EBI 10 at Ayala Malls Vermosa: Fresh Japanese Comfort Food Worth Coming Back For

 

If you’re looking for a Japanese restaurant in Ayala Malls Vermosa that feels casual but serves food that tastes carefully made, put EBI 10 on your list. We recently ate here and left the place genuinely happy—full, satisfied, and already talking about what we want to order next time.

EBI 10 is known for Japanese comfort food and is often described as a spot where you can enjoy favorites like ramen, donburi, sushi/sashimi, and tempura-style dishes in one place. That “something for everyone” vibe is exactly why it works so well for families, barkadas, and even solo diners who just want a good bowl of noodles.

What we ordered at EBI 10 Vermosa

We came hungry, so we tried a mix of ramen, rice meals, and sides—plus drinks to match.

Gyu Ramen was a highlight. The beef tasted rich and savory, and the overall bowl felt comforting without being too heavy. It’s the kind of ramen that makes you slow down and enjoy every spoonful of broth.

Next, we ordered one of their ramen specials, Spicy Seafoods Mazemen. If you haven’t tried mazemen before, think of it as a “brothless ramen” style where the sauce and toppings do all the work. This one delivered: spicy, flavorful, and satisfying—especially if you like seafood and a little kick.

For rice lovers, Katsudon is always a safe (and sulit) choice. The pork cutlet was crispy, the rice was warm, and everything came together in that classic sweet-salty comfort-food way. It’s filling and perfect if you want something hearty.

We also got Tuna Ponzu Sashimi, and this was one of the freshest-tasting dishes we had. The tuna was clean and soft, and the ponzu added that bright citrusy flavor that makes sashimi feel even lighter and more refreshing.

To balance the meal, we ordered Iced Matcha Tea. It’s a great partner for savory Japanese food—cool, smooth, and not overpowering.

The drink you should try

Now for our favorite surprise: the EBI10 Highball (Cucumber & Ginger). This drink was very refreshing—cool cucumber notes with a ginger bite that makes each sip feel crisp. If you want a light cocktail-style drink to pair with ramen and fried dishes, this is a great pick.

Service and overall experience

One thing we really appreciated: we didn’t wait long for our food. Everything came out at a good pace, and we never felt like we were stuck waiting while hungry. The staff kept things moving, which matters a lot when you’re dining at a mall and want a smooth experience.

Most importantly: the food tasted fresh. Not just “masarap,” but fresh—like ingredients were handled well and cooked properly. That’s the difference between a meal you simply finish and a meal you actually remember.

Our visit to EBI 10 at Ayala Malls Vermosa was a win. The ramen specials were satisfying, the sashimi tasted fresh, the katsudon hit the comfort-food spot, and that cucumber-ginger highball was the perfect refresh. We left very pleased with our meal, and yes—it’s worth coming back for another round.

If you’re exploring restaurants in Vermosa and want a reliable Japanese place for ramen, donburi, and shareable sides, EBI 10 is an easy recommendation.
