Best ramen in Singapore

---

Singaporeans love Japanese food, and it shows in the number of Japanese restaurants all around the island. Ramen in particular is a crowd-favourite dish—every Singaporean mall you go to will likely have a ramen restaurant or two. We’ve picked out some of the best ramen in Singapore for the next time you’re looking to feast on this popular Japanese noodle dish.

---

1. Ebi Bar

---

While we often associate ramen with tonkotsu broth, fusion restaurant Ebi Bar shakes things up with their rendition of seafood ramen that nods to local hae mee, as well as the classic Japanese noodle dish. This hidden gem eatery in Cuppage Plaza has made waves for their Signature “Chao Da” Ebi Noodles ($15.90), comprising a prawn noodle broth made from 40kg of prawn shells, slowly simmered for over eight hours to extract all the crustacean’s natural umami goodness. Each portion also comes with QQ noodles, two huge charred tiger prawns, Hanjuku eggs, and pan-seared chicken breast. There’s no MSG that goes into the dish here, nor any pork or lard.

For those working in the Orchard or Somerset area and are looking for a unique lunchtime option, head down to Ebi Bar for satisfying prawn ramen that’s truly one-of-a-kind. The eatery is also a great pick to jio your friends to, the next time you are all looking for a novel dining experience.

2. Kikanbo

---

For spice lovers: Tokyo-famous Kikanbo has an outlet in VivoCity, serving up “karashibi” miso ramen that features a blend of original miso, red-hot chilli peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and sansho peppers to create a spicy and numbing effect. Their bestselling Niku-Niku Karashibi Miso Ramen ($22.90) comes with two humongous slabs of pork belly, braised for more than 20 hours to achieve a melt-in-your-mouth texture and intense flavour. The broth is deep and flavourful, and you can choose your spice level ranging from mild to “oni-mashi” (greater demon level).

3. Mensho Tokyo

---

Mensho Tokyo is a ramen brand by chef Tomoharu Shono that has consistently been featured in the Michelin Guide, and has earned awards such as Tokyo Ramen Of The Year and Ramen Walker Grand Prix, so you know the ramen here is pretty darn good. Their Signature Toripaitan ($28++) has a rich, creamy chicken soup, and is joined by a trio of A5 Wagyu, smoked pork, duck, and chicken chashu. They also have an A5 Wagyu Shoyu Aburasoba Ramen ($41++), which sports two types of Miyazaki A5 Wagyu. 

Mensho has opened a fast-casual eatery concept as well, dubbed Mensho X, which can be found at Raffles Place and Weave RWS.

4. The Ramen Stall

The silky, collagen-rich broth at The Ramen Stall is the product of a painstaking, 30 hour-long slow-cooking process, where bones are steadily boiled to fully extract all their goodness. Their Volcano Chicken Ramen ($13.90++) is a must-try if you enjoy some spice with your ramen. You can also choose your spicy level to cater to your tolerance. Else, The Ramen Stall also has meatless ramen options! They’re also halal and open till late.

5. Ramen Keisuke Tori King 

---

Paitan ramen is the star at Ramen Keisuke Tori King, one of the many names under the Ramen Keisuke franchise. The broth here is built upon chicken bones, chicken feet, Japanese seaweed, and a medley of vegetables, collectively boiled for eight hours to achieve a comforting depth. Try this for yourself when you order their Tori King Ramen (from $12.90++), which comes with an entire roasted chicken leg, as well as runny Hanjuku eggs. Another perk about dining at Ramen Keisuke is the unlimited marinated beansprouts and hard-boiled eggs you get to enjoy as a starter!

Address: 100 Tras Street, #03-15, 100AM, Singapore 079027
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 11:30am to 2:30pm, 5pm to 9:30pm, Sat-Sun 11:30am to 9:30pm

6. Bari Uma 

---

Hiroshima ramen chain Bari Uma is known for their heady tonkotsu broth, which they dub the strongest in Singapore. The attention to detail here is rigorous: Bari Uma makes their soup with ingredients imported from Japan, and the noodles are all made fresh in-house daily.

The Zeitaku-Uma Ramen ($23.90++) offers a little bit off everything, as it comes with their signature shoyu broth, QQ noodles, Hanjuku eggs, bamboo shoots, thick grilled pork belly slices, and other toppings. If you prefer a lighter soup, Bari Uma also offers more delicate shoyu-based ramen on their menu.

