We've been eating here for years. This visit I got the Shoyu ramen while my husband ordered the Shio ramen but he liked the Shoyu more so we switched. I enjoyed the Shio ramen since the flavor was not overpowering. Even my toddler liked it. read more

I hear a seat in this ramen spot is usually hard to come by and I can understand why: delicious food served up in cozy space. Luckily, my party of 7 stopped by during the a slower mid afternoon time, and the staff sat us all side by side at the bar. Each person in my party noted their dish as some of the best ramen they've ever had and our host confirmed, best ramen in Manila. I had the tantanmen and the noodle texture went crazy. The flavor of the creamy broth was BOLD yet well balanced. I've never had ground pork in ramen before, but it soaked up the broth in the most pleasant way. I wish I got 5 eggs in my bowl because the one I did have was cooked perfectly. And the bok choy... so crisp. read more

Not bad for a ramen restaurant. Had the shoyu ramen. The broth is pleasant with a nice piece of chasiu. Add a perfectly cooked tamago and a few pieces of chicken kaarage and gyoza. A meal worth it. Total cost ₱800 Parking is unfortunately unavailable. You need to park across the street at unimart or estancia mall read more

Yushoken - Shoyu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Muntinlupa, NCR

The most amazing Ramen. Often crowded as Philippine restaurants often are, but service is great considering. I always crave this ramen and always grab a bowl when I'm in the Philippines. read more

This restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing and noticeably very busy. It's wait line is truly an hour and they make you order before you sit down so your food will be ready when you actually get a seat. Although, their check in process is quite messy and the tables are not cleaned too much - just wiped down. When you do finally sit down, you see rushed quite a bit and it's uncomfortable. read more

The service was good and they serve the tastiest ramen with reasonable price. Definitely going back.

The best tonkotsu ramen in Manila. Bar F'ing none. The lines outside speaks for itself. Once you get in though you have a myriad of choices. I usually go for the off-menu Ebi Tonkotsu which they only have 20 bowls a day, supposedly. If you're not so lucky or predisposed for a seafood ramen, the Shio is the vanilla of the Tonkotsu line and you wouldn't be disappointed. The Chashu is perfectly grilled and still buttery in your mouth. read more

Great Ramen place as shared by most post. Ramen Familiarity: Japan, US Friendly Staff, Clean, and now for the main info... The FOOD. Had the following... -Gyoza -Shoyu // you want it spicy like me, just add their spicy oil; good in grilling the lean pork vs belly type of cuts like most even in Japan. -TanTan-men // just a tad too creamy, but yummy nonetheless That's all folks read more

Hands down the best ramen in Metro Manila. It is pricey but you get what you pay for. I had the Tantanmen and boy it was so delicious, you'd believe their backstory about 'Ramen God' lol. Gyozas and Kaarage are very good too. The place is always busy. I suggest seating at the bar for a better dining experience. read more

I live very far away from Alabang. I will only go there if it's for work and, in those few times that I do go, I make sure the trip is worth it by eating a bowl of ramen at Yushoken. In my opinion, they have THE Best Ramen in Manila! The menu is very simple; there are only 17 dishes on the menu (excluding the beverage options). For the ramen, there are 4 ramen soup variants: shio, shoyu, miso and tantanmen. What makes Yushoken different is their soup, I can only describe it as "creamy", rich, thick and full of umami. Of all the soups, I go for the Tantan-Men which is the spicy soup base (not too spicy but it has the most well-rounded flavor among the 4, in my opinion). Also, the noodles are made in house! A bowl of Tantan-Men is Php380 (8.14USD). For first-timers, go for the Shio Ramen (Php320, 6.86USD). To complete your Yushoken meal, try their Gyoza (5 pieces, Php150, 3.21USD) and Karaage (Fried Chicken, Php210, 4.50USD). When I'm feeling bad and need a pick me up, I also order an Aji Tamago (Php80, 1.71USD) which I eat with the remaining soup. :) Here are a few rules you MUST follow: NO reservations are accepted. NO takeout of leftovers. Or, in their words, "If you want a takeout, buy instant ramen". Duly noted. read more

