01

The counter, worktables and bowl shelf

Where are the counter, worktable and bowls?

Select a number to read the matching description.

Customers sit around the wooden counter, with metal worktables and cooking equipment inside it. Stacked bowls line the rear shelf.
  1. The customer counter

    The broad wooden counter runs between the seated customers and the central workspace. Use its edge to distinguish the dining area from the equipment inside it.

    Back to image label 1 ↑
  2. The central metal worktable

    Pots, bowls and small containers occupy the metal table inside the counter. Spot this shared workspace before looking for an individual utensil.

    Back to image label 2 ↑
  3. Bowls on the back shelf

    Stacks of red-and-white bowls sit high on the rear wall, beside the tall metal cabinets. Their shape and colour make this shelf a useful landmark when reading the room.

    Back to image label 3 ↑

Read the scene

Read the room from the outside in. Customer seats follow the wooden counter, while pots, trays and bowls fill the central metal worktables. The red-and-white stacks at the back mark a separate place for bowls. This view brings the dining space, preparation area and cooking equipment into one picture; their positions help explain how the shop’s different jobs share the room.

Packaged ingredients beside the cooking pots

Find the supplies, pot and serving trays

Select a number to read the matching description.

An open box contains wrapped meat. A larger piece appears above a pot, beside wooden ingredient trays and red-rimmed serving trays.
  1. Wrapped meat

    Individually wrapped pieces of meat fill the open cardboard box in the foreground. The packaging distinguishes these supplies from the loose ingredients near the cookware.

    Back to image label 1 ↑
  2. The large metal pot

    A large open pot stands on the worktop behind the box. Its deep metal sides distinguish it from the shallow trays alongside it.

    Back to image label 2 ↑
  3. Stacked serving trays

    Dark rectangular trays with red edges are stacked to the right of the pot. Look for their flat surfaces and matching outlines.

    Back to image label 3 ↑

Read the scene

The open carton in the foreground holds individually wrapped meat, while a larger piece is visible above the central pot. Wooden ingredient trays sit farther back; the flat, dark trays with red edges sit beside the cookware. Comparing the containers makes the scene easier to read: packaged supplies, ingredients near the pots and serving equipment occupy different parts of this preparation area.

Noodle trays, a strainer and the hot station

Where are the noodles, strainer and cooking vessel?

Select a number to read the matching description.

Loose noodles fill the wooden tray at lower left. A handled wire strainer and steam are visible beside the wide cooking vessel.
  1. Noodles in a wooden tray

    The open tray at the lower left contains a loose pile of noodles, with another wooden tray underneath. This is the visible noodle supply in this scene.

    Back to image label 1 ↑
  2. The wire strainer

    A round mesh strainer holding noodles fills the right foreground. Follow its long wooden handle towards the bottom edge to recognise the tool separately from the large vessel behind it.

    Back to image label 2 ↑
  3. The steaming cooking vessel

    The wide metal vessel sits behind the strainer on the right, with steam visible above it. Its open rim helps distinguish this part of the cooking station from the smaller pots on the left worktop.

    Back to image label 3 ↑

Read the scene

The pale noodles at the lower left lie in an open wooden tray. Follow the long wooden handle in the foreground to the round mesh strainer, then look behind it for the wide metal vessel and rising steam. The smaller stock pots remain on the central worktop. These shapes distinguish the noodle supply, the handheld tool and the surrounding cookware within the same station.

Recognise the layers in a finished bowl

Find three toppings in the nearer bowl

Select a number to read the matching description.

Sliced pork, halved eggs, greens and upright seaweed sheets sit above noodles and broth in two different bowls.
  1. Seaweed sheets

    Large dark green sheets stand upright at the back of the nearer bowl. Their broad, flat shapes rise above the smaller toppings.

    Back to image label 1 ↑
  2. Halved eggs

    Two egg halves sit between the seaweed and the overlapping meat slices. The orange centres make them easy to distinguish from the pale noodles.

    Back to image label 2 ↑
  3. Sliced pork

    Overlapping pork slices with browned edges cover much of the front of the nearer bowl. The smaller slices in the farther bowl leave more of its noodles visible.

    Back to image label 3 ↑

Read the scene

Begin at the rim and work inward: broth fills the bowl, pale noodles show beneath the toppings, and overlapping pork slices spread across the surface. Halved eggs add bright orange centres. In the nearer bowl, broad seaweed sheets stand behind the pork and dark greens sit to one side. The farther bowl exposes more of its noodles and has pale strips near the centre.

An open gyoza cooker beside a closed lid

What does the pictured gyoza cooker look like?

Select a number to read the matching description.

Two rows of dumplings sit in the open left compartment. The neighbouring lid is closed; displays and buttons run along the front.
  1. Two rows of dumplings

    The left cooking surface is open, revealing two rows of dumplings. The flat rectangular compartment is a useful visual cue when distinguishing this appliance from the noodle station.

    Back to image label 1 ↑
  2. The raised left lid

    The left lid stands upright behind the dumplings. Beside it, another cooking surface has a closed metal lid and a long black handle. The raised lid makes the open surface easy to identify.

    Back to image label 2 ↑
  3. The front display and buttons

    A red display and small buttons sit on the front, below the open compartment. Use their position to recognise the pictured control panel when looking at the cooker.

    Back to image label 3 ↑

Read the scene

The raised lid reveals a shallow rectangular cooking surface with dumplings arranged in rows. Beside it, a closed metal lid and long black handle show how the neighbouring compartment looks when covered. The display panels sit below both cooking surfaces, facing the person at the station. This low, wide appliance is visually distinct from the deep pots and round strainer in the noodle scene.

Crates and trays coming through the shop

Three characters carrying produce crates and a wooden tray into the restaurant.Open full image ↗
Three characters carry produce crates and a wooden tray through the dining area, beside the open entrance.Wild Dog · official Steam screenshot ↗

Read the scene

The character nearest the doorway carries a long wooden tray, while the other two carry blue-green crates. One crate visibly holds green produce, and another rests on a table in the background. These are supply containers rather than plated orders. The scene connects the entrance and dining area with preparation work, showing a different part of running the shop from cooking at a fixed station.

A shuriken and targets beside the counter

Read the scene

A large dark shuriken fills the foreground, with circular targets mounted on the wall across the counter. Another shuriken is visible at the lower target. The nearby noodle tray, potted tree and lucky-cat ornament place the activity within the restaurant itself. Wild Dog also names shuriken among the tools for shop trouble, but this image shows targets rather than a thief or a completed defence.

Where these pictures come from

All eight scenes are from Wild Dog’s official Steam gallery or the developer’s game page. Every picture has a source link and opens at its original size. The images are unchanged; Ramen Sim HQ added the numbered labels and descriptions.

This guide helps you recognise what is pictured. Preview images can differ from the released game, and a screenshot cannot establish an input, timer, recipe ratio or selling price. See our editorial policy for how we distinguish official information, observations and tested advice.
