Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Sanpoutei Ramen at Shaw House is a solid option for Japanese ramen, particularly if you're seeking a taste of niboshi (dried sardine) broth.

The Sardine Tsukemen, priced around $17 before tax, is frequently highlighted for its rich, flavourful sardine and bonito broth, though some find it could be thicker.

The noodles across their offerings are generally praised for being chewy and springy.

The Niigata Shoyu Ramen is noted for its lighter, cleaner broth, appealing to those who prefer subtle flavours, while the Kotteri option offers a more experimental, richer profile with pork fat and garlic.

We'd recommend the Maze Soba with aburi chashu for a satisfying, flavourful dish with chewy noodles.

While the food quality is generally above average, some reviews suggest that the frequent queues, especially between 6:45 PM and 7:30 PM, might not always align with the overall dining experience, with observations of available seating and idling staff.

It's a reliable choice for a good bowl of ramen, but manage expectations regarding potential wait times.

What customers say

Sanpoutei Ramen at Shaw House is frequently praised for its rich, flavourful broths, particularly the sardine-based tsukemen and the Niigata Shoyu Ramen, which some find reminiscent of authentic Japanese flavours.

While the noodles are generally well-regarded for their chewiness, some customers note the tsukemen broth could be thicker.

Long queues are a common occurrence, though some patrons question if the wait is solely due to food quality, citing potential service inefficiencies.

Been here many times and always look forward to their sardine tsukemen. I like the dried tsukemen — the soup is rich and full of sardine and dried bonito flavour. Noodles are chewy and springy. Really…

Second visit to this ramen shop at orchard road. Ordered spicy tsukemen again, but this time it doesn't taste as good again. Part of it maybe because I was not really hungry. Despite that, I will stil…

I always see a long queue outside this ramen shop, so when I passed by earlier today and the queue was short, we decided to finally give it a try. We ordered the Niigata Shoyu Ramen with special full…

My go to place if I crave for a good bowl of shoyu ramen, is at Sanpoutei (Shaw Center). The Tsukemen was their signature but I just felt that the sardine/bonito broth will be perfect if it’s thicker.…
