Quality patrol by Japanese, Japanese food in the Philippines - Filipino Japanese Food Honest Review of Japanese food in the Philippines Marudori Shio Paitan
Awwww this is so sweet. Him speaking Filipino so politely. Hope you always enjoy your time in the country. I'd like to try that japanese approved ramen now.
It's refreshing to see a japanese person liking stuff in the Philippines. I'm half Japanese and my dad often complains about everything here so I always thought there's nothing Japanese people will like here 😅😅😅
hahahhahahha I feel your dad!!! its just different taste by localizing so if I don't think Japanese food or if they don't charge Japan price,, its tasty lol maybe you dad too, in the philippines, we Japanese prefer Filipino food more I guess! hahaha
This is probably during the ber"" season in Manila which is whole different experience. I know you're recommendations are on point. The food looks good and if its Jun approved, then it must be good.
Another fura-fura video from you Jun! It's been a while since I last went to Rockwell, maybe before the pandemic? A lot has changed so thank you for showing us what's new in the other part of the city..... P.s. I live in Quezon city that's why Rockwell is a bit of a travel for me
I agree, Philippine ramen is creamy. But I have tried one non-creamy ramen place, and its called Ramen Shokudo. Though my all-time favorite Ramen is still Curry Ramen from Surugin Ramen.
It's creamy or nothing. If I'm gonna spend that much for a bowl of ramen, it has to be something creamy. Because those simple ramens like shoyo and shio don't do the price justice.
The ramen I fell in love with in Japan was Kyushu Jangara in Shibuya, I miss the mentaiko and pickled gingers jars which isn't a common here in the Philippines I'm very curious about Menya Ippondo, they're located in Little Tokyo in Makati They're offering Jiro style ramen
ohhhh seems you know a lot about Japan!! great choice hahaha Thanks for the comment : ) Ohhhhhhhh really???? Jiro style ramen in Makati?? sounds I have to try that!! Arigatoo infoo
@@watanabejun Marudori and Mendokoro are both owned and operated by the same group. You should ask for their "secret menu," and they will offer ramen that is not on the main menu 🙂
When I go to Japan, I don't crave for ramen. Ramen in the Philippines is plenty and the popular ones in Japan has a queue that turns me off. Instead, I go to Indian restaurants. They are quite rare in the Philippines.
Ohhhhhh You know Japan hahahah same here same here unless very unique Ramen or late night time hahah Indian restaurant in Japan is super good I love it! I feel you!
Hi Jun! Lots of Japanese professionals near my previous work ate mostly ate a place called "Little Tokyo", a small alley-like area in Makati with lots of Japanese restos with different specialties, it is frequented by Japanese nationals for ramen, sashimi, sushi etc...Hope you could try it there sometime...*Disclosure: Haven't tried it myself but a lot of our former Japanese clients attest to it. =)
That made me want to try Yardstick! I tried Harlan + Holden Coffee, and I love it, it's just a little too sweet though. One of my favorites is Toby's Estate. Maybe you can try that too, if you haven't yet. Enjoy!
I cook ramen at home with all authentic JAPANESE INGREDIENTS bought in Osaka and Tokyo ❗️My ramen tastes like the original from Japan 🇯🇵 ✅❗️ Domo arigato gozai mas ❗️🥙🥙🍜🍜🍝🍝Happy Eating 🥣 glad you like Filipino 🇵🇭food 😍‼️
Have you tried Mendokoro Ramenba at Mitsukoshi? Been there twice and I thought the soup was really creamy and overpowering they're not Japanese. Give me your thoughts if you already tried.
nooooo I havent try Mendokoro yeeet! I have to try!! but most of ramen here is creamy I feel haha but yeah I will have to try Mendokoro since many people told me to try! you have japanese tongue!!!
Try next time, Ramen 🍜 “Chinese style “ at Quezon City MA MON LUK❗️✅ Chicken 🐔/Beef MAMI❗️ The soup 🥣🍜🍝is tasty 👅 and watery NOT creamy 🇵🇭🇵🇭👍‼️ARIGATO🙏‼️
depends on what kind ramen you like (west Japan pork, east pork, shoyu, salt, fish, chicken,,,,), but for me Tokyo iekei East side Tonkotsu (Tokyo taste). Rasuta ramen at yoyogi Tokyo is my favorite : )
just discovered your channel and new subscriber. I love the honest opinions made me want to try your recommendations XD I am curious though, ippudo and mendokoro are 2 of my favorite ramen restaurants here. do they taste different from japanese ramen?
Yay! Thank youu! thanks for finding and welcome to this channel!!! Actually all of Ramen here is taste different! basically trying to make it same but I guess for some ingredients they can't I guess! that's why I was looking for something not "JAPANESE TASTE" but "TASTE I LIKE" : )
@@IAmRose218 ohhh yeaaas truee! now philippines trend is pork pork pork but chicken-based ramen should be more popular!! and Yakitori was also good here!
I love ramen too and everything japanese LOL😂 Well, I guess most Filipinos like japanese foods and products. I wonder why anything japanese are pricey expensive though?
@@ck-bs2ms Yeeess I used to go Makati! some stores are very expensive, but if massproduct its cheap!! I like Daruma its all big amount but cheaper than anywhere!
I absolutely cannot stand milk in Ramen! If an establishment adds dairy, they should call it "sopas" and not put the word ramen anywhere. There are so many Japanese restaurants in the country but the overwhelming majority do not know Japanese cooking. The cuisine is not one that cooks are familiar with eating, so they simply do not understand the flavors. This applies to most dishes and not only ramen. People don't seem to mind however, as they don't lack for customers.
Japanese food can be expensive, but the expense must be justified by both the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the cook. My experience is that most restaurants take advantage of Japanese pricing and thrive because customers believe they are getting both of the above, but in truth they are getting neither.

