Brothers Ramen

First time trying Brothers Ramen, and the crowd already said a lot! Even well past the lunch peak, there was still a long queue. We waited about 20 minutes to get in, followed by another 15 minutes for our ramen. Ordering is straightforward - place your order and pay at the machine before getting seated. One thing I really liked here is the unlimited self-service bean sprouts. Simple but surprisingly addictive, and definitely useful to fill the hungry stomach while waiting for the ramen! 😋 We tried the Supermen Ramen, which came loaded with chicken, egg and pork chashu, and we added the spicy option for an extra kick. The pork chashu was tender and enjoyable, but between the two bowls, I actually preferred their signature Brothers Ramen. I could taste more of the richness and depth of the pork broth - creamy, savoury and satisfying without being overly heavy. We chose normal hardness for the noodles, but I think going slightly harder next time would give them a better bite and texture. The restaurant itself is quite sizeable and can accommodate many diners. The real bottleneck seems to be the cooking time rather than the seating - perhaps explaining why the queue moves slowly even after peak lunch hours. They claim to serve one of the best ramens in town. For my first visit, I would say not bad at all and definitely a satisfying bowl, especially considering the reasonable price. And judging from the persistent queue, Brothers Ramen certainly has plenty of loyal fans. Next time: harder noodles, more bean sprouts while waiting! 🍜😋

Brothers is renowned, almost hitting a foodie's pilgrimage for ramen in Singapore. Came both times (June 2025, Sept 2026), I tried both times to attempt the Jiro but end up with the (imo, more friendly) Brothers ramen. Queued 22 mins before opening time, entered the stall at 1135, ordered 1137 and got my food 20 minutes later. I can't help but notice that 1 year on, the broth for the Brothers ramen had a slightly murkier look. Even the taste. Same old rich broth, but somehow isn't hitting as hard as 1 year ago. Overall, it has its fans. And rightly so, even boasting Japanese customers down the line. I give it a 4/5, delicious but perhaps not worth the peripheral considerations of making intentional arrangements if eating here.

It's really hard to find a ramen place in Singapore which offers good portion size, value, and taste all in one. While the soup and the ramen are good what really stood out to me were the acommpanying toppings. Normally I'm not a fan of bamboo shoots however the ones in this ramen were nicely marinated and still had toothsome bite to them which was great. The ajitama was not overly salty and not overcooked in the centre. The abouslute stars of the show was definitely the chicken and pork char siew. They were melt in your mouth tender, the best I've had in sg hands down. If I had to mention one down side it would be that they don't sell the chicken and pork char siew as side dishes, it's so good. Visited on Aug 27th.

Two visits in Brothers Ramen, the ramen is excellent, but the experience around it is a serious test of patience. First visit I ordered the Supermen, second time the Megamen Light. The Megamen bowls were impressive, bold, well-developed shoyu broth with that depth and character that justifies the hype. The Megamen Light in particular was a standout, clean yet flavourful in all the right ways. But here's the honest reality: 45 to 60 minutes queuing is one thing, most great ramen spots earn that. What's harder to accept is the extremely slow serving time once seated, adding another 30 minutes on top. That combined wait edges into territory that's difficult to justify, especially when other well-regarded ramen spots in Singapore manage both quality and reasonable service pace. The ramen deserves its following. The operations, however, need serious work. Until the serving speed improve

I visited this ramen shop for a weekday lunch at 11:45 AM, my first visit in several years. Although there was a line outside, I noticed that about a third of the seats were empty once I entered. Despite having only three people ahead of me in the queue, it took 45 minutes from lining up to receiving my meal. The wait time inside was unexpectedly long. Additionally, some customers lingered on their smartphones after finishing their food, and the staff did not promptly clear the tables to accommodate those waiting outside. The visible queue seemed to be a result of inefficient seat management and slow kitchen operations rather than overwhelming popularity. By comparison, similar establishments in Japan, such as Jiro ramen, handle seating and food preparation much more efficiently to minimize wait times. I consider ramen shops to be proper dining establishments, so I believe it is fair to hold them to standard service expectations. While the food itself may appeal to some, potential diners should be prepared for significant delays due to the current operational pacing and table management.

Saw a long queue half an hour before opening, and decided to try it out. While the portion sizes are indeed massive, I think that’s most of what this place has going for it. The tsukemen broth was thinner than the broth for megamen, which is a little strange because I expect a thicker, more concentrated bowl. Also the bean sprouts overpower the bowl - every scoop has a little bit of unavoaidable bean sprouts. All this to say - food is definitely not bad, and taste is subjective. Maybe if I was much hungrier, I would have enjoyed it more. Broth was decent, very garlicky and a little oily but rich and deep. Overall experience was not bad!

I’d heard this place mentioned a lot on social media and from people around me, but somehow never knew where it actually was. Turns out, it’s on the ground floor of International Plaza, right next to Tanjong Pagar MRT Station. We were told there’s usually a long queue, so we went slightly past peak lunch hours, around 1pm. Still crowded. We waited about 15 minutes before getting in—not terrible, but definitely popular. Ordering is done via touch panels inside the restaurant. I guess it’s similar to buying a meal ticket in Japan, but personally, I’m not a fan. Not very intuitive and a bit annoying to navigate. The interior? Think food court meets no-frills diner. Definitely not stylish, and clearly designed for “eat and go” rather than “sit and relax.” That said, there are a few solo seats facing the wall, which I actually liked—perfect if you just want to eat in peace. One downside: the floor felt a bit slippery, which is… not ideal. I ordered what they call “Jiro-style ramen.” To be honest, I’m not a ramen expert, so I couldn’t tell you what exactly makes it “Jiro,” but the mountain of bean sprouts sold me. The taste was rich and satisfying, but the real highlight? It was piping hot. Finally. I’ve had too many lukewarm bowls of ramen in Singapore, so this alone made me weirdly happy. The noodles are thick, so if you prefer thin noodles, you’ll probably want to order something else. It’s not cheap ramen, so I wouldn’t say it’s great value for money—but overall, I genuinely enjoyed it.

Ordered the jiro tsukemen with additional noodles and got 2 mountains. Absolutely fulfilling and good enough for a mini food challenge. Flavours are strong and oily for the dip, chasu is thick cut and tender, plenty of beansprouts and some cabbage for crunch, chilli flakes and vinegar available to avoid flavour fatigue. Self service for drinking water and beansprouts available. Service is excellent, counted three counts of thanks from the team during my visit. Great job to the Brothers Ramen heroes serving great ramen at an affordable price!
