Dearie couz treated us visiting the Philippines here where you can DIY yumminess on the grill. It…read morewas super fun and we had a lot of laughs...not to mention good hot food. All shared the original okonomiyaki, cheesy okonomiyaki, short rib and pork belly teppanyakis. All were very delicious, reasonably priced and service was friendly. Overall would recommend for a fun time. Could be better though if they had bigger grill tables to accommodate bigger parties (5 of us were squished in) and fans above the grill to suck the fumes out. Believe this is a Japanese chain restaurant with branches outside. Enjoy!

Finally tried Dohtonbori! I love okonomiyaki, it is probably one of my favorite Japanese street…read morefoods, so I was really excited when this restaurant finally arrived in the Philippines. Sadly, the excitement went off when I got busy and I couldn't try it until now. Wary of the long lines, my wife and I went to the restaurant earlier than the lunch rush. Still have to wait when we got there, but we were the first in the waiting line. I love its ambiance, with a very Japanese feel and all the decorations just adds up to the vibe. We ordered several dishes to try. We had mixed okonomiyaki, seafood monjayaki, and pork yakiniku. With the ingredients readily given to you, you only need to mix and make your own okonomiyaki at the yakiniku grill. We let the staff do it at first, but he never came back, so we had to flip and cook it ourselves. The okonomiyaki was really good. I was glad everything was cooked in front of you including the pork yakiniku and gyoza. The monjayaki is something new to me. It is a Tokyo version of okonomiyaki but has a crepe-like base and a sticky filling combination. Generally, food is good, but you might come here for the shear experience of cooking okonomiyaki and other dishes. Give it a try, it might make your while. Don't wake up the cat though. :)

What started out as a simple catering company has now blossomed into a down-to-earth restaurant…read morethat has elevated Filipino cuisine to new heights. I ordered the fried chicken and pork adobo which came with garlic rice, fried egg and tomatoes. The adobo and garlic rice were well balanced, and were not as salty as other restaurants. I also highly recommend exploring their extensive dessert menu.

I remember my first UP Fair as a freshman, and an indie rock band was singing how the only way he…read morecould stay at the Chocolate Kiss Café was if he used his 70 pesos to buy their bottomless iced tea and just hang out there the whole day. As foreshadowing, I never really got to eat there as a perpetually broke college student. It was only 'til after I finished school did I experience ChocKiss. PROS: Their food quality justifies the price. We started with their nachos, and their dips were rich and tasty. For our rice meal, we had their beef caldereta that has very tender pieces and a gourmet feel. And for dessert, we had the devil's food cake, its specialty. We fell in love. It not just looks so cute with its thousand-horn-shaped white marshmallow frosting, but it also has chocolate cake insides that are sinfully decadent. CONS: I guess it's perfect that this is located in Bahay ng Alumni, since only alumni can afford it. It's too expensive for the typical college student. And at approximately P300 per order price, it feels expensive even for the entry-level fresh grad; The food takes a while to be prepared. TL;DR: If you have the budget, indulge in Chocolate Kiss' devil's food cake and other satisfying treats.

Heard about this place from a family friend. Situation on a sleepier corner of Scout Tuazon, this…read moreplace feels a lot more laid back and chill than the busy main corridors of Tomas Morato and Timog. It's quieter too, making for a nice ambience for a family dinner or date. Came here for dinner. They serve breakfast all day so I had their whole wheat French toast sandwich and split the mango adobo flake pizza with a friend. Loved the French toast. Sweet without being too cloying and it came with syrup that I really enjoyed. The pizza was phenomenal though. At ₱450 it's a bit steep for a pizza but it was definitely good for sharing and it was a very unique collection of flavors. Reminded me of a Hawaiian pizza but with a very Pinoy twist. Service was quick and courteous. Their baked goods looked good too!

I've already heard and seen the growing number of Wingstop branches in the Philippines recently…read more I've even gotten to pass by its Eastwood branch but have not had the chance to try it out until a few days back. As a wing person, I'm uber particular with flavor. I think chicken wings are one of the best types of meat to play around with. I mean, there are a ton of flavors you can create to season and coat these babies with. It's all a matter of being creative enough to come up with something just out of the ordinary. And I'm super glad Wingstop has finally brought that to the Philippines. They've got a variety of flavors that some can be considered classic and the remaining to be the edgier flavors. They've got the staples: Hickory Smoked Barbeque, Garlic Parmesan, Lemon and Pepper. And they've also brought in some unusual suspects: Mango Habanero (which is their second spiciest sauce), Cajun, Louisiana Hot and more! They've definitely raised the wings game here in the Philippines! Apart from wings, they also serve chicken balls (which are kind of like the size of nuggets) and chicken tenders. They also serve Chipotle rice - savory rice that perfectly complements your meat. Yum!!! We went there on a Friday night and the place was packed so we had to wait a little before we got a table. The branch in Estancia is quite small compared to their Eastwood branch (I have yet to see their other branches) so seating might be a problem during lunch or dinner. For about two people, it'll probably cost you 600-800 pesos.

Its very similar to a benihanas in the states just minus any excitement or show in the chef cooking for you. The food was good and the chef cooked the food really fast. The waiters and waitresses though were slow and took several reminders before they brought you what you asked. It was even hard to communicate with the chef. We tried communicating with him but it was loke talking to a wall, with one word replies. After a bit we stopped trying. Overall the food was good, maybe the chef was having a bad day. But based on the other reviews service seems substandard.

It's only a short walk from either Market Market and High Street. There were plenty of tables available and I was seated really quickly! The servers throughout my experience were really friendly and attentive as well. I ordered a medium pork tenderloin and green tea ice cream! All the entrees come with unlimited refills of rice and miso soup which I thought was a great option! You grind the sesame seeds and refill your own katsu sauce. The tenderloin was perfectly breaded and crispy! The katsu sauce was a little sweat and savory in an amazing way, I couldn't have enough of it! I was on the hungrier side so I probably should have ordered a large, but a medium should work for most people. The green tea ice cream was also so delicious and a great way to finish off my meal!

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.
