What Makes Ajisen Ramen Special

Kumamoto Tonkotsu
Ajisen's tonkotsu broth originates from Kumamoto, one of Japan's four great ramen regions. Distinguished by thicker broth with roasted garlic and ma-yu (burnt garlic oil). The Original Ajisen Ramen (~S$10) features this signature broth with medium-thick noodles, chashu pork, egg, and bamboo shoots. The Bedok outlet at #01-69 on Level 1 is conveniently positioned for shoppers and accessible from both the main entrance and internal escalators.

Budget Ramen Choice
At S$10 for the Original, Ajisen is Bedok Mall's most affordable dedicated ramen option. Value Sets (ramen + side + drink, S$14-17) are the best deal. The Tom Yam Ramen — a Singapore-exclusive fusion — is surprisingly popular. For budget-conscious ramen lovers in the East, Ajisen delivers consistency and affordability.

Full Menu Beyond Ramen
Beyond ramen: bento sets, rice sets (chicken teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, fried prawn), gyoza (S$3.90/4pcs), karaage, and kids meals. iPad ordering at tables for easy browsing and ordering. The Bedok outlet has been refreshed with modern decor and efficient service.

Founded in Kumamoto, Japan in 1968, Ajisen has grown to 700+ outlets in 15 countries — one of the world's largest ramen chains. The Bedok outlet on Level 1 serves the area's massive commuter and family population with affordable, consistent ramen. The brand recently rebranded some outlets as "Ajisen Tanjiro" with expanded menu options, though the core tonkotsu ramen remains unchanged. iPad ordering at each table streamlines the experience.

The Ajisen Ramen Experience

Find Ajisen on L1

Bedok Mall Level 1, #01-69. The outlet has iPad ordering at each table. Walk-in seating usually immediate. The restaurant has been recently refreshed with modern decor. About 40-50 seats.

iPad Menu Browsing

Each table has iPad for browsing the full menu with photos. First-timers: Original Ajisen (~S$10) for baseline Kumamoto tonkotsu. Spice lovers: Volcano Ramen. Best value: Ramen Value Set (S$14-17, ramen + side + drink). Submit order on iPad; food arrives 10-15 minutes.

The Broth

Ajisen's tonkotsu broth is simmered from pork bones for hours. Kumamoto-style: ma-yu (burnt garlic oil) adds smoky aroma. The broth is rich and creamy but lighter than specialist chains like Ippudo. The gyoza (S$3.90/4pcs) is a solid crispy-bottomed accompaniment.

Nostalgia Factor

For many Singaporeans, Ajisen was their first Japanese ramen chain — before Ippudo, Keisuke, and Ichikokudo. While newer chains offer deeper broth, Ajisen delivers consistent, affordable ramen. Average meal S$12-18/person. The Bedok outlet serves the East Coast community's nostalgia for reliable Japanese ramen at friendly prices.

Kumamoto Ramen: The Fourth Style

Japan has four major regional ramen styles: Sapporo (miso), Tokyo (shoyu), Hakata (thin tonkotsu), and Kumamoto (thick tonkotsu with garlic). Ajisen represents Kumamoto — pork bone broth thicker than Hakata, with ma-yu (burnt garlic oil) and chicken broth blended in. Medium-thick straight noodles rather than Hakata's thin springy ones. The garlic influence is the defining characteristic.

From a single Kumamoto shop in 1968 to 700+ outlets in 15 countries, Ajisen's global expansion is remarkable in ramen history. In Singapore, Ajisen was a pioneer — arriving before the premium ramen wave. Its strength remains affordability and consistency. A S$10 Original is one of the cheapest sit-down ramen options in Singapore.

Editor's Note

Our honest take

Ajisen Ramen at Bedok Mall is the "reliable budget ramen" of the East Coast. At S$10 for the Original, it is the cheapest dedicated ramen at Bedok Mall. The broth is good but not deep — adequate for a satisfying lunch without breaking the bank. The Value Sets (S$14-17) are genuinely good deals. The Tom Yam Ramen is a guilty pleasure. The iPad ordering is convenient. Where it falls short: broth depth vs specialist shops, and the interior needs updating. But for quick, affordable, no-frills ramen — Ajisen has served Bedok for years and remains a reliable choice.
