Ebi King is a winner! As described with special shrimp oil and dried shrimp powder, the flavor is amazing! I enjoyed eating this dish because it was also my first time to be given a ramen bib. It made perfect sense considering the flying seafood broth I made during slurps. If you love slurping out of shrimp heads, this place creates that experience in the form of ramen.
I'm extremely happy with this flavor, and whether this dish is temporary or permanent, I'm sure to return for more ramen. Thank you to Gilbert for good service and offering water. (Water is alkaline because I noticed the lemon in the pitcher.)

Great job as well for Greenbelt 3!
The best so far.. i walked from my hotel to MOA twice a day just to enjoy their savory one of the best ramen. I know it's a very busy place but one thing that I noticed is the staffs are just too busy taking oreders, forgets to smile and slow down to create a emotional connections with customers. I don't see them go back to the table and asked about the food and everything else. One of the lady that works there, she must be on management and she doesn't even interact with customers. I rated them with five stars on food taste and quality but two on customer service.
One of the best. For me, pinaka-sulit siya sa lasa and quantity of serving para sa price. Ang problem ko lang is parang iba yung luto ng ramen sa Ayala Malls the 30'th. Parang medyo malayo yung lasa at hindi kasing-sarap kumpara sa ibang branch. :-/
What kind of curse did you bestow onto my blackened soul that I am again craving for your ramen after having a bowl the last night? LOL
One of my favorite ramen house. Butao king is the best �
Ramen Nagi is to die for! Definitely a place to go!
Ramen nagi 🥰
Great taste especially broth 🤤🤤
Full bodied of taste plus the noodles and the meat perfect for rainy season
I have always been a fan of good quality ramen and Ramen Nagi takes the rightful spot as one of the bests I've tried.
From the tender meat to the rich broth, I just loved everything about it. We also tried the Green King which was, to easily explain it, a pesto ramen complete with parmesan. It was something pleasantly new. Not your typical ramen but it was really good.
We also tried their karaage and gyoza (not pictured) and also recommend trying those with their ramen.
The only reason I would only give Ramen Nagi a 4 out of 5 is because the pricing really isn't for every budget especially if you want all the possible toppings you can have like I do.
Would still come back and recommend to anyone!
Ramen Nagi is always awesome although it would've so much more if they had smaller portions for people who would like to eat alone and can't finish the big bowl. Menu items for dessert too is limited, would be cool for them to add.
One of the better Ramen Nagi restaurants we've been to.
We went to avail of their birthday promo: FREE Butao bowl on your birth month if you bring one paying adult will order the same.
--== AMBIANCE ==--
This restaurant is probably the smallest Ramen Nagi we've been to but the location doesn't have that much foot traffic so we haven't seen this place full. They also get the full noontime sun which can make the place extremely hot at noon but they do combat that with extremely high ac which works really well. The only problem is the ramen bowl gets cold fast.
--== SERVICE ==--
Service is good, at least they try to be. Not sure what's up with them today but they look upset with something and it's affecting the service. I felt they were really condescending in the way they served. Also, the food came out fast which is great but we practically didn't get any decent service after that. ☹️
--== FOOD QUALITY ==--
The ramen was definitely better than the one I had at their Trinoma branch. I'm happy with the rich flavor my ramen had.
If it's your first time at Ramen Nagi, you'll be ask to customize your bowl according to your preferences. If you're not sure what to get, just go for the Chef's Recommendation. You can also choose the spice level if you want to bring the heat. Just make sure that you mix the bowl because they put the chilli paste under the noodles so you won't get the spiciness until you mix it.

* Butao Bowl
* Gyōza
Everything is appetizing, from the ramen and appetizers like chicken karaage and their gyoza! 😊 We enjoyed it and we spent 995 for three recipes!
Another go-to place for your quick ramen fix! This crab king ramen is for the win! Super yummy! The place though gets too crowded a lot so this place is ideal for you if you're fine with the crowd. A ramen lover should try this place! 😊👌
ordered the red king which had just the right amount of spice, and was generous with the pork. and they offer bibs in case you're worried about ramen stains. i liked the checklists which allowed you to customize your ramen to your liking, although i went for the chef's recommendation this time around. the portions are really big, these would be better shared since they don't allow takeouts, something to do with ensuring quality which i don't exactly buy. the tables are also small, spacious for two but with four it gets crowded real fast.
Black king - 4.5
Expected but well-balanced flavors from a good ramen. Their checklist style ala ichiran helps you achieve your own perfect dish. I also enjoyed the black meaty bits, tender pork shoulder chashu, and their generous serving.
Butao king ****
Richer flavor, which is great but can easily be cloying after a while.
