Got to finally try the Wild Cheese Curry Ramen right before Enhanced Community Quarantine started!

Been wanting to try this limited king ever since I saw it featured last year, so I was really happy I got to try it!

Plus, the staff were already practicing social distancing and had protective gear when we dined.

What we got:
Wild Cheese Curry King - spicier than expected, so the cheese really helped a lot. Tasted like a creamy spicy curry. The different cheeses used brought some depth and layers of flavors to dish.
Butao King - as usual, this was consistent as always. Shobe doesn't like eating anything spicy so she was glad they were able to make it non spicy.

All in all I had a great time dining at Ramen Nagi, special points for taking into consideration the covid19 pandemic and wearing protective gear, disinfecting, and seating customers away from each group

Best place to have ramen! I tried others but nothing comes close to Ramen Nagi, not even Ippudo. I also love their bean sprouts!

It was my second time trying ramen. The first one was rom ramen kuroda. I have to admit that this ramen was a bit pricy but it assured me that the quality of the butao ramen was great. The texture of the noodles blended well with the flavors of the sauce. Moreover, you could adjust the flavoring to match your taste by picking at a piece of paper. Overall, it was a good experience. I'd love to try other flavors too.

My goodness, where can I start? Some people call this one off but for me, this is the ultimate ramen that matches my soul. I don’t call myself an expert or a ramen connoisseur but I’ve already been to countless ramen shops already and I can only think of a handful shops that offer me the best - and honestly, Ramen Nagi is one of them.

What I love is you have the power to choose how you would want your ramen. Ramen shops don’t give you the authority to customize the flavor, but Nagi is an exemption.

Ramen bowls tend to make you full just by eating half of the bowl and some people say Nagi has this ‘umay’ feeling after a few slurps. I must say it’s true, but it’s the best umay feeling for me!

I’ve visited numerous Nagi branches but I’ve decided to review this Magnolia branch because this is one of the few locations that offers a discount on Eatigo! Love it. :)

It was a nice experience to taste their ramen! It was good and there are other foods that are delicious as well! Although their broth is somewhat oily. Either way, it waa good still!

This is my first time to eat ramen nagi at this branch. I ordered butao as usual. Taste is consistent with other branches. Nice ambiance and service. Keep it up! :)

Thank you for the extra piece of pork belly. I would have rated this as 5 but i don't know why it doesn't taste as good as from the other branches during my visit 🤔🤔

The No. 1 Ramen place for me. I loooooovvveeeeeee their ramen i swear it's the best. I've been to other ramen places but this one really is my go-to and top favourite among them. I've been to most of their branches too and it's always a delightful experience.

I am no professional foodie nor chef but I know how to cook, so rating this would be based on how I cook for other and not myself.
I have been a fan of Ramen Nagi for sometime and the it has been consistent on almost all branches. From the customization sheet that they give you and the taste of the meat that you order is truly great. Consistency is key I guess on how they prepare the food and so far it hadn't failed me yet as go to comfort food.

Actually its not my first time to eat here, I just realize wala pako review dito sa resto na to.I ordered original butao with pork katsu roll, and it didnt fail me. Yung ramen, good for two na sya then marami yung noodles so mabubusog ka talaga plus my veggie pa, for the katsu roll okay na okay kasi tama blend nung sauce sa ibabaw tapos my cheese pa. For the location, nasa gilid na sya ng mall kaya my open area sila. For the price, its a win win situation na! 👌 For the staff, very attentive and fast service.

I ordered the Red King this time to try it. It's as spicy as I expected but be sure to mox it well before eating. All the spiciness is at the bottom. I also tried the boiled egg but just likr every branch of Ramen Nagi, it has a strange taste instead of the expected sweet umami flavor. It also is overcooked to a point that it's almost hard boiled.

I love their Black King! My favorite! I love the rich flavor of the broth. Certainly, my go to ramen!

Also, two thumbs up to the staff. They’re so frieny and attentive to the needs of the customers.

