Gumshara's menu centres on tonkotsu ramen, with variations such as spicy garlic tonkotsu, mini sparerib and BBQ pork, and a braised beef special. Regulars praise the thick pork broth, and one visitor built a bowl from the self-serve toppings of pickled ginger, scallions, garlic and sauce. Bowls are large enough that some diners can't finish them. Most meals fall in the $20β40 range. One visitor mentioned a kombu broth for vegetarian diners.

How the broth is made
The soup is made the traditional Japanese way, using only fresh pork bone and water, with no MSG and no thickener. The website says its richness comes from bone marrow and soft bone, and that over 300kg of fresh pork bone is boiled for 14 hours, seven days a week. The frozen tonkotsu ramen sold online is handmade and hand packed in the shop, with a daily production limit.
