Late Night Ramen is a cooperative survival horror game on Roblox developed by Cryptid Horror. Playing solo or in teams of up to four players, you work the graveyard shift at a 24/7 roadside noodle stand. Your goal is to keep your Service Quality Rating above zero by assembling orders correctly, rejecting dangerous anomalies, and handling street events before catching the morning bus home.
Core Rules and Service Quality Rating
Your primary survival metric is the Service Quality Rating, which starts at 100% (an A+ grade). Serving correct orders to ordinary customers maintains your standing. However, making mistakes will immediately penalize your score:
- Denying or shutting the window on a legitimate customer lowers your rating.
- Preparing the wrong broth, omitting cooked noodles, or mixing up toppings lowers your rating.
- Serving an anomalous entity instead of closing the window lowers your rating.
- If your Service Quality Rating drops to zero, you die immediately, triggering a shift failure.
Whenever you make a mistake with a bowl before handing it over, interact with the kitchen trash bin to discard the failed dish and start fresh.
How to Prepare Every Order Step-by-Step
All noodle bowls follow a strict sequence. You must combine the liquid base and cooked noodles before adding extra ingredients.
- Pick up an empty bowl from the counter stack.
- Fill the bowl with the requested broth: Chicken Broth or Spicy Broth.
- Grab uncooked noodles and place them into the boiling cooker.
- Retrieve the cooked noodles and add them directly into your broth bowl.
- Add the requested toppings from the prep containers (Beef Slices, Chicken Slices, Eggs, Green Onions, or Tofu).
- Grab any ordered side beverages (Water or Bloxy Cola) and hand the completed tray to the customer.
If your station runs out of eggs, meat cuts, or noodles, head to the storage area in the back room to restock your ingredients from the supply crates.
| Order Item Type | Available Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Broth Bases | Chicken Broth, Spicy Broth | Mandatory base for every standard bowl. |
| Core Requirement | Cooked Noodles | Broth without noodles causes an invalid order error. |
| Toppings | Beef Slices, Chicken Slices, Eggs, Green Onions, Tofu | Add only what the patron specifically requests. |
| Beverages | Water, Bloxy Cola | Grabbed directly from counter coolers when ordered. |
How to Spot Anomalies vs. Real Customers
Customers arrive continuously at your service window. To survive, you must evaluate their physical appearance and dialogue before handing over food.
Physical and Dialogue Tells
- Appearance Anomalies: Reject entities missing facial features, customers without heads, individuals with pitch-black pits instead of eyes, or patrons displaying visibly distorted necks and limbs.
- Dialogue Clues: Anomalies frequently hint at their unnatural state. Common lines include complaints that their face burns or hurts, remarks that people ignore them due to their appearance, eerie threats about making you their next victim, or complete dead silence while offering money.
- Window Protocol: If an entity displays distorted features or suspicious dialogue, do not hand them food. Shut the window on them. They will walk away, protecting your rating from an anomaly-service penalty.
Special Character Rules
| Customer / Anomaly | Behavior & Appearance | Required Player Action | Failure Consequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Clown | Approaches window demanding the "usual" order. | Do not deny him. Prepare and serve spicy broth ramen with cooked noodles and no toppings. | Refusing him or serving any wrong ingredient causes him to kill everyone. |
| The Tall Creepy Woman | Appears standing out in the dark street in front of the store. | Do not look or stare at her. Immediately use the counter telephone to call the Anomaly Control Unit and wait inside until status clears. | Staring directly at her triggers an instant lethal attack. |
| Red Flickering Lights | The interior shop lights turn red and flicker erratically. | Drop tasks and evacuate the building immediately through the doors. Wait outside until lighting normalizes. | Staying inside during the event results in sudden death. |
| Electrical Box Breakdown | Sparks fly from the breaker unit located around the back. | Walk around to the rear exterior wall and interact with the electrical box to repair power. | Leaves the kitchen dark and vulnerable until fixed. |
The Shift Shop and Game Passes
During downtime, players can access the in-game Shift Shop using income earned from successfully served orders, or acquire game passes from the Roblox store.
- In-Game Upgrades & Items: You can purchase utility items like the Fresh Start (resets your rating to 100), bribery protections (forgiving your next mistake without a rating drop), or troll novelty gear like the slippery banana peel and RPG launcher.
- OP Infinite Revives (199 Robux): Allows unlimited revives after death so your group does not have to restart the night.
- Jumpscare Everyone (189 Robux): Triggers a full-server jump scare once per session.
- OP Fling Sledgehammer (149 Robux): A tool to smack and knock around other players.
- Banana Peel Pass (39 Robux): Spawns slippery peels on the ground.
How to Get the Survived Ending
To complete the shift and earn the Survived Ending badge:
- Maintain your Service Quality Rating above zero by serving every legitimate order accurately.
- Reject anomalies by shutting the counter window, but always fulfill the Clown's exact spicy broth order.
- Call the Anomaly Control Unit via the telephone whenever the tall woman appears on the street, keeping your gaze away from her.
- Step outside whenever the shop flashes red.
- After processing the required quota of night-shift patrons, your objectives will update. Walk out of the shop, cross the street to the bus stop, and board the arriving bus to escape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you skip adding noodles if a customer asks for plain broth?
No. The kitchen mechanics require noodles inside the bowl alongside the broth. Serving a bowl missing noodles registers as an incomplete dish and lowers your rating.
What is the Clown's exact order?
When the Clown appears, serve him a bowl of spicy broth ramen with cooked noodles and zero toppings. Do not shut the window on him, and do not add eggs, vegetables, or meat.
What should you do when the tall woman appears outside?
Turn your camera away so you do not stare at her. Interact with the counter phone to contact the Anomaly Control Unit. Remain inside the store without interacting with anyone until the unit broadcasts that the anomaly status has cleared.
How do you fix the back breaker when power fails?
Head out through the back door to the exterior wall, locate the sparking electrical box, and hold the repair prompt until power is restored to the kitchen.
