Been here many times and always look forward to their sardine tsukemen.
I like the dried tsukemen — the soup is rich and full of sardine and dried bonito flavour.
Noodles are chewy and springy. Really satisfying every bite.
Come early as there’s usually a queue.
Also tried the shrimp and avocado with mango sauce.
This one I’ll pass — the mango and mayo combo is too filling and a bit jelak.

Having just recently returned from northern Japan, I came looking for a taste of niboshi ramen. As I came in a big group, we ended up ordering almost every type of ramen available, but I only tried the signature shoyu ramen and the kotteri one, so this review is based on that. I preferred the shoyu one, which gave a taste closer to the ones I had in northern Japan. The kotteri one was probably intended to more creative, with pork fat and garlic added, which added different flavours, but they seem to go in different directions.
Ingredients wise, the noodles is quite different in texture from other ramen places, so I guess it’s a matter of personal preference. Charsiu and onsen egg were both very well done. Overall an enjoyable meal.

Second visit to this ramen shop at orchard road. Ordered spicy tsukemen again, but this time it doesn’t taste as good again. Part of it maybe because I was not really hungry. Despite that, I will still give the taste 8 out of 10, no argue that it’s better than average ramen in Singapore. The tsukemen broth is made using sardines, very flavourly and thickness is just nice.
Spiciness is actually slim to none.
To conclude, $17 before tax for this above average tsukemen is worth it once in a while. There will be short queue usually around 645-730pm.
Taste: 8/10
Atmosphere: 9/10
Price: 6/10
Recommend to try it.

I always see a long queue outside this ramen shop, so when I passed by earlier today and the queue was short, we decided to finally give it a try.
We ordered the Niigata Shoyu Ramen with special full toppings and the Maze Soba with aburi chashu.
I personally enjoyed the maze soba. The noodles were chewy and the sauce was rich and flavourful, making it the more satisfying dish for me.
The Niigata shoyu ramen, on the other hand, has a very light and clean broth. If you enjoy subtle flavours, this might suit you. But if you’re looking for something thicker and more punchy, I’d recommend choosing the tonkotsu instead.
One thing I still don’t quite understand is the long queue. It doesn’t seem to be due to food quality alone. The restaurant wasn’t full, and I could see the chefs standing around idling, which suggests there may be some inefficiencies in how seating or service is being managed.
Overall, decent ramen, but the queue doesn’t really match the experience.

My go to place if I crave for a good bowl of shoyu ramen, is at Sanpoutei (Shaw Center). The Tsukemen was their signature but I just felt that the sardine/bonito broth will be perfect if it’s thicker. I’ll recommend to order mini pork belly rice with egg, and add extra chashu to make up for more proteins.

I’m not a first-time customer—I’ve been here before and had great impressions of this restaurant, which is why this visit was so disappointing.
The ramen noodles served today were extremely low quality: very flat and thin, more like kway teow than ramen. I checked with the waitress, and she confirmed (after checking with the kitchen) that all noodle batches made today were not up to their usual standard. What bothered me most was being told there was nothing they could do about it.
For a restaurant that specializes in ramen, serving noodles the kitchen already knows are below standard—and offering no replacement —reflects poorly on quality control and the chef’s judgment. I hope they take this seriously, because I genuinely used to recommend this place.
Update:
The waitress kindly waived my ramen bill, which I appreciate. That said, I hope the food quality can be maintained more consistently.

Reached before 530pm and 3 groups in front of us. The queue started to get longer around 545pm.
We ordered a dry ramen and soup ramen. Huge portion!! The dry ramen dip have a smokey flavour with sardines. Interesting tastes but I still preferred the soup one.

Chanced upon this ramen restaurant. Was hesitant about eating ramen initially due to previous experience of having indigestion from eating ramen but didn’t get the same indigestion issue here probably due to better ingredients used. Tried miso, tonktasu and the sardine based broth ramen. Really like the rich and creamy tonkatsu broth. Also like the fried chicken. There is always a queue at the restaurant but the queue clears quite quickly. Highly recommended this place.

This is truly a great ramen place. The soup is very well made with raw ingredients and they are made with great heart, because the aroma and fullness of the soup is outstanding.
Before I forget they have a 7-8 range of good sake, that you can order by the glass, so you can sample 2-3 different sake, without buying a half or full bottle. And the sake really taste great, with good aroma, balance, and fragrance. Loved it.
Back to the noodle, it is al dente, so it is bouncy and chewy, just the raight spongeyness. The soup as I mentioned is really good quality because you can taste is freshness and richness.
We ordered one with the Shoyu and the other is the Sardine broth, both were excellent. The soup was good all to the last spoon!
We started the night with Oden, and it is served with the usual stuff and it comes with mustard. And it goes very well with the egg, radish, fish roll, etc etc.
We also ordered the cucumber appetizer that comes with a spicy miso sauce. And i liked it because it creates freshness in the mouth betweent he spoons of delicious noodle that you are having.
Last but not least the service was good. The people looked tired, so you need to wave or call out to them to get attention. IT is not a deal-breaker, but i do think that they have take care of their own staff, as one can clearly see the outlet is making money.
The long queue is to be taken seriously. If you go after 6.30pm you may have to wait for 45 mins or more. So go before 6.15pm to get a good table fast. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for high quality ramen.

The signature tsukemen is superb.
Noodle is springy and the broth is just nice to my taste (not too sweet / salty)
No queue around 11.30am on a weekday..
