(SPOT.ph) It wasn't that long ago when we first spotted Ramen Yushoken's (also called Yushoken) board-up along Panay Avenue. If that news excited you, then it's your lucky day. The Nippon Hasha group's main ramen restaurant and sister to Mendokoro Ramenba and Marudori has finally (and officially) opened up shop in Quezon City—no need to travel far for your ramen fix if you're from the North!

Here's what to expect at Ramen Yushoken Quezon City:
Ramen Yushoken Panay is Yushoken's largest branch. The 70-seater restaurant comfortably sits on the corner of Scout Albano and Panay Avenue, looking like a two-story building. We say "looking" because while the structure might look like it has two floors, it's actually just one story but with high ceilings.
It boasts mostly earth-hued, minimalist Japanese style decor except for one wall that sports a colorful mural full of Asian elements. This pop of color brings life to the space and giving it a young and modern feel.
There are varied seating configurations in the restaurant too. They've got tables for couples and big groups; a few cushioned booths; and even a kitchen-bar-style setup that lets you in on the action with a view of the kitchen.
What to order in Yushoken Panay?
Yushoken's brought over their staples to the new branch. (PSA—if you can't wait for Mendokoro's opening, know that their menus are similar!)
It goes without saying that a bowl of Yushoken's Shoyu Ramen is always a winner; their mildly spicy yet nutty Tantanmen is also some of the best of its kind.
Their Miso Ramen is another crowd favorite. It's got a complex flavor that's full of umami and just a touch sweet, and it comes topped with bamboo shoots, chashu cubes, and sauteed pork strips—the works!
Don't forget to pair your soups with sides like their classic Gyoza, or the crowd-favorite Karaage.
This is just the beginning. Keep your eyes peeled, as Nippon Hasha CEO Ryan Cruz shares they'll be rolling out Panay branch exclusives soon.
Ramen Yushoken (also called Yushoken) is a ramen spot owned by Nippon Hasha, Inc. They first opened in Alabang in 2012.
Ramen Yushoken Quezon City is at Panay Avenue corner Scout Albano Street, Quezon City. For more information, visit Ramen Yushoken's Facebook page.
