Tucked along the busy strip of restaurants and businesses under the Mezza Residences is probably…read moresome of the best ramen I've had in Metro Manila--and that's saying something, because ramen is a big deal in these parts! It doesn't have the international recognition of Ippudo or Santouka or the creativity of Nagi, but the ramen here feels as though someone is treating you for a nice dinner at home. There are only three flavors available of the ramen, the shiro (classic), kuro (garlic), and aka (spicy). I've had both the kuro and aka, and I can say that they are extremely satisfying. Neither the garlic nor the spice was too overpowering. The broth was also extremely well-balanced. Not too fatty but still smooth enough to make you want to slurp the bowl once you've finished. The pork cuts weren't as tender as I've had at other places, but still very well done. The tamago was also well done. Love the runniness! But what puts this place over the edge into 5-star territory is the price. You can get a super filling bowl of ramen here for only 230 pesos! And that's for the larger size! I wager that's basically half of what you'd pay at the more upscale mall places for nearly the same quality. I was also able to try one of their sets featuring a bowl of ramen of your choosing, their gyudon rice don on the side and a bowl of fresh fruits for only 360 pesos. I was stuffed after. So so worth it. The gyoza was also really well made, and a steal for only 100 pesos. The staff here is always super attentive and accommodating, even when we've come in with a larger group, and they do accept all major credit cards, which is a huge plus for me. Definitely worth a try. I don't have to venture out to the more upscale parts of the Metro to enjoy a well-curated bowl of ramen anymore!

This is my 3rd Ramen place in Philippines. The others were higher end places but my sister…read morerecommended this one. I had the spicy seafood, my daughter had the no spice seafood, and my sister had the Miso. We also shared the gyoza. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. By far, I really liked this place. It has an intimate yet authentic vibe and the service was pretty good. I just think that we came at the right time and the rain probably increased traffic. Just like any place here, there is limited parking. Definitely a must see place!!

I keep coming back…read morebecause they keep their quality and affordability in balance :3 Must try: ramen (any flavor is gooood) and gyoza. I heard their rice bowls are great and filling too! My personal ramen picks are gomoku (vegetable + seafood) and miso ramen. Dining experience is direct to the point and not fancy, which is something that I like very much. The parking space is limited, so it's best to arrive at their opening times (11AM for lunch or 5PM for dinner). Commuting may not be as convenient, but there are several tricycles and jeeps that pass through Sumulong Highway. Staff service is also awesome - authentic Japanese style. Pay on the counter before leaving and DON'T GIVE TIPS! Even the guard that helped me back up the car did not accept my tip. Instead he said thank you and bowed to me like what the Japanese usually do huhuhu amazing! Highly recommend to try out if you're in the area. I will definitely come back for another bowl of ramen! :3

My boyfriend ordered the Spicy Chicken Paitan Chashumen, while I tried the Chicken Paitan Miso Chashumen, and both looked good. Wish they tasted as good as they looked, though. They weren't horrible tasting, but they're also not the best tasting ramen. What I loved about both was the chasu slices, which were soft and tasty. The broth of each ramen, though flavorful, were a bit on the "umay" side. For our sides, we chose karaage and gyoza. My boyfriend and I agree that the former was really good, even without the mayo. The gyoza was okay, but we think it's best eaten hot. However, both were oily (same as my boyfriend's ramen). Overall, it was a filling meal, but not a satisfying one. Price-ratio serving is acceptable, so it's a good enough ramen house to satisfy one's cravings. If I were to go back, it would only be for the karaage, though.

In Japan, it is known to be mobile wooden food carts available from afternoon 'til Midnight. It is popular across Fukuoka and other parts of Japan. Food stall venture is nothing new in the Philippines but, having a store of Ramen at the lowest price explains the crazy swarm of people. Yatai Yakitori opens at 5:30pm 'til 2:00am. We visited early at 5:00 in the afternoon to secure a seat and fulfill our Ramen cravings. There are two lines separating dine-in and to-go customers.

We ticked RYU off our restaurant bucket list, and ordered the chashu ramen and steamed pork gyoza. If you're like me, there is this ingredient in gyoza that I find very, VERY hard to stomach. Fortunately, RYU's steamed pork gyoza turned out to be really, REALLY good. The hero in RYU's steamed gyoza is the pork, and the soy sauce dip that came with the dish is light and slightly sweeter than I'm used to. It did an excellent job of whetting our appetite for the night's main attraction. It was one of those nights when we preferred not to kill our taste buds with Japanese curry, so we both opted for the chashu pork ramen, and ordered an extra tamago (soft boiled egg) with it. We can't help but compare with our current ramen standard bearer in UP Town Center. I thought that RYU's noodles were more substantial and filling, the slices of pork less fatty, and the tamago's yolk richer and silkier. It is in the broth where it falls short. The flavor is a bit thin and one-note. Aside from the broth, I can say that it has the makings of a dish that we'd be happy to pay upwards of 300 pesos for, and happily keep coming back for.
