Woke Ramen represents a groundbreaking culinary innovation in Singapore dining scene, pioneering the worlds first halal wok hei ramen concept that brilliantly fuses traditional Japanese ramen techniques with beloved Chinese wok cooking methods. This certified halal establishment has revolutionized how Singaporeans experience ramen by introducing the distinctive smoky flavors of wok hei to the comforting warmth of Japanese noodle soups.

The Prawn Broth represents their seafood specialty, made by boiling fresh sea prawn heads with chicken broth to achieve maximum umami intensity.
The menu features carefully crafted dishes including the popular Chicken Chashu Collagen Ramen, which combines their signature thick collagen broth with tender chicken chashu and perfectly textured noodles. The Seafood Mix Prawn Ramen elevates the dining experience with premium ingredients including prawn paste balls, tiger prawns, and fresh scallops, creating a luxurious seafood symphony in every bowl.

Absolutely Delicious and Worth It
Loved every single dish I ordered! The chicken collagen ramen with extra spice was absolutely amazing—rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. I also appreciated the free-flow hardboiled eggs at every table, a unique and generous touch. Prices were reasonable and felt just right for the quality. The student deal for only < $10 comes with 1 main, 1 side, and 1 free-flow green tea! Highly recommended!

Ordered the chicken cutlet omu rice. In terms of taste, I don't think there's anything to complain about. The portion was quite small, but they gave free hard-boiled eggs, so that's a plus. Service was great, and the food came fast, though that may be due to the small number of people in the restaurant. I would recommend it, but the small portion is worth noting when ordering.

I've eaten quite a number of chicken katsu don before. The first bite of this dish here surprised me; the egg was amazing. However, the chicken portion was rather small. Still, I will definitely come back again.

Not complaining abt the service staffs but kind of pity them as they are really kind of under staff
I'm not complaining about the service staff, but I do feel a bit sorry for them as they seem quite understaffed here.
Overall, I liked the ramen. A definite plus point (especially for my young daughter) is the free flow of hard-boiled eggs. Having the ramen served in a wok with a flame underneath keeps it warm throughout the meal, which is something I really love...

Excellent service, good food.Had lunch here i ordered the Woke’s Charred Dry Udon set.
I didn’t say
Excellent service, good food. I had lunch here and ordered the Woke's Charred Dry Udon set. I didn't specify needing a vegetarian set, but when I asked if the chilli oil flakes were vegetarian, the server actually went to the kitchen to check and told me it had chicken stock. She then went to get chilli padi for me from their next-door eatery, Penang Culture. Not only that, she took the fried beancurd from my set (which had fishcakes) and replaced it with another side dish, the cucumber and black fungus salad. She also swapped out the jellyfish for more of the wakame side dish. I really appreciate the great service from the server Man Ping and the kitchen staff for accommodating and catering to the vegetarian food option. The charred udon was good, and I also had the braised tofu. The service was truly exceptional.
