Short Restaurant Review: Ramen Nagi Manila (SM Mall Of Asia)




A non-leap year calendar has 365 days and what does it mean? Simply, we have ample time to enjoy life! We are free to make our day a remarkable story. We have a choice to always choose happiness and positivity. Thus, no matter what, let's keep smiling and laughing, okay? Hello, Super Folks! How's your lunch? Well, if you haven't eaten yet, let me warn you, this new blog post may trigger your hunger. Alright, are you ready?



Konnichiwa! Welcome to Japan! No, I'm just kidding. I mean, welcome to the pride of Japan, Ramen Nagi! Have you heard of this restaurant before? If your answer is no, that's totally fine because I'm here, SuperMarkyMacky, your thoughtful blogger and I'm so ready to share, short but tasty review about it. You're welcome!



I don't know how many times I've said it but what I'm sure is, like many of us, I still believe that the easiest way to experience a culture is through its food. One nice example is when we go to a supermarket, nowadays, we can simply find imported products from South Korea like kimchi and soju. Even from Indonesia, the instant mie goreng? Try it, that's what you call, comfort food. Oops! Let me not forget the popular Starbucks and McDonald's, most of us know that they are both originally from the US of A and to be honest, even though I'm only here in my country, the Philippines, their cheeseburger and frappuccino always make me imagine New York City, the cultural capital of the world. "So, this is America. Awesome! They also love fast food, meat and coffee."


Butao- 390 PHP(roughly 7.65 USD)

Thank God, we have Ramen Nagi in Manila, I can affordably picture cities in Japan like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. I mean, no airplane ride, just a taxi ride from our house to SM Mall of Asia. It was last year when I went there to meet my college blockmates slash lifetime friends. What happened was so casual, like a combination of mini reunion because we rarely see each other and simple dinner of people who were craving for authentic Japanese food. It was my first time to eat in that restaurant, on the other hand, it wasn't my first ramen experience. No doubt, in Metro Manila, it's not hard to be a ramen lover because aside from Korean restaurants, ramen houses are like everywhere, you can find them from cheapest to most expensive and from genuine to fusion. I can say, when it comes to food, Filipinos today are more open to try something new than before. Thanks to thousands of reviews and mouthwatering pictures on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram.


Pork Katsu Roll- 295 PHP(roughly 5.79 USD)

"A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view". If I only had the guts to sing that song from Aladdin out loud when we were there, I'd do it, maybe next time? The resto was jam-packed with hungry people, everyone was so excited to eat, it was like fiesta! Ramen Nagi is well-favored from outside to inside, you can't go wrong. It's truly a tiny piece of Japan and yes, you need to try it. Like me, there are two things that you will surely love when you eat there. First, those cute and cool Noren hanging over the dining tables. According to Wikipedia, they are traditional Japanese fabric dividers hung between rooms, on walls, in doorways, or in windows. They usually have one or more vertical slits cut from the bottom to nearly the top of the fabric, allowing for easier passage or viewing. Exterior noren are traditionally used by shops and restaurants as a means of protection from sun, wind, dust and for displaying a shop's name or logo. Names are often Japanese characters, especially Kanji. Second, the Omotenashi sheet! It's not an ordinary menu brochure but it's your power to customize your ramen bowl. You are what you eat! So, if you're a huge fan of garlic and chili, never ever forget to encircle extra heavy and 6-10 spicy. However, if you don't have a choice, just choose chef recommendation. Itadakimasu!


Green King- 410 PHP(roughly 8 USD)

Apart from those, indeed the ultimate winners for me were Butao, Green King and Pork Katsu Roll. They were all savory and reasonable. Tell you, one ramen bowl can be shared among 2-3 people. I really can't wait to go back in Ramen Nagi, we had a wonderful mini reunion there. Are you free this weekend? Perfect! It's cuddle weather, let's order Black King and Red King. Game? Well, if you're still unsure, that's okay though. See you on my next post. Super thanks for reading, Super Folks!

Mountains of the Philippines 2026: Mt. Pinatubo (Hike for a Cause: Walking with Purpose)

Hola a todos! It’s been super duper rainy these past few days—like, every five minutes! I hope you’re staying dry and safe, especially if you’re here in the Philippines. Please take extra care, everyone! And guess what? It’s August again, which means it’s my birth month! Yehey! How will I celebrate my birthday this year? Honestly, I don’t really know yet. I have a few little things I’d love to do with mi familia, but nothing too grand. I think I just want to keep it simple, just like the previous years. God has been so good to me, always. I’m incredibly grateful for all the blessings He continues to give me, for the people He has placed in my life, and for the opportunity to be blessed so I can also be a blessing to others. Here’s to another year of life, love, lessons, and countless reasons to be grateful. Welcome back to another new blog post! Another day, another travel story to share. This time, let’s talk about hiking. Let me ask you—have you ever climbed a mountai...

Paradise Philippines 2025: Boracay (Familiar Shores, New Memories)

¡Hola, amigos y amigas! How are you today? Isang maulan na umaga! It's a multilingual day today as I'm kicking off this new blog with a mix of Spanish, English, and Tagalog. I thought it would be a fun way to greet everyone! Well, I've been feeling a little under the weather for about a week now. It's flu season, and a strong typhoon has just passed through the country, leaving us with rain that seems to fall 24/7. Kaya naman , it's been the perfect weather to stay indoors, get some much-needed rest, and gather my thoughts for today's blog. Boracay Keyhole Who here loves Olivia Rodrigo ? If you do, welcome to the club! Have you listened to her new songs—" Stupid Song ," " The Cure ," and " Maggots for Brains "? I've had them on repeat since last month, and I still haven't gotten tired of them. The lyrics, the artistry, the production—oh my, everything is just wow! I especially love how the songs blend sounds reminiscent of...

Casa Manila Intramuros: A Short Walk To The Trace Of The Colonial Past

How well do you know your country? Do you know well your history, cultures and traditions? Definitely not and that's really understandable. We wake up everyday and it's a human nature to think about what to eat or unfixed issue at work first. It's vague to say that we are living in this world where those things we've learned when we where in school are not useful or relevant in our everyday lives. Because time is important we no longer need to make it more complex and use trigonometry when we buy gas at the pump or at the grocery store. So, if I could answer that question how well I know my country, the Philippines? Let say from 10 the highest, it's a 5. Although I really love my country, from hardworking Filipinos to top-notch beaches and also my favorite subject before was History, I just forget it because these things are not useful on my daily chores. Sadly, we tend to just pass by these important details which are the roots of who we are now. How about you my...