Ramen here is consistently good. I order the original ramen and request for extra fresh garlic
It also helps that at times, they are on discount under Eatigo which gives good value

Original Butao champions my ramen cravings and thanks to Eatigo, i get to savor it for half the price. I find the meat portion smaller than it used to be. But no complaints since I'm in it for the hard noodles and flavorful soup.
My boyfriend ordered the Black King and I found it extremely overwhelming.
The pork katsu roll had big fat trimmings inside and I barely tasted the ham nor the cheese. I suggest to stick with chicken karaage if you want something other than your ramen.
Service is good in this outlet. Love their digital feedback system in QR codes. So techy!

Who does not love Ramen at Ramen Nagi! Most especially their Black ink ramen. Here in Magnolia ever since, the waiting line never changes if you wanna eat here because the quality of their food is still the same thats why people love it.

Ambiance is okay. Kinda small but they have outside tables too yun nga lang even if its well ventilated if mainit its really mainit.

The service are also okay. Staff is hospitable and always alert whenever you need them.

Ramen ... Ramen ... Ramen ...
The whole day i was searching for a great authentic Ramen to satisfy my cravings.

One of my friend told me of this place .. and there we went.

I opened the door and lively greetings by all the staff welcomed us in great enthusiastic tempo.

So in my mind WOW .. that was a good start ..
one of the crew guided us to our table.. which I really appreciate.... a lot.

Menu choices were all about ramen ...
And the way to order was something really new to me. You need to write down your order on their order slip " which is a very good idea on how to introduce all their offerings".

So after browsing on their menu we decided to order Original King BUTAO ( which has their signature tonkotsu PORK broth ) nice... And their Red King ( with their Spicy Miso Based Soup )

King Butao was so delicate .. you can taste that rich pork that has this rich creaminess, and the pork was so soft and tasty. (my fave. )

Red king has this strong full of spice taste that will wake your whole body ..
We were slurping our way to heaven Ramen on that time ....

And after all is done .... a big smiles on our face with a full happy tummy.

To sum the whole experience up, its was a deliciously amazing experience.

Kudos to team Ramen Nagi (Magnolia Robinsons Branch of a great job, taking care of your customers). Keep up the good work.

I’ve been to the outlet in Mall of Asia and I was craving for ramen. I found myself in Robinsons Magnolia and the mall has a Ramen nagi. I ordered the black squid ramen with lots of garlic, pork belly, heavy soup, extra cabbage and tomago. I was in heaven!
The ramen though is a bit on the pricey side but worth every spoonful.

Whenever I'm craving for ramen, Ramen Nagi is one of the ramen joints that quickly comes to mind. I'm sure plenty of ramen aficionados think the same. We dined in their Robinsons Magnolia branch last Sunday and ordered a bowl of Black King (PhP 410) and Pork Katsu Roll (PhP 295).

We get a different flavor of their ramen every time we visit so we won't get tired of the tastes. The squid ink ramen features a salty profile with an umami boost. It can have the potential to look creepy since it's black and you can have marks of black ink on your teeth, but boy it's delicious! The broth was rich, creamy, and hearty, with the ramen noodles hard just the way we liked it. We ordered extra tamago cut into half. It was perfectly soft boiled and the yolk was custard-like with firm texture.

We also truly enjoyed the Pork Katsu Roll. Topped with cheese, the pork katsu was moist and tender. It's portioned in bite-size pieces so easy and quick to finish. So satisfying!

Lazy Worm

It was not crowded when we arrived. Lucky us. So we were seated in no time. We ordered Original King with extra chashu, and an order of tempura. For us, there's just a little difference, in terms of the taste (the bowl of noodles,) from their flagship store in Shinjuku. Or maybe we were just so hungry this time.

The tempura is also very good. But you can tell there is a difference, compared to the tempura of their flagship store. But just the tenderness and crispiness. But it doesnt matter. All in all, its still very delicious.

Price is considered high. But still worth it.

