Ramen Nagi - SM PAMPANGA — Restaurant in Pampanga

To call this ramen is to call salt bland. Every spoonful of soup would probably give you a kidney stone. Anyone can make ramen salty, but not everyone can make it delicious. Ironically, the best food at Ramen Nagi isn't even the ramen, it's everything else.

If you think the place is packed because the food is good, it's not. Putting the painfully salty ramen aside, I ordered an extra ramen egg for my soup, and it only came after 20 minutes. Ano to, hinintay muna mangitlog ang manok?

The place is packed with people who either are too afraid to try different ramen places, or liars who get entranced by the Japanese atmosphere and claim that this is the best ramen they've tasted in their lives. Makimura has two branches in Pampanga, and Ippudo and Santouka are an hour-long trip from Pampanga. Truly Plato's Allegory...

Probably one of my fave go to ramen restaurants. I just wish there’s more variety of flavors to choose from. All of the ramen on the menu is made with tonkotsu broth and just modified a little bit to give a different taste. It would’ve been better to add some shoyu or shiyo flavors to contrast the thick and heavy flavor of tonkotsu. Also I thought the marinated eggs/tamago should be a standard with every ramen but mine wasn’t served any. You actually have to check it on the checklist to have it there which is a bummer since I thought it’d be like an extra serving if you tick the box for the egg. Aside from my minor complaint, there’s really nothing I could say to improve what I ordered. 10/10 would eat...

Authentic japanese restaurant, showing that japanese vibe and you can taste their authenticity. You can also see their kitchen as they’re preparing your meal.

Good looking place, but it’s tight and not recommended for groups more than 4. More on the pricey side but the taste is good and size of the serving is plenty.

There are a lot of options for ramen, and you can choose the chef’s recommendation if you are not sure what to order. There is also a kiddie meal available.

On another note, collectively, they sometimes greet the customers who enter or thank the customers who are about to leave.
