I've always gone to the Genki Sushi at BGC stopover. When this branch opened at Ayala 30th, this is…read morethe only branch I go to now! The food arrives quickly when you order on the digital pad. The portions are good for the price too. I always order the Seared Salmon with Black Pepper, Fried Tofu Skin, and Salmon Belly Nigiri. When I'm feeling down, I also order the Buttered Corn. Their menu isn't overwhelmed with too many specialty rolls, which is a good thing. Their handrolls are delicious and cheap. They offer rice bowls and fried food too! Overall, Genki is a favorite stop of mine when I'm in the area and want a light meal. A super plus is their AWESOME Shinkansen order system! :)

Ooma is a play on the Japanese word "umai," meaning "good" but for me Ooma is more like OOMAGOD!…read moreEverything here is soooo GOOD!!! Ooma is a well known Japanese restaurant that offers fusion dishes that fits the Filipino palate. They have three locations in Manila but we decided to dine at their SM Megamall branch. We were told to expect long lines at all Ooma locations but we got lucky to be seated right away. The hostess greeted us right promptly and the entire staff were all friendly, fast, and efficient. We were very pleased with excellent customer service provided. The food? OOMAGOD! I loved every single dish we ordered. From sushi to soft shell crab to hangar steak to dessert. I didn't bother knowing the names because I just went on chomping and devouring every dish brought to our table. They tasted as good as they looked. It's just WOW! Amazing food yet very affordable. Highly recommended!

Ooma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma!!!! Solid sushi making happening…read morein here tourists and residents of Manila! Japanese resto on the third or fourth floor of this mall and the place is similar to a small sushi place here in Toronto with only about 10-15 tables that extend inside the mall so you can 'people watch' while you munch on some fresh well-handled ingredients. The chicken teriyaki dinner was served on a bed of fresh leafy greens with bomb teriyaki sauce drizzled on top that can activate salivation in an instant. The sushi rolls were compact with flavour and filling that is heavily squished between master hands and a wooden roller perfecting a trip coming to an end in my beautiful city. I forget which ones we ordered but we came near closing and the options were limited to what's available for the chef to make so we settled for what it is, but it never felt like settling. Service was also warm despite us bombarding into the server's wishful thinking in getting the restaurant cleaned and empty in time for clocking out. Please refer to the pictures taken as all of the above have imprinted quality sushi in our minds whenever we are back for some shopping next visit. A bit on the pricier side compared to other cheaper options in and out the mall but it's equivalent to paying $60 and on par with the a la carte restos here in Toronto.

Before Tok-yu, the only place I would get my Japanese fix in Pasig/Ortigas is Haru or Marufuku…read more Both are pretty pricey. So, usually I'd wait and plan a trip to Makati so that I can eat at one of my favorite Japanese restaurants there. When Carlo found out about this Japanese restaurant nearby that serves reasonably priced yet great tasting Japanese food, we just had to go try it! The restaurant is found inside Pioneer Center. Just to manage expectations, expect no frills when dining here. Seats are limited; looks like an old cafeteria. In fact, the place badly needs a renovation even just a new paint job. Also, there is no restroom here; you have to go all the way to the supermarket's restroom. My all-time favorite here is the Uni Sashimi; it's only Php180! Super fresh too! The only downside is that it's the first to run out. You also must order any of their Sushi Sets (mostly under Php200), Ebi Tempura and Beef Misono. Wash it all down with their Red Iced Tea! :)

The Good: Great Japanese food, specially considering the price…read more The Bad: Rice isn't authentic Japanese Rice, and the ambiance leaves a lot to be desired The Pro-Tip: Try the Red Iced Tea and the Ebi Tempura On one of those nights when Joey and I were unsure on where to eat, we decided to do bit of Yelp roulette! Looking for an alternative to our usual Japanese restaurant, we found this gem on Yelp! It was highly recommended by the previous reviews so we decided to give it a try! And am I glad that we did! While the ambiance is that of a carinderia (canteen), the food does not disappoint! We ordered the Sushi Platter, Tuna Sashimi, Ebi Tempura and Beef Mizuno! The Sushi and Sashimi were very fresh. The Ebi Tempura was abit on the small side, but very well cooked. The beef mizuno was well cooked and seasoned! My only complaint regarding the taste was that instead of using authentic Japanese rice, they used a local variety. Otherwise, the food was superb! The kicker was that these dishes can easily go for P250-300 at other Japanese restaurants, but here it only averaged P150! What a steal! Finally, there was the Red Iced Tea. Trust me, the other Yelpers are right, it is worth a try! Will we be coming back for seconds? Definitely! Soon, too!

This is my nearest go to Japanese place when I'm too lazy to go Tokyo Town. They serve good sushi…read morerolls and yakitori. I must say their salmon uni aburi maki and oysters are the bomb. Also try their sukiyaki, kamameshi rice, tempura, and the beef tongue- scallop salad. they also have a wide selection of sakes.

Marufuku is my family's "Secret" Japanese Restaurant (I hope they don't kill me for disclosing its…read morelocation!). It's quietly tucked in the Pearl drive of Ortigas is a must-visit! Just enter the sliding door and, I promise you, you will experience authentic Japanese cuisine. Their menu has a variety of appetizers, ramens, sushi, sashimi, yakitori, and katsus. Of all the dishes I must order, it is their Uni Nigiri (Php95 per piece, 2USD). The Uni they serve is always very sweet and fresh. I usually order a few robata (grilled) items such as their Butabara Shio (Php85 per stick, 1.84USD) and Yakitori (Php75 per stick, 1.62USD) to go with their Onigiri Sanshu (3 Kinds of Rice Balls for Php345, 7.46USD). If you really want to go all out, I recommend you order their Chirashi Don (Php650, 14USD), the sashimi will depend on the delivery of the day. They also offer premium sakes to cap of your meal. This is an honest to goodness wonderful Japanese restaurant. If you're in Ortigas, forget those pseudo Japanese restaurants in the malls and head on over to Marufuku. :)

We tried the Uni-salmon donburi (rice bowl) which came as pretty as it is delicious. Then we had some crispy fried oyster in sweet teriyaki sauce, surprisingly good, we also had the mixed tempura and cold sake to pair. The desert was from next door restaurant Cafe Juanita sticky toffee pudding and pistachio sansrival, a perfect end with a strong cup of coffee.

It's usually always better quality and tasty. Im not talking about japan good which is always a 10/10 but this was more like a 8/10 and the pricing made it 9/10 lol. There was not a negative thing I could say about the times I visited and ate lol my husband did I am sure get tired of it. He's more into Filipino food of course but usually if you grow up in the provinces food like this place isn't a daily or weekly thing so for him he got tired of it quickly lol I went to the one at MOA near the road entrance and the location at SM Baguio and both were fantastic! You do not have to talk to anyone lol which is more of my style. You click and choose what you want on the TV screen and it comes out to you. If it is a drink or larger item like a soup, they will hand deliver it but it's a quick drop and go kind of thing. There is a hot water spout at your table with matcha (which isn't the best grade) but it works lol Air con worked, it was never really "busy" when we went. Only a few tables but I'm sure it's because everyone was working at the times when we went.
