I always see a long queue outside this ramen shop, so when I passed by earlier today and the queue was short, we decided to finally give it a try. …

Sanpoutei Ramen at Shaw House brings the flavours of Niigata, Japan, to Singapore with its signature shoyu ramen that highlights a rich soy-based broth. The restaurant is committed to authenticity, using recipes and techniques honed in Japan, with broths simmered for hours to achieve a depth of flavour that balances savoury umami with a clean, refined finish. The menu features various ramen styles, with the signature shoyu ramen being the star, topped with chashu pork, bamboo shoots, and a perfectly seasoned soft-boiled egg. Sanpoutei also offers tsukemen (dipping noodles), mazesoba (mixed noodles), and a selection of side dishes like gyoza and rice bowls. The Shaw House outlet provides a cosy, intimate setting with counter seating that allows diners to watch the chefs at work, reminiscent of ramen shops in Japan. The restaurant has garnered a loyal following among ramen enthusiasts who appreciate the nuanced, less-heavy style of Niigata ramen compared to the more common tonkotsu varieties in Singapore.Based on 1299 Google reviews

Second visit to this ramen shop at orchard road. Ordered spicy tsukemen again, but this time it doesn't taste as good again. Part of it maybe because I was not really hungry. Despite that, I will still give the taste 8 out of 10, no argue …

The signature tsukemen is superb. Noodle is springy and the broth is just nice to my taste (not too sweet / salty) …

This is truly a great ramen place. The soup is very well made with raw ingredients and they are made with great heart, because the aroma and fullness of the soup is outstanding. …

Been here many times and always look forward to their sardine tsukemen. I like the dried tsukemen — the soup is rich and full of sardine and dried bonito flavour. Noodles are chewy and springy. Really satisfying every bite. Come early as there’s usually a queue. Also tried the shrimp and avocado with mango sauce. This one I’ll pass — the mango and mayo combo is too filling and a bit jelak.
