The story

Ramen Ron: Authentic Japanese Ramen in Quezon City

Chef Tamura’s Return

Ramen Ron is the revival of a beloved institution. Chef Tamura, widely recognized as the Philippines’ first ramen chef, originally made his name with Ukokkei Ramen Ron. In 2021, he partnered with AF Hospitality to reopen the concept, bringing his signature craft back to Metro Manila. The result is a neighborhood ramen-ya that feels both familiar and fresh.

The Bowl

The menu focuses on authentic Japanese ramen, with a rich, deeply flavored broth and perfectly cooked noodles. Chef Tamura’s decades of experience are evident in every bowl. While the ramen is the star, the kitchen also turns out classic Japanese dishes that complement the noodles. The shop operates on a walk-in basis only, so expect a queue—it’s part of the experience.

Setting and Service

The space is unpretentious, with counter dining that puts you inches from the action. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable, and on pleasant days, outdoor seating is available. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Service is efficient and warm, reflecting the Filipino hospitality that AF Hospitality champions.

Michelin Recognition

Ramen Ron’s quality has not gone unnoticed. It earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a testament to Chef Tamura’s mastery of the craft. For those seeking a genuine Japanese ramen experience in Metro Manila, this is a destination worth seeking out.
