Ramen Sora can definitely take you to ramen heaven, now with its second overseas branch finally in the Philippines! Thanks to Gerry Apolinario of the Gerry's Grill fame, Filipinos can now taste authentic, delicious ramen at an affordable price!

Giving more value for your peso, Ramen Sora prides itself for serving ramen that tastes better and costs cheaper than the other restaurants in the market. Ever ingredient used in the ramen bowl is shipped straight from Japan, with the noodles having been aged for 4 days both for texture and flavor prior to shipment. Result? Thicker and chewier noodles that retain flavor and texture much longer.

Chicken Karaage with House Special Negi Sauce
Just a serving of Chicken Karaage costs Php245, but a Chicken Karaage with House Special Negi Sauce can set you back Php265. Nicely fried, lightly coated boneless chicken pieces topped with sliced green onions and surrounded by a tangy green onion sauce. The sauce is a bit too salty for me, but if it weren't it would have been perfect! Chicken Karaage is highly recommended.

If you feel like the regular bowl lacks toppings, then get a deluxe upgrade for Php80, where you can get additional nori, menma and two more pork chashu slices. A size upgrade will set you back additional Php120, but then you will have 50% more quantity. Want spicy flavor? Cough up Php40 more. Individual extra toppings such as negi (green onion), nori (6 pcs seaweed), tamago (soft boiled egg), menma (bamboo shoots), corn, butter and moyashi (bean sprouts) are available at extra charge. To complete your dining experience, Japanese beer Kirin and Asahi are available as well as most Coke products.Verdict
I want to come back and try their edamame (Php85), Tokutarou Gyoza (Tokutarou brand handmade pan-fried pork and vegetable dumpling | 5 pcs Php175 and 10 pcs Php345), Otsumami Homemade Menma (Php75) and Pork Fried Rice (Php165). But mostly I'll be back for my favorites corn butter ramen, corn and shrimp tempura and karaage. Taste 3/5 Ambience 5/5 Value (Price) 5/5 Overall 4/5