Ramen Connoisseur

The ramen portions are big and will make you full. Worth the price. Love the house tea but the cups they give you are too small. Love also the 6 spice karage but only some branches have it. Good Ramen experience but the broth can do better. The spicy sauce they put taste amazing, the best tasting ramen if you love spicy ramen.

My 3rd Ramen Nagi visit and this Ramen joint still makes me awe at what they serve me. This time I ordered their limited edition king which is Bicol Express King. This bowl has an exceptional fusion of coconut milk and Nagi's traditional broth with of course the spices. It also includes pork chopped into 3 bite size which is very tender. This limited does not dissapoint and will make you crave for more! The other order is their Green King which is very flavorful with the herbs and spices highlight the broth. A must try for starters.

Marianne In Manila

Tried the Midorio ramen (the Green King) for the first time. After having Tsuta Ramen a few days ago, I wanted to compare broth and noodle styles.

I was a bit concerned about the kind of grated parmesan cheese they were going to use, sprinkled atop the milky broth flavoured with pesto oil, but I needn't have. I enjoyed the herby, green flavour, and the extra texture and umami provided by the cheese alongside the thin, Canton-style noodles Ramen Nagi likes to serve.

A nice chunk of pork, close to the rib cage, as opposed to thin slices we're all accustomed to, and tender, even slices of cloud/wood ear fungus, complement the dish well. The broth halfway down the bowl started to taste salty, so I stopped eating. That said, a pretty good ramen experience.

Just a note to the restaurant to turn up (or turn on) the airconditioning to augment the cool air from their Iwata machines. Considering the average spend per customer, it doesn't seem like a big ask. The staff is attentive and friendly.

Little Sweet Taster

July 2017- It was our first time to eat at Ramen Nagi so we just chose whatever is the chef's recommendation. We ordered Midorio and Butao Tonkotsu ramen to give it a try. The serving is big and worth the price. Our food was served hot so it was perfect for a rainy evening dinner.

The staffs were all friendly and attentive so we didn't encounter any issue on how they served our food.

This resto is available at Eatigo so we got to try their ramen with 30% discount!

Delightful Appetite

One of my favorite ramen places in Manila hands down. I don’t get too creative with my ramen, so I stick with the original butao and I rely on the chef’s recommendation every time. In my opinion, it’s always perfect the way the chef chooses to prepare the ramen.

Ramen Nagi’s karaage comes in 4 flavors now. Original, spicy, matcha and curry. The server recommended their spicy karaage because it was their best seller. The chicken was moist, tender and had a nice crisp coating on the outside, which was sprinkled with some togarashi, I think for that heat.

The spicy karrage was P50 more than the original karaage. Next time I would just order the original karrage and sprinkle the togarashi on the chicken myself. It saves me P50.

Service was excellent. I was seated immediately. Someone promptly took my order the moment I was ready. My food was served in less than 15mins. My bill came in a matter of seconds after I asked for it. Servers were all courteous, greeting and bidding customers goodbye in Japanese.

Fried And Prejudice

Sunday means time with the family, and family time means nonstop eating! 😂 Dinner was a hearty fare of Gyoza and Butao Ramen from Ramen Nagi after an afternoon of shopping in RobMag. 😍 What I love most about the ramen is how you can customize it to your liking (rich flavor, normal noodle thickness, pork shoulder and lots and lots of garlic in mine with 1/2 level of spiciness for some heat 🌶). And the gyoza that accompanies it is a lovely mix of crispy and meaty. Add the sauce to it for a spicy and sour flavor profile that just makes it oh so addicting. ❤️

Ramen Nagi never fails to satisfy. I always choose the chef’s recommendation and it is always a bowl of goodness. We frequent other ramen restaurants around the area but we always come back to the thickness and flavor of their broth. Brings back a lot of Japan memories.

Service here is very quick and menu is easy to choose from given there are only a few options. However, you also can customize your ramen. Their noodles seem to be homemade. Id recommend it to others.