Heard that Yushoken is one of the best ramen places in Metro Manila. Well, it definitely didn't disappoint! The soup was great but probably comparable to other good Japanese restos (I had the miso ramen). The noodles, on the other hand, were to die for! Also, I'm not a fan of gyoza, but theirs were the best ones I've tried! read more

Yushoken - Ramen Near Me - Muntinlupa, NCR

For two years, Yushoken's been consistently serving those bowls with precision. A great ramen experience to curb your craving or try something new in the form of maze soba- a vibrant bowl of different textures (crunchy greens plus oozing golden egg yolk). Their soup-less variations of ramen is a great alternative when you don't want to bother with slurping/puffing your way into your meal. I just suspect little differences in their chashu every now and then- sometimes I don't get a sliver that's kissed by a lovely grill mark. It's tenderness is everything though! Meanwhile the food and service is stellar, I really hope they do some repairs with their bathroom. read more

Love it here! Would come back soon, I totally recommend their ramens, sushi, and gyoza. The ambiance is great too!

I get it. I finally get why so many friends are raving about Yushoken. Their tonkotsu broth really is something to call home about --- I was torn between continuing to slurp my ramen and sending a photo of my bowl to friends. The slurping won, of course, but I still sent out the photo about how the ramen gods have truly blessed this place. There really is some kind of sorcery that happens when they boil that broth for 12 hours and you can immediately tell how seriously they take their craft when their menu tells you point blank that the soup needs to be eaten ASAP and that "If you want to eat ramen at home, we recommend instant noodles" Noted, with thanks. I've tried the shio (salt-based) and shoyu (soy sauce) ramen and both are fantastic, but I prefer the richness of the shoyu just a little bit better. Their bowls aren't as massive as other ramen places but you don't mind because it's so flavorful and every element is done just -right- to make every spoonful amazing. It's not surprising that they make their own noodles and gyoza wrappers. So yes, if you're there for the ramen, do yourself a favor and order the gyoza (pork dumplings) and the aji-tamago (half-boiled egg). read more

Beat authentic ramen gyoza ! Won't regret the long wait. Will keep coming back for more

Food is good but I'm giving this place only 3 stars due to the fact that they don't allow taking home leftovers. Back in the US yes, they don't allow take home orders for their own reasons BUT they allow taking home leftover. We drive all the way to ATC, wait in line just to eat at this restaurant wanting a taste a little of everything so yes by the time your ramen comes,customers are quite full. I really think the no take home policy sucks! My opinion, again the food is good but you might want to rethink your NO take home (leftover) policy! read more

I am such a huge ramen fan. I've been living in Alabang my entire life, and I've been waiting for a ramen restaurant to open in the area. Finally! My prayer has been answered, and the clear answer is Yushoken! I usually get the spiciest ramen in any ramen restaurant, and in Yushoken, the spiciest dish is their most ordered dish, the Tantan-Men (P 380). I usually order it with a side dish of Aji Tamago which is also known as 'Seasoned Egg' (P 80). I especially love putting the egg in the ramen. Other than their ramen, their Chahan aka Japanese Fried rice (P 220) is really delicious! The perfec t partner for Yushoken's Chahan is my favourite dish out of all, their Gyoza, which is a dish consisting of wonton stuffed with cabbage and pork (150). I must say that although most people love Yushoken because if the different kinds of Ramen they serve, I most definitely love this restaurant for their Gyoza. ;) Yushoken has got to be my one and only favourite source of Gyoza. read more

Yushoken - Tantan-men with Aji Tamago - Ramen Near Me - Muntinlupa, NCR

My boss is a ramen eater and she's been raving about this place in Alabang called Yushoken. With that said, I made my way all the way from North to experience what the hype is all about. I arrived at 11 am because my boss said that it is kind of difficult to get a seat during peak hours. But to my surprise, almost half of the tables were already filled. I ordered Shoyu soba because I've eaten ramen recently and an additional order of one of their best seller--gyoza. To my surprise, the serving of their soba is really big. I even finished eating everything despite of having a lot of orders for myself. Each ingredient remained its own taste despite the fact that they are all mixed together in a bowl. Definitely worth my trip! read more

