Kichitora - Makati

The black garlic paitan ramen is still my favorite. I like the barbeque/smokey flavor that they have on their chashu. The chicken teriyaki was good as well. It has a crunchy texture too. We opted to eat at Glorietta 5 because it's less crowded. Unfortunately though the service wasn't that good (even if the resto is only roughly half full).

We ate here with my sisters, the ambiance of the place is luxurious, its neat, clean and simple. We ordered the Paitan and Shoyu, the broth is good comforting and savory. We also had the chicken karaage, make sure to squeeze some lemon as it brings the flavor out. The must try spicy chicken karaage was sold out. The additional mixed veggies is quite good. The only minus point for me was the service, its slow and staff seems to be frazzled for some reason. Not attentive at all, very clumsy. Overall this is a great ramen place to try. ????

Ambience It was downright peaceful and quiet because I was the only customer at the time. It turns out they usually close the bigger part of the restaurant sometime in the afternoon. Too bad, though, because I was intending to sit near the window to keep my eyes busy after looking at the menu. Kichitora Paitan Ramen Hands down, this was pretty good ramen! The soup was very thick and tasty though I'm not quite sure if the egg did this. The egg was already served cut in half and I was really happy it was included. For the meat, you have 2 options: chicken or pork. The pork was amazing! It was tender and tasty with a grilled flavor! My favorite part was the noodles because they had a perfectly hard texture. I was very full up to the last sip! Service Judy was kind and asked if I was enjoying my food. She then gave me an idea on how they prepare their ramen, which I found pretty impressive. It made me want to come back and try other ramen too! Service Charge Excluded. I cry.

On June 21, 2017 First time to try this ramen house at their Glorietta branch. I ordered Black Garlic Paitan, but when I got that Ramen, I found a BIG WORM on it. I suppose, you can imagine my disappointment and how traumatic it was. What happened is indeed a bad experience. I will never eat there again.

This is my ramen go to place when I am away from Alabang. I always order shoyu and so should you haha! Their gyoza is also my favorite. Their tanmen and paitan are good too. Spiciness can be adjusted if you request it. Rainy days are back so a return is due anytime soon. Their ramen is considered a comfort food. Their servers are attentive and accommodating.