Ambience
The restaurant had a lot of seats but the branch was very full. We had to pass around 20-30 minutes. Waiting times are usually worth it at any branch. Plenty of seats are also available outside. Bag storage is available under the seats.

Food
Butao King FTW once again! Extra noodles or kaedama was definitely necessary for such goodness! The broth was very flavorful with thinly cut slices of meat (shoulder) and perfectly extra hard noodles. Gyoza was very good but, considering the number of pieces, I found it expensive. The toge or bean sprouts just didn't work for me.

Service
Among branches, it's as good as always! It was our first time at this branch and service time was quick. The staff also threw the occasional smile, particularly during the ordering.

You can customize the ramen the way you want it. Mine turned out yummy, friendly staff and fast service. One of the best ramen that i have tried ☺

Food Hunt Wednesdays

I've been frequenting Ramen Nagi for a couple of years now particularly this branch and I think what separates it from all the other ramen houses is that they give you an option to let you customize your ramen as to how you want it to be or you can have their chef's recommendation if you're not so sure of what you want and you're trying a certain ramen dish for the first time.

My usual order (my fav) has always been their Red King. But this time, as per my friend's recommendation, I ordered their Black King. I liked how both have its own bold, distinct flavors. The broth was on the creamy side, and the meat ball was as flavorful as always. I had pork shoulder in mine and had another pork belly on the side which was a real bang for the buck! The pork belly was SO tender and juicy, and the fat didn't have that umay feeling. I customized mine because I prefer my ramen a little spicy but you can always have their chef's reco if you're a little hesitant. 😊

Service was good, and the place doesn't get cramped up!!

Surprised that they have a new product in the form of Nagi Chips. Their chips take on the flavor of your favorite Ramen Nagi ramen. Take your pick from the four kings.

I was able to try their butao and akao nagi chips. The butao chips, derived from their original tonkotsu ramen, was way too salty for me. I liked the spiciness of the akao chips in contrast. The flavor was indeed similar to the ramen. Chips were crunchy and fresh-- production date and expiration on the back. They come in a resealable container-- if you can stop yourself from finishing them. Nice to try, ramen lover or not...

Favorite ramen place because of its flavorful broth! Though during our latest visit, servers were slow to respond to customers from getting a menu, ordering and asking for a bill. There were really a lot people then but there were still seats outside. Maybe they were short in their usual number. We booked through eatigo for a discount and we were happy that the staff was well aware of it already no need to explain and prove something. We also appreciate tge staff letting us change tables because we were feeling cold at our first spot. Cant wait to go back and have more ramen!!

Ramen nagi is easily one of the best ramen places for me in manila. This time i got red king, gyoza, and chicken karaage. My mother got original butao. Ramen here tastes so rich. My red king had level 8 spiciness and it was still tolerable. It was spicy enough to satisfy me but still tolerable. I loved it. Karaage was nicely cooked and juicy but i still don’t have much love for the karaage. The whole experience was good though.

Food: One of my favorite ramen places in the city. Customizable ramen – noodle firmness, choice of pork cut, amount of garlic, richness of broth, spice level and so on! They give you this easy to understand order sheet to customize your ramen. I love the rich, flavorful broth and how tender the pork is. I also like their gyoza and karaage.

Price : May appear expensive at first but for the taste and quality, I’m glad to pay for their ramen.

Service: Fast. You don’t have to wait that long for your noodles.

Place: Japanese themed, maximized spaces with lots of tables – makes the place feel a bit crowded though.

Repeat: But of course!

Hey guys, thinking of where to spend your next birthday celebration? Craving for a Japanese cuisine for a change? You may want to try Ramen Nagi to satisfy your cravings for ramen noodles.

Here’s a brief background of a Japanese restaurant.

