Seizan Uni Ramen Review: Creamy Uni Ramen By Two Michelin-Starred Japanese Restaurant At Orchard

For sea urchin lovers such as myself, the sight of a creamy, bright orange morsel of uni is more than enough to set my tummy rumbling. I have to admit that I was a little sceptical when Seizan Uni Ramen unveiled plans for an uni ramen. Food at Seizan Uni Ramen Seizan Uni Ramen is no fancy quack trying to make a quick buck by coming up with gimmicky ramen.

Opened in August 2019, the Singapore store utilises the same dashi as its Tokyo parent restaurant. Uni Ramen ($21) is undoubtedly the star of the show here.

Only Bafun uni—a type of sea urchin that’s known for their bold and umami-rich taste—is used here. Instead, the uni is emulsified with Seizan’s dashi and a dab of cream and milk.

I’m all for rich, creamy flavours , but those who prefer milder flavours can share a bowl of uni ramen with a friend and opt for the other lighter-tasting broth here. I was a little surprised to see that the broth was fully absorbed by the noodles after 10 minutes.

Similar to the uni ramen, Seizan’s smooth-tasting dashi is used in Kumamoto Wagyu Ramen ($20) . While I didn’t feel that way, I have to admit that it gives a touch of vibrancy to the broth.

I was a little disappointed to find that the yolk was a little too business , instead of being thick and gooey. The Dashi Somen ($18) is ideal for those who want to enjoy Seizan’s famous dashi on its own.

The clean-tasting dashi went well with the smooth and springy somen noodles, making it pleasurable to slurp up. Ambience at Seizan Uni Ramen Conveniently located at Wisma Atria, getting to Seizan Uni Ramen ought to be a breeze. In the case that your friends are not fans of uni, they can always check out popular favourites such as Omakase Burger while you slurp on your bowl of creamy uni ramen.

Picnic Review: Marche-Like Food Truck Buffet At $39.90++ At Orchard The verdict Uni ramen might sound a little too absurd to some people, especially if they’re not a fan of its rich and briny flavours. While I doubt those who dislike uni will be getting in line for the ramen here, uni lovers will be more than happy to take their place here.

While rates here might seem a little steep, the store fits in quite comfortably in the same bracket as Keisuke Lobster King and other ramen stores of the same stature. If you’re in the mood for exciting non-traditional ramen flavours, be sure to make room for Ramen Taisho as well. This Singaporean ramen store is located at Maxwell Food Centre and serves up bowls of salted egg yolk and black garlic ramen.
