About this spot
Nanyang Shushu Bak Kut Teh serves deep, aromatic pork rib stew simmered with star anise and dried chilies that warms the Shinjuku winter air instantly. The accompanying rice cakes (kway teow) absorb the rich broth perfectly, while a side of pickled mustard greens cuts through the spice.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Nanyang' style for a spicier kick or the 'Hainanese' version if you prefer a milder, sweeter broth.
- Bring your own chopsticks and spoon; the restaurant rarely provides them to encourage guests to bring their own.
- Save room for the complimentary steamed buns served alongside the stew, which are best eaten while the meat is still tender.
