Ok, this one might be cheating a little but tsukemen still counts as a type of ramen! From Tokyo to Damansara Uptown, Mitsuyado serves up their signature chashu and yuzu broth with a side of either cold or hot chewy noodles. Unlike ramen, tsukemen is served with a thicker sauce on the side for dipping and eating, just like soba. If you really want ramen, they also offer either tonkotsu or chicken ramen. Find out more at their offical website.

Over at Paradigm Mall, Goku Roku has been whipping up classic ramen broths alongside funkier versions, such as Tom Yam and Curry, from time to time.

Curious as to what's on the specials board now? Head over to Ippudo's official website.

Located over in Mont Kiara, Taiko serves up Japanese comfort foods – ramen, sushi and yakitori.

Yet another ramen restaurant boasting to have the best noodles in town, Menzo over in Solaris Mont Kiara specialises in tonkotsu pork ramen, much like Ippudo.
