Introduction
<BR>Established in 1969, Baikohken was inspired by plums found in commoners' ramen. They take pride in their ramen made from fresh ingredients with minimised use of artificial flavouring and preservatives. Baikohken opened their first overseas store in Singapore and has since expanded to 2 stores in Singapore (Ngee Ann City and Boat Quay) with numerous stores throughout Japan.

Signature Dishes
When I first tried the ramen here, I was overwhelmed by the huge serving of ramen and the thick slices of char-siew in it. Needless to say, I couldn’t finish it on my own. However, recently I decided to hav it again and realized that the portions have shrunk! The ramen given was lesser and the slices of pork were not as thick. Hmmm, I wonder if it’s because many customers were not finishing their meals? Anyway, the noodles here are slightly thicker, but springy with a good bite. All three soup bases: Shoya, Shio and Miso are good though my preference would be the Shoya one as it is richer in taste.

I found this little Japanese ramen shop through online food reviews recently which highly recommend its ramen. It is pretty near to my new office at One Raffles Place.If you know where the Boat Quay MacDonald's is, you should have no problem finding this little restaurant as it is the road next to Mac. We were lucky we reached the restaurant at about 11.40am, as a queue started to form after we ordered our ramen & sat down.There is only GST charge at this little restaurant, but the price you see on the menu is already inclusive of GST. You need to order & pay at the counter before you can be seated to wait for your ramen to be served. Since the signature ramen here is Miso Ramen - half portion ($10.50), & according to the cashier it is not as strongly flavoured as Shoyu Ramen, I decided to order this. My colleague ordered the Shoyu Ramen - half portion ($12.00) & we both decided to add an egg each to our ramen ($1.50 each). There wasn't a wide variety of choices in the restaurant as they only serve 3 types of ramen & 2 types of don. Guess it's a very traditional type of Japanese ramen shop......Oh you must be thinking why we both ordered half portion only? Because I read reviews that the normal portion is huge & hence we didn't want to make ourselves so bloated. My ramen was wonderful! The soup base wasn't very salty, in fact just right for me, & I almost finished the soup in the end! This is rare for me given that most Japanese soups are very salty to me hehe. The charsiew that came with the ramen was quite a big piece, very generous, & wow, it was really tender! I think it has been the best Japanese Miso Ramen that I have eaten so far? hehe and the half portion is just right for ladies I guess.I will definitely visit this ramen place again if I have a craving for it during lunch, but must make sure I reach there before 12pm! ;)

Baikohken is always crowded during lunch time and finally the other day I got a chance to have lunch there. The food was not as fantastic as it seemed. The ramen were pricey, range from $10 to $20. I ordered the ramen with pork slices which costs $16. I felt the soup base and the pork were salty. The entire meal experience was just average.

i love japanese food, especially gyoza. i have no idea where it originates from, in china there is dumpling, japan there is gyoza. i simply love both. i normally dip my gyoza with the japanese shoya soya sauce. got a refreshing taste. the chinese dumpling normally goes with the vinegar and ginger. this store's dumpling is quite delicious!

Prior to this visit i've been to Baikohken once. It didn't leave much impression. Ordered the shio ramen that time and sadly the soup was very bland.After reading ieatishootipost list of top 10 ramen. I decided to give this place a try again.Heeded the advice from the blog and had a shoyu charsiew ramen and boy was i not disappointed.The charsiew are tender and not too fat. And they're really very generous with their portion. They gave 5-6 slices of the charsiew and i was in for a treat! Ramen is curly and Q enough. Just the way i like my noodles. Shoyu soup base tasted robust with a nice aromatic flavour brought out by the soya sauce. The bamboo shoots were very disappointing here, the smell was abit overbearing and i do think they should have sliced it thinner. And their egg yolk wasn't runny enough. Overall its a great bowl of shoyu ramen and definitely value for ramen. I will be back. =)
