Mendokoro Ramenba

Best ramen I've ever tasted. A bit on the pricey side but worth it. Their tantanmen was special.

Always loved having our ramen fix here. I recommend trying their Tsukemen, Super Chashu Ramen and Gyoza.

Worth the long wait but could have been better if i was allowed to take out the extra soup/sauce which was left over. I didn't want for it to go to waste so i tried consuming it without the noodles, but it was just too salty if eaten alone.

My favorite ramen joint in Metro Manila.

They now have al fresco dining. But the tables are quite close to each other.

Amazing shoyu, super rich and tasty. I feel that my tastebuds are dancing with every sip of the broth. Noodles are outstanding as well.

If you want to visit this restaurant, better come solo to be seated asap. In my case, I went there with my 6 friends and waited for 1hr and 15mins.

The place is just small and a lil bit hot. Maybe 15 people can accomodate inside or 20? And there are extra chairs outside.

Ramen was great, the soup at first was so good but getting overwhelming and salty in the mid part (I didn’t finish the soup because it was getting too salty for me).

Noodles were like spaghetti pasta noodles but thicker (not like noodles in Nagi etc.) — i still like it.

By the way I ordered super cashu. If you wanna try it, better not. LOL! The meat was so huge and you’ll get full and the saltiness of the soup will mix to the cashu, I ended up pressing the cashu with my chop sticks so the soup will come out of the cashu.

For the gyoza, better order the 5 pcs because it was so good and meaty!

Super Cashu costs ₱610
Gyoza for 3 pcs costs ₱140
Gyoza for 5 pcs costs ₱240? (Not so sure)

Waiters were nice and accomodating

I love the ramen. I love how they cook the food in front of the customers. Also, health protocols are strictly followed.

I miss going to Mendokoro branch in Salcedo Village, Makati City. The space is limited for hungry office staff diners especially during lunchtime (pre-covid) way back in 2019 but hope the store is still surviving now during the Covid pandemic because of restrictions on restaurants.

The broth was very rich and the pork for both Super Chashu and Buta Kakuni are thick and flavorful. Both are tender and tasty, the fat melts in your mouth. The noodles for Buta Kakuni were thicker. We've ordered the 5-piece gyoza but since there's two of us dinning in and there were separators in between chairs, they were proactive enough to split them 3: 2. We left the restaurant with our tummies full and our pallets satisfied.

My favorite Mendokoro outlet because of their branch special (not available in other branches) - the Buta Kakuni.

If you do not like spicy food - you won't like this because it is basically chili-flavored ramen. The broth is ultra-rich, spicy, yes, but not one that burns endlessly. There is a shock factor at first taste but your tongue will acclimatize soon enough that you'd be enjoying this flavorful dish while sweating a bucket.

The bean sprouts are fantastic (how can bean sprouts ever be fantastic?) - their bland flavor and crunchy texture complements well with the spicy, ultra-rich broth. The meat that accompanies is itself richly flavorful but in a different way (burnt, tender, and fatty) and i would dare say is the star of the show.

So, Mendokoro + Buta Kakuni = an experience you would want to have again and again!

We went here around 4: 30-ish pm and got a seat immediately.staffs are accomodating and they are following protocols.i guess they have less than 10 seats available inside.for the ramen, so far in my own opinion this will be my #1 choice of ramen.will definitely go back (ﾉヮ) ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

This ramen shop is amazing! From the food to the service, there's nothing that I can complain about. I ordered one of their off-the-menu items, the Super Chashu and it did not disappoint. The meat was thich yet exceptionally tender and flavourful. Their gyoza was amazing too!

You only have two things to worry about if you do decide to go here:

1. Expect a looong line. So you're gonna have to come early or bring snacks with you while you're waiting. If the line is long, you know you're getting your money's worth.
2. Since we're still in the middle of a pandemic, contacts with the servers are being limited as well. So order what you want right off the bat because there's a service charge for every additional order.

Back here again after more than a year due to the pandemic. Ordered the Seafood Ramen, so so good with that creamy and salty seafood broth. Not quite as filling as I have remembered last time that I've ordered but anyway maybe because it was for late lunch. Gyoza is alright nothing special though, but you don't eat here for the gyozas so there's that.

I usually go to MR on off-peak hours before 11: 30 am and after 1: 30 pm on weekdays. Place should be practically empty.

Best Ramen in Makati. Though there's always a long line so better queue up and pay then ask how long it will take, timer it then hangout at the nearby bars til timer is up and get back

First time visiting the branch post-pandemic and glad to see they had ample safety precautions in place. I still ate my ramen faster than I normally would though. Gyoza is still the best and the perfect partner to their equally delicious ramen!

Best ramen in the Philippines that I've tried so far. The super chasu was creamy and savory. The only improvement I'd like is for thinner noodles.

The place is small, with less than 20 seats. Hopefully they can find a bigger place

The ramen really lives up to the hype. The broth is simply to die for and the meat is super tender. #yuuuummmmmm

Try to be one of the first 21 people. It's so worth it. ;)

Looove their broth. I just don't love the line and the pressure that i have to finish my bowl fast. But their food. Oh, so good!

One of the best ramen bars around. I've already exhausted their secret menu and I've never been disappointed so far. The wait is always worth it. Be prepared for long queues on any given day.

Expect a long waiting time for the Makati branch (at least 1 hour), especially if you're with a group. The wait is worth it though, arguably the best ramen place in the country. Their Gyoza is the best I've tasted, too.

I am not a ramen lover.but this plqce changed me. All other ramen are pathetic after you tried this place.
