Restaurant They have a beautifully spacious interior with calming lights and ambient music. I like the layout of the tables and every corner makes me feel like I'm at Japan. Service They greet customers exactly like at Mendokoro Ramenba. Energy is the same and the one who took my order was knowledgeable about their menu. She also always offered refills. Cheese Sauce Tsukemen The prep time was 10-15 minutes. You basically pour the cheese over the noodles, then dunk them into the sweet and citrus dip before eating. Cheesy noodles straight to the mouth tastes funny if you take the dip like a chaser instead. Noodle texture was heavenly thick and chewy! I find this dish expensive but it's really good n' fun to try. read more

Ramen with cheese? YES PLEASE!!! I am not a big ramen person but Mitsuyado is definitely at the top of my ramen list. Everything about their cheese ramen is delicious - the soup, the noodles, the cheese, the tamago, the beef strips, EVERYTHING! I swear if I lived in Makati or near this restaurant, I'd probably be burning more money here than I would in other places. Another thing you should try is their gyoza - one of the best here in the Metro, I believe. The interiors of the place is also really Japanice! Hahaha. It doesn't strive to be high-end nor does it have a fast food feel. It's just cool, calm and collected, spruced up with a whole lot of Japanese touches! read more

I heard so much about Mitsuyado Sei-Men because of their Cheese Tsukemen. The restaurant looks like a side street in Tokyo. The interior was nice but a bit confusing for me. I guess I'm more comfy with the clean feel of the other Japanese restaurants I go to. Tsukemen means "dipping noodles"; the noodle are served separately from the soup and the toppings. Of course, I ordered the Cheese Tsukemen (Php350, 7.55USD). Now, Cheese is LOVE. I love cheese on everything! But, for some reason, I just wasn't "getting" the cheesy ramen with the dipping sauce. I felt like I was eating mac & cheese but, having it with the sauce, was not working for me. Also, the cheese was a bit bland. After the meal, I didn't know if it was the dish or maybe I ate it the wrong way? Still confused about it. All in all, I did enjoy eating their food. I realize now that I am not a fan of cold noodles that is dipped in hot soup. They make their noodles fresh and their tsukumens are tasty. By all means, go try it out! read more

If you're familiar with Makati's Jupiter Street, then you know that walking even a short distance down this thoroughfare in the middle of the afternoon will probably end up with you in the emergency room with your brain smelling like sisig. Mmm, sisig. Wait, not the point. With this in mind, you can't blame me if I thought I opened a door into a Tokyo sidestreet when I stepped into Mitsuyado Sei-Men. There was a food cart, wooden tables and hard-backed chairs, and even a rusty iron gate leaning on one wall, leading to Japanese Narnia for all I knew. And the acid trip didn't stop there! Cold noodles served with flavory dipping (or mixing, your choice) sauce, with a big bowl of thick, gloopy melted cheese on the side. I bet you didn't see that last part coming! I certainly didn't. I sat there for a full fifteen minutes trying to figure out how to eat this while stealing furtive glances at the adjacent tables for tips. Finally I just threw caution to the wind and mixed everything with the noodles. It was amazing. Messy, mind you, but amazing. read more

Mitsuyado Sei-Men - Ramen Near Me - Makati, NCR

Was a loser when I went to Mitusyado Sei-Men...instead of getting one of their noodle combos I stuck to my typical Japanese dish: Ebi Tempura. And it was as good as you'd expect Ebi tempura to be. I did get a spoon or two of my friends noodle combo and it was quite too spicy for me. Will deff be back to get a combo of my own. read more

