Since the dawn of time (well, 2022), Ramen Mob has grown from one to three outlets across Klang Valley. After all, their first outlet in Taman Desa was a neighbourhood favourite, with a steady (and passionate) flow of local foodies who came to slurp their famed authentic quality ramen.
With consistent glowing reviews, plus a third new outlet in less than two years, you might be wondering what the Ramen Mob hype is all about. Which is why we went to check out Ramen Mob’s new branch in SS4 PJ to verify the hype!
1. ‘Ramen-craft’ at its finest
When it comes to preparing high-quality authentic ramen, there’s simply no easy ‘life hack’ to it – but Ramen Mob guarantees all that labour is worth the taste!
Ramen Mob’s signature pork broth is made from boiling pork bones for 16 HOURS, giving the broth a thick, creamy texture that’s ‘umami-fied’ to the max. Plus, their Hakata style ramen noodles are made from scratch, so you know it’s going to be gooooood.
Thanks to the success of Ramen Mob’s Taman Desa outlet, they managed to open two more outlets in Taipan and, more recently, SS4 PJ to make Ramen Mob more accessible for Malaysians across the region. After just a month of operation, their SS4 branch has already garnered an impressive 4.8 star rating in Google reviews from 360+ users.
2. Ramen paradise for Malaysians
Soup Ramen
Now let’s get down to the good stuff! Thanks to Ramen Mob’s delicious dedication to ‘ramen-craft’, diners have the luxury of choosing between EIGHT wildly different soup bases to slurp on, including:
- Shiro: Ramen Mob’s signature no-frills thick and creamy pork-based soup.
- Kuro: Shiro soup combined with black garlic-infused oil for intense garlicky goodness.
- Aka: Shiro soup enhanced with spicy chilli miso oil for a creamy, spicy kick.
- Kuraka: The best of both Kuro and Aka for a spicy garlicky experience.
- Spicy Mala: Amp up the spice levels with mala paste that pairs oh so well with Shiro soup.
- Kare: Classic Japanese curry added to Shiro soup for a savoury and slightly sweet curry soup.
- Kimchi Kara: Give your Shiro soup a Korean spin with the bold addition of kimchi.
- Niboshi Shoyu: Shoyu soup elevated with soy sauce and niboshi (small dried anchovies).
