Osaka Ohsho

**Mabo Don Set ($16.9++)** The mabo tofu is not spicy at all. I expect mabo tofu to be at least cooked with their red Szechuan mala spice, but maybe I expect too much. The cheese is good, though they added several kinds of cheese to the dish, but it's not mixed. So, in some parts, you could taste the bland mozzarella, and in others, the salty cheese. The set comes with gyoza, which YOU MUST TRY. Honestly, the best food in this restaurant is the gyoza! The fried part is crispy, and the inside is juicy and savory! **Salmon Okawa ($7.9++)** It's salmon flakes spread out in Japanese sticky rice. It's very bland, actually. But it's pretty good if combined with other dishes. However, it's much stickier and more oily than normal white rice, so choose properly. **Spicy Cha Shu Ramen Set ($16.9++)** It's so, so, so, so not spicy at all. And the soup tastes like chicken soup, which is good, but not special. It's not worth the price for me (except for the gyoza that comes with the set, which is SUPERBLY RECOMMENDED!).

Tried their ramen and salted egg mapo tofu twice. Food is served really fast. Enjoyed the ramen, but the mapo tofu was too salty (saltier than the salted egg chicken). However, both dishes' serving size made them not worth the price. E.g., finished the ramen in under 5 bites.

Ordered food at 12:50 PM with an almost full house and waited 30 minutes for a subpar ramen. I was not given any updates until 20 minutes later. I rarely give Google reviews… The ramen meat was stale and tasteless, and I could taste the yellow noodles.

I couldn't really finish the ramen. It was quite salty, and the tea tasted like hot water—super diluted.

I recently ventured into Osaka Ohsho, enticed by their ramen, and opted for a variety: the Chashu, Pork Chop, and Teriyaki Chicken Ramen, all with a white soup base. While the promise of a hearty, comforting bowl was strong, the reality fell somewhat short. Let's start with the positives. The protein options were generous. The Chashu was tender, the pork chop had a decent crisp, and the teriyaki chicken offered a sweet-savory contrast. However, the abundance of protein couldn't salvage the deeply flawed broth. The white soup base, which should have been creamy and rich, was unfortunately overwhelmed by an intense saltiness. It wasn't just a little salty; it was aggressively so, to the point where it became difficult to enjoy the other elements of the dish. Furthermore, the broth's consistency was excessively thick, bordering on gloopy. It felt more like a heavy sauce than a soup, making it difficult to slurp and enjoy. The noodles themselves were acceptable, cooked to a pleasant chewiness, and the toppings, while not groundbreaking, were fresh and provided some texture. However, they were ultimately overshadowed by the overpowering salt and the unpleasantly thick broth. In summary, Osaka Ohsho's ramen had the potential to be a satisfying meal, but the excessively salty and thick soup base was a major letdown. The generous portions of protein were a redeeming factor, but not enough to elevate the experience.

Ordered fried rice and ramen with white broth. Both tasted like sea water, so salty it could replace an IV drip. The gyoza was salty, but it likely comes pre-seasoned. Ironically, the miso soup was the only item that tasted least salty. Please conduct a round of taste tests and review your recipe. Thank you.

We had a quick meal at this restaurant. My friend ordered food but was unable to proceed with the payment due to a processing error, so I told her to order directly. I noticed that the service staff lady, with long hair and wearing eyeglasses, all of a sudden shouted at my friend, asking, "Which table?" and also shouted, "Settle customers one by one!" I don't know who else she was shouting at. Is it appropriate for a restaurant's staff to shout at a customer like that? Even though the customer was willing to mention which table she was seated at. But to shout like that? That is rude. We understand the restaurant's situation nowadays: a lack of manpower. But at least show a proper and professional attitude towards customers. At the end of the day, your company earns money from its customers, so show some professionalism in serving customers properly and with respect. If the staff is unhappy working in a restaurant, she shouldn't choose to work in one.

First time eating here. I was so disappointed. I have a Japanese husband and have been cooking Japanese meals. Having been to so many Japanese restaurants in Singapore, this is the worst Japanese food I’ve eaten. The staff were busy talking and not serving me; even after she saw me raising my hand, she acted as if she didn't see. The food was placed so rudely. I would say it's not even worth it, even if it were a free meal.

Got the nankotsu ramen set (ramen, chijimi side, 1 drink). The nankotsu was decent; the rest of the ramen was all right but nothing very special. Chijimi was so-so. All in all, it wasn't very worth the price. There was no queue and many free tables, so we could sit and talk without any rush. Price: $20.26 after GST

A very so-so dining experience for a price that isn't spectacular. Only go if you have a ramen craving for something unique to them and not available in other chains. The ramen was on the saltier side and didn't come across as entirely Japanese food. It tasted like a mild fusion between Chinese noodles and Japanese ramen. The char siew was alright, but was a thinner cut. My wife ordered the rice set, and the fusion continued. There was a mapo tofu side, which was sweeter than a typical Chinese version, and felt odd to be considered Japanese. The salted chicken was fine, though again, a little on the saltier side. Ordering was entirely digital; customers scanned a QR code to order. We came on a late afternoon weekend and were the only customers. However, food took a while to be served, about 15 minutes. Also, our food was not served to us at the same time. Overall, nothing to scream about. Meh.

Rather disappointed. The fried rice used to be very good, but it no longer has that authentic taste. They should consider bringing back the egg soup instead of serving miso. At least, the gyoza still tastes the same.
