Tokyo Shokudo has carved out a distinctive niche in Singapore's competitive dining scene by offering authentic Japanese cuisine with full halal certification, making genuine Japanese flavors accessible to Muslim diners. Since its establishment in 2017, this restaurant chain has expanded to multiple prime locations including Westgate, City Square Mall, and AMK Hub, each serving as a gateway to traditional Japanese culinary experiences.
The comprehensive menu showcases the depth of Japanese cuisine, from soul-warming ramen varieties including their signature Chicken Cha Shu Black Mayu Ramen and fiery Duck Spicy Ramen, to traditional donburi bowls and tempura sets. Their Asakusa Tendon represents the perfect marriage of crispy tempura and fluffy rice, while the diverse ramen selection caters to different spice tolerances and flavor preferences.
What distinguishes Tokyo Shokudo is their unwavering commitment to authenticity while maintaining halal standards. The restaurant operates with the precision and attention to detail that Japanese cuisine demands, ensuring each bowl of ramen achieves the perfect balance of flavors. With operating hours from noon to 9:30PM daily and reasonable pricing ranging from $9.90 to $18.90, Tokyo Shokudo makes authentic Japanese dining both accessible and affordable for all Singaporeans.

The experience I had at this outlet is unacceptable, but there was this staff member named Mark. He was the only one serving us most of the time. For a buffet, you will need more than four floor staff. By cutting manpower, this is the result you get, leading to numerous disappointed customers who patronize the restaurant. Honestly speaking, Mark was the one constantly running around assisting us and other customers. Even though the food is great, I will patronize this restaurant again only when things change. As for the plates and etc., you should be hiring dishwashers and adding more part-timers if possible. Your new manager, Kitti, is trying her best to manage the buffet, but I think she should stick to her old branch. The way I see it, Mark is the one most of the time clearing tables and etc. It would be better to have someone who knows how to manage a buffet. She seldom clears tables too. Just a short feedback, the dish rack outside is in the wrong position. Plus, maybe you can change the sliding door to a sliding glass type if you want to keep the dish rack in its current position, as it's hard for someone to take the pail from below the buffet station to dispose of the water.

I've been coming here quite often, but things have changed since they revamped the menu. My usual chicken teriyaki with rice and tartar sauce is gone. They also no longer have a lunch promo menu.
I ordered at 1:05 PM, and my food arrived at 1:25 PM.
There were a lot of flies.
The customer service skills were lacking. No 'thank you' or any pleasantries.
I won't be coming back again.
Please close soon.

After a long afternoon walk, we were all feeling peckish. This wasn't the eatery we originally wanted to visit in Waterway Point, a very busy mall on weekends. However, as it was the only place we could find a table, we decided to try it. I wouldn't call this a "true" Japanese restaurant, but rather an adapted halal version, as no pork was served. Most of the ramens came with chicken char siu or what looked like canned "scallops," and the soup base had spicy options like Tom Yum flavors.
My Beef Suki Toki set was very average; the beef was fatty and tasted a bit like it came from a frozen pack. The à la carte option for this dish meant no rice was included, so we had to add $3 for rice and salad/miso soup (as rice alone would also cost $3, according to the waitress). My dining partner enjoyed her chicken char siu ramen more, as she liked the chicken. My other companions tried the Ebi and Namban Chicken Tempura on rice and gave varying reviews; one felt it was average and nothing to shout about, while the other gave it rave reviews, liking how the taste came together with the combination of the sauce, soup, and the seafood and meat.

Ordered the set meal which included spicy cha shu ramen, cha shu soba, and fried rice.
The soba and fried rice were pretty good. However, I found the broth for the spicy ramen a bit bland. The sides were only decent.
Service staff were friendly, and I'm giving 4 stars for that.

Brought my mom for lunch to this outlet. We ordered the buffet options. The food, while value for money, was limited in options. Drinks were free flow for an additional price of $1.90. What really stood out was a middle-aged man. For most of the time, he was the only one walking around all the tables as if inspecting the diners' behavior. Despite speaking to him multiple times in English, he simply refused to reply in English and would respond in Mandarin. Seeing as he was the only server walking about, we were left with no other choice but to interact with him. He did not come across as willing to serve us or anyone else in this eatery. When we were done and about to pay, I even overheard another customer scolding him for his bad service attitude in Mandarin. Had it been solely on his service, I would never subject my family or friends to ever having to eat at this outlet again. I thought I could get his name off the receipt, but he had logged in as 'emenu'. And he had pinned his name tag on his pocket so that it tilted down towards the floor, making it impossible for anyone to get his name. Please address this server's attitude.

I had the pleasure of visiting Tokyo Shokudo at Waterway Point, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! This ramen store brings authentic Japanese flavors right to Singapore, and it truly delivers on taste, atmosphere, and service. What stood out even more was the customer service. The staff was friendly, efficient, and very attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. It’s clear that Tokyo Shokudo cares deeply about its customers and the quality of their food. I opted for their signature Tokyo Shokudo Char Siu Ramen, and I was blown away by the richness of the broth. It was flavorful, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The noodles were cooked just right, with a nice bite to them, and the toppings – from the melt-in-your-mouth chashu to the fresh vegetables – were the perfect complement to the dish.

Kitty was very helpful in guiding us. It was our first time, and we were a little lost on how to go about ordering the all-you-can-eat hotpot. The price is affordable for the food, and it tastes great too. Simple yet fulfilling.

The taste is standard and yummy, as expected across various affiliated stores.
The main variable here is the service. We found the staff to be not as friendly as in other stores. The food delivered to our table felt more like 'touch and go'; we didn't feel a personal touch from the staff.
That's why it's only 4 stars.
The whole restaurant exuded 5 stars nonetheless. It looked spacious and wide, not the grand hotel type, but while we were inside, the place looked big. We did check the cleanliness, and well, after hours of being open, the place looked relatively clean.
All in all, we would recommend coming over for a meal.
Cheers!!!
