As I have said, I am not an expert on Japanese ramen so I just based what I say on what my taste tastes. So finally after the much hyped launch of Ramen Nagi Manila, we tasted what some considered as the ohmygosh the best ramen on the planet.
We went at Robinsons Magnolia on a rainy Tuesday night perfect for a piping hot ramen.
As you have guessed, there are a few customers at that time but still the place is half full.
Hubby ordered the classic Butao Ramen (P390), the pork king of Ramen Nagi and I ordered the Black King (P410).
They gave us a sheet where we can customize our ramen. From the richness of taste, special sauce, garlic, pork (either shoulder or belly), vegetable to their special fire sauce, firmness of noodles. You can also add extra tamago, pork, seaweed, noodles, green onion, cabbage, kikurage for a fee of course.
Since it's our first time, we wanted to just taste the classic ramen without the garnishes.
We both liked the taste. My husband liked everything except the noodles. He likes the flat Kanzhu type so this kind of noodle is just not for him.
I like the Black King, but it has the 'umay' factor. Although I finished the noodles, I wasn't able to finish the soup. The squid ink ramen is so rich and flavourful for me. It has a strong umami flavor that I had to drink a lot of free cold tea every sip.
Overall, we had a good experience. The ambiance is I would say very Japanese. The staff are very attentive and accommodating.
I would definitely try it again. They say the Green King is also good. I might try it next time.
