Kmall Philippines in Quezon City
Perhaps we’ve fallen for K-pop and K-drama personalities first but it’s no doubt that Filipinos have come to love Korean food as well. If you can’t get enough of ramen and other Korean goodies, check out Kmall Philippines in Quezon City.
This Korean mart isn’t just a must-visit for its variety of Korean ramen. It’s also a 24/7, self-service instant ramen shop for you to satisfy your ramen craving any time.

Kmall Philippines has well-known Korean ramyeon varieties such as spicy ramyeon and jajangmyeon (black bean noodles).
For something way spicier, they have buldak (fire chicken) ramyeon in different flavors and spice levels. If you want ramyeon and tteokbokki (rice cakes) at the same time, you can also get rabokki. The shop also carries underrated instant ramyeon varieties such as bibimyeon (cold noodles) and kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup).

While they have a great variety of Korean ramyeon, you don’t have to worry about being overwhelmed. They have a ramyun guide to help diners choose the noodles with the right spice level and matching toppings. The noodles are also arranged on their shelf according to spice level.
Add-ons

To make your ramyeon a little extra, you can get add-ons from their self-service bar, each for a minimal fee.
There’s kimchi, mandu (dumplings), odeng (fish cake), sausages, ham, and eggs, which you can get fresh or hard-boiled. For a more balanced meal, they also have bean sprouts, mushrooms, and onion leeks.

Kmall Philippines has instant ramyeon machines like those seen in Korean convenience stores. These allow you to conveniently cook your favorite ramyeon inside the shop.
Just put your ramyeon of choice and add-ons in a pot or a bowl and place it on an electric stove on the machine. The machine will dispense water, cook your ramyeon, and even tell you when it’s ready. Then, you can sit at one of the shop’s tables and enjoy your meal.
Other Korean products
