    It's been a while, at least 10 years since I went to Ippudo for ramen. It was in NYC when I visited my nephew. Been trying different restaurants in MOA. Today I'm craving for ramen. I was seated promptly, no long lines yet thank goodness! I don't even remember the name of what I had because I asked the server just give me your most popular ramen and make it spicy. Plus a side dish of fried chicken. The verdict...delicious ramen with perfectly soft boiled egg lol! Delicious fried chicken! Can't wait to have another bowl of ramen!

    The special with medium hardness noodle.

    I've never heard of this place but my brother in law has. He recommended it when he saw the restaurant. Our large group of 13 was seated and our orders came out in a timely manner ~ 15 minutes. I ordered the Akamaru Special which included the soft boiled egg (think 5 minute boiled egg), pork belly slices and medium firmness ramen noodle. The tonkatsu broth was so amazingly rich and creamy. I was in heaven. The portion size is smaller than a US portion but don't let that fool you. You can order some appetizers such as the cucumber , fried or steamed gyoza if you brought your appetite. Service was on point, unlimited refills of the iced tea and we didn't have to wait long for the food. I'd come again if I was shopping in the Mall of Asia.

    Great tasting ramen! Broth was not to thick or then and was very flavorful! I liked that the they used thin noodles. Our server as well as staff made sure we were well taken care of!

    Akamaru Shinaji special! (Order very hard noodles)

    The best dish I've had so far while visiting the motherland, and definitely the best out of 4 places I tried at MOA.

    So happy we got to try the Crab King Ramen on the last day of the promo! It was delicious. My…read moresister had it at Ramen Nagi's Ayala Malls Manila Bay location the day before and loved it, so she told me to try it after flying in to Terminal 3 from Mindoro. Ramen Nagi is inside the Food Hall in Terminal 3 which is located on the 4th floor. Hang to the left when you enter the Food Hall and you'll see it on your right right across from KFC. We got there around 11 am, so it wasn't terribly busy. We got seated right away and proceeded to order the Crab King Ramen. It was the last day of the promo. It looked so impressive when it came. The ramen came with a large piece of nori and a deep fried soft shell crab on top of the models. Michael and I ordered the same thing except that he ordered thin noodles. I ordered the thicker curly noodles. We both agreed that the broth was fantastic. It was milky, not too heavy and so full of umami especially with the crab flavor. We ate the crab as soon as we started as we didn't want it to get soggy. The egg was also perfect. The orange yolk inside was jammy. Definitely perfectly cooked. We also had an order of Karaage which was good (4 stars) and an order of Gyoza which was just okay. It came out piping hot. I have to say that I like the gyoza better at Daikokuya in Little Tokyo LA. I haven't found anything as good as Daikokuya's gyoza. We loved the food so much we decided to have lunch here again the following day. They no longer had the Crab King Ramen. Michael ended up getting a regular Tonkotsu Ramen with Pork Belly and an egg. The egg wasn't as perfectly cooked this time, but he still loved the soup. I decided to order something lighter like Tempura from Akimitsu Tendon. If you're in Terminal 3, definitely check out Ramen Nagi. The ramen is delicious and so inexpensive at under $10.

Dine-in space looked pretty limited although late afternoon seemed like a good time! FOOD Butao King was delicious as always (in comparison to all other branches we've been to). Noodles were extra firm, broth was umami, and the veggies were perfect in quantity. It is still such a convenience to be able to request exactly how you want your ramen to be cooked (on the paper). SERVICE Waiting time was very much acceptable. We hardly had to wait long and the food was served very hot.

