Brothers Ramen is not just praised for their affordability, but also for their quality. Plus, they make their own ramen noodles from scratch! Unsurprisingly, they’ve garnered a pretty solid reputation among the ramen-loving community in Singapore.

Their most affordable dish is the Light Megamen, which sets you back at just $12.90++. This bowl of ramen nods to the Jiro-style ramen, which is extra popular in Japan. It is known for its generous portions of noodles and ingredients, including thick-cut pork slices, fresh beansprouts, and generous amounts of garlic.

Else, the signature Brothers Ramen ($14.90++) is also a popular choice among customers. Instead of the usual tonkotsu broth, which tends to have a strong pork flavour, this bowl of ramen combines pork, chicken, and ginger for a more balanced profile. Their handmade noodles are also medium-thin, offering a nice bite.

Fans rave about the meat in the ramen, too. Their regular pork chashu is done well, but their chicken chashu, which is usually hard to nail, is praised for being especially tender, juicy, and flavourful.

The other types of ramen you can get here include Chicken Ramen ($14.90++), Chashu Ramen ($16.90++), Shoyu Ramen ($13.90++), and Dry Megamen ($14.90++). They have also recently introduced a weekly ramen special, the latest being the Niboshi Ramen ($13.90++). This ramen is typically made with dried fish, giving it an extra layer of umami.
