Hanamaruken Ramen Estancia — Restaurant in Pasig

Food: 3/5 It's acceptable enough. The ramen tastes quite good, and the food serving portions are a bit generous. However, there are other options in the area that can make better ramen. Service: 2/5 Although the staff was pleasant, we did have trouble paying for the senior citizen discount here. What happened was we availed of their payday duo promo, which was 2 bowls of ramen at a discounted price. Staff told us it was separate from the senior discount, and we were fine with that since my parents were getting something else. However, when the bill came, we were surprised that the items my parents ate were not discounted, and we asked staff to clarify why the bill was like that. They said they couldn't discount it since we had the promo, but we were told it would be split from the rest of the bill.

Even the cartilege you typically can't eat when cooked normally in other dishes feels like gelatin and just melts in my mouth along...

There’s 15-20 minute waiting time from ordering your food to serving, but they provide free fish/prawn cracker bar chow while you wait. I ordered pot belly ramen with add-on gyoza. The star of the ramen is the melt-in-your-mouth pork belly. The broth and noods were just OK. The gyoza can be improved. It was as if it was broiled rather than steamed and finished with slurry (which standard cooking for gyoza). The grilled salmon aburi sushi was good. I snorted the whole thing in no time. Service was OK. They set the expectations beforehand, so I was not...