    Me and my family came here after my sisters graduation at PICC. It was roughly about 3 pm, it was…read morebusy but we were seated right away. The restaurant had a really cute Japan theme with super cute decorations! The food was really good and different. We ordered the Gyoza (php 180), Chicken Karage Caesar Salad (php 190), Hakata Ramen (php 340) and the Cheese Ramen (php 350). The item that stood out to me was the Cheese Ramen, at first I thought that it wouldn't be good and I would get tired of it cause its just cheese and noodles. I ended up liking it because the cheese that they used wasn't overwhelming as I thought it would be. The Hakata Ramen was also really yummy and not too salty. Total ~$20

    Ramen with a cheese sounds odd but the taste is surprisingly good…read more The ambience resonates vintage Japan. Hanging lanterns and signages creates an authentic feel of eating along the streets of throwback Tokyo. I came from Asia Pop Comic Con in SMX and it is better to dine outside MOA to avoid the hassle. It was a long, tiring day and a bowl of Ramen is the only thing I have in mind. Good thing there's a branch of Mitsuyado Sei Men in blue bay walk. Tsukemen means "dipping noodles", the art of eating ramen with a separate broth and soup to dip the noodles. The regular bowl of cheese tsukemen is a contention of a savory soup and thick sauce cheese. The taste is confusing on the the onset but I easily acquired the taste. I also ordered ebi tempura don. I have the urge that I deserve to eat noodleas and rice at the same time. The pacing of the service is slow. There's a refillable service tea but they don't serve glass of water. You can also bring home pastries and bread from Yamato Bakery conveniently connected at Mitsuydo Sei-Men. The original branch is located at Jupiter street in Makati City.

What we like about Isshin is that they go out of their way to serve customers. Both my husband and I ordered food that were not in their menu like tekkadon and kakeage udon. They also made it so good and tasty!

    You know its legit when you step into a Japanese restaurant with well, Japanese people. Located…read morealong Arnaiz in Makati, Isshin isn't the next new cool people place. In fact, it's more like an institution. The servers there are all familiar faces and if you visit often enough, know what you're going to order the minute you step into the door (they almost always know that my dad will either order a plate of mixed tempura or a lunch bento box and beat him to it). But more than just good service, the food is also excellent. The taste is there but what I love more is that the meals are hearty. Not like the other expensive Japanese establishments in the metro. This place is value for your money. The tuna and salmon sashimis are always fresh and their tonkatsu offers a good mix of lean and fatty strips of pork--because who doesn't love variety? If you're visiting the place for a more special occasion, I recommend hitting up their teppanyaki bar for your Japanese steak and Japanese friend rice fix that's cooked right in front of you. Isshin is as legit as it gets. Sometimes I think the owners decided to put up shop outside of Little Tokyo to get more attention--and it definitely paid off.

Mentally bookmarked it and came back another day during off hours (3 pm) - the waiting benches outside were empty. The decor inside is impressive - a huge display of ramen spoons crown the central open kitchen where Chashu is being grilled and bowls of soup noodles are assembled. The order is taken at the register at the front before you are seated. Once seated at the bar, a chef and waiter on either side of the bar are there to help you out. I ordered a delicious Tsukemen, whose broth options were different had I ordered a regular bowl of soup ramen. The tsukemen broths appear to be more seafood forward and worth coming back to try them all. I do recommend getting extra chashu no matter what your order is. For just 315 PHP you get 3 extra pieces of smoky goodness, an outstanding piece of meat that I've never seen at any other ramen joint. Definitely a must-come-back to on my next Manila visit

The location in BGC was quite large with the bar like seating winding all around the kitchen area. Hundreds of soup spoons hung above. Ordering process was the same with the menu posted at the front. Three types of ramen (regular, dipping and soupless) plus side dishes like gyoza and extra char siu. Service was fast at the front and kitchen staff regularly shouted greetings in Japanese when getting seated. Food took a little long to be served as I watched one guy prepping, making the ramen and char siu. Seemed like they were a little understaffed that day. I had ordered my favorite tan tan men with a side of char siu. The broth was creamy and mildly spicy. Ramen was thick and chewy. Char siu was thick, juicy and added more flavors to my tan tan men. Their char siu was quite a generous serving of pork for the price. Beats many other ramen places. Gyozas here were also good. Crisp on the outside and good amount of filling inside. They offered two sizes, 3 or 5 pieces. Besides the slow service this chain still remains my favorite here in Philippines.
