Now Closed

Located in the purple zone and also a corner of Central is Ramen Santouka. This was their first outlet in Singapore. Their second outlet resides in Cuppage Plaza in Orchard Road. Santouka’s founder Hitoshi Hatanaka opened his own ramen shop at Hokkaido in 1988 because he was unsatisfied with all other ramen establishments. Its thin-noodle ramen with elegant broth topped perfectly with mouthwatering slices of char-siu pork and pickled plums gained popularity in Hokkaido immediately. Now in 2015,

This is my first visit to the restaurant as the ramen outlet is very strongly recommended.We ordered the Tokusen Toroniku Ramen or Pork Cheek Ramen. Believe this is their signature dish. The Toroniku Cha-shu toppings are served separately from the ramen. Their are about six or seven slices of pork cheeks. The plate of pork cheeks that i got has got a mixture of lean and fat meat.The first bite into the meat was heavenly. It is so succulent, tender, soft, smooth and moist. The texture of the meat

Read from review that it may be one of the best ramen here. Hence I decided to try it during their Anniversary offer for only $3.10 per bowl. The queen was long due to the promotion. I ordered the medium Miso Ramen. The soup episode rice and creamy and very delicious. The noodle is springy and a bit curly. I personally prefer straight ramen. It was serve hot which is good. Some ramen stall serves only Luke warm ramen. The ramen comes with spring onion, Japanese ifs cake, bamboo shoot and 2 thick

The restaurant is designed in a simplistic authentic Japanese style, in light wooden hues and white backdrop. It emits a warm, serene, cosy ambience that draws diners in. We liked the ceiling-floor glass windows that allows us a lovely view of Clarke Quay / Singapore River, making it a dining-with-a-view concept.I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen - pork broth with a hearty, rich miso paste, medium-sized wheat noodles, bamboo shoots and jelly ears - the Cha Shu (pork) is made from one certain part of

The Roasted Pork Cheek ($19.90) with a bowl of ramen was apparently a popular dish so I decided to go with that the other day. Indeed, the slices of Roasted Pork Cheek were lean and yet so very tender. There was no fatty meat at all yet it tasted so soft and delicious. They were very well braised and I loved the flavour in the meat. You could choose the soup base - shoyu (soya sauce), shio (salt), or miso. I took shoyu because I wanted to try something different from my usual shio. Shoyu was def

We queued for about 30 minutes or so for a table during peak dinner hours; seating is limited and the place is a little stuffy. I had the shio ramen with salmon roe rice and tamago set - soup was a little too salty but the ramen springy; liked the rice as the roe adds flavour to it, and the salmon bits are sufficient. My friend had the miso ramen with tonkatsu and chawanmushi - miso taste was strong and more distinct than the shio soup base. The tonkatsu was rather oily but well breaded. Overall

This cozy little outlet at The Central serves fantastic Pork Cheeks! Their ramen comes in ‘sizes’, hence if you have a big appetite, you can order the ‘L’ size ramen. I ordered the ‘S’ size ramen and portion of the ramen and pork cheeks are pretty generous. Each slice of pork cheek is well marinated and really tender. However, at times, the pork cheeks are ‘fattier’ and one might find it a little oily. But thankfully, my bowl of spicy ramen and pork cheek are perfect!

I absolutely love the pork cheek ramen here. The texture of their pork cheeks are so soft and tender, and the flavour is simply stunning. Words really can't describe how these would taste.As for the ramen, I love the texture too. It's firm and chewy, which is just how I enjoy my ramen. Also is not too eggy, which is good.Last visit, had the cold ramen, and it felt a bit strange cause I'm not really used to eating cold ramen noodles. But the flavours were still definitely there... and I loved the

Ramen Santouka serves one of the best ramen in town. This outlet is always filled with hungry-goers and by 7pm every evening, you have to start queuing. There are a few types of soup bases and all of them are very tasty! I personally like the spicy soup base! Howevdr today i am going to introduce their cold ramen. Happen to see a promotion in one of the coupon deals website. So bought it and and give it a try. This cold ramen is QQ and not over cooked. However the sauce is abit salty, hence do n

I love Japanese ramen! I have heard about Santouka serve great ramen but never had the opportunity to try it. I went the central to have lunch and spotted Santouka when I was browsing the shop directory at central. It was hidden in a corner if I didn’t read the signs I am sure I won’t be able to find it.Santouka @ The Central is small and cozy. I ordered the Pork Cheek (Tokusen Toroniku) Ramen! The pork cheek literally melt into my mouth! Yummy! Remember to put the pork cheek into the soup to he

Santouka is consistently touted as one of the best ramen places in Singapore and its popularity was clearly evidenced by the queue that was forming when I went there for dinner. Despite the crowd, service was good as the staff were efficient without being brusque. This really is a get in, eat, get out sort of dinner though so if you're looking for a more relaxed pace, you're better off elsewhere. It really is all about the ramen at Santouka. While Santouka really does serve up a good bowl of ram

Ramen Santouka has different soup bases for the ramen, like shio/shoyu/miso/spicy miso, and they come in three sizes! i love that. i chose the smallest size shoyu ramen ($12.50), and it was just the right size for me! (: loved the robust broth and springy noodles, and i was so full after that! and i loved the tamago!!! it was so delicious *drools*. it's really the very well-executed japanese egg which is slightly more than half-boiled inside (maybe 3/4? haha) so that the yolk is still gooey even

Specially went to try out Santouka's famous pork cheek ramen. Indeed, it live up to its name! The ramen were authentic and the soup base is good too. eating this makes me feel like I'm back to Japan. The main highlight is actually the pork cheek, which literally melts in my mouth!! too awesome. The noodles were very chewy too. Added a chawanmushi too and the steam egg were nicely flavored. A perfect meal to me. nothing to be unhappy about.However, do prepared to queue during peak meal hours. I d

Santouka is tied with Nantsuttei for the top tasting Ramen shops I've tried so far. Today, the shio ramen we had has maintained it's standards. The tonkotsu (pork bone broth) soup base is very flavorful with the right amount of saltiness combined with the sweetness from the pork bones. The hakata type of ramen is also cooked till the noodles are just springy. I prefer thinner noodles for my ramen, hence this suits me very well. Today's ramen egg is also of the type of consistency I like, with th

Many of my friends have been raving about Ramen Santouka for the longest time ever, and so I decided to give it a try when I was at Central. A bowl of ramen costs about $14, pretty standard, and the portion was also alright. I chose the shoyu ramen, in which the soup base is made from pork broth and soy sauce. It was a little too salty like most ramen, but it's comparatively better than certain stalls in ramen champion at bugis. Didn't like it that they don't include tamago (egg), and you'll hav
