Considering the price $56, the ramen tasted slightly better than average in spite of the seemingly more expensive ingredients. I would suggest going to a more reputable ramen place. Staff had forgotten about by charsiu which after reminding them they had done a service recovery quickly with a smile.

There was a set meal offer and both of us got the same ramen. The ramen taste great with decent broth. Great value and impressed by the attentive staff despite it the crowd. Seat was very close to others which make conversation hard. Will definitely visit again during off peak.

We had a great meal at Ramen Kiou in Serangoon Central. The broth was rich and full of flavor, making every bite satisfying. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the chashu was wonderfully tender. A must-try for any ramen lover

Food was served hot and ramen was delicious. Quite on par with what I had in Japan. Their kuro tonkotsu is recommended. Broth is thick and flavorful. Will return again

Visited on Sunday night, crowded and almost full house. A lot of different varieties for Ramen booth, We ordered the Riki Tonkstdu Ramen and Shoyu Tonkatsu Ramen, the Riki Tonkatsu come with a super reach garlic booth, if you are a garlic lover, this Ramen should suit for your taste. The Shoyo Tonkatsu Ramen also came with rich soy sources and pork taste. Both ramen are also very authentic and delicious, I more preferable on Riki with mixed with the Raw Gralic and garlic oil. Would like to give a chance for other favour ramen for my next visit.

I love the ramen texture! Lovely broth! The chicken karaage is good, freshly fried!

It’s decent for the price (value set for 2) Seems to be one of the lesser crowded store out of all the other Japanese store ard so it’s a good spot if you need a quick and easy meal spot to talk with ur friends! Chashu cube rice is delicious (but there is a lot of rice and a layer of chasu)

Ramen restaurant located at the Japanese street of Nex mall. I really like the tonkotsu ramen here as the broth is really rich and flavourful, especially my go to ramen, the garlic tonkotsu ramen. There are lunch specials here from 11pm - 5pm on weekdays which offer value ramen options. Waiting time for food may vary during peak hours.

Kiou Ramen: A Taste of Simplicity The dining experience at Kiou Ramen left a lasting impression with their signature dish, the Black Garlic Oil Ramen. The flavor was satisfactory, though it leaned towards a simple and unpretentious profile. However, the portion size was just right, neither overwhelming nor scanty, which made the pricing seem fair and reasonable. The ambiance was comfortable, providing a relaxed setting to enjoy the meal without unnecessary distractions. What stood out most was the value for money—quality at an affordable price point. While the taste may not have been extraordinary, it certainly left a desire to revisit and explore more of their offerings. In summary, Kiou Ramen's Black Garlic Oil Ramen offers a satisfying experience that doesn't aim for extravagance but focuses on delivering a decent meal at a reasonable cost, making it a place worth revisiting.