Background of Ramen Nagi

This Japanese restaurant offers a gourmet version of ramen noodles that is hailed as the best in Tokyo. Ramen Nagi has been awarded as the top spot in the National Ramen of the Year Competitions for the last two years (2011 and 2012). Hong Kong also has its franchise of this restaurant which is Butao, named after its popular signature ramen in which Filipinos line up for hours just go get a taste.

Ramen Nagi finally opened in Manila at the 5th floor of SM Aura Premier where its franchise is owned by Plains & Prints couple founders Roxanne and Erickson Farillas together with Michael James Chua, Carissa Coscolluela, Enti Coscolluela and Avi Siy-Chua.

As every Filipino foodie’s taste for ramen matures, one would prefer more rich and bolder flavors compared to that of a lighter variety. Once you get to taste the richer gourmet version of Ramen Nagi, there’s no going back a light and lesser quality ramen.

What’s best about this restaurant is that it’s designed as a modern ramen shop with different infographics and illustrations and their mascot is a caricature of Ramen Master Ikuta Satoshi. They have comfortable leather seats enough to make their guests feel at home and at ease.

Also, guests can customize their ramen bowl or the chef’s recommendation. You can also customize the richness of taste (light, normal, rich) , special sauce (none, light, normal, heavy, extra heavy), garlic (none, light, normal, heavy, extra heavy), pork (none, pork shoulder or pork belly), vegetable (none, green onion or cabbage), butao (none, 1 as standard ramen, 2 for double spicy and so on) and if you want to make it extra hard. You may also choose to add extras if you prefer to do so.

Lastly, guests write their name below their order.

What They Serve

Ramen Nagi has their four standard ramen: Butao King, Black King (with garlic and squid ink), Red King (spicy) , Green King (with basil and cheese), plus a limited ramen which rotates through their other ramen flavors such as the Ebi King (shrimp).

Here’s what I and my family ordered yesterday at Ramen Nagi (Robinson’s Magnolia branch):

Chicken Karaage (Php 250) and Pork Katsu Roll (Php 295)

Their chicken karaage is a Japanese fried chicken that’s perfectly marinated in a special sauce. It is deep fried in a special breading and served with a dip of mayo mustard. Chicken karaage is available in other flavors such as: Curry – Php 270, Matcha – Php 290 and 7 Spice – Php 300.

Ramen Nagi’s Pork Katsu Roll is a thinly sliced pork belly rolled with cheese and served with Nagi’s original sauce.

Red King/Akao (Php 410)

This ramen noodle is an ultimate in savory spiciness. Try if you dare.

Nagi Chips (Php 95)

Nagi Chips are made of special dough, fried to perfection and flavored in special Japanese seasoning. They are available in different flavors.

Try visiting any of Ramen Nagi’s branches (SM Aura Premier, Greenbelt 3, SM Mall of Asia, SM City North Edsa, UP Town Center, Robinson’s Magnolia, Robinson’s Place Manila, The Podium, Robinson’s Galleria, Ayala Malls the 30th, Trinoma Mall, Salcedo Village and Ninoy Aquino Airport Area.)

Happy food tripping, everyone!

Went here by 3:30 pm so hindi madami yung tao.

They forgot to put the pork belly to my ramen. That's so off for me because it should be automatic. And since konti nga ang tao that means konti ang orders. Kaya hindi ko matanggap! 😂

I asked for a tea then ang sabi wait lang. I waited pero walang dumating.

The good thing is I enjoyed my red king! ❤ Level of spiciness is 5 but for my taste I want moooore!

Their ramen is awesome! I also got to make my own ramen by choosing which meat, hardness of noodles, richness of soup, level of spicyness, and addition of tamago. I super recommend their ramen! It's noodles are awesome. I guess it's handmade, not the instant noodles type ones. I also got to try their gyoza! It's so tasty and delicious! 🙌

Ambiance: 5/5
The place screams Japan! From the music they played (theme songs from animes!) up to the chairs, tables, and decorations! JAPAN for the win! 🙌

Service: 5/5
The people there are friendly! They even approached us if the food is fine and if we would like to add anything else. Their uniforms are also so Japan! The chefs are also smiley people. When we entered the resto, they all greeted us. And when we left, they also shouted, "Arigato gosaimas!" 🙌

Would definitely come back here! Recommended restaurant! So sulit! 😊

They have limited seats but the staff are efficient and service are good. Food arrives on our table earlier than expected. They also never forget to greet and thank their patrons for coming to their store. Food is consistent and delicious. I highly recommend their Butao King for first timers. The only downside is, they're quite difficult to find as they are outside the mall, at the back near the garden. But overall, I'd say I'd be coming back here again.

