Singapore's Top 10
Ramen
Ramen was introduced to Japan after World War II, when Japanese troops returning from China and other parts of East Asia decided to set up their own Chinese restaurants and re-create the simple noodle dish sold by Chinese push-cart vendors around the region. Consisting of freshly made wheat-flour noodles, various toppings and a pork-based broth, Ramen, originally known as "Chinese Soba", has since become a staple part of Japanese cuisine. In fact, most districts in Japan today have their own signature-style of ramen - Miso Ramen from Hokkaio and Ie Kei Ramen from Yokohama - with the difference styles defined only by the type of toppings and broth used in its preparation.

Discussion on Singapore's Best Ramen
If you are a restaurant owner offering great Ramen, email us here!
Why is Nantsuttei Ramen not in the top ten?
I have tried Tampopo(no.1? wad a joke), Aoba(soup base nt gd enuff), Marutama(wah lau like eat yew mee can?), Men-tei(.....), Beppu(you call dis ramen?) etc,... ultimately Ichibantei @liangcourt/riverside is stil the best(Tonkotsu ramen! i always upsize my charsiew). Regardless which outlet, it still tastes good and authentic. Seeing the craze over ippudo, I will go try it next..
Tampopo is top on the list becos they appealed for votes (in the form of advertisement at the outlet). I've tried the top 5 on the list. My verdict: Ippudo and Santouka are far superior.
Tampopo? No way! Is the system fixed? How come most #1s are under SC program?
Ippudo is the best.
sucks lor Ippudo ........... so expensive and ramen so little only.......... check out their pathethic small gyoza.........
I don't deny that MARUTAMA RAMEN is good same goes to SATOUKA too after i had try before . Cause they don't leave any MSG taste after finishing . And i did went to TAMPOPO @ Liang court to try their ramen . And is really fantastic cause it takes more than 1 day to get the very thick pork bone soup base.
I like Ippudo if in Singapore, Is my taste..
Ichibantei rules!!!
Yeah I agree Black Pig Shabu Ramen is the best. But hello... Wake up Tampopo Restaurant in Liang Court is at Level 1 alreadi lo. Don't enter into the wrong restaurant. ^_^
NOODLE HOUSE KEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG BOWL, GOOD SOUP! SHIOK AH!
Ichibantei at Liang Court basement is good! Tampopo wasn't that fantastic...
You have already said this is Singapore, what more can you expect, try asking Japan food fair to fry hokkien mee or char kuay teow :)
Black Pig Shabu Ramen by Tampopo Restaurant, Liang Court Basement is the best!!!! Yummy...
RAMEN FTW!!!
rferee
(Y) TAMPOPO ! Another good one is e one at CUPPAGE PLAZA ! ROCKED TTM ! RAMEN LOVERS SHOULD GO AND TRY !
Beppu Manken Ramen at China Square Central is the best ramen i have had. Their spicy kyushu soup base is just superb.
baikohken and kyo nichi are both bestest!
Noodle House Ken is good. The soup base is boiled for hours using pork bones.
"Marutama Ra-Men is only rank 7? gosh shldn'nt it be the top few and not the bottom few? they have the best brew. how do they come out wit this list?" Hey genius, if you haven't realised by now - the rankings are determined by voting.
I vote for Tonkutsu ramen from Ichibantei (Liang Court) :)
Tampopo sucks! Marutama is the best!!
Tried the mixed soup ramen at Santouka last week and I think it's quite good!But I have to agree that the soup left me feeling thristy for the rest of the day so maybe there's lots of msg? The egg at Marutama is really good but I think the ramen and the soup is not nice. Tampopo didn't leave a deep impression. I guess I'll try Ippudo soon!
