Location: Lot 6 . 24 . 03, 168, Jln Bukit Bintang, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The menu centres on Santouka's tonkotsu-based broth, a simple yet robust soup designed to be savoured to the last spoonful, topped with char-siu pork. Bowl options include the regular ramen, small ramen, and set meals that combine noodles with side dishes. The broth is prepared to highlight the natural richness of pork bone stock without overwhelming the palate, aiming for a balanced and accessible flavour profile that distinguishes it from heavier styles of tonkotsu ramen.
Hokkaido Ramen Santouka Pavilion KL opens daily from 11am to 10pm, with last orders at 9.30pm. The restaurant can be contacted at +60-3-2143-8878. Pavilion Junior Privilege cardholders receive free ice cream with any purchase of regular ramen or ramen set.
