Takagi Ramen ([email protected])

I think this place serves the cheapest ramen in SG, and they don’t discount on quality!!! Loved their soup and they use wantonmee-like thin noodles which goes really well 😍 would not recommend ordering the spicy soup base, stick with the original cuz it’s the BOMB!!

as shown in the pic i succumbed to takagi due to ungodly hour hunger pangs and doubt i’ll return for their mediocre ramen. only commendable thing is their takoyaki (although not very worth it) is super soft and melts in your mouth~ apart from that, their broth lacks the umami and is pretty bland, do not recommend unless you’re looking for a quick & cheap fix. they offer free upsize for noodles too if you’re hungry

Just what the doctor ordered — radioactive waste to kill myself. Just kidding! Ajisen is slightly more potent. 🙃

Other than decent noodle texture, everything else 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗲 — quite deafeningly too. Broth defines ramen but theirs was 𝗯𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆 and lacked appropriate richness for its level of salinity. I'd even given them three chances. Maybe it's masochism or a longing for death, who knows?

Price is the only saving grace, but honestly quite persuasive. For your budget ramen cravings, better this than Ajisen. Though I'd rather eat ban mian.

Taking out & eating in has been a norm & we are constantly worried if the food we ordered via delivery will taste as good as if you were dining in.

The people at Takagi Ramen has helped to settle that problem! Their innovative packaging of splitting up the ramen & ingredients from the ramen broth has allowed us to enjoy the ramen! It's as if we had it at the store itself!

This allows for the ramen to still have that bite without turning overly soggy in the broth.

As part of their promo as well, you get 5pc of crispy fried Gyoza at a total cost of $12, almost as good as dining in!

The Karaka-men comes with a hot & spicy broth, made from their special blend of red chillies added to the creamy tonkotsu broth, definitely something for the spice lovers out there.

Was recommended this very affordable find in the neighbourhood. Got the karata ramen (spicy) at $7.50, and added $1 for egg, and topped up to make a set that comes with 3 pieces of gyoza and a drink (total price $12.50), which was very affordable. The broth was really spicy but flavourful and packs a punch. You can choose the spiciness level though! The gyozas are really good and crispy on the outside. The seats are a bit squeezy though, so be prepared to squeeze a little. Or you can always choose to find them on food delivery apps :)

Karata-men ($7.50)

Soup wise is average but the thin noodles made the ramen lack bite. Added spicy for the soup and it was slightly too spicy. So perhaps will not do that in future.
