Le Shrimp Ramen bills itself as the first 'wok-hei' shrimp broth noodle concept, a restaurant brand blending Japanese and Chinese culinary culture into a simple menu built around elaborate flavours. It's one of the dining concepts under Paradise Group, the Singapore-based F&B company incorporated in 2008 that traces its roots back to Seafood Paradise, a humble 25-seater coffee shop in Defu Lane opened in 2002 by founder Eldwin Chua, which grew into an empire of more than 12 restaurant concepts and 150+ restaurants worldwide.
Each Le Shrimp Ramen restaurant features a show kitchen so diners can watch their meals being prepared, set within a space decorated with red elements, walnut panels, and wall mural illustrations designed to evoke the lively energy of Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market.
The menu centres on two speciality broths: a shrimp broth combining fresh tiger prawns, pork bones, and Chinese spices, finished with the smoky 'wok-hei' aroma distinctive to Cantonese cooking, and a tonkotsu broth. Le Shrimp Ramen operates at multiple Singapore locations, including Paragon, Plaza Singapura, The Star Vista, and VivoCity, with delivery, reservations, and a restaurant locator all available online, alongside Paradise Group's Paradise Gourmet Rewards membership programme.
Le Shrimp Ramen describes itself as the first 'wok-hei' shrimp broth noodle concept, built around a simple menu that aims to deliver elaborate, layered flavours. The brand is one of more than 12 restaurant concepts under Paradise Group, the Singapore-based F&B company behind an empire of over 150 restaurants worldwide.
Paradise Group's own story began in 2002 with Seafood Paradise, a modest 25-seater coffee shop tucked into an industrial area on Defu Lane. Despite lacking polish, the food drew crowds for its taste and reasonable pricing. That early success led founder Eldwin Chua to create Taste Paradise, a Cantonese and dim sum concept that built a strong local following. From there, the group expanded into a wide range of dining concepts across markets including Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and the USA — with Le Shrimp Ramen as one of its more recent additions.
Every Le Shrimp Ramen restaurant is built around a show kitchen, letting diners watch their bowls being prepared from start to finish. The interiors lean into red elements, walnut panelling, and custom wall mural illustrations, aiming for the same lively, bustling energy associated with Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market.
The menu is anchored by two speciality broths, each with what the brand describes as its own dedicated following. The shrimp broth combines fresh tiger prawns, pork bones, and Chinese spices, finished with a distinctive 'wok-hei' — the smoky aroma associated with Cantonese wok cooking — giving the broth a piquant edge that prawn lovers seek out. The tonkotsu broth offers a second option for those who prefer a different style of bowl.
Le Shrimp Ramen regularly runs promotions, including a $10.30 Tea Time Saver Set available Mondays to Fridays, a Members' Day promotion every Monday offering exclusive deals to Paradise Gourmet Rewards members, and a limited-time offer exclusively for Citi Credit and Citibank Debit cardmembers. Members can join Paradise Gourmet Rewards to access these kinds of ongoing perks across Paradise Group's restaurants.
Le Shrimp Ramen operates across multiple Singapore locations, including outlets at Paragon, Plaza Singapura, The Star Vista, and VivoCity, alongside other locations with a separate menu. A restaurant locator is available online to find the nearest outlet, and both delivery and online reservations can be arranged directly through the brand's booking and delivery platforms.
As one branch of Paradise Group's growing portfolio — which also includes a catering arm serving private homes and corporate functions — Le Shrimp Ramen reflects the group's broader mission: to keep improving, advancing, and creating dining experiences that combine tradition with innovation, under the brand promise of 'Creating New Dimensions of Dining Pleasure.'