I got to finally try Ramen Nagi last night. I ordered their Kuroo, the ink based ramen. I liked how the flavors mixed with the squid ink. Since I was a newbie there, i opted to go with regular spiciness but heavier flavor and more of their secret sauce. It was so flavorful, I can't stop eating the ramen. I also had to order another bowl of noodles to enjoy it even more! I tried a taste of Butao (girlfriend's fave) and it had a much lighter, sweeter flavor compared to the Black King. I'll try a bowl next visit! Looking forward to it 🤤

They have shared tables inside the restaurant. But if you want more privacy, you could sit al fresco to have the table all to yourselves

I don't think I'll ever stop craving for Ramen Nagi. Their Butao Ramen is a must-try (goes well with their tamago too!) and it has a rich taste that will have you craving no matter how long it's been. I've tried ramen from different restos, and I swear, nothing comes close to my obsession with Ramen Nagi! Their price might be pricey for some (PHP 400-500 for one ramen), but the serving size is big (can be for two people) and its taste certainly make up for it!

Black King is my favorite!!! Got into this whole ramen craze quite late already. I actually went to japan in 2015 and didnt have ramen at all. Strange, i know. My friend kept raving about ramen nagi and so last year, i gave it a try and got hooked! It's now a recurrent craving!! I usually go for the chef's recommendation with extra hard noodles. I dont have them put any spice because i find that it alters the taste. They have chili powder on the condiments tray and that's what i put for spice instead.

When craving for noodles, Ramen Nagi is really one of our go to places.
It is always fun to order food here especially since you get to customize your own ramen. You can turn up the heat by adjusting the level of spiciness of your meal and of course you can have it be mild if you are not a fan of spicy foods.
It can be good for sharing if you are not a big eater, but for those who want to order solo, go ahead! It's a very heavy and filling meal that would sustain you for the rest of the day.

Ramen nagi is your to go to place if you want to dine an authentic yet affordable Ramen. I've been to different Japanese restaurants serving ramen but it is only in Ramen Nagi where I have tasted a rich, thick, and delicious soup base. I am not an avid fan of spicy food so I always order the original king or Butao. Every time the food server brings me my bowl of ramen my mouth begins to water. I definitely recommend this place for people who would love to try an authentic ramen in a beautiful setting.

This is by far the best ramen Aleph and I have tasted. It was so flavourful and you'd know the ingredients are'nt just ordinary flavors. Kinda pricey yep but worth it (Php410).I recommend getting 1 ramen and 1 side dish every visit (for couples)

Their chasu rice was great but the serving is too small tho. I gues Japanese people would really prefer quality over quantity.
Gyoza was made wd fresh ingredients too.

Red king is the best for me. Next is the black king, then butao. Havent tried the green king but maybe next time. We suggested already for them to serve half bowls, so u can get to taste one of each for a lesser price.

Now this is how authentic ramen tastes like! 😋Best ever! Kinda expensive but super worth it. You'd want to come back everyday because of how scrumptious it is.

Although some people may complain that their ramen soup is too oily, I say that they serve one of the best ramens in the Philippines. I also recommend the Red King, although spicy, it is quite satisfying after you eat.

Try the Original Butao, then try the Red King. The Red King is better than the original in my opinion. Once you try the Red King, it makes the Original butao taste very bland and boring.

