Cluck Cluck Slurp:

On one side you’ll find Cluck Cluck, a rotisserie dedicated to serving up fresh chicken and pork as well as fresh salads and sandwiches prepared with local produce from Riverside’s very own market vendors.

Slurp is our conjoint Japanese-style ramen shop, where slow-cooked pork and chicken bones form the base for deliciously rich and full-bodied broths. Each dish is topped with a colourful assortment of vegetables, and a perfectly marinated soft-boiled egg. The signature Tonkotsu ramen is a fan favourite, but with a range of vegan and vegetarian options, there’s a bowl to suit all dietary requirements and lifestyles.
