Ramen Kuroda

We were looking for a ramen house since my wife is already craving for it, which has ultimately rubbed off on me too. One of my friends at work recommended Ramen Kuroda at the 3rd floor of Cybermall, which is where most of the restaurants are. If you’re not familiar with Eastwood City, coming from the Citibank/MDC/Mercury Drug entrance, just keep on going straight until you reach the first intersection with a traffic light. While on that intersection, the building to your immediate right should be the Cyber & Fashion mall or what I usually call just Cybermall.

After work, me and my workmates went out to eat at ramen kuroda. My boss being a ramen lover told me this place was a quck fix when you crave ramen but it wasn’t as good as his other faves. But we still ate at it since we craved ramen. Two things: 1.) he was right about it not being the best at ramen and 2.) it was really budget friendly. When we got there, the staff was really polite and attended to our needs right away. Really good customer service. The price is really friendly. Bruh 200+ for a bowl of ramen. Don’t get me wrong, the bowl is big. Flavor wise was where they lost me. I’ve been going around town trying out ramen spots. From little tokyo to kapitolyo to maginhawa. The broth was a bit “umay” and the chashu was really fat it made me a bit dizzy. But nonetheless a quicl fix when I don’t feel like making ramen at home and have a tight budget. Flavor wise 2/5, budget wise 5/5.

I personally always go to Ramen Kuroda - RCBC to get a simple ramen fix after work. (check out my reviews on that branch!) but for the sake of this review, I am commenting on the other items in their menu.Aa a context, my sister was in the metro for a training and she invited me for dinner at Ramen Kuroda. I insisted on trying out other Japanese restos worthy of her P1,000.00 budget but she insisted on Ramen Kuroda because of the variety of items she can order here.We got their teriyaki pork sushi, gyoza and ramens:1. The sushi was superb! But it wasn't rolled tightly so you can see the rice falling apart. I have no qualms though as the teriyaki sauce and japanese mayo was divine!2. Gyoza was so-so.3. My ramen is the buzzer beater.If you have followed me around, you would know my love for spicy food so I ordered their specially spicy baki ramen and BEWARE! This is not for weaklings.First higop palang besh. D ko na kinaya. After our dinner, nag aacid reflux na ako.So if you are a fighter, then I recommend you trying this out! They give extra spicy sauce kung kulang pa ang anghang sayo.As for me - NEVER AGAIN.--- Special commendations to the accomodating staff who deserves a tip and their better circulated place. Kung alam niyo lang an init sa RCBC Branch!Will I return again? Of course! I'll go back to the Aka ramens though.Originally posted at Captivated Child's Facebook page.

Ramen is distinctively Japanese, both in taste and sense. And though this oriental concoction originated from China and only introduced in Japan in the late 19th century, it was the artistic culinary style of Japanese chefs that made ramen known to the world. Ramen arguably is a savory oriental staple, however, since Japanese chefs reinvented this dish and enhanced its nature into a satisfying comfort food with luscious add-ons, its identity becomes thoroughly part of the Japanese cuisine. And has ever since moved on from being associated to a Chinese fare.

Delicious ramen with reasonable price. Service is quick and place is very nice though in a small Japanese-themed place. My sister and I really enjoyed our dine. We will definitely come back to try other food on the menu.

Another good place to visit if one is craving for ramen. Bowls come in two order options—one with regular two pork slices which usually costs P180, and another with option to add two additional slices usually at P240. Soup bases come in four variants and all are truly appetising. Got myself a fave which Is what I hit up on every visit. Gyoza plates are also very affordable and good. If one likes affordable, gloom-busting bowls of ramen without too much brouhaha, Kuroda is the key!

Went here in a group on our lunch break and was lucky to find a table that fits all of us during the lunchtime rush hour.An affordable menu with different lunch sets for the hungry office workers, or if you're like me you can go for a bowl of ramen to satisfy the craving. I got the kuro ramen for the extra kick of garlic, you also get half a flavoured tamago and a slice of charsu. At 180p a bowl, the ramen was satisfactory in taste but falls short in comparison to other places especially for all the key ingredients: broth, charsu, and egg. The thin noodles is their signature ingredient as Kuroda boasts that they are hand made and even offers a complimentary refill.

For P230 I got myself a bowl of ramen (Kuro) with 4 slices of meat. This is the best deal you can get from any legit ramen house in Manila. Broth was surprisingly good with a taste of garlic. The noodles were firm which can be ideal for slow eaters as it can stay longer without getting soggy. Me I finished my bowl in 5 minutes. If you are on a budget, you can get the less meat version for P180 only. My only complaint in this branch is that it is too small and crowded.

Food:Ramen is plain and simple. Love the small slab of pork, even the size of the noodles. Despite the affordability, the quality and serving sizes do not seem compromised. The only ramen place where I won't hesitate to eat all the types of ramen they serve.Service:Rewards program has a good incentive but a bit inefficient. Servers respond fast to customer's needs. They even tell you if a particular spot you want to sit in will be too cold from the AC.Ambience:Too cold and the tables are too close together. Needs a little bit more sprucing up.
