TAMAGOYA Noodle House: Have a taste of Japan

Tamagoya Noodle House is a small, cozy little place in Masinag, Antipolo, located beside a car repair shop at the end of Sumulong Highway, where you can get authentic-tasting Ramen.  The place is pretty remote, operating hours are a bit quirky and the place gets really busy most of the time, but foodies from all over the metro have been raving about this noodle joint and it was easy to see why.

I’ve never seen a place so packed with people before. And it’s not just the inside that was full; there was even a long queue of customers waiting to be seated. We had the sit outside the store for almost an hour before we were able to get inside and order. But once we were finally able to get in, I got to see how they got so many people waiting patiently outside just to try out their ramen. The food, indeed, was worth the wait.


What I liked about the place was it was so quaint and it resembles a lot a real Japanese noodle house (according to what I see in Japanese movies and anime's). When I walked through the door, it felt like I was suddenly transported to Japan in just a snap.


There's a long bar in the first floor with a few booths. Bigger groups can go upstairs in the second floor where there is more room and several tables that can seat around 4 to 5 persons.

The Stamina Ramen soup, a spicy miso based broth, is probably their most famous bestseller. Their Miso Ramen soup and Gyouza are also must-tries.



According to a friend (who has been to Japan a couple of times), of all the ramen she tried here in the Philippines, Tamagoya has the closest flavor to the authentic Japanese ramen. No wonder people are willing to wait long lines just to have a taste of their good food. It’s definitely worth giving a try!
