We very enjoys the ramen here. My spicy soybean paste soup was delicious, not spicy at all for me. Noodles are good. My husband's shio ramen was great with pork slices that just melt in your mouth.

Opus One

Consistencies is the key to its success. Eaten at Santouka in my home ground California, while visiting Singapore, with Japanese friend from Hokkaido, and now in Malaysia. Pork cheek , shiyo, excellent

It's difficult to find good ramen in kl but their creamy shio ramen is worth a try. I like to have my ramen with ajitsuke tamago so I added the egg . Not bad too.

Benjamin Cheong

Still the best & most authentic ramen in town . Don't just trust the other tips here. Just go and see how many Japanese frequent this place. They come here for a reason.

Love their Shio Ramen . Don’t miss the salmon sashimi deal (RM1 per pc for every bowl of ramen , max 5pc per pax)

Jennifer Wen

Ramen was delicious. Finished everything!! Char siew was good and melt in my mouth ????

Riri Grr

A little pricey , but durable. I'm absolutely amazed by their chawanmushi. Their miso base is great, and God, their pork is just foodgasmic.

Luiz Yee

The Shio Toroniku Ramen seems to be their signature Ramen over here. The meat was prepared to the right texture (soft) just nice chew with.

Stephanie Lim

It is pricey , but you get good quality ramen , which is handmade in Japan and shipped here. The pork cheeks are divine and the Gyoza are the best I've ever had.

Jennifer Wen

Pork cheek was good, ramen was delicious. We finished everything!!

David Liew

Excellent Ramen . Ramen is a must every time I visit Japan. I can say their Shio Ramen is the only one closest in KL to those I have tried Japan.

Cerrie Yee

Most delecious ramen ever! Especially the soup made of whole chicken and only could make two bowl soup ramen and the yolk was juicy!!

Steven Quah

For those who don't understand the true nature and texture of ramen . Please kindly GTFO. You seriously live in a box. Anyway Santouka live up to its ramen expectations. I'm talking from experience.GJ!

Teck

Probably still my favorite ramen place . Go for Shio soup base . Don't forget their pork cheeks though can be salty for some people.

Lina Yong

They serve the most authentic ramen here, I visit here few times and it always crowd with Japanese.

Emilee

For those who like their ramen al dente , the ramen ere is n it goes best wif da shio soup and egg . Stil my fav ramen pl of all

William Ng

The specialty ramen is the pork cheek at RM40. Can't tell the difference between the premium meat and the normal meat. Hmmm.

April Yit

The regular set can be shared by 2 small eater. The small bowl of char Siew rice that comes with set is Yums. Pricey but the same same with other rest here at Tokyo.

Tommy Lee

So far my favorite Ramen joint in Malaysia. Must try their Komi-Tamago, it goes well with the Ramen .

Sinna Oon

Miso Ramen (Soybean sauce) super tasty. And the pork it's dayum! Highly recommended ! Must try!

danny must

Absolutely very good ramen

Angela Leong

by far the best ramen I've tried! and the service is superb ????

Tracy Loh

the ramen here is just alright, noodle is too soft and soup stock is lack of fragrance, chiraishi don is also very normal, not worth the price tag. https://t.co/1TDP6XqNzB

Jann Yean

Just a tip for u guys, fair warning, try all restaurants asap @ Tokyo street cuz these jap ppl will leave once they teach "our" ppl.. I'm assure of that..

Lareina O

Tasty solid springy ramen noodles , so if you're not starving, a small ramen order is good enough.

Steven Quah

Best ramen in Malaysia and some say singapore. I personally tried singapore brunch and it's the best!

Catherine Lynn

Haters go away. Please understand the art of ramen before you come here. I personally think the ramen here is as best as what I've tried in Singapore. Shut the fuck up haters.

Frans C

Well one of the better ramen in kl for now. Bt soon ippudo will open and this place would get some competition

Sniper Food Hunt

Back for its cheek ramen , had shoyu ones. A bit salty for my liking. Portion is alright. RM42 after tax.

Jasmine Lew

Ramen is not as tasty or fantastic as all the famous bloggers claim... Don't know why still so many ppl queue up for a normal ramen with sky-high prices

Charles Ng

Ramen is the must and recomended .

Simon Chew

Everyone love the Ramen , but interrupted by a fly on my vege . Good service .

Steve

Seems many people don't know what authentic Japanese ramen really taste like. Definitely will be back for my 5th time soon!

Mei Ling

Premium Pork cheek is tender . Good to try if you're here :)

Arima

Must to try shio flavor.

Mei Ling

Premium pork cheek is tender . Good to try if you're here.

WJ Tang

The pork meat heavenly tender

Benjamin Cheong

Very authentic ramen . Tops Marutama and Goku Roku anytime. Only minus is that it's pricey

Winuse

Basically nothing is good..even their ramen ..I beg it's not handmade ramen and I couldn't finish it even I ordered a small ramen..????

Li Sum

Maybe an overall of 2/5. Goku ramen at mid valley will have a better tasting ramen . You can tell from just the texture of the noodles .

Fion Yee

Fab.. Try the mixture of all three... Yum yum.. Definitely comin' back here again

Steve

Go for the shio ! This one takes the top spot. It tastes just like the one in Japan.

Chan Ck

Would recommend others to try Goku Raku Ramen in MidValley before saying the ramen here is good :)

Joshua Tay

The ramen is good but overpriced, shio ramen has an excellent pork stock but I wish the portions were bigger considering the amount we pay!

Johnson Ho

Delicious... Not to be missed.. Price is affordable ... Soup is imported

Jilyn

Shio ramen is the best ~!!!

Stella Lai

Consistently delicious!

Kelvin Wong

Try the special cheek set. Very tender with flavors !! But slightly salty for certain ppl.

Nic. L
