A traditional Japanese meal dating back centuries;
Ramen is the Japanese take on Chinese wheat noodles, often served in a meat broth with toppings such as sliced pork, a soft-boiled egg, scallions, and nori. However you enjoy your ramen, there’s no denying it’s a foolproof hearty and comforting meal at any time of the year. Here are the best spots dishing up mouth watering bowls of ramen in Singapore.
Earning the title of #1 ramen restaurant in London, Kanada-Ya is beloved globally. The award-winning restaurant certainly knows their stuff when it comes to ramen, and it’s evident when browsing through their extensive menu.
Kanada-Ya allows for a good amount of customisation, offering a base ramen with plenty of additional toppings and garnishings to create the perfect bowl for you. Their bowls range from classic tonkotsu and spicy yuzu ramen to more contemporary flavours such as their truffle bowl and black garlic ramen. If you’re looking for tried and tested quality ramen – Kanada-Ya is the place to go.
Break up your Orchard Road shopping trip with a refuelling visit to Sanpoutei Ramen. Going the extra mile to import quality ingredients from Niigata, Japan, Sanpoutei really cares about what goes into their ramen to make each bowl as good as it can be. Their handmade noodles are the cherry on top of an already delicious warm bowl of ramen.
The menu offers seven different types of ramen – our top picks being their Rich Tori x Nikumori Miso ramen and their classic Tonkotsu blend. Rich, creamy, and comforting, Sanpoutei has been creating their signature ramen since 1967, which means it’s got to be good.
Really putting in the work, The Ramen House lets their meat and bones boil for 30 hours, resulting in tender, fall-apart meat and a rich, milky, and smooth broth. Added to the broth are Ramen House’s springy noodles, with all the best toppings to create a heart warm bowl.
The menu offers eight different ramens, including Kimchi with minced pork, Pork Belly, Mushroom, Cha Shu, Beef, Vegetable, and their Volcano Ramen with your choice of level 1, 2, or 3 spice. With each bowl coming in at less than $14, you’re getting a quality ramen at an unbeatable price.
Specialising in Tonkotsu (pork bone originating from Hakata-ku, Fukuoka), Ikkousha Hakata gets its name from it’s hometown, famous for their Tonkotsu ramen. Ikkousha spends a majority of the day boiling carefully cleaned pig bones, creating the thick and creamy soup frothing with bubbles, a telling sign of a good Tonkotsu broth.
Following the authentic and traditional method of creating ramen this way results in an undeniable detectable flavour palette that is hard to find at any old ramen joint. While the menu offers a range of tempting flavours, we have to suggest their OG Tonkotsu Special for your first visit.
Last but not least, Tonkotsu Kazan Volcano Ramen takes their rightfully earned spot on our best ramen list for their unique method of serving up their delicious ramen. With any visit to Tonkotsu Kazan, you’ll watch your ramen be created right in front of you.
Witness the talented chefs cook up your ramen in 400 degree hot stone bowls, ending with a Volcanic Eruption before the ramen is placed perfectly in front of you to enjoy. The handmade chewy ramen noodles are the star of their soups, with the choice of thick or thin noodles to suit your taste.
