The Amazing Mogu Tree Noodle House!
The guys from Teaza have done it again! Opening yet another boutique resto-place in Lilac St. called Mogu Tree Noodle House, they sure are amping up the foodie experience for Marikina visitors and residents alike!
The place is located right after SSS Village Elementary School (if you’re coming from Sumulong Hi-way) on the left side, just beside China Bank and Udderly Delicious. By the way, Udderly Delicious is another dessert place that’s also owned and run by the same people- can’t wait for it to open as well!
Ordering your food here was kind of fun and new for me- you get a mini-tray, put in it the noodles and toppings of your choice, and then choose between laksa for your soup or just the regular one. Types of noodles include egg noodles, wheat noodles, pesto noodles, among others.
For 125 PHP, you get one portion of noodles, two pieces of two kinds of toppings, and a choice between laksa or regular soup. You can upgrade it to 150 PHP to get two more pieces of toppings. Toppings include Dragon Lobster Balls, Singaporean Fish Balls, Seafood Bun, Sea Urchin Bun, Golden Enoki Mushroom, Mozzarella Balls, Mushroom Balls, Crab Roe Bun, Squid Cake, Pork Asado and Gintara Tofu. They all look so tasty, it makes me want to try them all!
They have four tables near the main counter and also around five tables of four in the second floor to cater to more people. It’s not too cramped nor too spacious, but the feeling and ambiance is just right for people to eat hotpot noodles or rice in- the whole place properly air-conditioned as well.
Tsingtao Beer 600ml – 70 PHP
Your order will be served to you steaming hot, complete with a fancy-looking claypot bowl and stand. :)
The claypot bowl will be served while covered so the luscious aroma of the noodle soup will be blown to your face once you open it, just like the photo below. Well, something like that- we kind of enhanced the photo with Ungri’s vape. ;)
I ordered wheat noodles with two pieces each of Dragon Lobster Balls, Mozzarella Balls and Crab Roe Bun. The Mozzarella balls won the meal for me, so you better put them on your mini-tray when you dine here! The cheese literally explodes in your mouth the moment you bite them. The taste when mixed with laksa soup is weird at first, but then you’ll realize it to be extremely yummy!
Here are photos of what david ordered, a different set of noodles, soup and toppings:
And if you want, you could order an extra mini-bowl of laksa soup or regular soup for free! But you should order if you’re so sure in finishing the whole bowl. One set of noodles and toppings is in itself a belly-burst waiting to happen already. Here’s their menu if you want to try their Claypot Rice Toppings and Dimsum dishes as well:
Better try the place out soon before word spreads around and it gets hectic there! :)

oh I love the concept and I must say it’s reasonably priced. :)
Yes, they are. Try the place out to actually see how it’s like! :D
This post made me so freakin hungry. A “pick your own” noodle house is a genius idea.
I think so too! It’s a first here in our area. Looking at it again also made me hungry :)) If ever you pass by Manila, I’ll give you the grand tour! :D
Seriously craving for some soup and I found your blog while googling for the Mogu Tree menu. Coz you just can’t find that darned piece of paper when you need it.
I think it’s really cool that a lot of food places have opened up in the area. I hope the business thrives so I would never have to go far just to satisfy a craving.
I think it’s gonna be there for quite a long time- thank goodness. After all, it’s been recently featured on national television. And the last time we went there, we had to choose another place ’cause it was packed that time. But yeah, lots of awesome places have opened up along Lilac street! And almost all of them are a must-try. :)
Until what time sila open?
Not sure exactly when, though around 9-10pm. :)
