RAMEN INAGI | Perhaps the Best Ramen Bowl I ever had!

If there was one type of food I would like to eat before the end of the world, it would be Ramen! 😆 Yep, nothing else!

My love for Ramen even grew stronger when my friend brought me to one of the tastiest Ramen restaurants found in BGC or Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, Manila!

My excitement was evident upon seeing its Japanese signage and ornamental designs from the outside. The name of the restaurant stands out with its brightly lit letters spelled RAMEN NAGI.

As my friend waits for someone to cater to us, I took notice of the open kitchen where the chefs can be seen making different Ramen bowls for the customers! The noodles already looked so good. I wasn't expecting this unique setup. I would definitely seat close to the kitchen during my next visit.

The aesthetic is quite modern on the inside however one could still feel the Japanese vibes of the interior design. We chose a table near the wall where we had a 360 view of everything else. In the middle though was a long table where people can share a seat with other customers.

Another thing that took me by surprise is their Menu book! I could consider it a book I guess because it's hardbound, full of images and descriptions of the food they cater! It was amazing for me because I'm a visual person! I always would like to see photos beforehand of the food I'm going to get. And Ramen Nagi's menu just provided that need. Just look at these...

The first page tells the history of the restaurant's owner and chef. The second page tells you how to Eat the Ramen and the following pages show a variety of Ramen dishes you can choose from.

Even the photos of the Ramen on the menu already look so delicious! They also serve other dishes like chicken, salad, gyoza, and pork tonkatsu. They even have kiddie meals for the young ones.

Another unique thing about this restaurant is you get to customize your own Ramen bowl! What I mean about this is you get to choose how the flavor and the thickness of the noodles. For example, for the richness of taste, the options were Light, Normal, and Rich. Then for the special sauce, the options were None, Light, Normal, Heavy, and Extra Heavy. And the list goes on.

Here is my order sheet:

So I had Green King Ramen (Php495 or $9) with a rich taste, heavy sauce, and a normal amount of garlic, with pork belly and cabbage vegetable with 1 spicy or I think this was 1 serving of their Butao homemade fire sauce. My noodles were thick and I had 1 Nori on the side. For the drinks, I had Teaco Mixed Berries (Php99 or $1.8).

My friend chose the Limited King with a rich taste, heavy sauce, and a heavy amount of garlic, pork shoulder, and green onions. She had 3 spicy for the Butao Homemade fire sauce. I guess she loves spicy so much. She also chose thin, soft noodles with cabbage as her side dish. She got the Teaco Honey Lemon for her drink.

Her food arrived first and it was just so mouthwatering with the orange-colored soup and the shrimp toppings in the middle. I did notice that the noodles were thin compared to mine. She let me have a taste of the soup and I was so impressed with how it turned out. It had this light but rich taste and the spiciness was just the right amount where I could still enjoy it.

A part of me wanted to order the Ramen dish as her but I'm allergic to seafood. 😅

A few minutes later on, my Green King Ramen bowl arrived and I was just excited to devour it as soon as the server laid it in front of me.

The soup was made from tonkatsu broth which gave it a deep and rich flavor. I also appreciated the "lavish" amount of grated parmesan cheese that was topped on the noodles. The pork belly and chasu were also a bonus that completed the set. I also loved how my noodles were thick.

And as what their menu book said on how to eat the Ramen bowl, I first lifted the bowl and slurp the soup. I tasted the first layer. Then I dig in deep into the bottom of the bowl and took a bite of the noodles and the flavor was amplified in my mouth. This was the second layer. And lastly, I mixed everything in my dish and continued slurping the soup and eating the noodles that were already filled with their special "fire sauce". This was the third layer.

After that, I couldn't stop myself from eating mouthfuls of noodles. 😂 I couldn't stop telling my friend too how grateful I was that she brought me here. Although I was already so full midway, I had to finish everything to give respect to the people who made my delicious Ramen bowl. It was such a foodgasm I would never forget.

I never thought I would still be able to find an affordable restaurant that serves delicious Ramen in Manila during my short visit there! I am coming back to have a go with their other Ramen flavors.

If you are curious where Ramen Inagi is and want to try it out too, they are located at the 2nd Level, One Bonifacio High Street Mall in BGC.
