Kakuriyo Ramen — Pulau Tikus, Penang

About

Authentic Japanese ramen restaurant at Lengkok Moulmein in Pulau Tikus, George Town, tucked beside Moulmein Rise Shoppes near the Pulau Tikus market. The focused, no-frills menu centres entirely on Japanese ramen — the same bowl done right, with options to customise with garlic oil, chilli oil, or miso. The broth is rich, deeply flavourful, and creamy in texture. No reservations accepted — arrive early to avoid the queue. Open Tuesday to Sunday 11:30am–2:30pm and 5:30pm–9:30pm, closed Tuesdays. One of the best Japanese ramen spots in Penang. Reviews mention char siew, tonkotsu ramen, ramen broth and kuro ramen.
