Silky-sweet salmon draped over pearly rice, finished with a glossy pop of salmon roe and a drizzle of special soy sauce. Clean, simple, and tasty.
I remember Otoko Ramen used to have a branch at Chinatown Point many years ago, but now the only surviving outlet is at Alexandra. It looks like they’ll be hitting their 10th anniversary there in just a few weeks.
OG fans will know them for their oishii shoyu ramen and aburi chashu, but these days the menu has been trimmed down to just mazesoba, tonkotsu ramen and some other dishes. If you’re hoping to try their special ramen creations, you’ll need to follow their page and keep an eye out for limited-time menu items.
Niboshi Tonkotsu Ramen (Limited Time) ($16.90)
A rich pork bone broth blended with dried sardines and bonito flakes, served with house-made soy sauce and thick flat noodles. For a change in taste, the addition of homemade flower oil and kombu vinegar adds a tangy lift to the flavour profile. It was truly yummy. The broth was thick, rich and deep, with a distinct oceanic umami from the dried sardines and bonito flakes. The noodles had a tastisfying slurpy, chewy texture. The ajitama was spot on, soft with a perfectly yolky centre. The cha shu was standard, nothing to shout about but good enough.
Spicy Mazesoba ($14.90)
This dish has been on the menu since day one. Ah yes… It’s practically the Japanese version of Bak Chor Mee. Thick, chewy dry ramen packed with spicy minced pork, chilli sauce, soft-boiled egg, mushrooms, spring onions, and seaweed. It comes with a side of soup to smooth the palate. Poke the yolk, give it a good mix, and you’ve got yourself a creamylicious, slurp-worthy bowl of noods.
Kaisen Don ($12.90)
Silky-sweet salmon draped over pearly rice, finished with a glossy pop of salmon roe and a drizzle of special soy sauce. Clean, simple, and tasty.
Unagi Don ($11.90)
Pearl rice topped with tender unagi, drizzled with sweet unagi sauce and finished with a generous slather of melted butter. Rich, indulgent, and comforting in every bite.
Feel free to enjoy their free-flow hard-boiled eggs and a generous spread of condiments available at the table.

Signature Lemon Tea ($4.90)
A huge, refreshing cup of sweet lemon tea with a bright citrusy lift. Crisp, cooling, and easy to keep sipping. Perfect for balancing out richer dishes or ending your meal on a light, zesty note.
White Peach Jasmine Tea ($4.90)
A huge, cooling cup of fruity jasmine tea infused with sweet white peach, refreshing and floral with just the right balance. Served ice-cold till shiok, it’s the kind of drink you can sip on all day without getting bored.
Originally meant to be cooked with shredded seasoned mud carp, but they ran out so we ended up with a simple, savoury stir-fry instead. Just You-Mai lettuce with garlic, wet, crunchy, and coated in a light, tasty sauce. Not what we expected, but still a decent filler dish if you're after some greens.
Had high hopes for this one, but it didn’t quite hit the mark. The chopped chilli lacked depth and its medium heat with a vinegary tang felt off-balance, especially compared to better versions I’ve had elsewhere. On the plus side, the fish head itself was impressively large, with smooth, tender flesh. Unfortunately, the sheer number of bones made it a real challenge to enjoy, definitely not one to eat absent-mindedly. The noodles on the side felt unnecessary and didn’t add much; plus, the sauce they came in was overly oily.
Damn... this was delicious! The glossy, springy vermicelli soaked up all the sweet-savoury richness of the sauce, delivering a slurp full of flavour in every bite. The succulent and bouncy peeled prawns added extra umami depth. Generous in portion too, so don’t underestimate how filling it can be.
A familiar Hunan classic worth ordering. This stir-fry combined fragrant screw pepper with tender, springy pork slices and crunchy mushrooms. The mini abalone added a nice touch bringing extra umami and a bouncy bite to round out the dish. Overall, solid and expectedly oily as it should be for this style, though the screw pepper didn’t quite deliver on the smoky, charred aroma that usually gives this dish its kick.
Hearty meal with friends.

A rich and filling chilled dessert. The thick, creamy, and sticky black rice carries a natural sweetness, elevated by a drizzle of coconut milk that enhances its flavour profile. Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it adds extra chill and sweetness. While this dish is typically enjoyed hot, the cold version was surprisingly better. The rice starches thicken when chilled, creating a more pudding-like texture as the solidification brings out a richer, deeper mouthfeel that lingers pleasantly.
A classic dessert featuring finely shaved ice topped with green pandan jelly and red beans, then generously drenched in creamy coconut milk and rich gula melaka. The green jelly was well-made, with a smooth and slightly chewy texture, while the red beans were sweet and sticky. The coconut milk was ladled on liberally, and the palm sugar added a deep, natural sweetness. There was also an unexpected savoury note that made the dessert even more appetising, possibly from salted caramel, which gave the overall flavour profile more depth and appeal.
A trio of mini bowls, Black Sesame Paste, Walnut Paste, and Almond Cream, makes this set a good option for sampling multiple desserts in smaller portions. The Black Sesame Paste was light and smooth, slightly watery, with a moderately nutty and earthy flavour. We were hoping for a richer, more intense profile. The Walnut Paste had a thicker consistency but still felt somewhat watered down; the nuttiness was present, though a subtle sour note threw the balance off. Neither was quite to our liking, but the Almond Cream redeemed the set. It was thick, creamy, and pleasantly sweet.
