Ramyeon Bar and Restaurant — Restaurant in Quezon City

Great selection of noodles and toppings. The staff are actually helpful and nice especially when it's your first time. The experience itself was unique but wouldn't try it again due to the price and some irks.

There is a fixed cooking fee (₱40) which they say is also for the upkeep of their golden utensils. It seems high assuming you'll use less than 1 kWh of energy per cooking session which costs only around ₱12. I'm not sure what's different in maintaining those golden utensils and maybe they could've used aluminum as a cheaper alternative but I guess that's part of their aesthetic.

You'll need to buy drinks as the free water is not viable. They use the smallest paper cup I've seen and that is super wasteful (aside from all the plastic wrappers). Good thing that I brought my own water bottle and that they do not prohibit bringing your own. Idk how much the water bottles cost but they are encouraging you to get one because of their impractical free drinking water setup. I know this is a business tactic but this is a major dealbreaker for me every time a restaurant doesn't have free access to a basic necessity.

The sachet drinks cost ₱59 and +₱15 for every cup of ice which I don't understand why it is not included with the drink and is cheaper.

They have a ClayGo policy which is nice but with all those fees I feel like they're passing more work on us. You also need to get toppings to be full so the cost will definitely add up.

I still rated it 3 stars since it was a nice and unique experience but personally...

A place where you visit once and never come back.

Supeeeer long waiting hours. We waited from 7pm to 9pm. Although it's good that they had chairs outside.

The price you pay for is really just the experience. But when you think about it, it's supeeer not worth it. We paid 350 pesos per person for instant noodles and couple of toppings. Other people paid more. But again, it's the experience that you're paying for.

The staff were really nice and accomodating. However we encountered an issue with our table. That really RUINED our experience. We were told to seat in one of the two tables in the second floor. When we went up, there was already someone sitting there. They said that when they were calling us we weren't there so they gave the seat to another group. BUT, we were already inside (we were called by another ate), hence, us getting that specific table number. We already started eating when they approached us again to change seats since another group was supposed to sit there. Imagine moving from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor when you already started eating. We were so hungry and upset that we just ate quietly. We didn't take pictures anymore after that. Nakakawalang gana. Hope they do better next time. They were really nice naman kasi. Maybe...

The place looks great and hip! The wall of ramyeon was very eye-catching.

There was also a staff who guided us thru all the steps. They were very helpful when they learned that it was our first time. They even helped us choose the ramyeon we would like. I was very satisfied with the one i got!

Atmosphere was...lively, you could say. There were still a lot of people despite it being way into the night. Anyway they're open until 1am.

Seats and tables looked cool, but were super uncomfy. I don't know, it might be really designed that way so that customers would leave right away...but still it makes the whole experience uncomfortable. The chairs were too high. And no foot rest. Tables were wobbly, not properly fixed to the barrel. Small things like that but makes an impact in the experience.

Food was good, they have a nice selection of toppings and add ons. But be careful on adding too many because it might jack up the price. Hahah. Also watch when they punch the prices on the cash register, they might make a mistake like for example, when we paid they mistakenly input the pork samgypsal as a BEEF samgyupsal. It's an honest mistake since they looked a lot alike but we weren't even asked. Good thing we were able to catch the mistake. So...