Gyoza ****
Light and fun to eat
Karaage 3.5
Good taste but pales in comparison to other leveled up karaage
Place ****
Ample seating, open kitchen style, with beautiful interiors like you're actually in Japan. No inhouse restroom tho.
Service ****
Courteous and attentive servers. Serving time was relatively fast. A number of condiments are available per table.
Price 3.5
Quite expensive although justified by the quality and serving size, at least for the ramen. Meanwhile, i think the gyoza and karaage are overpriced for their small serving.
Credit cards are accepted. Bill includes service charge.
Servers are very polite and accomodating. I like how you can customize your ramen by filling out a checklist. Makes the experience more fun. I always come back here when I need some good ol' creamy ramen soup! It's one of the best places to get your ramen fix in the metro. ♥️
Best Ramen in Manila, so far.
My usual should be the King Butao.
Loaded with garlic.
Normal noodles.
Regular broth.
Pork Shoulder.
Think of the sound of guns fired during those old cowboy movies:
Butao!
Butao!
Butao!
Butao!
Butaooo!!
Ramen tasted really good and filling although choosing what to order was a little confusing at first, because they give you the power to dictate how your ramen would taste like, depending on hardness, spicyness, what kind of meat you’d like to put, that kind of stuff. Anyway, ate here and their ramen did not disappoint! If you’re looking for ramen around malls then I’d recommend this one! I also suggest that you’d order the original version.
Availed of the Birthday Promo, free Butao Ramen during your birth month. Must be accompanied by one full paying guest. Ramen was customized to my liking. They have a sign off sheet which you can tick off, from soup base to add ons and even level of spice. The noodles was firm and soup base was rich as requested. Ordered a side of Chicken Curry Karaage which was soft and flavor, rich curry Japanese curry flavor. Service was also top notch, fast, efficient and friendly. Located at the office building near Madrigal Avenue side of the ATC complex.
Ate here on a Sunday night with family and friends. The Black King and the Chicken Karaage are always a must eat for us. Plus the butao chips to go. 👍 The gyoza is just ok, have tried tastier ones somewhere else.
I have been wanting to try ramen nagi for a long time. Good thing they opened up here in the south. I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant as well as the service of the staff. For the food, i can say that their ramen is bursting with flavor. I had the green king and it was rich and flavorful.
Tip for first timers: It is recommended to choose the chef's recommendation. But if you want to be creative, then adjust it to your liking.
Butao king my ultimate favorite! Similar to the taste of Ichiran Ramen in Japan! I always order the shoulder since its thinner... compared to the belly which is thick. I want it spice (level 4) and lots of garlic and heavy special sauce! Yummmm!!!
We had an early dinner here on Christmas eve, and it was a most pleasant experience. First off, this is how you want restaurant staff to be ... courteous, pleasant, very attentive but not intrusive. The place is also excellent. They had a small space but definitely not cramped. You have just enough privacy from the next table.
The food is very good. I very much like how you can customize your ramen. I had the butao king, and it arrived hot and fresh, i really enjoyed it especially the pork shoulder in it. I didn't like the egg though. Chicken karage was nice, but very plain, and we also are not a fan of their spring rolls. But their ramen makes you forget all of these, they are excellent!
Broth was rich; noodles were firm; and the pork belly was cut thickly, meat lovers would def enjoy it! Not into the gyoza tho; would’ve been nicer if it had more meat than veggies.
Rich tasting ramen broth ever! Two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼
Their Akao is already level 5 (spicyness). I am expecting that I will not be able to eat due to the spicyness level but I was surprised that its tolerable. If you love super spicy foods better request to add more between level 6 - 10 of spicyness.
Yes, still has that same Nagi taste wherever the branch may be. Staff are very accommodating as how I have experienced in 2 other branches I have been. Serving is a lot and so we get the money’s worth. I generously share my portion. Comfort food. We shall be around.
My friends and I visited the ATC Corporate branch during the first week of their opening. Lucky because there were seats available and got to order right away. I tend to feel umay or hilo if the broth is too rich so I'm thankful they have this Omotenashi Sheet where I customized the ramen taste according to my preference. Already tried their Normal under Richness of Taste category before but it is still too strong for my taste buds so this time I selected Light. We also ordered their Gyoza and Pork Katsu Roll. Our ramen arrived in few minutes and enjoyed the food.
Space is a little bit crowded, small table that will limit you to buy a lot. Hehe
Broth is perfect!
Taste is perfect!
First time to try their black noodle and it is highly recommended! Add a little bit spice "level 1" and as you finish your bowl you will really feel the spicy thing. Added a little bit of surprise, good thing i just chose level 1.
Chose the chef recommendation, did not attempt to create my own ramen. And it is a perfect choice! Paired it with gyoza and shrimp aurora (i love it) with big prawns (meaty and with good taste)
Will definitely go back!
