    Ramen Kuroda - Curry Rice & Kuro Ramen Set

    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!

    Went to their branch in Trinoma and tried the meal in the picture. My mother tried the ramen &…read morebento set. She had a half serving of ramen and I thought I was having a half serving too but turns out my set came with a full serving! I was so full afterwards but that's all good because the food was so delicious. I especially appreciated the fact that the curry had cubes of beef and not the "malitid" strings of beef you find in other establishments.

    Went here for dinner with family since most are craving ramen and this is suppose to be my nephew's…read morefavorite ramen place... so we went and my kids and I were excited to try it for the first time. I was probably expecting a lot as I didn't feel like I was very satisfied and happy with the ramen I got. Everyone else seem to like what they got, my kids included. But they did say they had better. Service was good and staff was friendly. Ambiance and decor was also great. Love their Japanese themed decor and the chairs with baskets to hold your personal items and bags or purses. Just don't forget to grab them on your way out.

    This is for Phia and Raphael…read more Full disclosure: I have never been a fan of soup or dishes with broth... that is, until I had my first Butao at Ramen Nagi. I would liken this type of restaurant to Chipotle, where you can customize your order. Ramen Nagi is the fast casual version for Ramen. We were greeted with the enthusiastic Irasshaimase by the servers as we stepped inside. The restaurant had Japanese decor all around, with tables, chairs and benches for larger dining groups. Phia helped me customize my order based on my preference, which each one wrote on their own order sheets and later on collected by our server. Our sever delivered drinks and after a short wait, everyone's piping hot ramen. After my first sip of the broth, I could immediately tell these guys have something special going on. The rich broth was meaty, with a creamy texture. It was very tasty! Everyone in my group enjoyed their ramen-- including me as only remnants of the broth remained in my bowl after I was done... yes, we have a ramen convert here. If I had one quibble, it would be that the restaurant temp was on the warm side, which made some of us (not gonna name names Raphael) sweat profusely. However, if it were any cooler, the ramen would cool down pretty quickly. Although Ramen Nagi would be at a different segment and lower price point than Ippudo, I would have to say that I enjoyed my experience in Ramen Nagi QC, Philippines much more than dining at Ippudo in NY. From the food to the relaxed ambience to the company of my beloved family... my Ramen Nagi visit was just awesome. I would go back in a heartbeat-- if I could!

    Less than a Php100 ramen? Within the busy streets of Malate, you will find this gem. They have Shio…read more(Php50), Shoyu (Php50), Miso (Php80) and TanTanMen (Php80). To manage your expectations, do not expect high quality ramen. It's a carinderia style eatery and not the cleanest place to be. But, you'll see lots of foreigners and locals eating here! They also have another name for this place: Vest Ramen! Why? Because they are not only the "Best," they are the "Vest"! (LOL!) The broth is pretty good and the meat is tender. For the noodles, you can ask that they undercook the noodles. You can also add and egg! I recommend that you ask for a raw egg. Then,just drop it into the hot noodle soup! Have your ramen with a cold beer, perfection! The pork slice are tasty and tender but is also very tiny. So, add more for an additional Php20. Again, the place is not for neat freaks, you have to be a "cowboy" to eat here. One good point, they are open 24/7! A good, cheap place for your noodle cravings!

    Cheap ramen. CHEAP RAMEN. After years of getting conditioned to believe that you need to pay…read moreP350++++ for good ramen, it's nice to find places like Erra's that serve knockout ramen for LESS THAN P100. I mean, are you kidding me?!? CHEAP RAMEN. Actually, Erra's is a skanky street bar that looks more like a vulcanizing shop than anything else. And the ramen actually comes from a stall just outside Erra's called (I shit you not) "The Vest Ramen in Town". I don't know about it being "The Vest" (Sorry, couldn't resist), but it is very, VERY good. And if you don't believe me, drop by to see the horde of foreigners hanging out there every day. Malate shop owners should seriously get a clue from this. CHEAP RAMEN.

    My first time trying to come here was during prime dinner time and the queue appeared to be…read moreimpossible - with rows and rows of youths patiently waiting for hours for a bowl of ramen. 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

    Mendokoro has been my go to ramen restaurant here in Manila for years now. As they've expanded to…read morenew locations the quality and service has not changed. 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.
