Second time dining here with friends. This time, I had Green King and I enjoyed it. The ramen had that balanced taste of spiciness and sweetness. Also, the service was beyond great. With a booked reservation, we were accommodated properly. The restaurant's team members were all welcoming and checking regularly if we need something on our table. They served our food fast, even exceeding their set expectations of 10-15 minutes. Overall, it was a great dining experience. Great job to the team at SM Aura branch! read more

I'm sure everyone had that experience when you go to a restaurant then feel that either their staff are too busy or they just don't want to look at the customers... We had to call their waiters 2-3 times just for water, tissue or condiments refill. Other than that issue with the service, food is still great (although it seems like the kaarage was hit by "shrinkflation") and the restaurant is very clean. Highly recommended for your ramen cravings! read more

It's so weird that we cannot take home our leftovers. I would understand if we are in a buffet setting.

I like this place! I don't what's wrong about the other folks but this is only my second time here and the food is consistently good! My service was also great, maybe because I got the same fast and happy server (Miko). Kirin beer is always a good pairing with any ramen and especially for this place. Do try their featured or seasonal ramen and you won't be disappointed. It is table sharing so for small parties, no issues of getting a seat ... I'm a party of one and always get seated quite fast. Big groups will be harder as it is a first come first serve. Side dishes are also good and an extra tamago (boiled egg) is always a good add for more protein! Truly worth a try after church, for a late night eat, or if you're just up for some great ramen! read more

Ramen Nagi - Veggie Ramen ... just the broth - Ramen Near Me - Taguig, NCR

Ramen is one of my go-to comfort foods. I've eaten at a few ramen places here in Manila. So, when Ramen Nagi opened in Manila, I had to try it! In Ramen Nagi, it's all about the soup. They have 4 soups: Original King (Butao), Red King (Akao, Spicy soup), Green King (Midorio, "Pesto" soup) and Black King (Kuroo, Garlic and Squid ink soup). The night I ate here, I was with friends. So, we were able to order a bowl each. Ramen price is Php410 (8.77USD) for all 3 except the Original King which is Php390 (8.34USD). Like ramen houses in Japan, you can customize how you want your noodles (richness, spiciness and even how hard or soft you want your noodles). If it's your first time, best to ask for the Chef's Recommendation. Now, let's talk about the soups. The Original King is rich and is not too fatty/oily. But, honestly, I have tried better soup at other ramen houses. The Green King was surprisingly good. It was like eating "Pasta Ramen". I like that they added Parmesan cheese to compliment the pesto. The Red King was not as spicy as I expected. But, you have to mix it well because of the red ball of seasonings they put on top of the ramen (lesson learned.). Lastly, the Black King, which was my order, was the strangest among the 4 soups. At first, I liked the flavor and how thick the soup was. But, as I ate more of the soup, I found myself struggling to finish my ramen. I think the thickness of the squid ink got to me. Don't get me wrong, it's a very good soup base, I guess it just wasn't for me. :( Overall, I liked that the service is fast and that their ramen soups are tasty. They also offer special limited ramens like Truffle King or Curry King. :) read more

Cheerful vibe from the red interiors, loud welcome remarks and weird pipe in music. Enjoyed my first Ramen Nagi visit and my bowl of Black King. Waiter usually gives a paper bib. Wear it and don't think twice not to! Nice to compare with your seat mates who eats the messiest. The squid ink gives that umami flavor and fried garlic makes it intense. Very unorthodox but so good! Others find it too fishy but it works for me. Thought to get the richness less than average and found it still too much. Add a bit of fresh crushed garlic to cut the cloying factor. Order your noodles extra hard or hard so they don't get soggy at the end. read more

Out of all the ramen joints that I've tried, I consider this as one of my favorites. The long waiting line kind of gives the impression that they serve really good food and indeed, they do. So when my friends and I passed by the place and the line was noticeably short, we grabbed the chance. Being the adventurous foodie that I am, I tried one of the chef's recommendations:Red King. Judging by the photo on the menu, I knew it's going to be a spicy treat. I was right. Good thing its level of spiciness was on point. It didn't pretend to be spicy nor did it scrape my tongue with strong spices and sauces, The meatball and the noodles were both really flavorful as well. With all the other interesting items on the menu, and a memorable first experience, I will definitely go back to this place over and over and over. read more

