Restaurant Review: Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen SM Aura Taguig



For: Zomato
Restaurant Review
Restaurant: Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen
Location: Powerplant Mall Rockwell Makati City. Level P1
Date: January 25, 2014
Even though there was a big hype about ramen in 2013, my husband and I never got into that.  Just to see what all the fuss was about we decided to look for a ramen place. 
We chanced upon Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen in Powerplant Mall in Makati. It was 4pm and the place was empty.  The ramen noodles cost about P380 for a bowl.
We ordered YUZU-TAMA Tonkotsu P 380, Gyoza P230, and Yaki Tonkotsu P280. The YUZU ramen turned out to be spicy and eating a bowl of it will surely clear your nose if you currently have a cold.  The soup tastes well rounded with many other flavors aside from its’ spiciness. It was indicated in the menu that this ramen has one of the spices from the Kyushu region of Japan.  The ramen also comes with pork, nori, egg, and spring onions.  The gyoza was just ok.  For me, gyoza tastes the same in all the Japanese restaurants.  No big difference there. The Yaki Tonkotsu was a big plate of stir-fried ramen noodles mixed with pork and vegetables such as cabbage, carrot and monggo sprouts. When you order the waiter asks how you like your noodles cooked.  You can choose from hard, normal or soft.
They give a really big portion of noodles, so value for money is good.  Also, we were still full by 8pm even though we ate around 4-5pm.
Overall, the cost for 2 customers is just under P900. Service was quick, but not sure how fast you would get your order during rush hour.
