Nikkei Nama Bar BGC

Japanese restaurant

😠 First time in this restaurant and it's a famous in BGC, Manila. They serve a nice Japanese foods. However, the ventilation is so bad causing the restaurant smokey and smelly. Our eyes is so uncomfortable and tears keep drop. Unless they fix the ventilation or you manage to get table outside the rest...

Watami Grill and Sushi Bar - S'Maison Conrad

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 The hotpot sukiyaki was the highlight of the meal. The noods were bouncy and the broth was insanely flavorful. The pork cutlets were tender and in hefty portions; the one with curry sauce version was perfect with rice. Karaage with fries was an awesome appetizer — it was super crispy and well-season...

Nikkei Podium

Japanese restaurant

😐 It was not my first time here, but my first time to give a review. My experience on my first visit was better than the second. This second time, I treated my team to lunch. However, they, too, were not happy with the taste, service, and price (especially the tiny lobster, which costs platinum!) of...

SUSHI Shokunin by Chef Migs

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Food was average but serving size was big. What stood out the most, though, was their impeccable customer service. All crew were pleasant, especially our server, Criza. We ordered panna cotta for dessert but it turned out to be less of the quality they want so they volunteered to still serve it but...

Nikkei Nama Bar Rada

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 To be honest, I‘ve been ordered this restaurant from Grab several times but just feel so-so. Well, this is the first time I’ve been here dining, I have a great experience! Love the design and vibe here, all the food are much more tasty than grab takeout order. Besides, you can have more choices in...

Yabu

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Yabu Restaurant is a fantastic place to go if you're looking for delicious Japanese food. Their signature dish is the katsu, a breaded and deep-fried cutlet of meat or seafood, and they offer a wide variety of options such as chicken, pork, and prawn katsu. The dishes are well-presented and taste am...

Nikkei Rockwell

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 First thing that stood out to me was the ambiance/atmosphere and the design of the place. Basically all candle lit so nice dark lighting (in a good way) and accompanied by the rainstorm outside it was a vibe. There was this cool upstairs bar loft space with a nice bathroom as well. The dessert were...

Ramen Ron Rockwell

Japanese restaurant

😐 I was not satisfied with my order here, specifically the Tsukemen. The best part of this was the chashu, but the serving seemed too small for the dish. The rest of the components were underwhelming for me. The noodles felt and tasted quite plain. The tsukemen dipping sauce didn't really differ in ta...

12/10

Modern izakaya restaurant

👍👍 Without a doubt, the best food in Manila. This is Michelin star quality and is priced very well considering. Excellent cocktails, chic decor, cozy environment. Every dish I've had the three times I've been there has been outstanding. Really cool twist on a Japanese small plates concept. Cannot recom...

Shefu-denz

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 The best hole-in-the-wall Japanese restaurant i've ever been to. Their volcano roll is really good! The place can accommodate 5-6 people at most. It is small but the service and the food is exquisite! You get to watch how they prepare your food from their tiny kitchen in front of you. This quaint...

HANAKO

Japanese restaurant

👍 First eatigo experience here at 50% off this pandemic season. Not a lot of people dining in at 6pm on a weekday. Service was fast, took around 10 mins for the orders to come out. The tonkotsu lacked flavor but all else are good. The sushi would be way better with less cheese. Overpowering yung fl...

Yūgen Japanese Restaurant

Japanese restaurant

Watami Grill and Sushi Bar - Greenbelt

Japanese restaurant

🫤 🍱🍽️ Food overall - Ordered Bistro Signature Bundles. Chicken karaage is not crunchy, the breading is too thick. Sliced beef tasted like tapa. 🥗 Salad/side dishes - the veggies are not fresh 🥺 tofu and sashimi are okay. Miso soup is too salty. 🍜 Ramen (Chasu) bowl - served late, tasted bland. I a...

👍👍 ★★★★★ 5/5 Tanabe Japanese Restaurant exceeded our expectations! The salmon sashimi was fresh and served in generous portions, my favorite dish of the night. The tuna sashimi, chicken karaage, tempura don, katsudon, and onnagi don were all delicious. We also enjoyed refreshing Kirin beers. The staff...

Tsukiji

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 A week ago, my family went to Tsukiji for dinner. My nephew made reservations for a private room. It was really nice and felt safer having our own area. We ordered the Special sushi-sashimi boat small for the 5 of us to enjoy. We also got wagyu ohmi sirloin and wagyu ohmi rib-eye to share. Some of...

Yutaka Izakaya

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 The food - very homey! If that's the correct term. Every food we ordered were all so comforting. As expected from Japanese cuisine, it can be mild but the flavors are very on point. Would love to go back and try their other dishes. Every penny spent was worth it. Thanks to the chefs! The service -...