Ramen Nagi - Red King - Ramen Near Me - Taguig, NCR

Ramen Nagi gets a golden star for its many quirks that add up to being a good time bound to be had. As you enter the place, the banners, logos, and menus scream bold red against the neutral and peaceful wooden walls and tables. The whole inside is jampacked with energy, especially with the funny, enthusiastic waiters and chefs who welcome you and have occasional bursts of pump-up cheers. I'm a huge fan of how you get to customise your order to how you want it. I keep the spice somewhere below 3, hard noodles, and order shoulder instead of belly because the broths tend to be rich on their own. On that note, I suggest keeping the richness, special sauce and garlic as normal or light because when they say rich, they mean it. Though I commend Ramen Nagi for its initiative in bringing the authentic Japanese ramen experience to the Philippines, a detracting factor would be their seating style and how they push for us to sit next to or close to strangers. I'm fine with it but usually my family would rather wait for a whole table to open up before sitting down. I'm guessing the close proximity is simply a value that doesn't really sail in the FIlipino restaurant culture. read more

Last minute decision. Did not disappoint. The broth is definitely full of flavor, NOT watery with seasoning. Quick service and delivery of ramen bowls. read more

The food is always good. But when you have the staff shouting at each other from one end of the restaurant to the other, it ruins the experience. read more

The food was great! I totally recommend getting Butao Ramen, chefs recommendation + pork belly If you're not into spicy spicy maybe just get the level one or less. I would've gave this place 5 stars cause their ramen is really good compared to others I've tried in the Philippines. But they forgot an order for our table and they weren't so happy refilling our water (esp cause their spice level in a little strong) Overall would come back though! read more

When I passed by this place a few months ago, it was always full and had a long queue. I was not that surprised because I know that these kind of "new" restaurants are always being flocked by people, especially during lunch time. As with any other restaurant, I always suggest that your first visit be at the time where there are not a lot of people for two reasons. One, they're not in a hurry so they can carefully prepare the dish without any pressure that might affect the overall quality of the dish. Second, don't you just hate it when you have to wait for food? The first time I tried this place was on a Sunday at lunchtime. There was a queue but I was with my family and they chose this Ramen place so I had no choice but to wait. When we were seated we were handed slips of paper and red crayon. On the slips of paper were options to customize the ramen like alter the broth creaminess, the cooked-ness of the pasta, the meat parts, and some other ingredients. Being unsure of what to put, I just checked the chef's recommendation but made sure to choose the aldente option for my noodles. I heard that aldente is the normal cook for Ramen and Italian pasta so I decided to fully immerse myself in the Ramen experience. I ordered their Red Hot Ramen. The broth was indeed tasty. The noodles were aldente: not soft and quite chewy but in a good way. The spiciness was alright for me. My brother,who had a high tolerance for spicy food, had increased the level of spiciness for his Ramen was now scrambling for a glass of water. So next time you're here and you decide to order their Red Ramen, be sure to ask about the level of spiciness and be sure of your tolerance. We ordered their Chicken Karaage, which is just Japanese for fried chicken. Their take on fried chicken is a bit different. It's not so crispy like our average fried chicken. The interesting thign about it is the mayo dip. It really gives a unique flavor to the chicken. The Ramen was good and it really filled me up. I enjoyed the Chicken Karaage, which i think I liked better than their Ramen. read more

The best Ramen so far, I'm from Las Vegas and have been to every Ramen in Vegas were each restaurant is competing with each other due to Vegas being one of the highest tourist visits, and what i can say is that Ramen Nagi is better than any Ramen place in Vegas read more

