Kenji Tei Ramen House at GB5

4/04/2012 02:33:00 PM  Mary de Guzman  14 comments

Kenji Tei Ramen House, found in Greenbelt 5 and B.F. Homes, specializes in Ramen (...just as the name should imply). If I'm correct, they started off in B.F. Homes. My companion was the one who chose this place when we went to Greenbelt 5, and I think it was a good choice.

 Truth be told, while I love Japanese cuisine, ramen doesn't top my list when it comes to "food I would order in an instant". That's probably why this place wasn't familiar to me, because even if it had been mentioned to me several times before, it probably wouldn't have piqued my interest. But upon experiencing the restaurant for the first time, I can say that I was pleasantly surprised.

Woo, chili powder.
I don't know a thing about ramen, I don't know what's good or what I would like. If you're like me, better ask your waiter for what he would recommend for you. 

We ordered the Gumoku Shio Ramen, which was pretty good... and extremely filling. Even though we split up one order between us, busog na busog ako.

 We also ordered Tempura. It was crispy and tasty, but honestly nothing out of this world.

 Then we ordered some Gyouza as well, and this I loved! It was very tasty. Actually, I think I liked it more than the ramen.

Pretty interior. :)

Verdict 
Service was fast, place was clean and I loved the modern layout, and the food was good. I'd recommend it. I think I need to take more trips to further learn about ramen, and which one would suit me best... hehe!

Taste - 4/5

    I love Japanese cuisine but like you, ramen doesn't top my fave Japanese food items. Not even second or third actually. But whenever we eat in a ramen house, I order shoyu (soy) and miso-based noodles. The one you ordered, shio, is just salt-infused. Maybe you should try shoyu next time 'cause it's really more flavorful.. :)

      Thanks, Sumi! I actually wanted Shoyu, but my companion was paying for the bill so I couldn't get my way. Haha! I do think it would be more flavorful since it's soy based. :) Thank you for the suggestion, I'll definitely keep it in mind.

      I think they've been around in BF Homes for some time now. Not really sure. But the one in GB5 is fairly new :)

    Looks like an interesting place for ramen, though I personally am biased towards the Sapporo ramen with butter and corn from Shinjuku. Definitely trying this, though.

    I love Japanese but haven't found an interest in Ramen yet. Maybe I will soon. :)

    I on the other hand, love Ramen :) Most of the time when I do order one, I split it up with someone because it's just too big. But sometimes, when I know that I can handle it, I take it in whole. HAHA! Nonetheless, I think I haven't seen this place pa, maybe I've passed by it numerous times but to which I failed to notice. WILL DEFINITELY TRY THEM OUT! XD
