The chicken broth is incredibly rich and flavourful. Adding the fried garlic condiment makes the soup packs with a umami punch. The chashu is tender and the surface is well-marinated with pepper. The noodles are perfectly cooked—not soggy, with a satisfying bite. Surprisingly, my favorite part was the seaweed—fresh, different seaweed texture.

Ramen were rather unique and tasted delicious. Portion was also generous. Staff were very friendly. Unfortunately, there was some funky smell in the restaurant.

My food rating guide: 2.5/5 ‐-------> Average taste 5/5 ‐--------> Scrumptious! (My comfort food! 🤩) An excellent bowl of chicken broth ramen! Al dente noodle, rich creamy flavourful broth, melt-in-your-mouth char siu, well seasoned soft yolk egg, and refreshing spring onion. The spice level in the spicy ramen is mild and doesn't overwhelm the soup flavour. Well balanced. Their Yaki Char Siu is heavenly. The Kakuni is soft and flavourful. The Sui Gyoza is delectable. The Char Siu Gohan tender pork and appetising pickled radish paired excellently. The Daikon is soft, refreshing, and well flavoured. Don't forget to nibble on their complimentary crunchy garlic. It bursts with fragrant, garlicky flavour. The dining ambience emits the chill Japanese ramen shop vibe. Cosy and with warmth.

A Taste of Nostalgia in Singapore Some flavors linger in memory long after the last bite. Marutama Ramen was one of them. I first ate here in the late 2000s, drawn to its deeply comforting chicken paitan broth—an “elevated Maggi chicken ramen,” as I used to think of it. Years have passed. Singapore has changed. But Marutama, at least at this location, remains much the same. The ordering process has gone digital—QR codes replacing human interaction—but the essentials endure. The noodles still have that perfect al dente bite. The broth is as rich and velvety as I remember. The kakuni and char siu melt at the slightest nudge of chopsticks. Not everything nostalgic holds up. This did. A highlight of my trip back. If only I had caught the name of the waiter who made the meal even better—courteous, efficient, the kind of service that stays with you, just like a great bowl of ramen.

Through the years, Marutama became my go-to. It was where I’d meet friends for a quick, fulfilling lunch, or where I’d find solace after a long day. Just the name itself conjures up a warmth that settles deep in my bones, a comforting culinary hug that transcends mere noodles and broth. It’s more than just a ramen shop; for me, it’s a repository of cherished memories, a touchstone to simpler times and undeniably delicious experiences.

Few places sell chicken ramen so i was excited to try this. The broth was tasty, but the rest of the ramen here fell short. The noodles were a little stringier than most and the chashu were thin slivers of meat that weren't substantial. Overall, it wouldn't rank top on my list but it's fun anyway to try something a little different than the usual tonkotsu.

Decent. The staff were responsive and friendly. One of the few stalls where all the staff would greet in english “thank you” and “good bye” collectively when customers take their leave.

Really enjoy the breakfast meal at this BK outlet. Ordered the Turkey Bacon Croissan-wich and they get the bacon done right, right amount of crispy as compared to other outlets which at times I get rather soft bacon. So happy I ordered this and the harsh brown served was hot too. Also when I came, the restaurant wasn’t crowded so overall a pleasant and very satisfied experience!

Went for breakfast on a weekday morning ard 10am. Restaurant was quiet. Restaurant was clean and cosy. Service was fast and foods were good. A nice atmosphere to seat down and chill.

The location of the place is very convenient, and they serve food quickly. Recently, I had the opportunity to taste their truffle mushroom chicken burger which was only available for a limited time. The burger was delicious, with a crispy chicken patty and cheese covered generously with truffle sauce.