Here's what i think of Ramen In Singapore: Tried Santouka, the salty broth leave a bad msg infected dry spell. got to drink lot of water. Rip off Price at $20 per bowl!! Tried Marutama Ramen, 1 pathethic piece of 0.5mm slice of pork char siew + maggi mee. also another Rip off Price at $12 per bowl!! + Staff speak to me in Japanese while i order in English!. Hellooo..wake up. This is Singapore lah. Huh? still got so many votes for this? After this, i avoid all Ramen Stalls here. Trust me, if you ever tried those in Japan You know what i mean. Maybe I just wait for the Japan food fair. I believe only the Japanese Ramen Shifu can do the job.
You all should try baikohken.. Its value for money and its char siew is heaven!!! huh.. Tampopo?? must be their own stuffs vote de.. -_-".. The chef at baikohken is brought in from Japan Baikohken.. you all should check it out..
OMG!!!!! this listing sucks! Marutama Ra-Men is only rank 7? gosh shldn'nt it be the top few and not the bottom few? they have the best brew. how do they come out wit this list? by their own favourites, knowledge or biasness?
Go Ippudo!! You are the best
Being die hard ramen enthusiast. I find that ramen from Tampopo Restaurant gives a natural flavour and taste. The soup stock is excellent as it is refreshing and rich.
definately is Tampopo, so far the best ramen i have had anywhere
I like Marutama. It is popular, that's why no need the StandChart to sponser for the 15 % discount I guess.
huh? Tampopo? Is there some mistake? It's not even good.
yoshimaru!!!
I heard that aijiman is good? though i havent had the chance to try it yet
Absolute blasphemy that Marutama is not here. I've tried all on the list and tampopo definately does not belong as no1.
looks like Ramen is the new bubble tea craze. Since we're on the topic, I tried a new-ish ramen joint at Paragon's basement and it was not good. Spend your calories at Tampopo or Santouka any day!
Try Yoshimaru!!! u will luv it. :)
My GOD!!! how the hell did Yu Sai Shoku got into the list?? Shouldn't Marutama be in the list instead? Yu Sai Shoku is just an imitation of other jap restaurant.
Aoba is very good... one outlet in B3 ION and now in Vivocity (level 1 somewhere) Hokkaido influenced Ramen... great value and delicious soup base Tampopo... tried it... didn't make me go 'wow!' has to be Aoba for me...
Hmm... Not all the restaurants have a tie up with stand chart so not entirely true that this list is dubious. Ramen only has 2 with stand chart offers. But yah where is marutama? Should HGW be responsible instead?
Different people got different view on marutama, as people said one people meat, maybe another people poison. But i do notice that those past Top no.1 are those in collaboration with S.C
Tampopo is the best!
marutama sucks!
I will cast my vote on Marutama... but it's not here. It's the best!
Just went Tampopo few days ago. No way it's the best. Where is Nantsuttei? Too new? How did they come up with the list. Based on previous shortlists, highly inaccurate 'contest'.
Ippudo for me! the noodles is wonderful and they have the best soup! it's not too salty or oily too
the fact that marutama is not on the list makes the rest of the choices very suspect....how to trust this top 10 list???
Men-tei Ramen also cmi.......
Marutama where got nice..........
Ken! ippudo is nice but expensive. and super noisy!
Marautama should be in the list for god's sake. Santouka is not even close!
Kyo-Nichi Ramen @ Marina Square needs to be added to this list!
Where is Marutama Ramen! this list seems to be sponsored by Standard Chartered.... does S.C. not support Marutama for various reason???
Santouka & Baikohken the BEST liao lor...............
ippudo not nice and yet so exp.....
why is Marutama Ramen not in the list?? The egg itself already beats the current #1 in the list
so sad that basketball ramen is not inside
pfft... who define this list?
Ya how about marutama! Its the best so far!
How can Marutama Ra-Men not be in the list?!?!
Yoshimaru. Thumbs up
Ramen Monster @ Velocity!
tampopo
Ippudo @ Mandarin Gallery wins by a mile.
I don't know how to use this
Kyonichi Ramen at Far East Square!
Santouka (The Central@Clarke Quay) One of the best in Singapore!!! The soup base is fantastic!!!
Marutama Ra-Men (The Central @ Clarke Quay)!!! Love the egg!!!
