Hokkaido Ramen Santouka — Restaurant in Quezon City

I usually bring my furbabies with me when I go to UP town Center so I choose pet friendly restaurants that have a nice, comfortable dining areas for pet parents. The detached Santouka branch in this mall has an enclosed outside dining space with a ceiling fan which I looked cool and inviting. And I thought, the weather is not so warm, it would be nice to outside the air-conditioned malls of UPtown Center. The ceiling fan freaked out my furbaby and bit so there was barking. I had to introduce the moving fan to him and he eventually calmed down. The person who attended to us was very nice. I ordered from the Santouka set menu and got a small ramen and pork cutlet. It was quite a surprise when my order arrived. It had the tonkatsu, rice, a bowl of vegetables and the ramen. The ramen bowl was bigger than I expected. I decided to just bring home the tonkatsu and tackle the ramen this time. It was flavorful and the noodles were chewy. I tasted the pork, it was fried well and the meat was still tender. I also got a scoop of matcha ice cream. This set meal was a good deal.

Overall though, we still enjoyed the experience. I recommend the Shio ramen. The evenness of the flavors allows for each element to complement one another optimally which one...

Various sets / foods to choose from. Portions are generous enough to satisfy one's cravings. Ramen is tasty ( not salty nor heavy ) Tonkatsu is juicy, delicious and doesn't look like fried from an overused oil. Clean and spacious. Tables and chairs are well-arranged ( don't look cramped ). Great music in the background (jazz) that complements the interior (cozy). I didn't feel the need to rush eating unlike in other Japanese restaurants nearby. Finally, the staff.... I always feel impressed by those who remain assistive and polite despite the number of customers. Definitely,...
