Ramen Hitoyoshi is the ramen arm of the Hitoyoshi Group, a Singapore-based Japanese restaurant collective founded in 2017 that has quickly expanded to become one of the island's go-to names for accessible Japanese dining. The group operates multiple brands — Ramen Hitoyoshi for tonkotsu ramen, Hitoyoshi Yoshi Sushi for affordable sushi, Hitoyoshi Yakiniku for premium Japanese BBQ featuring A5 Miyazaki wagyu, and Hitoyoshi Izakaya for casual Japanese bar fare.
At the Our Tampines Hub outlet, the formula is straightforward: rich, creamy tonkotsu broth simmered from pork bones for hours until it develops that signature milky-white colour and collagen-packed body. You choose your broth base — white (classic), black (garlic), or red (spicy) — then customise the noodle thickness, firmness, and broth richness to your liking. Every bowl comes with traditional toppings: soft-boiled ajitama egg, tender chashu pork, nori seaweed, and menma bamboo shoots. The free-flow bean sprouts and corn at the self-service counter let you pile on extra texture and freshness at no cost.
The Our Tampines Hub location is the group's dedicated Tampines outpost, situated on the ground floor of Singapore's largest integrated community hub. It is a natural gathering point for families, sports groups, and Tampines residents heading home after a day at the hub's swimming complex, gym, or hawker centre.

The foundation of every bowl is a tonkotsu broth made by boiling pork bones — including trotters and neck bones — for extended hours. This process extracts collagen, marrow, and fat, transforming the broth into a creamy, milky-white liquid with a silky texture and deep, satisfying pork flavour. The collagen gives it that lip-sticking quality that marks a well-made tonkotsu — when you finish the bowl and your lips feel slightly tacky, that is the collagen at work. It is richer than most chain ramen broths without becoming cloying.
Ramen Hitoyoshi's 'Nibuta' special chashu deserves attention. These are thicker-cut slices of braised pork belly that are tender, savoury, and rich with umami. When placed in the hot broth, the pork fat renders slightly, enriching the soup further. The texture is almost fluffy — soft enough to break apart with chopsticks but with enough structure to hold its shape. Regulars often upgrade to the Special Chashu Ramen specifically for these slices.
Unlike many casual ramen chains where you get what you get, Ramen Hitoyoshi lets you fine-tune your bowl. Choose thin noodles for a more delicate slurp or thick noodles for a chewier, more substantial bite. Prefer your noodles with more spring? Ask for harder. Want a broth that coats every strand? Go heavier. This level of customisation — borrowed from the ramen-ya culture of Japan, where regulars know their exact specifications — is a welcome touch at this price point.
A small detail that loyal customers love: the self-service counter with unlimited bean sprouts and corn kernels. The bean sprouts add a fresh, crunchy contrast to the rich broth, while the sweet corn brings a natural sweetness that balances the savoury pork. It is a simple offering, but one that elevates the dining experience — you never feel short-changed on toppings, and you can customise the ratio to your taste with each refill.
For a first visit, the Black Garlic Tonkotsu with Special Chashu is the way to go — it showcases both the broth quality and the signature pork in one bowl. Ask for thick noodles and harder firmness if you like a chewy bite. Do not skip the free-flow bean sprouts; they add a refreshing crunch that keeps the rich broth from feeling heavy. The lunch crowd can be thick, especially on weekends when families use the Our Tampines Hub facilities. Try arriving after 2pm for a quieter experience. If you are sensitive to MSG, note that some diners have reported feeling thirsty after the meal — the broth is generously seasoned.
