Daikokuya Ramen Dining (已結業)

For more food review, visit www.umakemehungry.comDaikokuya is located at the basement of Paragon Shopping Centre serving Japanese Cuisine. While most of the restaurants are hogged with waiting queues outside their doors, we choose to dine in Daikokuya as they are the most convenience to us - no queues at all.It's a children friendly environment and dining area is rather open concept. Those that are walking along the corridoors may just pop their eyes into the restaurants. Environment Theme color

This spicy salted flavored soup ramen comes in a "larger" version ($13.80) too, but with flavored egg. Original Miso Ramen ($14.90), which they also have in mini version ($9.90) without flavored egg.Salmon Sashimi ($8.80). I like their salmon here, as I don't get the strong fishy taste as I get from other places.Black Pepper Chicken Wings ($8.80) with sweet shoyu sauce. Just the

I decided to give Menya Koji another chance as I was at Paragon and this was the only place without a queue. I have tried their ramen previously, which was a real disappointment. This time, I ordered their cha shu don, which comes in a mini bowl, and costs around $4.80; portion would be too small for a full meal, but alright if you are a small eater. Nothing special about the cha shu which was rather tasteless. I also got the soft shell crab which costs around $7+. It was very oily and portion w

Spicy miso cha shu ramen (about $14) & fried gyozaWent to try this out on a weekend as every other eatery was crowded with people and only daikouya had no queue. I love ramen but I could not finish this entire bowl because halfway through it, I got sick of the taste. It's called spicy miso cha shu ramen but I didn't find it spicy at all. The gyozas were quite oily and I didn't finish it too. I don't think it is worth the price that I am paying for. There was nothing to boast about its service to

The salmon blended with the Italian dressing is a great combination as the taste of the salmon along wi

No idea why it is called Daikokuya here, but the signboard shows Menya Koji. This was the only place without a queue on a Saturday, so I went in to try their ramen. The best seller is Special Cha Cha Ramen - $15. Service was bad as I waited almost 20 minutes for my ramen to be served even though the place wasn't full. Ramen was another disappointment as well; nothing to complain about the noodles, but the broth was very salty, and the cha shu tough (didn't fit the description of "melt in your mo

Daikokuya Ramen serves up several versions of Ramen; Sapporo, Tokyo and Kyushu styles are all sold here though all of them is just the same to me (I don’t fancy ramen as much). Other than that, they have sashimi, karage, edamame, gyoza and many more side dishes as well as Tonkatsu/Ebi Fry Curry Rice for your non Ramen lover friends like me, as well as desserts.First up on the table was Salmon Carpaccio ($8.80++); a Salmon sashimi dish served with Italian dressing with onions. The salmon sashimi

Went back to try the special cha cha ramen at promotion price of $7.50++.Although, queue was evidently long, service was considered fast. They even employed part-time to help out with the event so as to shorten serving time! Just 2 comments, egg yolk was a little shaken up and not as gooey as how I liked it & the soup was filled with fats!! Maybe the chef was too busy with tons of orders coming in that he didn't have time to remove all of them.Nevertheless, taste-wise, it was out of the world!

My husband & I chanced upon this ramen outlet at Paragon while queuing for another restaurant nearby. The price for each bowl of ramen was reasonable & it looks very appetizing. Hence, we decided to give up waiting & went in.We were seated very promptly & our noodles were served within 10mins after orders were placed. Amazing service on a Sunday!!I liked the way they described each type of ramen at the top of their menu; giving us an idea of what is the soup base and the ingredients included in

If you like Jiro-style ramen, you will like Daikokuya Ramen. Jiro-style has fatty light broth with lots of bean sprouts and chopped garlic. I like! The ramen comes in two flavours: miso or shoyu. I picked the lighter shoyu one that was able to demonstrate the freshness of the other ingredients. You can add white vinegar if you so wished but I advise not in order to preserve the original flavours.

Went there with friend for lunch. We ordered Mentaimayo Gyoza and Sapporo Spicy Miso Ramen. When the gyoza (6pcs) was served, it looks so tempting. First bite, the gyoza was great. On top of the gyoza, it cover with salted cod roe and mayonnaise. Its crispy and crunchy and they were very generous with the ingredients. The ingredients was fresh and tender. The gyoza really goes well with cod roe, recommended. The ramen was not bad too. The soup broth was rich and not too spicy, and the soy egg is

I was thinking what to have for last weekendSo i went online & read some review about this restaurant so went for a tryI tried their mentai gyoza,one plate there's 6 gyozausually when i go to japanese restaurant,i only see pork or chicken gyozabut they have quite a few kind to choose fromThe gyoza was not very well fried .from what i saw from the menu,the gyoza should be a bit "chao ta" but this plate of gyoza look like soup dumpling,but it turned out to be very nicenot spicy alsoFor service,The

Have always been a fan of Cha Shu when it comes to ramen choices, surprisingly, this bowl of miso-based ramen tasted pretty good, not too saltish! Though the serving of Cha Shu slices were not generous, I'm glad that it was soft in texture and quite tasty too. Another plus point is that the flavoured egg is cooked according to my liking, especially the best part - yolk One unique thing about Daikokuya is that this restaurant serves some special choices of Gyoza. Hence, I have decided to forgo th

Both of us ordered the mix and match lunch set which consists of a bowl of ramen, a side dish and a rice bowl. The pricevaries depend on the type of rice bowl. Ours cost $17.80 each. We added another $3 to upgrade our ramen to normalbowl size. Warning: If you are not a garlic fan like my friend, please do not try this, or you will end up complaining aboutgarlics and struggling to finish it up. As for me, I love the soup base. It goes well with ramen and I finished it all. Both of us ordered the

Daikokuya is a place for Japanese food and ramen lovers. Service is fantastic and prompt perhaps because it's not the peak hours. We had salmon sashimi and it is really fresh!!! Gyoza is crispy on the outside with tasty fillings on the inside. The meat are fresh and juicy. I had chawanmushi, a side not to be missed while visiting any Japanese restaurant. It is smooth and tasty as well. All in all, my experience here was great!