Yushoken - I will shoyu my love. - Ramen Near Me - Muntinlupa, NCR

I am not really a Ramen lover, but most of my friends are. Whenever they go out to different Japanese restaurants to try out their ramen, I just sit beside them and order a completely different dish. When my friends from Alabang decided to bring me to Ramen Yushoken, they refused to let me order anything that isn't ramen. I just wanted a plate of Gyoza and Karaage, but they just won't let me have it. I didn't know what I wanted so I just ordered their Shio Tonkotsu Ramen. The waiter told me that it's one of their bestsellers so I just went with it. When my order finally came, I noticed how it looks different from the ramen that my friends ordered. The soup appears light and clear, having no distinct colors. The only ingredients that I noticed from my dish were pork, green onions, and the sesame seeds. I really liked the taste and the combination of the different flavors of the dish. Even though ramen is not my thing, I wouldn't mind going back here to try out more stuff from their menu. read more

Yushoken - Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Muntinlupa, NCR

This is one of the best ramen places in the south. Hands down. The ramen broth is very rich and flavorful, and their noodles and gyoza are made fresh each day. I got their tonkotsu tsukemen, which has cold noodles in a hot broth. I think I paid around Php 390 for a bowl. Again, I just wanna say how much I love the broth. I drank everything in my bowl and that's coming from someone who barely finishes her meal. That is something. The noodles are a bit fatter than I would like but that's okay, I don't think it's something worth complaining about. The staff are nice and they didn't take forever to give me my tsukemen, which is also something. This place gets jam-packed as the day progresses so I'm not sure if they can serve as fast as they did in a lazy day at that rate. read more

Yushoken - Tsukemen tokontsu ramen and shio ramen - Ramen Near Me - Muntinlupa, NCR

Excellent ramen. They really know their broth and it's highly comparable to the real thing from its motherland, and their noodles are ALWAYS al dente. I often get the Miso Ramen but Tantanmen is a strong favorite, too. Gyoza was flavorful and generously proportioned, and their tamago is so good that I can't go there and not order it. I also like that they offer beverages such as Stellina's lemonade. There are many "hip" dining places now and while some end up being pretentious, Yushoken just never disappoints. It is excellent food-wise and so worth it price-wise that it really deserves the attention it's been getting! read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past, but I was practically dying of hunger. Not much else to say besides go see for yourself. You won't be disappointed read more

Actually, Yushoken is what makes the ramen in Japanese Cuisine a craving sensation. Especially the Gyokai, that is an amazing experience I have had in that restaurant. The price is reasonable due to its high quality of flavours and quantity that can make people share one bowl of ramen. The restaurant is actually evolving the nature of how people cook ramen, it's different in the authentic Japanese culinary culture--it just tastes a standard ramen--in Yushoken however, levels it up and gives a new perspective on how we can evolve this type of food. I would suggest to make promos or combos in some sort that can attract the people wherein that can give even more reasons to go and dine in Yushoken. read more

Yushoken - Shio ramen with aji tamago - Ramen Near Me - Muntinlupa, NCR

Excellent ramen. I got the Tokusei Tsukemen (dipping ramen). I found the tokusei broth pretty unique, very robust and covered the noodles well. Yushoken doesn't seem to have 'special' noodles for tsukemen ramen but they do make their noodles in house and I can say that they are already quite a bit thicker than many other conventional noodles. I did sample their shoyu and tantan-men ramen and they were bother very solid. But, major selling points for me in this visit was the tokusei broth and the quality of their noodles. read more

Whenever I eat ramen, I always look out for the perfect firmness of the ramen noodle, and Ramen Yushoken, which is located in Molito, Alabang, for me, has the perfect ramen noodle every time. Consistency is what I admire with this ramen joint in the South, and this is what contributes to the huge success that is Ramen Yushoken. My favourite in their menu would definitely have to be the Shoyu Maze Soba. It is a dry ramen of sorts assembled with a medley of bean sprouts, chopped cabbage, shreds of chashu (pork back fat), spring onions, topped with delicate egg yolk. Mix it altogether to go to ramen nirvana. No wonder people flock and the line gets really long. Don't fret though, it's worth the wait once seated. Up until this date, been a huge fan and no ramen joint has beaten that in Manila yet. Though they another brother in Makati. I still go for this one though. Any day. read more

Not a soup person. didn't really care for ramen. Came here for a family function. Glad I did. Shoyu was really good and got me to change my mind about ramen read more

