Mugen Ramenya is stepping into new territory, launching its first-ever collaboration menu with Chef Raul Forés’ comfort food concept b.boi.
Chef Jorge Mendez’s Mugen Ramenya has long been a fixture along Maginhawa’s ever-busy stretch, known for rich broths, housemade noodles, and a ramen philosophy rooted in discipline and precision. But for the month of May, the restaurant loosens the reins slightly, welcoming Chef Raul Forés and b.boi for a limited-run menu that leans into bold flavors and unexpected combinations.

Behind Mugen Ramenya’s First Collaboration
Available until May 31, 2026, the collaboration brings together two distinct dining personalities. On one side is Mugen’s restrained, technique-driven approach to ramen; on the other is b.boi’s more instinctive style of Asian comfort food that’s playfully rebellious, indulgent, and driven by flavor above all else.
The menu reads as though both kitchens are meeting halfway. Familiar ramen techniques are pushed into new territory, while comfort food flavors are sharpened through Mugen’s precision.

What’s On The Menu
Leading the lineup is the Gyu-kai Batwan Ramen, which features gyokai broth, short rib, braised langka, batwan foam, and kansi beef broth into something rich, savory, and slightly tart all at once. The dish combines two favorites of the chefs: tsukemen for Chef Jorge and kansi for Chef Raul.

Then there’s the Kuro Chahan with Crab & Ikura, a squid ink fried rice topped with fresh crab and bursts of ikura that make every bite feel excessive in the best way. Cutting through the richness is a housemade nori shoyu, presenting a zing of brightness that keeps you coming back for more.

Dessert comes in the form of Mango Sorbet with Chocolate Mochi, a refreshingly tropical cooler that plays with the chewy textures of b.boi’s milky Mango Bars and chocolate mochi made by Mugen Ramenya. Meanwhile, The “Raul Mendez”—their take on an Arnold Palmer-style drink—keeps things casual and refreshing. Ultimately, what the chefs hope guests can take away from the menu is a sense of possibility, stretched beyond the standard expectations of what ramen and familiar Asian flavors can be.
Our verdict: thumbs up, bowls empty, stomachs full. As it should be.
