Some of the most delicious ramen I've ever tried. The broth was very rich and creamy and they're…read moregenerous with the amount of protein they given. This location does have a vegan option for those who are looking. While the taste was exceptional, the limited space in the restaurant did lead to a bit of a wait before getting seated. However, they convieniently have a sister location just across the street which allows you to compare wait times between the two spots and choose the one that could accommodate you first.

The wait is long but worth it. They do not allow taking the food or any leftovers home and when I…read moreasked why it was because they want to sell you the "experience" and taste the ramen as fresh as it can be. So no taking home leftovers but you can do frozen ramen take out where they also have instructions on how to make it. We had the tantanmen ramen with extra charsiu and egg and it was phenomenal. No wonder they don't have you take it home. We also ordered gyoza which was a little too oily for me and also their Japanese fried rice and chicken karaage now the chicken was great but the rice was passable at best. The rice tasted like they old rice which would be perfect for your usual fried rice as that's what I use but this was too brittle. I paired the chicken with an Asahi beer which hit the spot perfectly. All in all I would say reserve seats first so you don't have to wait long. They make you order and pay ahead of time before eating which is worth noting. Oh and there don't have a lot of seating capability.

AMBIENCE & SERVICE…read more We were glad to see in their Facebook page that they were open. Upon our arrival, we waited for nearly a minute for someone to attend to us outside the entrance, but we ended up going in and heading right back outside because we were still supposed to wait. Only then did someone go outside and tell us to wait for the table to get prepared. This could be smoother next time if someone is readily available to guide us instead of leaving us guessing how long to wait outside, or at least leave a sign on the door. But then again, I'm aware they might have less staff due to the new normal, or staff might be more productive inside rather than out. Orders were taken verbally instead of the usual order forms with red pencils. Plastic dividers of the middle table we were at made it challenging to communicate with my companion, but tables on our right and left had one less plastic divider. Service was relatively quick; a big plus! FOOD & BEVERAGE Green King Ramen was still exceptionally delicious especially with the added parmesan flavor and bits of meat. I have impressions that the noodles might've come from the freezer because of the way some parts were still attached together, but this wasn't a big deal due to adjusted expectations for, again, the new normal. It's more important to me that everything is delicious and this was a success. The surprising bottled guava iced tea was a big letdown though. It was so bland that we didn't get our money's worth with it. Overall, we're still very happy with our ramen.

AMBIENCE Restaurant actually looked small once we entered…read more On the ground floor were seats suitable for solo travelers and couples while upstairs had a few tables for groups. Air con was fairly strong and the couch seats we took were very wide and roomy. The afternoon sun was relaxing throughout our stay! FOOD Gyoza was typically delicious especially with tiny dunks into soy sauce; a very safe choice for an appetizer. Both Shoyu and Shio Ramen were excellent! Flavor of the broth already wanted me to eat some more. Although both were expected to be salty, Shoyu was tastier and more interesting in my opinion. Noodles can be soft or firm. Since I always get them firm wherever I go, I was surprised that the texture reminded me of canton-type noodles, but I say this in a good way because I've never had ramen like this before; totally worked out well. I'll give a special mention for the Shirataki Noodles, a Php60 upgrade. It had a gelatinous texture that reminded me of sotanghon, but thicker. This noodle is known to be very low in carbs and calories, so I therefore conclude that I love normal noodles more! I had fun trying it out anyway. And, yeah, the free cold tea was actually good! SERVICE Our server did an excellent job explaining the Zomato Gold mechanics with her visual aid that looked like a menu. We ordered three dishes and got worried that the free dish might be the cheaper dish, making us feel like we should have used two memberships instead (to get two freebies for two orders). Turns out the other ramen was free. Friendly reminder to fellow foodies: If you are claiming Zomato Gold perks, always make the effort to present your code BEFORE ordering. And know the rules.

The place was very nicely decorated and welcoming to prospective diners. The chairs and tables are…read morenicely laid out in a very sparse place. But there were also dining tables outside. We opted to sit inside... The service was excellent. From the time you enter the place, you are greeted with smiling faces. And the staff are always more than happy to help you out with the orders and explaining the menu items. The food arrives quite promptly. It took around 15 minutes to get our orders, a very reasonable time to prepare ramen. But the ramen was on the very salty side! The size of the servings were good. The contents were as expected of a ramen. But the soup base was indeed on the salty side. A family member also confirmed my thoughts on the soup base being salty. No matter how good the ingredients, a salty soup base just doesn't cut it. Maybe I'll come back again next time I'm in Manila just to see if the saltiness was a one off deal or part of a standard recipe overdone with the salt measure...