Been Googling top ramen joints in the Metro and in every blogger's Top 10, Mitsuyado Sei-Men is always on the list. Always. I've run a meticulous search on my Top 3 (Ukkokei Ramen Ron, Ramen Bar and Mitsuyado Sei-men), based on the reviews here at Zomato. Eliminating restos with the most number of bad reviews (tee hee!), hence our Ramen Date Night at Mitsuyado. :) Ambience Oh boy! For a moment, I've forgotten I was in Manila! Their place is like a dimly lit Tokyo street where a Mafia is waiting for you at the corner. Kidding. It looked like a typical Tokyo street on animè came alive -- there's a bicycle hanging on a wall, stationary noodle food cart, a sliding steel gate, lanterns and old movie posters. Really gave me a Tokyo feel. The main event Charsiu Ramen Gyoza Marutoku Tsukemen Extra Cheese Sauce Strawberry Kakigori Bottled Water Drinks in Can While there are 2 sizes available for ramen (regular and large), we ordered the regular ones for the fear of getting drown to the broth. Haha. Please don't ask me about the authenticity of the taste. I am not a food connoisseur, but I'll try my best to transcribe what my palates have experienced. Nor I haven't been in Japan and I can only compare the taste with other Japanese resto's I've went to. The last time I had ramen was at Nomama. I can't even compare because I didn't order the same dish. All I know is that, the broth was so flavorful. The richness of the taste is a far cry from the local hole-in-the-wall Beef Mami or a local Chinese fast food's Wanton Noodles. You know when they say that there are certain food where you can forget your name at your first bite (or sip)? That was the moment. It only took us one spoonful of broth to get lost in it's goodness. I don't even have the words to describe! ... and then I fell in love with tsukemen. It is a dipping noodles where the broth and the noodles is separated. The best seller is the Double-cheese tsukemen (melted cheese and parmesan). I can say (as well on the other blogs I've read) that their melted cheese tasted like the ordinary cheese they put on nachos but it's still a must-try. How can possibly a cheese go along perfectly well with a broth? I dare you to try it. And oh, their gyoza. Perfect side dish to go along with the ramen. It's a great time-out between broth and noodles. We were so full at ramen slurping experience but we always have room for desserts. To cap off our dinner we shared an order of Strawberry Kakigori, it's a crushed ice with strawberry flavor. It's no different from Pinoy Halo-halo minus the fruits and the preserves. Bottomline, we both had a great Ramen Date NIght. This was something we both looked forward to at the end of our work week and I was glad Mitsuyado Sei-Men didn't fail our expectations. We spent around 1,500php for two, inclusive of service charge. They are accepting cash and major credit cards. read more

Hakata Tokotsu Ramen is very far from real one. Be honest, try Ippudo for real taste of " Hakata Tonkotsu." Here is always good for " Tsuke Men" only. read more

Mitsuyado Sei-Men was touted as one of the Best Restaurants by some reputable magazine, and hearing the other reviews about it, I wanted to give it a shot! So after much cajoling, I convinced my mom to go here for an afternoon snack. Entering the restaurant, my expectations only grew. Mitsuyado looked like it was styled after a Japanese street corner eatery, with its little stalls and wooden chairs. I absolutely loved the murals and the little knick knacks scattered about the room, giving it that old-school 80s - 90s Japanese flair. We ordered their best seller: the tsukemen. I knew what a tsukemen was, prior to eating there, and am familiar with how it's eaten (some might consider it a hassle, after all, to have to dip the noodles in the soup for every bite). So I wasn't surprised with how it arrived at the table, bare noodles and thick soup. No, what I didn't like was that their noodles were sticky and wouldn't properly separate-- a sign that their noodles were overcooked. The tsukemen was... salty. As in, I felt like someone had poured in a whole bag of salt in it. I know the noodles are supposed to be coated in the stuff but-- really? It's an assault to the senses. My mom did not like their food either, frowning at the too-salty tsukemen sauce and less than stellar noodles. Mitsuyado's only saving grace is the nice ambience and the fact that they're right next to Yamato bakery. :( read more

Decent food for an okay price. I'm going to start my review by saying how much I enjoyed the aesthetic and mood of the place. Resembling Showa-era Japan, I was impressed by the many subtle details that maintained a certain feeling of authenticity. Unfortunately, the food was not held to the same standard. My group ordered the ebi tempura and gyoza, while I had tonkotsu ramen. While the starters were pretty good, the ramen was not so much. The broth was too thick, the pork bland, and the noodles overcooked. My friends ordered the same as I did, and the meal came out to be around 2000 pesos, which I feel was a bit unfair for the quality of the meal. Overall it was somewhat disappointing, considering the high hopes I had for the restaurant. read more

Tsukemen is a Japanese dish that has a whole bowl of fat noodles with a smaller bowl of the dipping sauce. Take note, the noodles don't have broth. You will have to dip the noodles in this thick broth. It's not as popular as Ramen but it is something worth trying. Along Jupiter Street, you will find a restaurant that specializes on Tsukemen. You will find Mitsuyado beside a Japanese bakery. The set up of the restaurant is simple - benches with long tables. The menu has different kinds of Tsukemen. I got to try the most basic one because there are others that I found a bit weird - like the combination of cheese with the noodles. Overall, I do like the dish but it's not the type of restaurant where I'll crave to go to. I find Tsukemen a bit too heavy to eat. Tip: share the dish with someone. You can't finish it for sure. read more

