Ryu Ramen @ Tomas Morato, Quezon City

Wow, It’s been more than a week I haven’t posted a food review, but I have one now. I found myself stepping inside this japanese restaurant at SM Jazz Mall in Bel-air Makati city. My first glimpse on their menu I thought the price was scary because I assumed that the portion may not be suited for its price. BUT I WAS WRONG. THE NOODLES WERE IN HUGE BOWLS!! And I mean HUGE BOWLS! And the noodles stays firm even after being in a bowl of HOT CURRY SOUP for more than 30 minutes..

Ok, here’s what I am writing this for..The food ranking.

1# CLASSIC TANTANMEN (MILD & SPICY VERSIONS)

This is the best seller and I have no doubt it is indeed the best in their menu, the slices of tender pork that sucked all the flavors of curry and other spices beautifully! Yes, I used the word “beautiful,” just imagine how the pork slice bends naturally when you grip it with your chopsticks and the curry sauce slipping off. Isn’t that a beautiful sight? Then you take a small bite to feel its rich flavor? I am very particular with the texture of the meat and how it absorbs the flavor, I certainly love this tantanmen. We don’t stop here, the best part is how they make it spicier if you want it to be ear-tickling hot! They don’t just give you squeezers of hot condiments or pepper shakers, they will prepare it for you with all the raw ingredients to cook it accordingly to your preferred level of HEAT.

 2# KARAAGE TANTANMEN

Ohhh my, ohh my! It’s definitely a compatibility of all the ingredients joined together, one thing I have to highlight is how amazing the chicken can retain its own flavor in spite of being merged with other ingredients, especially with curry. The fusion of shiitake mushrooms, vegetables and curry are just well-suited together then topped with hefty chicken pieces. Each ingredient wasn’t dominated by the strong flavor of the curry soup, rather compliments each other which I find very impressive.

 3# KATSU CHEESE CURRY

The gravy’s uncompromising savory curry is gentle to the tongue and the serving size is BIG – good for 2 to 3 persons! What makes this meal kiddie-friendly besides the mild curry is also its cheese filling! Haha! This is actually a fav of so many diners at Ryu Ramen & Curry restaurant.

4# EBI TANTANMEN

The seaweed + the shrimps + vegetables + curry = a tasty combination of elemental flavors! Which describes well the Japanese culinary principles and good-natured culture . Every ingredient I tasted and recognized in this bowl of delicious Japanese delicacy are fresh. The seaweed stayed firm in spite of being

5# YAKI BUTA TANTANMEN

Marinated in Japanese miso, the penetrating flavor of fermented soybeans definitely made this spare ribs special, it’s my first time trying a Japanese miso based soup, even though it isn’t my favorite I do like its distinct unique flavor. It’s a great food adventure and If I didn’t know that’s how a Japanese miso taste like I would think the spare ribs were soaked in liquor lol.  Undressing the spare rib’s meat off is effortless, I just used my chopsticks and it easily slid off the bone…

I compliment this Japanese restaurant for 5 things besides the menu : #1 for the brewed iced tea and complimentary rice tea they serve, #2 everything they prepare are natural and the curries they use are all from Japan. #3 you can see how they prepare the food because their kitchen has a wide glass window #4 great customer service, very attentive staff #5 I love the interior of the restaurant, from the walls, ceiling, tables & chairs – all are with warm colors. The DRAGON painting on one of the walls is also eye-catchy.

 Curious? Go There and Taste the ART OF TANTANMEN AND CURRY!

Ryu Ramen and Curry.

I've actually heard it from a very close friend who's also a blogger and I was so excited to try it when I heard it from her. I love Japanese food, specially Curries. So, one day, we were bored and hungry we decided to pass by and see or taste what the fuss is all about in this place. And then I knew...

Tantanmen- Spicy miso base broth with ground pork, soft boiled egg, negi, and garlic oil with 2 slices of chasyu. As I've heard, this was their house specialty so I ought to try it and it didn't fail the rumors that I've heard. It was so good, every flavor was in balance, the mild sspiciness of the broth gave life to this dish. The noodles has a firm and smooth feel into it as you put it in your mouth. 

Miso Butter Corn Ramen-Miso broth with sauteed vegetables, ground pork, special butter. My friend's personal favorite but my least liked dish. It taste so regular for me. But for my friend, as she described it was light and the taste of the miso plus the butter goes really well together. 

Beef Tendon Curry-Their curry rice served with soft beef tendons. This was my favorite, I ate most of it and shared only a few bites to my friends. Spicy yet it has a very subtle taste. The beef were indeed very tender and the sauce was enough for me. I swear I shared most of the beef with my friends and I just mixed the curry sauce with the rice and I was satisfied.

Item

Ebi Tempura-Prawns that have been battered and deep fried.

Huge prawns! Very tasty and flavorful prawns! I didn't know what their batter was made of but it definitely made the tempura very unique. Crunchy exterior but the prawns were cooked just right, soft and tender.

I was actually surprised when I heard that Ryu Ramen and Curry is owned by celebrity couple Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez. Why? I don't know, I was just surprised. LELS. 

RYU RAMEN is located at the Upper Ground Floor of MJB Building, 220 Tomas Morato Ave. corner Dr. Lazcano St., Quezon City.