I finally tried Ramen Nagi thanks to the constant cravings and nagging of my boyfriend. I'm not really a soup and noodle fan, and would rather get myself a nice serving of fried katsu from next door, but I could see why Ramen Nagi was constantly filled to the brim. Being the first-timer, I ordered the original King. The broth of my ramen was very rich and perfectly salted and it paired well with the generous amounts of spring onions. My noodles were cooked al dente but as recommended by many, I wish I had them extra-hard instead. The pork shoulder was impressively tender and the sweetness of it complemented the saltiness of the broth. But what fascinated me the most is the way a simple medium-boiled egg could be that tasty, the gooey-in-between-wet-and-dryness of the yolk felt beautiful on my pallet. I now understand why people are willing to sit elbow to elbow for a bowl of Ramen. Never in my life would I have thought I'd be craving for something as random as a medium boiled egg - try it! read more

Out of all the Ramen joints, I honestly find Ramen Nagi at the bottom of my list. My palette when it comes to broth for Ramen is usually centralized in miso maybe that's why I'm not a huge fan of this place. One thing that I've complained about before is the loud background music looping. In Japan, everyone is very zen and quiet. So I was taken aback when constant drumming was the music of Ramen Nagi. I do like the fact that you can customize your Ramen according to your liking. I usually have them placed a lot of garlic since I like the nutty garlicy taste. I definitely remove spice since I'm not a fan. For noodles, I go for the hard ones. My theory is that the hard noodles will still cook in the soup when given to a customer so eventually it will become soft. Servings are massively huge that I tend to not finish my bowl. read more

I got curious with Ramen Nagi because of all the raves that people were giving about it. Being a ramen fan, I couldn't pass on an opportunity to try them out. I must say, I wasn't unsatisfied with the food, but I wasn't thrilled either, I've tried many ramen bars and though their ramens were very flavorful, I found them a little bit too overwhelming. The noodles were great and true to the Japanese style of being firm, but I found the soup to be too thick that I got full just looking at it. It also doesn't help that their servings are huge, making it even more difficult to finish a meal (plus, they don't allow you to take it home so it becomes a waste if you don't finish it). I did, however, like the gyoza that my mom ordered and decided that maybe next time, I'll just order that or just share the ramen with someone. Lastly, I didn't like the feel of the place... it was so loud and I felt a bit rushed and stressed when eating there. Overall, I don't think I would ever crave Ramen Nagi like how others usually say they do. I guess it was all hype... But I'm still open to giving it another shot someday. read more

Ramen Nagi is my family's favorite when it comes to ramen. We come back often and has never been disappointed. The staff are very helpful and food is just great. If it is your first time to eat here I would recommend their Butao King and get the Chef's recommendation for spices and stuff. But if you are more adventurous you have a lot of options from spices to type of noodles you want. Just talk to your server and they will help and guide you to make your very first order. Five star for this place! read more

we went to Ramen Nagi Magnolia to celebrate our daughter's 12 year old birthday. we availed of their famous birthday promo. once we have sat down and ordered, ordering quickly since the kids were hungry, we were asked to show an ID for my daughter so we showed them a copy of her passport ID on my phone. apparently they decided that this would not suffice and asked for a real ID; was it fake? what other ID aside from a passport could a 12 year old have? dapat dala dala namin passport pala just in case we go to Ramen Nagi??? anyways they ended up not honoring the birthday promo. if ayae nyo Naman ibigay Yung bday promo wag nyo na lang Sana ipost. #ramennagisucks you read more

Ramen Nagi is one of the best Ramen restaurants in town. It has won the top spot in the National Ramen of the Year Competition for 2 consecutive years and I'm so happy we can enjoy their award winning ramen in Manila! In Ramen Nagi, you can customize your ramen which way you want. You can choose between four standard ramen: Butao King, Black King (which has squid ink!), Red King (spicy, my favourite!), and Green King (pesto and cheese!) and a limited ramen which is the Ebi King (shrimp). From there, you can choose your soup base (richness, special sauce and taste), toppings to go with it (pork, vegetables), spice level and noodle firmness. If you want to play it safe, go for the chef's recommendation, it never fails. You can also order sides like tamago (highly recommended!), chashu, seaweed and extra noodles among others. Each order of ramen comes in this huge bowl which is enough for one person, I would say. Go here hungry though, because they don't allow take outs to preserve the quality of their ramen. read more