I live pretty near this place so when my girlfriend and I are craving some ramen, this is where we go. I like it cos it's not really your typical ramen bar. The interiors are set up so it looks like a ramen shop you'd find on the side of a quiet street in Japan. There are vintage posters of samurais and geishas on the wall, bicycles hanging, and colorful banners strewn across the ceiling. The ramen is pretty straight forward. I know they're mostly known for their tsukemen (dipping ramen), and more than that, their cheese tsukemen apparently is a must try. Cheese ramen doesn't really sound like something I'd be into, to be honest. I tried it and it's actually not that bad, although I'm not sure I'd order it again. The tantanmen is pretty good, as well as the Miso and Hakata Tonkotsu ramen. It's a good place to go for a late night ramen fix. read more

This is one of the few ramen places I make an effort to visit every time I find myself in Makati. I love the concept of tsukemen (dipping ramen), and their yuzu broth ramen smells and tastes so good! It can be on the salty side, though, so I would suggest skipping the cheese tsukemen altogether and just enjoy the plain yuzu ramen on its own. If you're a big fan of cheese, you'll probably like it. I also really enjoy their curry tsukemen, but their orders are fairly huge (they come with a side of salad, and of course I must have my ramen eggs every time I eat it) and I find that I can't finish an entire order on my own! The ambiance is really great, the inside of Mitsuyado Sei-Men looks like the gritty streets of Japan, complete with ramen kiosks on the street. I would suggest this place to anyone with a hearty appreciation of ramen. I actually prefer tsukemen to traditional ramen, to be quite honest! read more

Mitsuyado Sei-Men - My Cheese Tsukemen and my date, Garapata! - Ramen Near Me - Makati, NCR

Mitsuyado Sei-Men along Jupiter Street offers one of the best tsukemen that I've ever tasted! When I first heard about it, I wasn't sure how I felt about the ritual of dipping noodles. I mean, dipping sauces usually come with finger foods, and noodles isn't one I would associate with dipping (most especially trying for those who have trouble with their chopsticks skills). The taste, however, is so worth the struggle. The "soup" bases that come with the tsukemen is very dense and flavorful, that it blends into the cold noodles as it hits your tongue and sends delightful signals to all your taste buds. Most of all, definitely try the Cheese Tsukemen for a real unique experience. If I ever met the person who invented the idea of dipping noodles in a cheese sauce, I would definitely give them a high five and a round of beer. read more

This noodle is my best in Philippines. I hope they open branch in more convince shopping malls.

If I had to give an award to the restaurant most dedicated to their theme, it would have to be Mitsuyado Sei-men for their old-Japanese-town-outside inside. You read that right. They try to recreate the appearance of a Japanese street lined with small eateries, but inside. That sort of dedication should be applauded, and their wood and concrete motif is actually quite attractive. That commitment to reconstruct a traditional setting belies a different approach to noodles than what we're used to. Their tsukemen, or dipped noodles, is their signature dish, and their cheese tsukemen is of particular interest. While it's not for everyone, fans of cheesy pasta may get a kick out of it. The more conservative diners do have other choices, such as your regular shoyu or miso ramen, or a variety of curries, but none of those orders really offer anything different. As I'm not particularly fond of separated sauce and noodles I didn't quite enjoy myself, but if you're a fan of dunking things in sauce, this place might be for you. read more

What made Mitsuyado Sei-Men stand out for me the first time around was its interiors. The interiors were set-up to make you feel like you were outside in the streets of Japan. There were entrances of ramen places on the walls, ramen carts inside the restaurant, and it was all very meta actually. Imagine, you're inside a restaurant that wants you to feel like you were actually inside?? How crazy is that? Seriously though, I think that Mitsuyado setting that up gives it such an edge. Two points for Mitsuyado too because their food is also crazy. They have a Cheese Tsukemen that is so mind boggling to me. It's one of those dishes that you doubt at first, but after having a taste of it, you're like "Holey Moley, they actually taste great together??". Their Tan Tan Tsukemen is also highly recommended! It's definitely not for the faint of heart because it has quite the heat! But if you love spice like me, definitely dig into this! More than the ramen, Mitsuyado is better because of its Tsukemen and that alone makes it stand out. read more
