Ramen Dashi Gov Duterte Review: Sulit Chashu Ramen

DigiLamon Food Review

You know that feeling when you order ramen expecting “okay lang,” but the first sip of broth makes you pause and go… “Uy, ang sarap nito ah.” 😳

That was exactly my experience at Ramen Dashi – Gov Duterte Branch.

We dropped by around 4 PM, and it was the perfect time—only a few people were dining in, so the whole place felt calm and laid-back. No rush, no loud crowd, just a chill ramen session with a really satisfying bowl.

Chashu Ramen: Unexpectedly Good for Its Price

Rating: 9.5/10

I ordered their Chashu Ramen, and wow—sobrang sulit.

What impressed me most:

1) Generous Pork Slices

This wasn’t one of those chashu ramen bowls where you get two thin slices and that’s it. Mine had a lot of pork slices, and that instantly made the bowl feel satisfying and “value for money.”

2) Quality Broth

The broth tasted rich and well-made—not watery, not bland, not overly salty. It had that comforting depth that makes you want to keep sipping even after the noodles are gone.

3) Sulit for the Price

For what I paid, I honestly expected less—but this bowl gave me:

  • flavor
  • portion
  • quality
  • and that “I’m glad I ordered this” feeling

This is one of those ramen bowls that makes you want to come back and try more of the menu.

Service: Impeccable and Smooth

Rating: 9.8/10

Service deserves a highlight because it really elevated the experience.

The staff were:

  • attentive
  • quick
  • polite
  • smooth with the whole ordering process

It felt like they cared about your experience, and that’s always a big plus—especially in ramen places where service can sometimes feel rushed.
