How to Commute to Ramen Yushoken (Molito Complex) from Makati

Start Point: SM Makati
Go to Route Index
List of PUV Terminals

Route used: EDSA > Magallanes flyover > SLEX (Skyway) > Alabang-Zapote Road

Note: Ramen Yushoken is one of the ramen places recommended in the article 5 Questions About Eating Ramen In Manila Answered By A Japanese, especially for tonkotsu lovers.

Option 1: Via bus / jeep

Beside SM Makati and beneath the MRT-Ayala station are bus loading/unloading zones where you can get on the buses headed to Alabang and other Southbound destinations.

1. Get on the buses with the following placards:

a. Alabang / Metropolis / South Station
b. Alabang Starmall / Pacita

Note: Do not get on the buses with placards "Pacita Derecho" because these will bypass Alabang and you won't be able to get off.

2. Where you get off depends on which bus you ride:

a.  Alabang / Metropolis / South Station placard - you get off at Alabang South Station.
b. Alabang Starmall / Pacita placard - you will be deposited underneath the Alabang viaduct near the Alabang public market.

To get to the jeepney terminals at South Station, just keep walking until you reach the first corner, then turn right towards the public market. Keep walking until you reach the T-intersection and at your right will be South Station (landmark: KFC at the corner).

Note: Some buses, especially the Ordinary (i.e. non-aircon) buses, do not take the Skyway and instead also make stops at Bicutan and Sucat exits before exiting at Alabang. If you don't see a "Skyway" among the placards displayed, most likely the bus will take the SLEX instead.

3. At Alabang South Station, make your way to the loading areas of the jeeps with placards going to:

a. Zapote
b. Las Pinas
c. SM Southmall
d. Baclaran

You can get on any of the above jeeps.

4. Get down in front of Puregold Molito (it will be on your left).

Landmark: Shell station to your right, after Pacific Village.

5. After crossing the street, beyond Puregold is already Molito Complex.

Option 2: Via FX

1. From SM Makati, cross Palm Drive to get to Park Square building (it's on the same side of the road as Dusit Thani Hotel).
2. At the ground floor of Park Square, look for the FX/vans headed to Las Pinas.
3. Tell the driver to drop you off at Puregold Molito (it will be on your left).

Landmark: Shell station to your right, after Pacific Village.

4. After crossing the street, beyond Puregold is already Molito Complex.
