Ramen Sora at Orchard Gateway brings authentic Hokkaido-style ramen to Singapore, importing the rich culinary traditions of Sapporo to the heart of Orchard Road. The restaurant originated in Sapporo, Hokkaido in 2003 and has expanded internationally, with the Orchard Gateway outlet located at #B2-4A/5 serving ramen enthusiasts seeking genuine Japanese noodle soup culture.
The restaurant's philosophy embraces the motto "No RAMEN, No LIFE," reflecting the deep cultural significance of ramen in Japanese cuisine and the passionate dedication required to craft exceptional bowls. Ramen Sora specializes in three main ramen styles: miso-based broth, shio (salt) broth, and shoyu (soy sauce) broth, each prepared using traditional techniques that honor Hokkaido's ramen heritage.
Hokkaido-style ramen is distinctively characterized by thicker, wavy noodles that hold the broth exceptionally well, paired with rich, flavorful toppings that often include butter and corn—regional specialties that reflect Hokkaido's agricultural abundance. The broth is typically heartier and more robust than other Japanese regional styles, designed to combat Hokkaido's harsh northern winters.
The Orchard Gateway outlet features a modern, inviting atmosphere that balances traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary design elements. Open daily from 11am to 9pm, the restaurant serves both lunch and dinner crowds, offering a respite from shopping with warming bowls of carefully crafted ramen. While customer reviews present mixed perspectives on the ramen quality, the restaurant remains popular among those seeking authentic Hokkaido flavors in Singapore's competitive Japanese dining scene.

Dull and gloomy atmosphere. Friendly service but poor attention given. We placed our orders which were repeated wrongly. And also asked for iced water, but warm water was given instead. Ramen selection was limited but that’s not the problem. To think a limited selection should assure the quality of those that are on the menu.
We had both shio and shoyu ramen as well as chicken karage. Ramen was overcooked, char siew was average and the mushroom served was not the most appetising. Only redeeming dish was the chicken karage which, you can honestly get better ones anywhere too. Meat is tender and crispy on the outside.

Service: Staff unresponsive and impatient. While I was looking through the menu, he was scratching his pencil at the table next to me. I sat near the kitchen and after my gyoza was ready, the bell rang but the waiter did not respond. I watched my gyoza go cold as I raised my hand to no avail. Received a change of 9.30 with 4.30 in coins without warning the customer.
Food: Ramen was ok, but sparse. Not filling. Soup had no base, just hot water and a lot of MSG. Char siew is pretty much rubber. Egg was not cooked evenly. The seaweed was just packet seaweed i could get at the supermarket. Gyoza was boiled instead of pan-fried and it was just supermarket gyoza.
Overall: bad service and bad food. Never coming here again.

Went for weekday dinner, it was totally empty. Ordered miso ramen. Soup a bit too salty & watery, with 1pc of chasu & half tamago. Noodles yellow springy. Not worth the price.

Ordered Shio Ramen and it was quite watery and bland. Overall selection quite limited too. Service was quite friendly and quick, though.

I’m a fan of salty food, but even I would have to say that the amount of salt was overpowering for the ramen. It ruined the flavour of the ramen as I felt that I was eating spoonfuls of salt. The bizarre combinations of mushrooms and onions in the ramen also did not contribute to the dish at all. Had to go eat some ice cream after that experience to wash my poor palate. Try to avoid this place if you can.

Had a great time here after shopping.
Quiet place ideal after visiting those crampy spaced shops.
Food is nice, staff is friendly.
Visited during Singapore's 53rd 🎂.
Not sure if normal days are ad good.
Choice of warm or cold plain water is provided free of charge. Think they charges the cheapest price for wet tissue @ 30cents per piece only.
If unsure which to order, go for the deluxe version. It covers everything! Beware...your throat might be overflowed!
Go for the gyoza, the sauce which comes with it is really fantastic! Very flavorful!

The miso ramen was good, except for the tamago, which was over cooked, but the pork was better than in many other places. Good noodle. Nice calm ambiance and friendly staff.
