Yoshimaru Ramen Bar (Closed)

This is a unique offering by Yoshimaru - I've not seen the use of yuzu in other restaurants' ramen before. There was a slight spiciness in the soup and the taste of yuzu was just right - not too strong nor subtle. At first I thought the taste of yuzu in a hot savoury soup was quite strange, but the more I drank it the more I liked it. For those who like yuzu, think you guys should give it a try!

Upon ordering, the staff will give you a small bowl of sesame. You can grind it first to release the fragrance and add the sesame to your ramen according to your preference.I can't remember the exact name of what I ordered but I believe this was an original flavour. Everything was not bad, just that the chashu slices were really thin and pathetic. I think there was only one slice, or at most two slices. Don't mind returning but wished they'd give more/thicker slices of meat.

It had been ages since I last visited Holland Village and I was rather surprised to see a number of new restaurants. One of them was Yoshimaru ramen bar, I thought it would be very nice to experience enjoying a hot slurping bowl of ramen by the bar counters.At a closer look into the restaurant, their settings was not the typicalJapanese settings which I had seen in the malls, thus it brings morecuriosity in me and we decided to give it a try.The walkway into the restaurant was rather narrow, per

By a twist of fate, I landed at Yoshimaru Ramen Bar for dinner - which was not a bad idea because I love ramen anyway! This is the where the famous challenge is conducted - finish the ramen in 12 minutes and it's free... failing to do so you pay $35. The ramen bowl is really huge with 3 eggs. Challenge ends on 22 June 2014 - only three more days left if you are interested. Well, you can also opt to be a normal customer - there are many yummy selections too!Yoshimaru is one of the rarer ramen pla

If you have been a fan of Yoshimaru Ramen Bar like I am, you would always be greeted by a wide array of side dishes which leaves you scratching you head, making that hard decision.After several trips down, I have found my ultimate favourite which I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a healthy side-dish which is crazy tasty too!The cold tofu rest on a bed of veggies and it is drenched in a tangy dressing which has a hint of citrus. I have tried this dish which a few of my friends and th

Yoshimaru Ramen Bar is located down that steep slope in Holland Village, next to 363 Katong Laksa and had a healthy crowd on a Thursday night. I always try to start from the basics whenever I try some place new, so I got the Traditional Hakata Ramen. The bowl of aromatic ramen arrived not too long later and at a glance, the amount of ingredients did not amaze me, especially since the ramen egg yolk looked a tad overcooked. But the taste. The taste was pretty good, more than satisfactory even. Th

Our 2nd visit after a long wait to finally try out their Shabu Shabu Beef Raman (we had a 50% off voucher that could only be utilised in Dec). As with our 1st visit, service was amicable and relatively fast despite the weekend dinner crowd. The Shabu Shabu Beef Raman ($14++) was indeed worth the wait. The soup base was light and exudes a hint of buttery fragrant aftertaste. The generous portions of thinly sliced Beef was flavourful and tender. The noodles were, as before, refined and chewy, a h

Friends had recommend this Japanese Ramen.Member of Jumbo cannot earn points or get any discount although it is open by Jumbo group. When I reached, I was quite shocked to see such a long queue. But service is good and fast.Service - Offer guest drink while waiting.Moridakusan Ramen(All-in)- Big portion, soup base has a strong pork taste. Love the ramen chewy. Meat is not fatty which I like.Cheesy Ramen- A new promotion dish. Curry taste is strong if more cheese is added is more best. Spicy Yuzu

Was on the lookout for something new to eat at Holland V but the cafés there closed pretty early, so I am back at Yoshimaru again!Looking for something a little different, we had ordered the sesame ramen which is served with a dark brownish sauce. It may not look appetising but life's short so why not?!There is a side of butter served with the ramen which makes the taste a little more rich and creamy!It is a little salty but the aftertaste has a very surprising spicy kick to it which caught us o

We were given the Suribachi and Surikogi (the official name for the Japanese mortar& pestle) to prepare our sesame paste for our Ramen. Good activity to keep as entertained while we wait for our food!Toasted Seaweed, Chashu, Seaweed, Cloud Ear Mushroom, Mentaiko, Soft Boiled Egg.This Ramen is sooo packed with the variety of ingredients in a thick flavorsome pork broth!Tasted pretty good though the broth was a littttttlleee bit muted in taste, which would definitely taste better if it was enhance

Located in a cozy corner of Holland Village, Yoshimaru is an eatery focused on selling japanese ramen. It is now having its' Ramen Challenge, in which people will be on the wall of fame when they are able to finish a large bow of their japanese ramen fast. Note that this isn't any ordinary ramen, but they have added ingredients such as 2 extra eggs, more meat, and more noodles! As of yet, the fastest eater is counting at 5 mins 26 seconds!!It is rather squeezy to enter and they have a glass door

So what so special about the ramen? Well, the difference I feel lies in their broth and noodles.Hakata ramen is cooked using tonkotsu (pork bone) which usually is the usual cloudy white broth. The broth is super rich in collagen( you can taste it!) The noodles are very thin and straight (something like marutama ramen).I took the original version but I find the taste is too bland for me.Prefer the garlic burnt ramen as the taste is stronger and the soup is nicerOverallFood : **3/4Customer service

Tried this amazing Hakata Remen, with fine ingredients : a) Tonkutsu Soupb) Char Siuc) Hard Boiled Eggsd) Black-ear Funguse) Spring OnionsThe portion is good enough for 3 to 4 persons sharing. The soup based is tasty, with nicely cut Char Siu. This you wouldn't want to give it a miss, definitely worth the money!

I am not a fan of ramen but decided to give yoshimaru ramen bar a try when we are around the holland village area. I had the moridakusan ramen (if I remember it correctly) which comes with their special pork bone soup base, pork slices and black fungus. I like how they add in the black fungus for the crunchiness as the other stuff that is inside the ramen is soft. makes it more unique by doing that. I like the soup base a lot too, very flavorful yet light. theres also a diy sesame topping bow

There are many eateries and pubs around Holland Village and this place caught my attention. The place had a decent amount of crowd, but luckily, it is not too noisy for chit chat with friends.The staff are very friendly, prompt and efficient in their service.I was in the mood to try something new and unique, and yet I want some variety. I spotted the the 3 Burgers (Prawn/ Chicken/ Pork) in the menu which looks cute, but it really was too MINI to be filling! The burger bun was soft and fluffy the
