I went out of the office and went straight to SM Aura to look for something to eat. I went straight to the food court and remembered that I wanted to try Teppanyaki Brothers since it opened. Upon seating, you will order at the cashier table. The set up is more like a bar-type and your food will be prepared in front of you. Not that cooking type, I got amazed with how they prepare everything fast. I just hope that they add more sauce on my chicken set. Will definitely be back to try other sets.

In Japan, when you dine in these types of restaurants, the customer turnover is fast, making room for a new batch of hungry salary-folk on lunch break. Of course, in the Philippines, we are used to chatting and catching up with friends while eating, so our restaurants are rarely set up like this. I like that Teppanyaki Brothers here in SM Aura tries to introduce this Japanese-style fast food experience. The food is okay too, though I think it's because I was expecting a different kind of pepper sauce when I ordered the beef in pepper sauce meal. Next time, I'll try the beef steak and the salmon and shrimp. Do you know that feeling when you eye the food other people around you have ordered and you wondered why you didn't get that? Yup, that's why I'm coming back!

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.

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!

I'll preface this review by saying that no, this restaurant isn't the one you're probably looking…read morefor. That one is in Makati along Pasay Road, and the food costs a queen's ransom. 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!

Service from wait staff is great. They've narrowed down the busy restaurant workflow. I will of course recommend eating here when you have a chance, otherwise ordering online is ok too!

My favorites were the appetizers like kani salad, salmon sashimi, the dynamite roll, and especially the light and crispy shrimp tempura. We were all so satisfied by the end of our meal.

Kimpura used to be seen as the highest end Japanese restaurant.

Don't get me wrong: Kimpura isn't bad. It just doesn't stand out anymore in terms of uniqueness, freshness and quality of it's offerings. And for the prices they charge and the reputation they have, you just expect more. Anyway, stopped by for lunch and got a bunch of stuff. The standouts were the complementary small fish (great salty sweet taste), the cold soba (nice texture to the noodles) and the unagi california maki (this dish I'd come back for with its great combination of flavours). Service was efficient. Space is packed but well laid out and has that old-school elegance. Didn't try the teppanyaki so maybe that's where Kimpura's glory days still live.

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!

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!
