About Kiwami
Kiwami (極, meaning 'ultimate' or 'pinnacle') is a Japanese ramen, teppan, and gyoza concept at Chinatown Point #02-38 that has earned a loyal following for its serious approach to broth-making and its dual identity: a focused ramen restaurant during the day, and a lively modern izakaya with free-flow drinks in the evening. The restaurant also has an outlet at Jewel Changi Airport. Located on Level 2 of Chinatown Point — the same floor as Nanbantei, Kohaku Sabo, and Tsukada Nojo — Kiwami completes what is arguably the strongest concentration of Japanese dining in any single Singapore mall floor.
The foundation of every Kiwami ramen is the tonkotsu broth, simmered for over 10 hours using 100% Japanese pork bones. This long, slow cooking process extracts the maximum depth of flavour and collagen from the bones, producing a broth that is rich, creamy, and deeply savoury without being heavy. The noodles are crafted with Hokkaido wheat — Japan's premium wheat-growing region — giving them a distinctive springy, chewy texture that holds up beautifully in the hot broth. The signature Kiwami Tonkotsu Ramen (from S$12.80++) is the purest expression of this: nothing flashy, just excellent broth and noodles with quality toppings.
For those seeking something beyond standard tonkotsu, Kiwami's menu expands impressively. The Aburi Miyazaki Wagyu Tonkotsu Ramen (S$22.50) is the premium option: the same 10-hour broth topped with torched Miyazaki wagyu beef — rich, marbled, and meltingly tender. The Red Tonkotsu incorporates Japanese red chilli oil and hot miso paste for a fiery variation. The Hokkaido Ebi Tonkotsu features large prawns swimming in a prawn-enhanced tonkotsu broth. For non-soup options, the mazesoba range includes a plant-based truffle version for vegetarians, and an unagi mazesoba (S$16.90). The Hokkaido Snow Crab Fried Rice on Tonkotsu Gravy (S$13.80++) is an unexpected star — smoky wok-hei fried rice with crab meat, enhanced by a pour-over tonkotsu gravy.
The value propositions at Kiwami are genuinely impressive. Weekday lunch sets start at just S$9.90++ and include a ramen, a drink, and gyoza — this is difficult to beat for a proper sit-down Japanese ramen meal in a mall. In the evening, Kiwami transforms into an izakaya with a free-flow alcoholic drinks promotion at S$38 per person (available daily 5pm-9:30pm), making it an attractive after-work destination for groups who want ramen and drinks in a single sitting. The gyoza menu is comprehensive, with classic pan-fried pork gyoza as well as creative variations. The restaurant's location on Chinatown Point's Japanese dining floor (Level 2), directly connected to Chinatown MRT, makes it one of the most accessible ramen experiences in central Singapore.

From the 10-hour broth to the last slurp — what to expect at Kiwami.
Ramen by Day, Izakaya by Night
During lunch hours, Kiwami operates as a focused ramen restaurant — order one of their weekday lunch sets (from S$9.90++) for a ramen, drink, and gyoza, and you have one of the best-value Japanese lunch deals in central Singapore. In the evening (5pm-9:30pm), the atmosphere shifts: Kiwami becomes a modern izakaya with a free-flow alcoholic drinks promotion at S$38 per person. Beer, sake, highball, and more — unlimited for the duration. Groups of colleagues unwinding after work fill the seats, enjoying ramen, gyoza, and teppan dishes alongside their drinks. It is a genuinely versatile dining concept.
Choose Your Bowl
The classic Kiwami Tonkotsu Ramen (from S$12.80++) is the right starting point — pure 10-hour tonkotsu broth with Hokkaido wheat noodles and quality toppings. If you want to splurge, the Aburi Miyazaki Wagyu Tonkotsu (S$22.50) adds torched wagyu beef that melts into the broth. Spice lovers should try the Red Tonkotsu — the Japanese red chilli oil and hot miso give it a warming, building heat. For something different entirely, the Hokkaido Snow Crab Fried Rice on Tonkotsu Gravy (S$13.80++) is a must — the smoky wok-hei fried rice gets a luxurious upgrade when you pour the tonkotsu gravy over it.
Complete with Gyoza
Kiwami takes its gyoza seriously — the pan-fried pork gyoza are crispy on the bottom, juicy inside, and make the perfect companion to any ramen order. The gyoza are included in the weekday lunch sets, making them an automatic addition. For the evening izakaya experience, the gyoza pairs beautifully with beer and highball. Order a plate to share and add the Hokkaido Oyster Fry as an additional side if you want to go all out.
Kiwami fills an important gap on Chinatown Point's Japanese dining floor: while Nanbantei offers yakitori, Tsukada Nojo does hotpot, and Kohaku Sabo serves udon and desserts, Kiwami provides the serious ramen experience. The 10-hour tonkotsu broth is genuinely impressive — rich and creamy without the cloying heaviness that lesser broths produce. The weekday lunch sets at S$9.90++ (ramen + drink + gyoza) represent arguably the best-value Japanese lunch deal in the Chinatown-Tanjong Pagar corridor. The evening izakaya transformation with S$38 free-flow drinks turns Kiwami into a legitimate after-work destination. The Hokkaido Snow Crab Fried Rice is the sleeper hit on the menu — it should not work as well as it does, but the combination of smoky fried rice and rich tonkotsu gravy is genuinely addictive. For Chinatown visitors who want ramen, Kiwami is the definitive answer on Level 2.