Very friendliest Japanese/Ramen restaurant I've ever tried. Staff are very knowledgeable about the product knowledge, answered all my questions since its my first time with them. My favorite was the Gyoza, thick and a bit large with full of flavor. What I don't like was.. We ate around 4:30pm and staff are seated outside the restaurant to standby, sleep, and using their phones. No one open our door upon arrival and no one welcomed us while these staff are chilled outside the restaurant.

I hope restaurant could reach out the staff because the food is very delicious! And the service was good.

Rich and tasty ramen that is accessible to people in the New Manila and Cubao area? Yes please!

This wasn't the first time that I ate here, we usually only eat when there's an event or something like that... Since yesterday was my sister's first communion (yipee!) They wanted to celebrate it somewhere.

So I asked my sister earlier this morning, "What kind of food are you craving for?"

"Ramen." Then ding! Tiny lightbulb appears, I knew just the place.

Ramen Nagi is a restaurant that originated in Japan, they have four main kings and occasionally have special ramen which change from time to time.

We ordered the Butao king. What I liked about their method of ordering was that they would give you this sheet of paper and you could customize your meal.

The service didn't take too long, when they served the Ramen it was a bit too hot but acceptable.

The Ramen was rich in flavor, especially the soup. It's something that would fill you until dinner or so. Well that was my case.

I loved how the noodles were perfectly cooked and the serving size was just right. What I didn't like was that for it's price, you still needed to add for the tamago and other things.

The pork belly was kind of tough too. And it wasn't as many compared to other Ramen bars. But, I do believe that it is quality.

Will I come back here? Definitely!

Very unlikely for my first post to be about ramen. This is my 2nd time at Ramen Nagi, Robinsons Magnolia, I wasn't a fan of "ramen" to begin with, but I've found a new love for it. Had the Butao King twice already and Black King. Everything was superb!!! W o r t h every penny 🍜💸🍜💸

One of the best go to place for ramen. Original Butao is a must try! Make sure to come in an empty stomach, there's enough for two servings each.

One of the best and affordable japanese restaurant to get great ramen. The ambiance is great. The staffs are very accomodating. Service is very good and fast.

The ramen really tastes great. The option to customize my ramen helps the customer to choose what would the ramen will taste like. Although the gyoza is kinda expensive but it's very delicious, so I got what I paid for.

The Nagi Icecream was simple yet tasty and feels badass with the 2 kinds of liquior in it. Hahaha

I just wish they offer take-out for the ramen. So I may have the chance to enjoy it at home.

This branch isnt as bright or clean as the others ive been to, but it does have the friendliest staff. Our server was very patient and helpful with my 'over customized' ramen order. He even suggested options to help me get what i want without paying for the extra changes.

Their ramen is consistently good - the quality and taste are the same at most branches. They use the freshest ingredients and produce the best results. Definitely still one of my favourite ramen places in qc.

Of the many ramen places I've eaten in the metro, Ramen Nagi has the best quality of noodles (for me anyway). I tried the Red King, with spicy level 7 (standard is 5, I added 2 more) and it was hot hot HOT 😅🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 and I absolutely loved it!!!

Refrain from the Chef's Recommendation if you can't handle spicy food. I've tried the original and green king butao. They're both delicious, just make sure you check the right boxes according to your preference.

Went to a few branches and I must say that the quality of the food and the service has not changed whichever branch we've gone to!

My husband North and I have made it our goal to try every kind of ramen here, and I just have one more ramen to go! (He's tried them all, but during our many visits, I may... Have... Picked the original butao... More than once. Teeheehee!)

Now, we'll need to try all the sides! My foodie's goal in life is to be able to go to a restaurant, look at the menu, then tell the waiter:
I'll have EVERYTHING on the menu.
Everything, Miss?
YES. Everything! (Except the drinks)

And I really think I can do it here! Hahahahaha the menu's simple enough :) but even though there's only 4 main ramens to choose from, it's still something you come back to yanno? I don't get tired of the rich flavors each ramen brings. Plus this place is perfect when it's rainy and the weather's kinda cool. A must-try if there's one in your area, so please go!

