Random Find: Authentic Japanese food at Kyukyu Ramen 99
I always thought that having a bowl of authentic Japanese ramen would cost me an arm and a leg. It was a nice suprise to discover Kyukyu Ramen 99 at Starmall EDSA Shaw which offers authentic ramen for just a fraction of the usual price. The brand currently has a growing number of branches all over the metro. And the man behind its success? Entrepreneur-and-stunt director Lester Pimentel Ong (He has worked for numerous TV shows like ABS-CBN’s La Luna Sangre and Bagani!).
Direk Lester and his business partner shared with us their journey in coming up with a quick-service restaurant that offers authentic Japanese ramen. It took months of research and sourcing of suppliers to finally offer Filipinos the unique experience at 1/5 of the usual price of good ramen. When I finally got to try what Kyukyu Ramen 99 has to offer, the brand exceeded my expectations.
