In the last few years, it seems that a lot of Ramen House sprouting around in Singapore. The positive side of this, we are getting more quality ramen sold in Singapore, and is satisfying LD's cravings for good quality ramen that she had tasted in Hawaii. Daikokuya Ramen is one of the new ramen shop that open in recent years and offers a variety of regional ramen specialities such as Sapporo, Tokyo & Kyushu-style ramen in a contemporary and relaxing atmosphere. Located at the entrance of myVillage in Serangoon Garden, the store can be consider small as it only can accommodate less then 30 customers. The surrounding glass wall allowed passerbys to check out the delicious food served in the shop. However, this glass wall also works to the disadvantage of the shop. The shop location seems to bear the brunt of direct afternoon sunlight and turn the temperature inside the shop up. The central aircon is insufficient to cool down the dining area which we experience during our visit. For ramen, I normally like my soup base to be solid and robust, therefore Tonkatsu Cha Shu Ramen ($15.90) was my pick. The ramen is springy (QQ) and the Cha Shu, although it is quite lean, it turns to be very tender and flavourful. It shows that the Cha Shu has gone through a long cooking process and well marinated. The broth has a white milky colour, thick with a sticky collagen feeling coming out from the bones.On the other hand, Little Devil ('LD') prefer a more clear type of soup. So she decided on Cha Shu Shoyu Ramen ($15.80). The broth is much lighter compare to mine, more like a clear soup, however the shoyu (soy sauce) give the broth a distinct flavour. The ramen texture are consistent, al dente and springy (qq), while the Cha Shu is tender and flavourfulFor side dish, we ordered Mentaimayo Gyoza and Leek Mayo Gyoza ($6.80 each). Both the gyoza nicely pan fried until crispy on the outside. I find that Japanese Gyoza normally has a stronger taste from the leek. The good thing about Mentaimayo Gyoza, it has salted cod roe toppings and mayonnaise that helps to cover the smell and give a nice salty creamy flavour. The service here is quite minimum. Although there are not many customer, it seems that the service staff is having problem clearing the table quick enough for the next round of customers and always slow in handling the customer order. Improvement is definitely needed in this area.Overall, we find the ramen here is good and consistent. However, it seems to be missing something to elevate the ramen to the next level. Avoid visiting this place during a hot afternoon, unless you like to enjoy your bowl of ramen while you're sweating. However on any other time, Daikokuya will be sufficient to satisfy your ramen cravings.

It was ordinary in taste but generous in portions! We were even saying that it should be Prawn & Corn salad for the amount of corn which was thrown in!I love love love this dish out of everything else in the restaurant! The fillings were flavoursome and juicy and the meat was minced so well that it just breaks apart the moment bite into it!For garlic lovers (like me!), you can enjoy the thick, full flavoured pork bone soup of the Stamina ramen which comes with generous serving of vegetables and cha shu that literally melt in your mouth. 3 thumbs up!Om Nom nom.. Pretty good broth but stamina ramen is the definite winner in my mind!Definitely not a recommended item for me. The Cha Shu was dry and doesn’t really taste fantastic. Just a piece of pork to me honestly. Place your money else where for this one.

http://phuachiuyen.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/daikokuya-ramen-dining/The ramen is good! Very flavourful and portion's quite big. You can add $3 to $5 for a set meal that comes with salad, side dish and drink, which I thought was quite worth it.Price of ramen around $12 to $15 per bowl.Pretty crowded so might need to wait for seats. Staff generally very friendly and helpful.

Ramen here was alright. I tried a Sapporo Kyushu ramen which is a ramen in a pork-based broth. The soup wasn’t too heavy and hence easily downed with the ramen. Noodle-wise, I wasn’t a fan of the thick noodles. The service here was good and staff was attentive. All in all, I deem the ramen here decent and satisfying if you’re hungry and cold, but nothing great that will make me want to come back.