Oh, and I love their... Barikata? The bean sprouts? I eat it by itself and always ask for more like 5x - will I get in trouble? Please don't tell.

I have tried the four broths of ramen nagi and I couldn't compare which is the best as each has a distinct flavor and aroma. However, since I like spicy food, I always indicate 8/10 spiciness level regardless if it's plain, black, green, or red. I was also able to try the spicy mapo tofu ramen which was the special for a particular month. Every bowl is flavorful, but really heavy and a little on the greasy side.

Im a Ramen guy and out of all the Ramen Bars Ive been to, Ramenagi stands out the most.

I love it that you get to customize your Ramen, it allows me to get creative with it down to the thickness of the noodles to the level of spiciness. That is the best part. The broth is always so rich and the noodles are cooked to your liking. The ambiance is good and the waiters are attentive.

To all Ramen lovers, you deserve Ramen from this place.

When lists include Ramen Nagi as one of the best ramen in Metro Manila, then you better believe it. From the first sip of their flavorful soup, it feels like you've never tasted anything like it before. Their meat is soft, chewy, tender and full of flavor. And the noodles? It is very satisfying and filling that you will leave satisfied.

You can also order sides like Curry Spring Rolls, a twist that is welcome to the taste buds.

All in all, Ramen Nagi will never disappoint, as they will only serve the best ramen.

Similar to my impression with the other Ramen Nagi outlets, the taste is consistently great. The place in Magnolia looks the sane as the other branches.

One of our favorite Ramen joint franchise from Japan! For first timers who prefer to stay on the safe side try their Butao King! Tonkotsu Ramen that is very flavorful with a poignant aroma of garlic, oil and pork bones cooked for a very long time. For the adventurous type go for the Black King or ReD King! The Black king is made of squid ink whil the Red King is cooked with a lot of heat. The basic heat level for the red king is 5! The Green King has pesto and parmesan cheese to it. Don't forget to order a side of egg to go with your choice of Ramen. To compliment your order of Ramen, gyoza or chicken Karaage is highly recommended. Occasionally the restaurant offers limited edition Ramen such as the most recent Tan Tan Black King Ramen or the Truffle Ramen. Just a reminder, the restaurant has a no take out policy so as to preserve the quality of ramen being served.

The food was superb. The servings were huge pero naubos pa rin. Hindi nakakasawa yung sabaw ng ramen. Theirs is probably the best ramen i have tasted so far.

Best red king bowl I've ever had (even if I have it at least twice a month). This time stuck to preset level 5 instead of my usual (+8) level 13! Still with tons of uncrushed garlic! That's how I add bite to it whenever I don't go extreme with the hotness level..

When my uncle said he'll bring us here, I did not hesitate because I've been wanting to try Ramen Nagi for months now. For the first timer, they had to orient me on how to order. We were given menus and colored pencils so we were the ones who'll encircle and customize our orders on how rich we want it, the way the noodles will be cooked, spicy level, pork shoulder or pork belly, add-ons, etc. My uncle said their servings were good enough for two people so I shared mine with my sister. We got the Green King + 2 orders of extra tamago/soft boiled eggs. The Green King was literally green in color because of the pesto on it. Since we chose 'rich' when in comes to the richness of taste, the pesto was really strong for both your nose and tastebuds. The noodles were also cooked right and as expected so that's a plus point. We chose pork belly to go with our ramen and it was delicious! I did not have a hard time biting it unlike how I experience it in our ramen restaurants. We also ordered Chicken Karaage but there was nothing special. Likely because Ramen Nagi's specialty are really ramen bowls.

If you're wearing white on your visit, ask for a bib so that it wouldn't mess up your top.

I really love the ramen here in Ramen Nagi compare to other ramen resto that I have tasted! I have not yet tried all the ramen they offer as I usually order Butao. Butao is rich in flavor and mild spicy just so right for my taste.
