(SPOT.ph) While there are a lot of ramen joints in Manila, there is admittedly only a selected handful you can rely on, one of them being Ippudo—in fact, they're ranked number one on our top 10 list of ramen places in Manila. The chain has only been in the Metro since 2014, which is nothing compared to how long they've actually been open in Japan: 33 years! It's a milestone for sure, so it's no surprise that Ippudo has a lot planned to mark the special occasion, all of which revolves on the bowl that started it all: The Zero (P290).

But, this isn't the only thing Ippudo has planned: On the launch of the new ramen on October 16 at 11 a.m., Ippudo is giving away free bowls of Zero for the first 330 customers at SM Megamall, so better be there early!
See a list of Ippudo branches. Zero will only be available at SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, Ayala Malls Vertis North, and Powerplant Mall.
