Among the top Ramen Nagi favorites offered by the establishment in the city include its ever famous Botao king, red king, black king, green king and limited king aside from other Japanese delicacies offered to its growing number of customers.
Espiritu revealed Ramen Nagi owners plan to continuously expand their stores not only in Luzon but also in the Visayas and Mindanao, like the major cities of Cebu and Davao, with the aim of reaching 30 in the next two years or so.
On his part, Erwin Macariola, Ramen Nagi master chef, revealed the Japanese ramen and 95 percent of its spices and ingredients are imported from Japan, thus, customers are guaranteed the quality of the food that they will be served by their cheerful staff.
