character spawns just outside the ramen shop. You’ll notice AI-controlled pedestrians wandering nearby, and interestingly, these characters are designed to resemble players from your friend list. If you’re playing in a group, the system pulls from the combined friend lists of all players in the lobby. The customer pool is then selected at random, ensuring each playthrough feels fresh and unique while maintaining a personal touch.

At this point, however, customers won’t immediately enter the store. Since the shop is closed and it is nighttime, you’ll need to activate it from the control panel inside the storeroom. This downtime is perfect for preparing the kitchen and tidying up the store before opening. During the setup, you can:

• Roll the ramen dough with the rolling pin.
• Use noodle machines on the kitchen island to craft thin or thick noodles.
• Prepare all three broth types in advance, as broth does not spoil.
• Organize vegetables and other non-perishable toppings on the chopping counter.
• Mop the floors to clear away any spills.
• Wash and stack dirty dishes, keeping them ready for use.

Once the store is clean, the ingredients are set, and each player has a role in the kitchen, it’s time to adjust the challenge. From the control panel, you can select between Easy, Medium, and Hard, which determines how complex the incoming ramen orders will be. With the difficulty locked in, you can finally open up the shop and welcome your first wave of customers.

When daytime arrives, the shop comes alive as the customers begin placing their orders almost immediately. Each visitor requests a unique bowl of ramen, with random combinations of broth, noodles, and toppings. Some may even ask for every option available, making certain dishes more challenging than others.

A timer floats above each customer’s head, showing how long you have to complete their order. If you miss the deadline or make a mistake, your restaurant’s rating may drop due to their review.

Serving customers correctly, however, rewards you generously. When you match their preferences perfectly, your overall rating increases, and the customer leaves behind a generous tip, along with a compliment for the chef. The tip amount depends on how quickly you serve them and the accuracy of the dish. Once they finish eating, you must collect the payment, deposit it into the cash register, and wash the used bowls to prepare for new customers.

This process creates a satisfying cycle of taking orders, preparing meals, and managing the kitchen. The routine continues until you either run out of supplies or decide to close the shop. If ingredients become scarce, restocking is simple: just order a new shipment from the control panel in the storeroom. Similarly, you can close the restaurant at any time with the press of a button, making it easy to take breaks between busy shifts.