Address: 273 Thomson Road, #01-03/04 Novena Gardens, Singapore 307644

7. Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen 

---

Ichikokudo is Singapore’s leading halal ramen chain, with eight outlets islandwide. Their chicken broth is slow-cooked and layered with notes of bonito and mackerel, as well as air-flown Hokkaido kelp. They’ve got many ramen broths on the menu, ranging from shoyu to miso, but we recommend zoning into their Hokkai Ramen range, which is flavoured with sea salt, garlic, and fresh seafood. The Hokkaido Clams (from $14.90++) option, for example, sees Asari clams adding a lovely brininess to the soup, while a pat of Hokkaido butter adds a sinful slick of fat to every spoonful.

8. Tonkotsu King Four Seasons

---

Another Keisuke outfit making this list is Tonkotsu King Four Seasons, where a unique concept inspired by the seasons takes centre stage. There are four tonkotsu ramen flavours you get to choose from—Spring (from $12.90++), seasoned with basil oil and cheese; Summer (from $13.90++), drizzled with chilli oil and a spicy pork mince; Autumn (from $13.90++), an umami powerhouse thanks to the addition of bonito and fried mushrooms; and Winter (from $11.90++), a no-frills bowl served with simple pork bone broth, and stir-fried pork slices perfumed with ginger.

Address: 158 Rochor Road, Bugis Village, Singapore 1884433
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 11:30am to 2pm, 5pm to 10pm, Sat-Sun 11:30am to 9:30pm

9. Menbaka 

---

Menbaka, home of the theatrical fire ramen, drew hour-long queues when it first arrived in Singapore. Thankfully, the hype has pared back now, especially after relocating to The Centrepoint, so you’ll have no trouble scoring a table. Bowls of ramen are set on fire before the eyes of diners, so you’ll get quite the show with every order. Get their Shoyu Fire Ramen ($17.90++), served with a chicken-based broth that is stewed with two types of dried fish, and a 200+ year-old blend of shoyu. Each bowl is generously topped with negi, as well as negi oil, so fair warning to the scallion-averse. Keep an eye out for their seasonal flavours too!

10. Torasho Ramen And Charcoal Bar

---

Torasho Ramen And Charcoal elevates tonkotsu ramen with twists that range from truffle ragout to uni. The bowls here are certainly luxurious, though their price points won’t hurt your wallet. Apart from their soupy options, Torasho has some dry ramen offerings that come highly recommended, including their signature Torasho Pork “Bak Chor Mee” ($16++), a riff on the local hawker dish, with generous lashings of lard oil. They’ve also got a premium Uni Tonkotsu Ramen ($26+++), served with uni sashimi and a uni-infused pork bone broth.

Address: 32 Tras Street, Singapore 078972
Opening hours: Daily 11:30am to 3pm, Sun-Mon 6pm to 9:30pm, Tue-Thurs 6pm to 10:30pm, Fri-Sat 6pm to 3am

11. Ramen Hitoyoshi

---

Image credit: @bokettokeeps

This franchise is the brainchild of two ex-Keisuke chefs, who’ve put their own spin on familiar ramen flavours. This fuss-free eatery is especially popular for their Tonkotsu with All Topping ($18.90++), featuring a medley of classic ramen toppings, as well as their labour-intensive soup, which is boiled for eight hours, then chilled overnight, before being reheated for service. The cooling process adds to the fattiness of the broth. Also, enjoy free-flow marinated beansprouts, as well as sweet corn here.

12. Ippudo

---

Ippudo is hard to exclude from a list of the best ramen in Singapore, given how they’re both ubiquitous and oh-so-reliable. They’ve got 11 outlets in Singapore, and a menu that’s got something for everyone, whether you’re craving a light or intense bowl of ramen, served with soup or dry. There are even plant-based options, and a healthy selection of other Japanese mains if you’re not in the mood for noods. Those stuck on what to order can get the Shiromaru Motoaji (from $17++), served with their OG tonkotsu broth.