For starters, I don't live anywhere close to Alabang. I'm an Ortigas girl; which means that I fall somewhere between what's considered the north and south of Manila. But for some strange reason that I can't currently fathom, I decided to apply for a job in the south and so I decided to try out Yushoken for lunch after hearing one too many rave reviews about the place. I was starving when I got to the place so I immediately asked the waitress to give me a breakdown of the offerings on the menu. I decided to go for the shoyu ramen and I dug into it like a ravenous beast as soon as it was set down in front of me. It was delicious. I understood what all the fuss was about. Serving time was quick, and I liked the interior of the place. Classy as hell but not over the top. read more

My fiance and I love ramen and so we travel around the metro to check out on the best ramen (well, for us) in town. Yushoken was the first ramen that we loved (and we still do). The noodles where not too soft but were tender, just enough for the soup. We think that Yushoken's soup has collagen. The thickness (and tastiness) of its soup is very much different to all other ramens. To be exact, nothing comes close to that. The soup is very tasty (or salty as some of our friends say) but the taste balances with the thickness of the noodle. We also wanted the gyoza of Yushoken, I think it's a hundered and fifty (Php 150) for five pieces (not bad). Their gyoza is really tasty. The wrapper is well-cooked. I like the sauce too. But be careful when you eat their gyoza becuase the insides are extremely hot. Yushoken's busiest time is during dinner (around 6:30 pm) until about 8. It's good for people who want to talk casually, catch up with friends. They do not have house tea but they unlimited free water. They also have some secret recipes (not in their menu) so you better ask that from them :) Whenever we eat there, we order the Karai Tokusei (rspicy amen) in which the noodle is separated from the soup and a set of gyoza. I hope you could also taste Yushoken and tell us about your experience. read more

After eating tons and tons of delicious Ramen in nyc, nothing has quite filled in that craving as much as yushoken. I am just really that alabang is home to what is arguably the best Ramen spot in Metro Manila! The shio and miso Ramen have a very thick broth which I love! The roast pork they serve is just amazing! It doesn't hurt that they sell Asahi beer which completes the meal. If you love Ramen and have not tried this place then you are missing out! read more

The real deal. They make the noodles on site. The eggs are perfect. The gyoza are surprisingly delicate. The broth is on salty side so it is good to have a few beers to numb your taste buds before eating. read more

SOUTHERN SPECIALTY. A consistent spewer of all things ramen-good, this Japanese ramen joint YUSHOKEN has definitely proved it's worth in the Manila food scene. People come here for the RAMEN and why shouldn't they? Their BROTH is full of delicious flavor and umami as fck, the noodles perfectly cooked with a bit of bite to them, while the roasted pork belly is thick with a great looking char as the juiciness drips out into your broth, further bringing dimension and immense flavor to an already great dish. MISO (FERMENTED SOY BEAN/MISO BASE), TANTANMEN (SPICY PORK BASE) , SHOYU (SOY BASE) and SHIO (SALT BROTH BASE). All are pretty great but SHOYO IS my no. 1 here. Upgrade this bad boy with as many RAMEN EGGS/AJI TAMAGO helpings as you can (I LOVE RAMEN EGGS so unapologetically, I get at least 2) and some mushrooms and you've got the ball rolling with the fresh and crisp green onion added to your broth, with the golden yolk in all it's glory, it's quite pornographic really. FOOD PORN *DROOL* Another option, which I am ALL FOR, is the TSUKEMEN where you get YOUR BROTH OF CHOICE IN A SEPARATE BOWL AS A DIP FOR YOUR NOODLES. FAN OF THIS! Make this a great dinner with a side of gyoza to share that's got a juicy pork mix that is mad tasty wrapped in wonton wrapped seared to a crisp! TIP, though: NO TAKE OUTS for the RAMEN ARE ALLOWED HERE. ENJOY YOUR BOWL AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT, please! Haha! read more

This is my most preferred ramen place. Second is Ippudo. Some people find their ramen a little too rich to their taste, but there's something in their uber savory broth that overrides the rich flavor. Try it. You might like it! Oh, can't not order those best Gyozas you'd ever taste. Again, my preference. It's juicy. Almost has a Xiao Long Bao effect to it. read more
