2015 Best Ramen in Manila | by a Japanese Reviewer

It was around two years ago that Manila experienced a ramen outbreak and everyone just can't get enough of it. No matter how long the line is or how far the restaurant is, a true ramen lover endures it all. It was always a question on which one is the best. Which one tastes the most authentic, I think it would be more reliable if the best ramen list came from someone who has had authentic ramen most of his life - a Japanese. Let's take a look at the list of Best Ramen in Manila according to Mr. Gaku Nakamura, a self-styled Japanese Ramen consultant. Last year, Ramen Nagi made it to the top of his list. 

#5 Mendokoro Ramenba

MUST TRY: Shoyu Tonkatsu

Gaku says: “Mendokoro has tonkotsu-based ramen with chashu. The restaurant looks just like a Japanese-style kitchen and it reminds me of a good ramen restaurant in Japan, Afuri. The taste of the broth and chasu is very nice.”

#4 Mitsuyado Seimen

MUST TRY: Cheese Tsukemen

Gaku says: “Tsukemen soup is yuzu flavor and the noodles are thick. I have never thought that cheese can fit wih Tsukemen, but you will be satisfied once you taste it at Mitsuyado!

#3 Ramen Daisho

MUST TRY: Miso Ramen

Gaku says: “The best Miso ramen in Manila! It is located along Shaw Blvd. Although not located in a major mall, lots of people go there just to eat Daisho's delicious ramen. Not only ramen, but their gyoza are also delicious.”

#2 Ramen Nagi

MUST TRY: Butao Ramen

Gaku says: “Nagi’s tonkotsu-based broth tastes like real Japanese tonkotsu. If you’re a first-time visitor, try Butao. When you've eaten half of it, try to add their Fire sauce to change the taste. You can also change the firmness of the ramen and the toppings based on your preference.”
