“ My first time in the Philippines (May 2023). Coming from Canada this is the best sushi I have ever had. I will be going back on my next trip. ”
“ Their rolls are definitely binge-worthy. The restaurant is small but it has great ambience. It has this minimalistic Japanese design which I love. :)) Ramen is a solid 7/10 l. Overall, a great Japanese restaurant in CdO. ”
“ Great food is available with the options of ramen, maki, bento, rice with topping, fried rice, shrimps, pork, and beef all prepared in Japanese manner. The place is however small and often crowded even during weekdays lunch and dinner. The service is ok but it could needs some improvement once this place gets bigger (the place is so narrow its almost like a 2.5 m wide hallway with tables and chairs). ”
“ Excellent ambiance. Authentic Japanese food. Sashimi is fresh. Tonkatsu curry was delicious. Shoyu ramen was good. We also ordered pari pari men - serving was generous. Great dining experience. Sake is okay. ”
“ Had a great experience. The food is good, very authentic. They serve a lot, usually 1 order can be shared by 2-3 persons. They offer huge different kinds of ramen, viands, and bento boxes. We were there around 12:30, not so much people. Located just in front of Avida Aspira, beside Cafe Leonne. They have good parking space, just go there before peak hrs. ”
