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.

It’s bad. Do not go. Go if you wish to pay a premium price for a poverty hotpot buffet. It’s gross. I paid $64 for two people because it was a Sunday.
Raw chicken was left out in the open. The chicken in the hotpot was bland.
Seafood was not fresh. It’s bad.
Beef was average. It’s the only item I have no complaints about, but there was nothing fantastic. They were just beef slices.
The sauce bar is pathetic. No coriander, no spring onion. The sesame sauce they used was watery and diluted. It’s just gross in general.
Their fried and processed food had been there for hours. The fries were so bad. The pizza had become cardboard-like.
Their “drinks” section was just some random syrup and tea. Houjicha, Lemon Tea, and I don’t know what else. They don’t even have a drink machine. This is the first Japanese hotpot buffet I’ve ever eaten in my life with no drink machine. I paid $64 for this.
Just avoid this place. It was a waste of my money. There are much better buffet options around Westgate and Jem. Google them.

I had a disappointing experience at Tokyo Shokudo, which I believe is the weakest link among Japan Food Holdings' self-developed brands. In comparison, Ajisen Ramen and Yakiniku Shokudo offer far superior quality and a better dining experience.
I visited Tokyo Shokudo yesterday for lunch after a tiring day at Rainforest Asia. I was initially tempted by the hotpot place next door, but upon seeing the long queue, I opted for Tokyo Shokudo since there was no wait. Now I understand why — the quality simply doesn’t meet expectations.
The hotpot selection was quite limited, with only a few items available, as seen in the attached photo: Chinese cabbage, button mushrooms, chicken sausage, gyoza, fish cake, chicken meat (not sliced finely), chicken meatballs, scallops, asari, and a few others. The side dishes were somewhat better, mainly comprising two types of sushi, fries, karaage chicken, pizza, and an omelette with tomato sauce. While the sides were not bad, they didn’t quite compensate for the main course.
The table was quite small, making it uncomfortable to enjoy the meal as the individual hotpot already took up a lot of space. Additionally, the stove for the hotpot seemed problematic, with staff frequently needing to come back to relight the fire.
Overall, the hotpot market is highly competitive, and given the standard of the food and the expensive prices, I, as a consumer, do not see myself returning. I hope they can take this feedback constructively and make improvements.

Tried their all-you-can-eat hot pot. The buffet spread, including raw meat, was left out in the open with many flies. It didn't seem very hygienic, nor did it appear they were prepared for this new concept. The food quality was mediocre at best, but the staff were efficient and attentive in serving.

They charge SGD7.9 for Lychee Lemon Mint Tea in a jar, but they give you the tea in a regular water cup. See the pictures and never come here. The manager says there is nothing wrong with that; it's a clear misrepresentation and overpriced.

Mediocre. Ordered the must-try Tendon and Seafood ramen. The food tasted bland. For the price, it's passable.

Perhaps I was undecided about what to eat at those moments, so I headed to one of the halal-certified Japanese eateries and ordered a random dish to satisfy my craving. This is Tokyo Shokudo, and the dish in the picture is the Chicken Char Siew Ramen (4 pieces set). I am always mesmerized by the overall presentation of the food served to me. The white broth is well-seasoned, and the chicken pieces are chewy. The ramen noodles are just perfect for that satisfying munching sensation. Personally, nothing is too much for me because my appreciation for Japanese life, and life in general, is always about being grateful every day.

It was pretty good Japanese hot pot buffet (nabe). You can choose 1 kind of hot pot for $4. You can order your meat, and there's also a buffet section with vegetables, some seafood, sausages, and chicken. You also have pizza and sushi rolls. Besides that, there are some desserts. I think it was good value for the price.

First time dining here, and I did enjoy the thick broth in the bowl of ramen. I tried the Volcano Tempura Fish set, where the fish was fried well in clean batter (it wasn’t oily).
I made it into a set which included a free choice of freshly fried chicken wings and a hot tea. In addition, I ordered extra chicken yakitori as I was famished. Finished everything clean in no time.
To me, the food was great. However, my gripe is having to pay for non-existent service, as the entire ordering process was practically self-service. Hence, there wasn’t any atmosphere to comment about, other than it was quiet and spacious on a Sunday evening.
Good for Muslim customers as the shop has been certified Halal by the relevant authority.

I ordered the chicken minced meat soba at red level 1, which means it's a little spicy. The noodles are very chewy, the sauce is very nice, and the miso soup is just right and not salty. Price-wise, I think it's very normal in this economy.

My personal experience with my mom and twin boys was great. There were many customers dining in, especially during lunchtime, so a waiting period and slow food top-up were expected. Honestly, I think it's all good. You get free-flow panna cotta, and we had the beef sukiyaki, finding the broth so flavourful. The finger foods were great, and the curry had a good flavour. Yeah, the aircon could be stronger, but considering the amount of people and movement, plus its somewhat open concept, there are no complaints ✌️
