Ran Ramen Tei - Cheap Eats at Fort Bonifacio

When people say Fort - they usually mean Global City, where Serendra and High Street are located. But there's more to to Fort Bonifacio than Global City.. If you manage to passby McKinley Hill or you went to Daboys wake and funeral .. you probably went through Bayani Road. Here, there's a nice Japanese joint that serves really good food. So when craving for that delicious Donburi or you just want to snack on maki.. Why spend so much on such Japanese dishes when you can enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine served hot/cold/fresh with a very reasonable price. Especially nowadays, when everyhting is expensive, people are looking for something that has value for money to offer.


This fastfood has attracted alot of Japanese golfers at the nearby driving range along Bayani Road. You can tell from the customers that the food suits them since they come back again and again to enjoy the simple ambiance and great food.

Randolph Rebleza, the manager/owner of Ran Ramen Tei, has managed to turn his small Japanese Food Counter into a modest fastfood restaurant in a span of just one year. During his opening months his target customers were the people who came from the happy hours. The mini counter offered assorted Donburi(rice bowl dish) and miso soup. The soup and other ramens was a knock out for the tipsy customers. The popularity of his food grew and later on he needed to man two shifts. The first one catering to his usual night customers and the new shift to cater to the early morning golfers. Soon he attracted more clients and he turned his joint into a family friendly place. This is when my husband started bringing me here. Since then I'm hooked and everytime I want to eat Japanese stuffs I directly go here and compared to the ones at the malls you spend less. You can even watch them cook it for you.

I personally like the Katsudon (deep-fried pork cutlet with egg, veggies and sauce). It reminds me of the ones I used to enjoy at the UMall during my collegiate years. Another thing I like about it is that the pork is still crunchy even when sauced.






Boo likes the Ebi Furai (fried crispy prawn) and the Gyoza (steamed dumplings slightly fried on one side). We both like the miso soup and assorted makis.

Some other popular dishes are the sizzling beef teppanyaki, tendon and tamago sushi. While the maki platter is popular with Japs.