Mendokoro yeees, I will try Shoyu next time : ) Arigatooo! Marudori is similer so you might like it : )
Filipinos are quite noisy in the restaurants ne? The one I miss most when I was living in Japan was the respect for personal space
hahahaha even sound is part of personal space in Japan lol like in the night very quiet unlike here hahah
I like your honest and fair review! Your recommendations sound great too, I hope to try them the next time I pass by Rockwell 🙂↕️

So far, I like Ippudo ramen in the Philippines the most. What is the difference between Ippudo in the Philippines and Japan?
hahahha same here actually!I have ippudo video too : ) arigatooo
If you like Marudori, same company is behind Mendokoro and Yushoken

Go to Mendokoro Ramenba in Makati. That's the real number 1.
You're not telling that to a Japanese, right?
Marudori is also from same company as Mendoroko Ramenba
@studiolau Yeahhh I knew that after I went to Mendokoro hahaha I hope more variety of Ramen in the philippinessss!!
@spiderliliez hahahha for only japanese who didnt go back to Japan long time hahah

Dapat lang. Mahal kinakainan at pinupuntahan nya
@dormamo6917
hahahaha means Japanese things in Manila getting high standard : )
@axizcorp hahahha arigatoo!!! love food!! and I have to be on diet too
I absolutely cannot stand milk in Ramen! If an establishment adds dairy, they should call it "sopas" and not put the word ramen anywhere. There are so many Japanese restaurants in the country but the overwhelming majority do not know Japanese cooking. The cuisine is not one that cooks are familiar with eating, so they simply do not understand the flavors. This applies to most dishes and not only ramen. People don't seem to mind however, as they don't lack for customers.
yeahhh truly agree with you sadly!! BTW I heard Milk in NisshinCapNoodle is good lol ive never tried though lol hahah
Everything is GOOD when you are HUNGRY 😋 ENJOY 👅🍜🍝🙏‼️
Japanese food can be expensive, but the expense must be justified by both the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the cook. My experience is that most restaurants take advantage of Japanese pricing and thrive because customers believe they are getting both of the above, but in truth they are getting neither.
@@user-rn4xk9dp4d hahahha very true hahah
