Question 1

What is Takagi Ramen?

Accepted Answer

Takagi Ramen (高木ラーメン) is a Singapore-born Japanese ramen chain founded in 2015 by Takagi-san, who is originally from Tsuruga, Japan. She dropped out of law school to pursue her passion for bringing authentic, affordable ramen to Singaporeans. The brand's slogan is 'Ramen for the Average Singaporean,' reflecting its mission to keep prices accessible. Takagi Ramen has served over 3 million bowls since 2015 and currently operates 13 outlets across Singapore, many of which are open 24 hours. The chain specialises in Hakata-style tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen with handmade firm noodles, starting from just S$6.90 per bowl.

Question 2

How much does Takagi Ramen cost?

Accepted Answer

Takagi Ramen is one of the most affordable ramen chains in Singapore. Original Takagi Ramen (tonkotsu): S$6.90. Black Tonkotsu (with garlic oil): S$6.90. Miso Ramen: S$6.50. Karaka-Men (spicy): S$7.90. Butashoga Ramen: S$8.90. Add-ons: Ajitamago (soft-boiled egg) S$1.50, extra chashu S$2.50. Side dishes: Gyoza S$4.50, Karaage S$5.50, Takoyaki S$4.50. Buddy Lunch Set (2 bowls + sides): ~S$20. A solo meal typically costs S$8-15. These prices are significantly lower than premium ramen chains like Ippudo (S$16-22) or Konjiki Hototogisu.

Question 3

Is Takagi Ramen open 24 hours?

Accepted Answer

Many Takagi Ramen outlets are open 24 hours, which is one of its key differentiators. As of 2026, the following outlets operate 24/7: Ang Mo Kio (51@AMK), Yishun (Chong Pang), Woodlands, Hougang Rivercourt, Eastpoint Mall (Simei), Marine Parade Central, Redhill Artra, and Yew Tee Point. Other outlets like Dhoby Ghaut Exchange (11am-11pm), One-North Fusionopolis (10am-9pm), and Downtown East (11am-10pm) have limited hours. The 24-hour outlets make Takagi Ramen one of the very few options for late-night authentic Japanese ramen in Singapore.

Question 4

Is Takagi Ramen halal?

Accepted Answer

No. Takagi Ramen is NOT halal-certified. The tonkotsu broth is made from pork bones, and the signature chashu is braised pork. The menu is centred around pork-based dishes. Muslim diners should consider halal ramen alternatives like Tokyo Shokudo (halal chicken-based ramen by JFH Group) or Ichikokudo (halal Hokkaido ramen).

Question 5

What should I order at Takagi Ramen?

Accepted Answer

For first-timers: (1) Original Takagi Ramen (S$6.90) — the signature shio-tonkotsu with handmade Hakata-style firm noodles, chashu, spring onions, and bean sprouts. This is the purest expression of what Takagi Ramen does. (2) Black Tonkotsu (S$6.90) — same base with charred garlic oil (mayu), black fungus, and bamboo shoots. Richer and more complex. (3) Add Ajitamago (S$1.50) — the soft-boiled marinated egg is always worth it. (4) Karaka-Men (S$7.90) — for spice lovers, a chilli-infused tonkotsu that doesn't overpower the base broth. (5) Gyoza (S$4.50) as a side. Pro tip: ask for firm noodles (kata) for the authentic Hakata experience.

Question 6

How does Takagi Ramen compare to Ippudo?

Accepted Answer

Takagi Ramen and Ippudo serve Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen but at very different price points and positioning. Takagi Ramen: S$6.90 per bowl, casual/fast-food style, many outlets 24 hours, Singapore-born brand, focus on affordability and accessibility. Ippudo: S$16-22 per bowl, restaurant-style with full service, 13 outlets with mall hours, Japanese brand (est. 1985 Fukuoka), focus on premium quality and broth depth. The honest assessment: Ippudo's broth is noticeably richer and silkier, and their noodles are more refined. But Takagi Ramen delivers solid, authentic tonkotsu at less than half the price, often at 2am when Ippudo is closed. They serve different needs — Takagi is everyday ramen, Ippudo is occasion ramen.

Question 7

Does Takagi Ramen deliver?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Takagi Ramen offers delivery through GrabFood, foodpanda, and their own ordering platform (order.takagiramen.com). New customers can use code TAKAGI8 for S$8 off their first order on the Takagi platform. However, ramen is notoriously difficult to deliver — the noodles absorb the broth and become soggy during transit. For the best experience, dine in. If you must order delivery, consume immediately upon arrival and consider ordering the noodles separately from the broth if the option is available.

Question 8

Where are Takagi Ramen outlets in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Takagi Ramen has 13 outlets across Singapore as of 2026: Ang Mo Kio 51@AMK (24h), Yishun Chong Pang (24h), Woodlands (24h), Hougang Rivercourt (24h), Eastpoint Mall Simei (24h), Marine Parade Central (24h), Redhill Artra (24h), Yew Tee Point (24h), Dhoby Ghaut Exchange (11am-11pm), One-North Fusionopolis (10am-9pm), Downtown East Pasir Ris (11am-10pm), and additional locations. The brand also operates Cloud Kitchens for delivery coverage in areas without physical outlets, including Tampines North (JTC Space). Most outlets are in heartland/neighbourhood locations rather than CBD malls.
