It's a good thing we got there early (around 10:30 am) kasi may pila pala haha. The place doesn't let customers come inside until they open at 11 am. So just minutes after we arrived the line was sooo long already and by the time we went in, the place cannot accomodate all the people in line. The place was jampacked and the line was still loooong. Then came the food and it all explained why people are willing to stay in line and wait for others to finish eating and while waiting get tortured by watching those ahead of them eat while they drool upon the site. The people whose orders were already taken are waiting inside and can already smell the food which added to the torture hehe. Good thing we did not take part of that "torture" experience as we were second in line. But if we do come back and the line is loooong maybe i'd still take the chance to stay in line (note that I'm not fond of being in lines and hate to wait for whatever it is that I have to wait for) and get tortured coz anyway I'll experience the goodness of their food afterwards. �
I had several recommendations to try this place out. Amazing experience. Had to wait for a while because we came in a bit late and the queue was a bit long, but boy that Shoyo ramen was great. The gyoza was awesome too. I’ll be back for a different ramen next time.
📍Mendokoro Ramenba- Super Chashu
Hands down, one of the best ramen in the metro. The broth is very rich without being overwhelming or “nakakaumay”. The noodles are just the perfect hardness and their chashu is super flavorful and tender (melts in your mouth)! My usual order would be the Shoyu Ramen as this personally offers the perfect ratio of chashu to ramen, but...

On our second visit, we tried their Seafood Ramen and I can't remember the spicy ramen recommended by their staff (3rd pic) both from their secret menu and of course Gyoza. Definitely worth the wait!👌🏻
For me, Mendokoro Ramenba still is the best ramen place in the metro
quite close to authentic japanese ramen. will go back once place becomes less packed

Wsgood everybody. Lil’ Lisa here.
I used to think craving ramen was kinda lame to crave.
Then, my world changed when I tried Mendokoro’s Tsukemen (dipping ramen). Lolol. Ever since I first went here about half a year ago, I would bring my visiting friends from wherever to try this place & I’d always end up apologizing for making future ramens difficult to compete w. It really is a life changing experience if you’ve only tried ramen from the US, Canada or whatever. This is an honorary & well-deserved go-to spot of mine now.
Anyway, I typically get Tokusei Tsukemen cuz I’m a wuss to anything spicy. Although, I’d say if u can handle hot Cheetos’ spiciness, you can handle the “spicy” Karai Tokusei Tsukemen. Most people I bring here who order the “spicy” one enjoy that more than the regular one. But order whatever you like. :) Their Tsukemens are very hearty & flavorful unlike any other dipping ramen I’ve had back in California or even in the PI lol.
Just try it, man. You’ll know.
Order Recommendations:
- Tsukemen (Tokusei, or Karai Tokusei)
- Gyoza
- Extra Chashu (pork)
= All fire. :’)
You’re welcome. *mic drop*
My top 1 ramen place.
They don’t accept online or call reservations. Customers will need to order and pay right away to reserve a seat. You’ll need to wait for 30 minutes to 1 hour, though. It’s worth the long wait, anyway.
I ordered a special chashu ramen which is a not-so-secret ramen choice from their menu. They served hard noodles. The soup was flavorful, tamago was not too sweet, and chashu and gyoza were perfect.
The servers were attentive and they quickly refill your water glass. They are not using tap water (important for me).
Go-to ramen place - you can never go wrong with the taste, quality, and value. The noodles are al dente, the egg is perfectly cooked, and the taste is consistent. Very dependable ramen place!
Great ramen! The ramen here is great! The Only problem is that the soup in the ramen is too thick; Don't get me wrong but i liked the soup but some people might not like that its a bit to thick.
The line is not that crazy before 7pm. Bathroom is spacious and well maintained. I love how attentive the staff were in constantly refilling our water and explaining the dish in case of first timers. I love their regular ramen and decided to try their bonito tsukemen this time, soup had so much bonito and salty flavour that it came with a shot of vinegar as a side to dilute the taste if desired. Noodles were thicker and more “al dente.” I wasn’t able to eat all of the meat in my soup/broth due to its saltiness and preferred the tonkatsu tsukemen that my friend had, because it had a more subtle flavour. Nonetheless, would still come back and try each and every dish they offer, with gyoza as a staple snack on the side. 😉
The set up is not your typical restaurant but a horse shoe type of long table. Thus it will require you to wait in a queue if you were not able to get a seat on an earlier batch. Each batch will take approximately 30 minutes, so on a very long queue you might have to wait much longer. It is also not guaranteed that if you are in a group you will be able to seat together. This set up may not be ideal if you have children that needs feeding. I ordered tantanmen. It was creamy with a mild pinch of spiciness. The taste is good, but after a while the taste becomes pall probably because of the creaminess. I think overall it is the experience in the senses that attracts. The smell of food cooking and how the food looks. I will surely go back here as other food in the menu is interesting.
Super chashu! Not your average ramen! Great to satisfy your ramen cravings!
