After attending the PLDT Gabay Guro Grand Gathering event at the SM MOA Arena last week, we decided to have dinner at Ramen Nagi in SM Mall of Asia. Ramen is all the craze these days but this is just the 2nd one I’ve been to so far. (The first one was Hanamaruken Ramen in Trinoma.) peanutbutter♥ loves ramen and I told him I wanted to try out all the ramen specialty retaurants here in Manila but I’m waiting until he comes home.
Now that he’s here, I think this is where the ramen fun starts.
We ordered for their Gyoza (₱190) which arrived sizzling hot on a bed of bean sprouts. It is juicy, well-seasoned, and wrapped in a soft dough that is a bit chewy to the bite. Even with five pieces per serving, I think it’s a bit pricey for gyoza but if you have extra moolah to spare include it in your order because it makes for a great accompaniment to your ramen.
peanutbutter♥ ordered the Red King (Akao) (₱410) which is the ultimate in savory spiciness according to Ramen Nagi. It is level 5 spicy which I think only peanutbutter♥ can handle. I mean, I do like spicy food at times but not too much or else my head will explode and I’ll breathe fire through my mouth.
I tried a spoonful of the broth and man, oh, man! It is hooooottttt!!! Ykaie even braved a teeny tiny bit of the soup which was immediately followed by a glass of cold water.
Ykaie and I shared an order of Original King (Butao) (₱390) that is made with rich tonkotsu pork broth. Ykaie and I both loved that rich soup that’s almost sauce-like in consistency. The serving is quite big and can be shared by one adult and a child we just had to order….
…. Extra Noodles (₱70)!!
I wasn’t able to take photos of the condiments and the store because there was a lot of people at the time. I think it was because of the PLDT Gabay Guro event coupled with the mall sale. The table where we were seated at the time was too tight as well cause we were sharing with a couple. I had a long day and I was a bit tired. The ramen did soothe me and of course, it was nice to think about the beginning of our ramen fun as a family.
Looking forward to more ramen adventures with these two ramen monsters.

Never mind the noodles—-and I am a BIG noodle lover—-I am enchanted with the picture. Totally adorable! of both the ‘kids’.

I’m not into ramen, soup lang niyan gusto ko so sayang if I will buy and the price is not cheap. Kailangan ko ng may kashare. 🙂
Ako din, I love the soup more than the noodles.
Everything seems pretty tasty. I’d love to try the gyoza.

I love Ramen and as of the moment I’m in the lookout for the best Ramen in the metro. Maybe when we go to MOA I can check out this resto and try their dishes.
Thanks April. I’m sure you’ll like it.
Beautiful pictures! That even the extra noodles look so appetizing! Haha
I heard a lot of good reviews about this ramen place but I haven’t tried. Now I am craving! 🙂
Thanks Ruth!
Been reading so much about Ramen, I’m now curious to try, haha. And I love spicy food, I just might give Akao a try.:)
Oh do give it a try. I’m sure you’ll love it.
Ack! We were in MOA yesterday looking for a place to eat, and we couldn’t decide where to go so we came back to Alabang instead. Sayaaaaaang. Wish I had seen your post earlier!
Sayang nga! DI bale, you can try it next time.
I’m a ramen lover but still haven’t tried ramenagi yet.. Glad you enjoyed the food! Thanks for sharing your experience.
You’re welcome. Can you recommend a good ramen place?
We were there a couple of weeks ago and yes, we love the soup more than the noodles. Hubby said to post it on the blog but I’ve been too lazy. And your pictures are a lot nicer. Haha.
I love Ramen. And the Original King I personally think will be much better tastewise.
yum!!! ramen is one of my fave jap food! i will try this ramen house soon! 🙂
I haven’t really tried eating at a Ramen resto ever. I don’t think I’m a fan of it but my husband loves it. Maybe we’ll check it out one of these days. 🙂
I love Ramen! But the hubby doesn’t. 🙁 Although I was able to forced him once and I guess he enjoyed so sana may next time. I would love to try Ramen Nagi. 🙂
Oh my whole family loves ramen. But nowadays, my husband and I decided to cut our ramen intake due to health reasons.
