There are not many fondue restaurants in the city - actually I cant even think of any other…read morerestaurant that serves fondue except for this one. Old Swiss Inn is one of its kind! When you think of Swiss food, you usually only think of one thing, fondues. Not just the usual chocolate fondue but cheese and beef fondues as well. Their signature dishes are the Waatlander Fondue (combination of gruyere and emmenthal cheese with a kick of kirsch, which is quite strong) and the Fondue Bourguigonne (beef tenderloin cubes served with a whole carousel of sauces - my personal favorite is the peppercorn sauce!). Aside from these, if you are not too hungry given that the fondues can be heavy, they have several other swiss dishes that are worth trying. For appetizers, you MUST get their raclette. The cheese is melted perfectly, not too soft and not too hard. I would eat more than one if my wallet could afford it! There's also the Fresh Corned Beef which is a good break from those canned corned beefs. Lastly, the Peppersteak Swiss inn, which as I mentioned earlier has my favorite peppercorn sauce.

Do you remember the first time you tried oysters raw? This is my first, but this is just nearly…read moreraw. I actually prefer it well done, so I'll see to it that it is on my next visit. I'll certainly pay Chateau a second, third, fourth visit. It's a great place to be! I was there last January (2019), during their "soft" launch, and we all know how soft launch gives every staff the excuse to be less efficient than the customers deserve. Anyway, the place was just awesome especially at night, a change in staff (all of them) solves all the awkward moments during that first visit. Anyway, going back to my oysters. I like it really well done, even though it's pretty easy to know when oysters arent good - because they stink and taste aweful. Better be safe than sorry because the only way to kill all the bacteria living inside an oyster, which by the way can be fatal, is to properly cook it. While I'm a little paranoid about shells, particularly oysters, there's something about oysters that's sort of "addictive". It's the first item I look for on the menu, and when it's there, it's definitely going to be on the table. The difference between the oysters from Chateau 1771 and the prior oysters that equally melted my heart is this: they sit on colored stones instead of rock salt. That's it! It's like Catriona winning the Bb Pilipinas and then later Miss Universe. It's the same oyster but a grander "packaging" and presentation instantly changed the way we feel about it. Chateau's oyster was more satisfying, more beautiful, more exciting. My oyster experience here was certainly a happier one.

I have been here multiple times before since this is one of my brother's go-to Japanese restaurant…read more I can definitely understand why with the quality food, good service and good price. 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!

No wonder this is also the favorite restaurant of our dear President. Says a lot about his taste in food! While I usually frequent their Pasay Road branch (where President Aquino usually dines), I find this branch a lot bigger and perhaps a lot cleaner. The food is practically the same so I find myself eating more frequently here. However, I was quite shocked to find out about the jacked up prices of my favorite eel set meal. While I do understand how difficult and expensive it must be to get a hold of and cook eel, one bite of this dish and the price is always worth it. There is perhaps no other restaurant that offers eels as yummy as this. Thanks to President Aquino for the reco!

I don't kid…read morebecause every time I eat there, (and I eat there a lot,) there always seems like something new for me to try. The first time I read about natto, I was equal parts intrigued and disgusted by it. Given that, the one thing I was totally sure of was I had to try it. Until I came across Nihonbashitei, this bummed me out because I couldn't find a place in the metro that served it. If you're an adventurous eater looking for new Japanese dishes to try, you're going to love this place. Even if you aren't that fond of much outside the staples like sushi, yakitori, and katsu, you're still going to enjoy yourself because everything on the menu is a treat. Cheers!

If you're actually here to try out what Century Tsukiji has to offer, you're in for a treat. While Century Tsukiji is a bit off the beaten path (and not exactly the best of neighborhoods), their resident sushi expert Chef Yamazaki will make the trip worth your while. Try getting a nigiri set which is a varied assortment of sushi expertly prepared by Chef Yamazaki himself. You can watch from the counter how he meticulously prepares each piece, as he skillfully finds the perfect balance between the vinegared rice, fresh seafood, and just a dash of wasabi to add that extra oomph. I got the set that has 17 different kinds of sushi, but you can just order the ones you like. I suggest you widen your horizons, though!

Even they had been coming around since they were young, so that counts for something. And it is pretty easy to see the reason behind its longevity: their food is incredibly authentic. Always, the rice. That steaming hot, sticky, kamameshi, delivered to your table in that pot, with its ground chicken crown. Toss it around, and serve yourself some of that soft stuff. And if you thought the experience was over, think again: you still have the bits of rice that stuck to the metal pot, and got crispy ("tutong" in Filipino) to scrape off. Aahhh, burnt carbohydrates. So good. Everything goes best with tempura, chicken terriyaki, and if you're into it, liver terriyaki.

My dad told me that he's been eating there since the 80's when he was still a student at DLSU and that the quality of their food and service never faltered through the years. I came with my family so I got to try some of their sushi as well as their amazing Katsudon (the egg was creamy and the pork extra tender), the piping hot and delicious Sukiyaki, the juicy Chicken Teriyaki and the crispy Ebi Tempura. All of the dishes were exceptional but what made our meal perfect was their famous Kamameshi (literally translate to "kettle rice"), which is their specialty. We ordered the Gomoku Kamameshi, which was a mixed rice and the Kani Kamameshi and both were extra flavorful and filling.

I had high hopes for Nobu Manila's Valentine's Omakase, but the experience fell short of its…read more"high-end" reputation. For a PhP 6,500/head dinner, I expected seamless service and premium quality, neither of which were fully realized. The Ambience: We arrived at 4:30 PM for the 5:00 PM seating, only to find no staff at the front desk and no lounge area for early arrivals. The place was literally closed and opened on the dot, 5pm! The lack of a dress code (there was a diner in shorts) and the non-festive music made it feel like a casual Tuesday rather than a special occasion. While the varnished wood tables look nice, they lack the refinement of fine dining; condensation from drinks pooled easily on the surface. The Service: Despite the restaurant being only half-full, the wine service was sluggish there were multiple times when I had to think if the staff was expecting me to stand up and grab the bottle of wine and pour it to the glass myself, there was even a time when the staff attempted to clear my plate while my wife was still eating--a basic fine-dining faux pas. The Food: This was the biggest letdown. The crackers tasted stale, the lobster bisque lacked body, and the squid sushi was bland. Most disappointing were the mains: the fish skin was rubbery, and the Wagyu was overpowered by an overly tangy sauce. Even the desserts felt repetitive in flavor. It's hard to recommend this Omakase when the execution doesn't match the price point.