Luckily this place was in the shopping center near our hotel. I was surprised at the menu and visually I just wanted to eat everything. The place is small but so was every other restaurant around there. Service was good and even though their might have been a language barrier on my end, they spoke English! The food was surprisingly good! Tonkotsu is known to be a little fatty on the Broth but there were vinegar, chili oil, and soy sauce to match your taste buds. I had the Yuzu (I usually order this back home) and I liked it. Very citrusy and peppery! My cousins had the Tonkotsu and they enjoyed it too! If it wasn't hott I would see myself coming here often.

Excellent ramen, with good prices to match (especially if you choose one of the sets that have both…read moreramen and donburi). The place has seen better days, though, with the interior looking rather tired and worn. It can feel pretty cramped inside, so if you're a large group try to get the private room. Service is good, and there are quite a few wait staff. Overall, a good place for a good Japanese meal.

This place is in dire need of lighting. It has that dark atmosphere only a pub could warrant…read more Keeping the temperature down low would also do them wonders. Gets pretty hot when you slurp down a piping bowl of noodle soup. Other than that, the staff is, surprisingly, efficient. I've observe their kitchen staff means business- prepped for dinner service and all our orders were out in a couple of minutes. The food though is average yet fairly priced. My pick was the kuro ramen and Rich got the aka ramen. My guess is their aka ramen has a bit of shrimp in it. Their bowls pale in comparison to other ramen-ya when you break it down per criteria: soup base- mild, noodles-al dente but not too springy, chashu- chewy. Takeaway: Ramen Kuroda is known for their set meals- bentos or ramen with side dishes that range from 300-500. Good place to get a bang for your buck or a nice family dinner, as they have other dishes good for sharing.

Unfortunately, my order of Miso Ramen with Butter and Corn tasted a bit on the salty side. If you were looking for traditional Japanese ramen, this wasn't it. The noodles were great...just the right texture, firm and chewy, never soggy. But the rest of the ingredients were "non-standard". The traditional seasoned egg wasn't there. And the pork slice was different. Maybe it's just a different region of Japan, or this may be a modern version of a standard Japanese fare. Anyway, my family enjoyed their orders so I guess a high rating for the place is deserved. I will try this place again when I'm back in Manila for a visit.

FOOD Caterpillar Roll was sweet and the river eel, although small, still tasted obvious and delicious. Iekei Yokohama Style Ramen was very umami and the extra firm noodles were perfect to my liking! Chashu serving was fair but the entire bowl was extremely filling! Spicy Miso Ramen was similar to the other ramen but it had corn and ground beef or pork. Between both ramen, I like the Iekei Yokohama Style Ramen because it was much simpler and straightforward. SERVICE Zomato Gold perks were easy to claim but we had slight misunderstanding on the drink. We were asking for free cold tea and got served Iced Twinings Green Tea Chai; had them take it back after the second conversation with them about it. When it was time to pay the bill, they forgot to void the beverage so we had to wait a little extra. ~ Nov. 2019

This is where I was treated to dinner. A great choice it was indeed. I immediately liked the area this was at. Parking was a bit of a hassle so we got dropped off while my cousin looked for a spot. We ordered entirely way too much food. So much that we had to take half of it to go. The food was great. I ended up only eating half of my sushi plate after I went to town on all the fried goods. Where they got me is with their mango shake. I spent the next 15 days having a mango shake at literally every establishment I ate at and let me tell you something, of the nearly 10 I had, the one here was by far the best.

Miyazaki is our family's go-to Japanese restaurant in the South and in Metro Manila in general…read more Menu is huge, portions are worth it, price point is justifiable and service is usually consistently good and fast. Their menu is like a book binder with different types of Japanese food to choose from. From donburis, ramens, tempura to rolls and sashimis -- their menu covers a lot more than other typical Japanese restos in Metro Manila and they do everything so well. My faves would be their spicy salmon or tuna sashimi, uni sashimi and their lunch specials. The lunch specials are so worth it (check out the back pages of the menu). Our family has tried a lot of items in their menu and most if not all have been delicious and satisfying. They've recently expanded to a bigger space to accommodate a new teppanyaki area and more tables. Miyazaki is always full but worth the wait. Parking in Molito is difficult though so keep that in mind. Highly recommend Miyazaki when you're craving for Japanese in the South and in Metro Manila.
