Between the 599 and 499 options, the 599 is definitely a better deal. We basically tried all the meats, and would advise that you get the beef platter as it comes with five different flavoured meats. The quality of meat is better than many others (in my opinion). The cheese is sumptuous, but their kimchi isn't great.

This time the visit was with my parents, my brother, my husband and me. We were served with delicious complimentary tofu with a great-tasting sauce. My brother ordered the aji tataki for us to start off and it's been a while since I've had this. Beautifully done and very tasty! My brother got the chirashi bowl. My husband and I shared the Gindara kaku bento - grilled cod fish, salad, salmon and tuna sashimi, tempura, miso soup with clams and mango ice cream. For dessert, fruits was the other option. My brother also ordered several chawanmushi for us to share. My parents shared the Nigiri kaku bento. There was so much food. The one down side was the fish in my parents' bento box was a bit tough, unlike the gindara that we had. I would probably recommend the Gindara kaku bento between the 2 bento boxes. We also had this soup that came in a small teapot. I had missed jotting down the name but you drink the soup from a miniature teacup.

Definitely satisfies my futo maki craving. I think it's a great place for big groups. It's not the cheapest Japanese restaurant maybe it's better even just go to a buffet like Sambokujin.

Castor, it's across the 24-hour Family Mart and is near Afters Espresso and Dessert. Parking is a little bit difficult. It seems like they don't have the same valet service as the Makati branches. Compared to the other branches, this new one is definitely more brightly lit and spacious. They still have the bar seating and booth seating on the first floor. Then there are more booths on the second floor, along with some private rooms for groups. If you're having a hard time choosing your order, the bento boxes offer great value for money and allow you to try a handful of dishes. I'm always a fan of their shrimp tempura, fish tempura, their soba and the spicy tuna maki. I did notice, however, that the spicy tuna maki in this branch seems to be smaller in size than the Makati branches. In any case, it's still really good stuff. This branch also offers the grilled items that you can grill at your table. I personally like the US Karubi and US Rosu. The restaurant was quite busy on a Saturday night so make reservations or prepare to wait in line. It's worth it though!

Recently, I've tried their Mt. Fuji Roll which has deep-fried tuna, unagi, and cream cheese. The taste is eel-ectrifying (ha!). I like how the mild taste of the cream cheese balances out the saltiness of the tuna and unagi. Aside from the usual fare of sashimi and maki, I almost always go for teriyaki chicken when eating at Japanese restaurants. Omakase's teriyaki chicken is good; it has that smokey, savory flavor that's important in teriyaki chicken, though I guess it's a little too sweet. With its intimate setting, I'd consider it a great place to go to when with family or friends. If you're going in a large group, try the Sushi Boat but prepare to go a little overboard (another ha!) on your budget.

It is located along Bambang, near LRT station and it is situated on top of a carwash. If parking is a problem, just avail the carwash package to hit 2 birds with 1 stone. The place is a bit small, but the food they serve is not limited to its size. Nachoriffic! It is fried wanton skin topped with seasoned beef, cheese sauce, and a spicy, tomato based sauce. I like the taste of the beef, it reminded myself, doing my own homemade tacos way back. The chips could have been the real corn chips for better flavor and texture. The wonton skins can easily become wet and soggy due to teh moistness of the toppings. Truffle Cheese soup. The truffle cream soup tasted like bechamel with truffle oil on top. It would be better if they would add fresh mushrooms to the blended soup just to bridge the gap of flavor. The truffle was strong but both flavor of the soup and oil is far apart. A little mushroom would do the trick. Ribs was tender and taste. They used a smaller set of ribs or smaller pig that produced thinner bones and tastier pork meat. Good thing it wasn't boiled, but was slow cooked in the oven thet produced the tender, finger licking pork riblets. Trio Melt Down is one thing I would go back for. 3 USDA choice cut ribeye, seasoned 3 ways. Classic Honey Garlic, Zesty Mediterranean Rub, and the Truffle Cream. Honey garlic is my personal fave, classic flavors for a steak. The others are good also, but I prefer my steak with just salt and pepper. I like the natural flavor of the meat as the star of the show. Himalayan steak is a must to feel the Red Baron steaksperience. They will serve you raw USDA Prime cut that should be rested on a block of Himalayan Pink salt to season it, then cook it on top of stone grill to your desire doneness. It's the best experience that Red Baron has offered. Red Baron may not look as classy as other steak houses, but all I can say is, they're pretty serious to put RIBS and STEAKS in their brandname. #TheFoodCrawlers #OngsFoodprints

There…read moreare a few steak houses who try to lower down the price, to give a chance to the masses, but unfortunately, quality has to go down as well. This is not the case with Red Baron. The owners love eating steak and they wanted to share it to the world. They researched and found a way to lower down cost yet keep the quality intact. Their choice of meat comes from USDA, so you expect it to be good. Red Baron offers juicy burgers, mouth-watering ribs, crispy nachos, flavorful wings, and fork-tender steaks. This quaint steak shop is located at the 2nd floor of Wash and Go Carwash. For this visit, we tried several items on their menu: - BURGERS: We tried the Hawaiian Burger Lusu and Volcanic Bacon Mushroom Melt. The volcanic burger didn't make itself to me because it was completely devoured. I like the Hawaiian because the beef is so fragrant, yet the sweet-salty combination can be tasted and added great flavor to the burger. The twister fries it accompanies can be compared to that of McDonalds. - RIBS: We had baby back ribs. Though smaller, it was great flavors. I also love the small and fine ribs. It was fun to eat. - STEAK: We tried all three rubs: Old English, Mediterranean, and - APPETIZERS: We had the Nachorrific, Smoked BBQ Wings, and Chili Hot Wings. Believe them when they say their nacho is terrific, because it really is. Not your typical tortilla chips, but special crafted that is crunchy and not oily. It is overloaded with ground beef and cheese. The part that I like best is the toppings go deep inside the dish and not just on top of it. The wings are just right. - PREMIUM HIMALAYAN STEAK: The best thing you can get from a restaurant besides the food, is the entire experience. The meal comes with Truffle Cheese Soup. The soup is creamy and fragrant. There are also soft diced potatoes which goes well with the cheesy soup. I can have a bowl of this. With this order, you can grill your own steak on a portable stone tablet. The already-seasoned steak is to be marinated atop a Himalayan Pink Salt block before it is transferred and cooked on the Stone Block. It is very exciting to cook your own steak, and once the smoke goes up and filled the entire room, you would be drooling to eat them immediately. I am so glad that the owners of Red Baron come up with this idea as it takes the entire steak house theme to a whole new level. For the drinks, I highly recommend their Mango Peach Perilla. I have yet to try their milk shakes, I heard they're great. Looking forward to another visit.
