Mendokoro Ramenba - Niles

I had several recommendations to try this place out. Amazing experience. Had to wait for a while because we came in a bit late and the queue was a bit long, but boy that Shoyo ramen was great. The gyoza was awesome too. I’ll be back for a different ramen next time.

Food Service On our second visit, we tried their Seafood Ramen and I can't remember the spicy ramen recommended by their staff (3rd pic) both from their secret menu and of course Gyoza. Definitely worth the wait! For me, Mendokoro Ramenba still is the best ramen place in the metro

Wsgood everybody. Lil’ Lisa here. I used to think craving ramen was kinda lame to crave. Then, my world changed when I tried Mendokoro’s Tsukemen (dipping ramen . Lolol. Ever since I first went here about half a year ago, I would bring my visiting friends from wherever to try this place I’d always end up apologizing for making future ramens difficult to compete w. It really is a life changing experience if you’ve only tried ramen from the US, Canada or whatever. This is an honorary well deserved go to spot of mine now. Anyway, I typically get Tokusei Tsukemen cuz I’m a wuss to anything spicy. Although, I’d say if u can handle hot Cheetos’ spiciness, you can handle the “spicy” Karai Tokusei Tsukemen. Most people I bring here who order the “spicy” one enjoy that more than the regular one. But order whatever you like. : Their Tsukemens are very hearty flavorful unlike any other dipping ramen I’ve had back in California or even in the PI lol. Just try it, man. You’ll know. Order Recommendations: Tsukemen (Tokusei, or Karai Tokusei Gyoza Extra Chashu (pork All fire. :’ You’re welcome. *mic drop*

My top 1 ramen place. They don’t accept online or call reservations. Customers will need to order and pay right away to reserve a seat. You’ll need to wait for 30 minutes to 1 hour, though. It’s worth the long wait, anyway. I ordered a special chashu ramen which is a not-so-secret ramen choice from their menu. They served hard noodles. The soup was flavorful, tamago was not too sweet, and chashu and gyoza were perfect. The servers were attentive and they quickly refill your water glass. They are not using tap water (important for me).

Go to ramen place you can never go wrong with the taste, quality, and value. The noodles are al dente, the egg is perfectly cooked, and the taste is consistent. Very dependable ramen place!
