ENISHI Singapore

Kobe-origin ramen shop known locally for dashi-forward bowls and Japanese-style dan dan noodles.

ENISHI Singapore brings a Kobe ramen name into the Tanjong Pagar area, with a compact menu that leans into dashi, spice and carefully layered toppings. It is especially associated with Japanese-style dan dan noodles and broth-led ramen that taste more nuanced than the standard mall tonkotsu formula. The International Plaza location makes it convenient for CBD diners, but the shop still feels specialist rather than generic. Diners who enjoy sesame, spice, minced meat, aromatic oil and a bowl with more textural variety than usual will find it particularly appealing.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

ENISHI is for diners who already know they want something beyond basic tonkotsu. The dan dan noodles have a pleasing mix of spice, nuttiness and savoury depth, and the toppings make the bowl feel layered rather than overloaded. It is a strong lunch option around Tanjong Pagar, especially if you like ramen with a bit of heat and complexity. The trade-off is that the style is more specific, so it may not satisfy someone craving a classic creamy pork broth. For variety in the CBD, it adds real value.

WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

It offers a more specialised flavour profile than many ramen shops and gives the CBD a serious option for dashi and dan dan-style noodles.
