We started coming here ~3 months ago. The peanut soup - delicious. Nice, courteous service…read more Now weeks later - why do the plates, bowls and spoons arrive some 4 or 5 minutes after the food? Even when specifically asking before for eating implements. Why is some of the soup so SALTY? Tonight - the noodle soup, the principal choice of my fellow diners, is cold. It is returned. It comes back cold AGAIN. (It is intended to be hot). Then, a THIRD TIME! - it is evidently microwaved - but unevenly, some parts are hot, some are stone cold. This situation evolves over 10 minutes or more when others are just trying to enjoy. The whole event goes down. Finally, the chicken and rice arrives - but no serving bowls ever appear. The chicken has a lot of skin on it, and is not hot. There is NO manager - finally they confess the manager is not on his way, there is no manager. It was so good before, now no - what is happening?

Santouka has always been my restaurant of choice in Greenhills when I'm looking for a heavy and…read moresatisfying meal. Their set meals are extremely affordable! While I always argue to myself that I won't be able to finish a whole set on my own, I usually end up slurping the last bit of ramen soup by the end of the meal. A typical set meal at Santouka usually consists of a small bowl of ramen (shio-based), chicken karaage, some rice, miso soup, small salad and some fruits for dessert. So imagine eating rice, noodles, pork, chicken and salad all in one seating! Santouka really does offer the best value for money when it comes to eating Japanese. A good tip would be order a set meal of chicken karaage an upgrading the size of the ramen to medium or large. That way you can split the set with your lunch companion. While Santouka does not offer unlimited rice to their set meals, you really wouldn't need it as much by the end of the meal.

The place is conviently located in Alabang west. with secured parking in the property. The plaza has plenty of shopping and dinning options with a relaxing ambiance. The restaurant is busy when we arrived but didn't wait long to be seated. We were greeted warmly by the host and staff. It is clean and highly organized with plenty of options on their menu. We elected a few items and were excited to try, we also didn't wait long to be served our meals and when they came, they were all made fresh and delicious!

The restaurant gave us an amazing seat with a picturesque view of the volcano. The pictures we took looked like they were Japanese paintings. I had the penne pasta that was topped with an alfredo sauce and steak. I also had the foie gras salad which was prepared correctly. Both dishes were tender and delicious. The foie gras came with a small dollop of spicy apple sauce that paired well with it. The cherry tomatoes were fresh and crisp. My husband found his ribeye to be a little thin for the price. It was delicious and well-cooked, however. We finished off our meal with a slice of their salted caramel cheesecake, which was quite good. On the whole, we truly enjoyed our experience.

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. Glad we didn't order more food because there was already lots of food! Highly recommend!

If only I were rich, I'd probably be at Sumo Sam every other day. Alas, I could only afford it…read moremaybe every payday, as a meal would typically cost A minimum of Php 500. But the food is definitely worth the price, though. It's Japanese food heaven on earth! My family and I usually go to The District Imus branch as it's near home, and it's not too packed. Our favorites include Sumo Sam's Pride (a fresh, sweet salad of lettuce, mango balls, grilled shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and candied walnuts), Crunchy Tuna Roll, and California Maki--which are noteworthy takes on the usual favorites. The ramen lovers can rejoice, as there are several versions of ramen here. The Sumo Sam menu is quite extensive, actually. From appetizers to desserts (cheesecakes, anyone?), fresh to fried, there's something here for everyone. True to its name, the serving sizes here are huge, so bring your big appetites. Enjoy!
