It was by accident we found this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. It was Father's Day so the restaurant was a bit busy.
For starters we had one of their specials: special California maki. It did not disappoint as the 8 pieces went very fast. Our last order was also a maki - Na Futo Maki. It was also outstanding. We also had the ika ichiyaboshi which was served with a mayo-based dip. Crisply grilled, it was as fresh as fresh could get.
For salads we shared the seafood salad which was excellent. The shabu salad, on the other hand, wasn't outstanding.
Our main course was ramen. I had the Kaisen ramen which is the seafood ramen. My wife had the Tonkutsu ramen while my daughter had the spicy one. All were excellent.
The food quality over-all was excellent and I think it's because the restaurant has an authentic Japanese chef. While I cannot confirm this, it's the only explanation I can think of. What was a bit confusing was the order in which the dishes were served. The water came a tad too long.
This now moves into my list of "best Japanese restaurants" in Manila.