13. Enishi

---

Enishi hails from Kobe, where they were awarded a place on the local Michelin Bib Gourmand list. They’ve brought the concept over to Singapore, but the eatery still goes the extra mile to import all their ingredients from Japan. There are only two items on the menu here, the dry Dan Dan Noodle ($19.80++), and the soupy Japanese Dashi Noodle (from $18.80++). The former comes with flatter wheat noodles, akin to mee pok but with a bite, and a dimensional mala seasoning that you can elevate with three types of house-made vinegars. The latter is a clear-broth ramen, livened with yuzu, and served with slices of smoked duck, as well as smoky chashu slices.

14. Brothers Ramen

---

Brothers Ramen is a popular spot at Tanjong Pagar that was founded by two brothers, as their name suggests. The classic Brothers Ramen ($14.90++) comes with most of the must-haves in a good bowl of ramen: springy noodles, tender chashu pork, and soft bamboo shoots. It also has an ultra-rich broth enhanced with chicken oil. The cheapest item on the menu, the Megamen Light ($12.90++),  surprisingly has a staggering amount of ingredients piled atop the noodles, and resembles the cult-favourite Jiro Ramen for their insane portion sizes.

New ramen eatery Ramen Soshiji serves special ramen varieties from lesser-known prefectures in a cosy 12-seater space at Orchard Plaza. The most unique offering here is their Ginger Shoyu Ramen (from $13.80+), a lesser-seen style of ramen originating from Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, which blends savoury umami shoyu with the refreshing zing of ginger. Their Iekei-Style Ramen (from $15.80+) melds Hakata-style tonkotsu broth with Tokyo-style chicken shoyu stock. You can also get the decadent Jiro Style Ramen (from $15.80+), known for its large portion sizes, which you can upsize to Mashi Mashi x3 ($19.60+).

16. Ramen-ya

---

Tucked in a quiet corner of East Village in Bedok is Ramen-ya, an eight-seater ramen stall attracting long queues despite its hidden location. Their Special Shio Ramen ($13.80) has an incredibly rich and thick broth, coming with thick Sapporo-style noodles and torched chashu pieces. The Special Tonkotsu Red ($14.80) is even more full-bodied, and comes with an added spicy kick from the chilli oil. Be prepared to brave the queues here, as this spot is really popular!

17. Kajiken

Kajiken in Tanjong Pagar frequently sports long queues, and for good reason: they’re one of the best dry ramen spots in Singapore. The mazesoba joint brands themselves as Japan’s number one spot for the dry ramen dish, and they’ve got quite the variety for you to choose from. The house signature here is the Taiwan Mazesoba ($14.80++), which comes with spicy minced pork, nori, chopped scallions, and a runny egg. Mix them all together for 20 seconds—it’s what the Kajiken recommends—before digging in. Another popular menu item is the Grilled Cheese with Cod Roe Mazesoba ($18.30++), a super creamy, umami mazesoba that’ll hit the spot for carbonara fans.

18. Tonkotsu Kazan Volcano Ramen

---

If you’re looking for good ramen that’s got some novelty to it, then Tonkotsu Kazan is a great restaurant to check out. They’re best known for their Beef Sukiyaki Kazan ($18.80++) ramen, where diners get their noodles served in a piping hot stone bowl, topped with a mountain of sukiyaki beef shaped to resemble a volcano. It’s quite the interactive experience, as you get to watch hot broth poured over your ramen to “cook” the beef. If that’s too much of a fuss for you, then they’ve also got regular ramen offerings from $13.80++.

19. Nantsuttei

---

Award-winning ramen restaurant Nantsuttei hails from Tokyo, and has become renowned for their shoyu ramen topped with “ma-yu”, a black garlic oil made from the chef’s secret recipe. So, if you’re a fan of black garlic ramen, Nantsuttei is the restaurant to visit. Try their Chashu-men (from $16.40++) if you want to have a taste of their signature. Each comes with their QQ ramen and their tender chashu, made with high-quality pork loin. If you love your ramen spicy, then try their Hot Miso Ramen ($17++), with customisable spice levels.

Hakata Ikkousha’s ramen offerings are relatively simple: you choose between different types of broth bases, whether it be shoyu, shio, or miso, and have that with a selection of classic toppings. What sets them apart, however, is their 20-hour ramen broth, which imparts whatever ramen you order with an intense depth of flavour. Prices start at $14++ for their Tonkotsu Shio ramen.
