The best ramen in Singapore
Located near Bugis, inside Sunshine Plaza, UOUO (魚王魚王) is more than your average izakaya—it quietly tucks a small but punchy ramen corner into its seafood-centric lineup. Their signature Tenka Ichigeki Ramen, priced around S$9.90 for lunch time promo, leans into a tonkotsu-style seafood blend, making it one of the few spots near Bugis that offers tonkotsu ramen in Singapore with a fishy twist.

Yoshinoya isn’t just about beef bowls anymore. The Japanese chain recently announced it’s officially venturing into ramen — a move that might surprise some, but not me. I actually tried their ramen a few years ago at Tokyo’s Narita Airport, back when that was the only Yoshinoya outlet in the world serving it.
