Nothing titillates my palate more than the thought of relishing and savoring Japanese food. Yes I love everything Japanese. Been in love since my first taste of sushi and sashimi and our first visit to the Land of the Rising Sun 4 years ago.
Yesterday, we were privileged to have been invited to try Mitsuyado Shukoda Ramen at the Top of the Glo in Glorietta.
Japan Town is fast becoming a highly recommended place of mine to friends and family who crave Japanese cuisine.
Did you know.... ?
If the first name sounds familiar, it is because it is related to that tsukemen place in Jupiter. It is especially memorable to the family because it was where we first tried dipping our noodles in cheese! Yum!
Lest be misconstrued though, let us qualify that Mitsuyado Shokudo Ramen is different from the Mitsuyado Sei Men resto that we know.
CONCEPT
Although sister restaurant with Seimen, Shokudo Ramen is more casual with its cafeteria-like vibe reminiscent of noodle houses in Japan.
Self-service style, you go to the counter to order your ramen which can be standard or custom and then move forward to choose from a plethora of sides which can be anything from karaage, pork cutlet, gyoza, mushroom kakiage to name a few.
AMBIANCE
Spacious compared to those noodle places in the Land of the Rising Sun, the words - tidy, orderly, pristine cum industrial and hip comes to mind.
Corrugated roof with plastered colored magazines for wall paired with broken white glossy mosaic tiles
Warm wood on the counter against the stainless steel of the kitchen
Small barrel drums and wooden slat chairs , wooden tables. Huge concrete slab of a glossy black-tiled table akin to kitchen islands
The Food
Bespoke Ramen? Yes you can create your own ramen. Select from various toppings ie charsiu, sukiyaki, ajitama, boneless pork chop and 10-12 other toppings. This number can increase in the coming months
Or you can just choose from the restaurant's Ramen selection
Red Spicy Ramen P180
Donburi Options
Like to try options other than ramen? You can with Mitsuyado Ramen Shokudo's Donburi bowls.
Ebi Tempura Don P220
You can also select their Pork Cutlet Ricebowl Don P200, Chicken Karaage Don P200, Boneless Porkchop Don P200
Overall, I found it amazing how affordable Mitsuyado Ramen Shukoda's ramen, sides and donburi bowls are.
Order their Charsiu Ramen P280 if you are at a loss as to which ramen you would like to try. I chose it because it has the most charsiu among the other ramen variants and I love charsiu. Broth was delicious and the noodles perfectly hard which I liked.
I paired it with Karaage and Ebi Tempura Don P220 just so I can have a lot of photos for my content. In reality, the Charsiu Ramen is more than enough for me. Ebi and karaage though were really good too.
I can not wait to bring the piggery and the handsome hubby here to try the other ramen or perhaps even make my own
Check them out and let me know how it turns out for you.
See you there!
