ramen nagi

food: delicious and portions are very big. you will be very full with one bowl of ramen
ambiance: simple, clean dining setting
price: price-wise it isn't the cheapest meal you can find. but for the 400+ you spend its still worth it cuz you'll be really full at the end

my friends know how much i love ramen and nothing beats a good bowl of ramen that makes me feel the authentic taste of japan. i ordered the black king, with the rich soup option, pork belly and the ajitama. definitely one of the best ramens i've had so far. the rich soup was thick and the paste had bits of meat to it which gave it a really umami flavour.

my boyfriend and i bought only 1 ramen for the 2 of us because i was certain that i would not be able to finish 1 all by myself. their ramen is so filling and satisfying. i would definitely come back here to try the other flavors.

different take on the ramen concept but definitely worth a try! pricing is on the high end but you get your money's worth. interesting deco.

one of the best ramen that i've ever had!! i've dined here a lot of times and i also already tried their butao king but this time i ordered their red king ramen because i loooove spicy foods while my sister tried their green king ramen both were absolutely fantastic and sooooo rich and tasty!! it's that soooo tasty that i had to order extra noodles because i can't let the broth be wasted and unfinished hahahaha will definitely come back here!! it's worth the money!!

ps: i think the menu here is not updated because their green, black, and red kings are 450 pesos each per bowl

my friends have been urging me to try out this place for months! first off, it's always crowded and full. nevertheless, we waited patiently to finally try out this place. we did the diy checklist and chose not to get the chef's recommendation. i tried the level 3 spicyness and i really flavorful soup. and lo, it was. i liked it overall and the hype is real. maybe next time i should get all the additionals for the soup like the egg and stuff but even without so, it was one solid bowl of ramen for me.

ramen nagi is one of the first restaurant concepts that offered ramen bowls, which piqued the interest of filipinos who were used to the typical mami. albeit a bit pricier than what we're used to, ramen nagi found its way into the hearts of pinoys, young and old alike.

a couple of years after it first launched, i revisited this "classic" ramen restaurant with my close friend, e, to have a quick catch up over dinner. since it's his birth month last august, we decided to avail the buy one, get one on butao king ramen (php 390), but we split the bill (tipid hack alert!!!). 😁

when the ramen was served, i was a bit disappointed that the presentation wasn't as nice as it used to be. ☹️ i took a sip of of the soup, aaaand it was quite bland. and too oily. 🙁 in fact, i didn't finish the soup because of the oiliness!!! the noodles were firm, and the serving size of the noodles was just right. the chashu slices were a bit dry. i felt like ramen nagi's ramen is now too commercialized, so much so that it lost its authenticity already. ☹️

service was just okay. though, i was also bothered at how cramped the spaces between the tables were... i felt like my personal space was being invaded. 😅 anyway, i'd probably still visit them in the future, only if they have interesting limited king flavors. as for their butao king ramen, i'd most probably skip that next time.

giving 2.5⭐ for this visit, but rounding up since we got it for an affordable price. 😅

ordered butao king with rich broth! still very flavorful and yunmy. staple ramen place that you can never go wrong with. service is also fast and very accommodating.

the ramen nagi branch that i frequently go to. same ramen quality served from all their branches, place tends to get crowded most especially during peak hours. good thing they have outside seating for those who cannot wait to be seated inside to dine.

craving for your ramen fix? ramen nagi will never fail! i always order the butao king which is the basic shoyu ramen broth with a side of gyoza. price of the food is reasonable with the serving and quality given to you. good thing that they have branches around the metro!

tried all their ramens (excluding the limited edition ones) and they’re unsurprisingly nice but tonkotsu broth’s still really rich even when you tick the lightest on their checklist. i find them “nakakaumay”. no wonder why this is a hit to most of filipinos. the (over) rich-tasting broth, fatness/cholesterol of the meat contents, the hint of sweetness, and all other stuff pinoys would really love. no offense to ramen nagi fans out there! i strongly think that we have different tastes when it comes to eating our preferred ramens.

restaurant’s ambiance is very, very nice though. lighting on point! perfect for food pictures! very attentive and approachable staff, and fast service.

first ramen house i was able to love and appreciate. ate there for 3 consecutive times because was craving for ramen, then i discovered hanamaruken and it became my new favorite

i have been to ramen nagi a lot of times and it's definitely in my top 5 most fave ramen in manila. the rainy weather got me running to ramen nagi. nothing like warm broth and noodles in this cold weather.

this time i got the black curry king. the broth was so flavorful however the spiciness kind of overpowered it. i like spicy food but i really didn't want anything spicy today. i almost always go for level 5 or more of fire sauce even when ordering red king but i went for level 2 this time. they said that the default is already level 2 so it would be level 4 with fire sauce. i was okay with that. however it didn't taste like level 4 at all. it was way too spicy and i wasn't up for that because i felt really acidic. however i think if it wasn't too spicy it would have been amazing.

also, unlike with other branches i've been to, the service here was kind of slow. i got here 11pm so the place only had 4 tables occupied but water takes too long to arrive. it was an okay experience though.

ramen nagi has always been my go-to when i'm craving for ramen. the staff is friendly and whenever i go here i usually get seated right away i also like the ambiance of it, it's very traditional for a ramen place. what i love here is that you can customize certain aspects of your noodles however you like. i've tried their original king, black king, and their green king and i was satisfied with all of them. looking forward to my next visit here.

the butao king here is the best!! i love it with extra hard noodles 👍, the black king’s alright, the flavor was just too much for me (especially the black ball 😬), their gyoza is fine. i always come back here when i’m craving some good ramen, even if the place is too crowded (they should definitely expand)
