Ramen Keisuke Tori King will shut its doors permanently on Nov 29, ending a 14-year run at Tanjong Pagar’s 100AM mall, CNA Lifestyle reported.
Fans of the chicken-focused Japanese eatery have until the end of the month to secure their final bowls of its signature thick broth and tender meat.
The Keisuke group announced the permanent closure on Instagram, thanking diners for their support since the restaurant first opened in 2012. Management offered no specific reason for pulling out of the mall.
“We are just as sad to say goodbye, and we will always cherish the memories made along the way,” the group wrote.
Chicken Broth Legacy at 100AM Mall
Chef Keisuke Takeda launched Tori King as his third Singapore ramen concept, following earlier rollouts for Keisuke Tokyo and Tonkotsu King. Takeda was crowned Ramen King at the Tokyo Ramen Championships in 2011.
While sister venue Tonkotsu King relies on pork bone stock, Tori King built its following on a thick, creamy chicken broth. The kitchen lines its dining room walls with retro Japanese movie posters to create a cosy, old-school atmosphere.
The basic Tori King Ramen costs S$13.90 with chicken chashu, while the hearty Tori King Ramen Special goes for S$22.40. That premium bowl adds a whole chicken leg, seaweed, a roasted chicken meatball, flavoured egg, and spring onion to the noodles.
Diners can also order the Black Spicy Tori King Ramen at S$14.90 or a lighter clear-broth version starting at S$13.90. Guests routinely pair their meals with complimentary free-flow hard-boiled eggs and beansprouts set out on the tables.
