Ramen X: Budget Ramen for a Quick Craving Fix

It's affordable, yeah, but don't expect it to be on the level of the more expensive ramen houses in the Metro. We were craving for some noodles that day and found Ramen X in the corner of EDSA and Quezon Ave - an area which is now called Centris Walk.

Ratings:
Food: 2/5, their ramen's flavor is not that rich as compared to the more expensive ramens from other restos.. but it's cheap considering its big serving. Their rice bowls are good, though but we went here for the ramen, so....
Place: 4/5: small place, nice surroundings (Centris Walk branch)
Service: 3/5 not bad, our food was served within ten minutes after ordering

The Food

We ordered one X Ramen (shio based roast pork with minced pork noodles) and Yoshi's Ramen (soy based pork noodle with pork belly slices. These two cost 189 Php each. As previously stated, their ramens come in big serving bowls, which can feed two adults.

There is nothing special with the taste of their ramens. In fact, the ones we ordered tasted kinda plain and we didn't feel like we're in a Japanese restaurant. The noodles are just like the ones you can get at some Chinese fast foods. Garlic and onion were also plenty much to our dismay because it made our ramen taste like any ordinary mami (noodle soup). What I liked about our ramens, though, were the ramen eggs or Tamago. They tasted fresh and were the ones that brought "authentic Japanese" into that bowl.

The Place

They have three branches around the Metro: Trinoma, Alabang Town Center, Eton Centris. The one we tried were at Eton Centris. The place has a nice surrounding which made this branch look like an upscale Japanese restaurant. There is a nice wall decoration on the inside that looks like desktop/phone icons. It's a nice touch and gives the place a modern feel.

Tips for Wandering Peasants

• their ramen bowls are big enough to be shared by two people. 
• share a ramen bowl with a friend, then order a rice bowl if you're that hungry.

Location
Eton Centris is fairly easy to spot. It is along EDSA northbound and near the corner of Quezon Avenue.
