Whiskey Tea
Totally expected more from one Michelin star. Super thirsty after meal . I had the spicy miso fish ramen ，it’s packs a punch with spice but super salty . Found noodles to be a bit soft . Saving grace is the crispy cuttlefish .

The service is bad - (1) dripped tea onto my pants when refilling tea, (2) no service staff around to attend to me. I stood up wanting to refill my own tea only to be told off by the staff to sit down, (3) my side dish was served after I finished my main dish. Overall, the service is bad.

Overpriced so-so ramen. Hototogisu prominently advertises their 1 Michelin star connection inflating expectations for the meal we were about to have. The recommended charcoal ramen and standard tonkotsu were both underwhelming: small portions, dilute tasting broth, with minimal toppings. Recommended for people desperate for ramen but can’t be bothered to travel further than the mall’s basement.

Food is ok, nothing fantastic but because they keep advertising the michelin star so it feels a little sub par. Portion is miserable, less than instant noodles. Water not provided, maybe because we never ask. Service is ok, food arrived quickly, restaurant was about 10% full when we ordered. Staff was responsive. Open kitchen, dunno is the fridge or hood damn noisy. The staff crowd in the corner talk very loud.

Worst service ever. There was a male waiter with glasses. When I tried to order ramen and couldn't find any staff around, I stood up to look for someone. He said, "You can just tell me. Now go back to your seat." I was so confused — seriously??? He even yelled at my friend. I hope the owner can look into this matter.

Ordered Shoyu chasu ramen. Everything was just average. The soup flavor was lacking, the noodles too hard, the meat was not good. The price was just okay. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great, just average.

Disappointing . I'd expect more from an ex-michelin. Overpriced I would say. Ramen portion is little and the size of the chasiu is way too small. 2 thin slices of chasiu about the size of the fishcake slice you typically see in a bowl of laksa. Soft boil egg needs to be separately ordered.

The appearance of ramen is so off from the pictures shown on the menu. the food is not even good. Super overpriced just for 2 ramen that was poorly cooked. Service was super slow. i felt that the staff was impatient. $33 including gst and service charge. Both were ala carte. The free eggs given were not fresh at all. The egg whites tasted so bad. Might as well eat takagi ramen. Takagi ramen is such much better. Dont waste your money here. There are better ramen places to dine at than this overpriced ramen restaurant that isn’t good. The pork does not MELT in your mouth ok.

I ordered the Hototogisu ramen set. Broth is not too salty. Food is good. Ice tea served in a glass. Free hard boiled eggs!

Good ramen place. Parts of the menu looked similar to Ajisen, so I suspect they are under the same management. My tonkotsu ramen was very tasty, the broth was flavourful and robust. I like how they provide pickled vegetables which helped to break up the ramen flavour. It's one of the better ramen places and worth a try.

Michelin star ramen with free flow noodles, eggs and side dish! Food served fast and the broth is nice~ They were strict with their no outside food policy - the waitress gave me a bag to store my tuna 😂 thanks for not discarding it

Came down on 27 May 2025, 12nn. The ramen broth was wowwz. Too bad they don't have just the broth for sale, I would have ordered another bowl of the broth🤭 The takoyaki was crispy on the outside, hot pippy and soft on the inside - wonderful. Thanks chef! Service was excellent. The lady cashier/manager waited for me patiently when I couldn't find my wallet, and told me to take my time don't worry. The other server lady was also prompt and wonderful. Thank you for the great meal, will definitely be back:)
