Due to its roots, there is no doubt that diners would get a taste of everything the Japanese have loved for years without having to book a flight to Japan!
The intimate dining space and thoughtful service make it an ideal spot for a casual lunch or a cozy dinner. Each visit feels like a brief getaway to Japan, thanks to the authentic decor and the meticulous attention to detail in every dish served.
Everything–from the broth to toppings–are well thought of and made from scratch to complement with the taste and the texture of one another. The soup base or tare of its ramen is made with seasoned, boiled pork chasu, while the noodles are freshly made in the restaurant every day. The thick, bouncy noodles are used in tsukemen and sigekiya ramen, while the thinner ones are for miso ramen and Sigekiya light ramen.
Sigekiya also makes sure that its offerings are different with those served in other ramen houses by adding secret ingredients that are made only for the restaurant.

Sigekiya’s must-try item, Sigekiya Ramen, is the restaurant’s own take on shoyu ramen. What makes this a crowd-favorite is the unique taste brought by the grilled chasu. Sigekiya’s ramen is usually spicy but customers may always request the chef to reduce its spiciness if it’s not to their liking.
