    Chicken Paitan Udon & Tempura
    Patrick U.

    We had to try this self-service udon restaurant because it strongly reminded us of our experience at Japan, though a different name. (To know the flow of how things work, the menu explains everything at the bottom.) Since we had early dinner, the queue outside was short so waiting time was reasonable. Upon entry, we grabbed trays and plates, ordered our specific dishes, and grabbed some tempura. After payments, we went to the condiment section. At this point, I suggest getting the "tempura crumbs" especially for soup-type orders. At the table, we requested a pitcher of water. Chicken Karaage: It's fried chicken on a stick and really tasty with good skin. Chicken Paitan Udon: It's good! The texture of the noodles is perfectly soft and slightly chewy. It's fun to sip loudly to express our enjoyment of their food. The tempura crumbs add a crunchy texture, and surprisingly, they stay crunchy for a long time Mentai Kamatama Udon: I don't know what this means, but it was delicious anyway! It was first time mixing an egg with hot noodles but no soup. Nikutsuke Udon: We also had this cold type of udon noodles. It's also just as good as the paitan so hot and cold are equally great choices. The meat serving is very different from the picture in their menu; they give less though it's just right. Tempura: At P60 a piece, it made me ponder for a while. My tummy then overrides my thinking and we bought 2 pieces! :) They were good! A variety of tempura is available so if you want to linger away from shrimp, they have, for example, fish. Zucchini Tempura: I accidentally dropped it into the tempura sauce, which had ginger, making the flavor too strong. Let's just say it was good when the dips were still moderate. The sizes varied so we grabbed the biggest one we saw! The Practice & Service: We're perfectly satisfied. The mere fact that the menu already explains how you should return the trays after eating..it encourages good habits for customers. (Clean-As-You-Go/CLAYGO concept) One customer didn't do it; disappointing. However, our server insisted he take care of our trays, which was kind of him though we were excited to self-bus. Recommendation Points: + food quality + service time + good-habit-forming + affordability (as compared to most places along Boni High Street) + friendliness of staff/good energy (August 2017)

    First time here. The food was amazing -- really tasty and vegan/vegetarian friendly. The best…read moreJapanese restaurant I've ever been to -- food was fresh, servings were big enough to share, and prices were fair. Staff were very friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the food came out quickly. Loved the unique and refreshing drinks too. Great job!

    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!

    This Japanese restaurant joins the big leagues such, as Seryna, Izakaya Kikufuji, Umu at Dusit, and…read moremany more. But your perception may vary, as my reviews are mostly from the southern region of Metro Manila. FOOD 5.0 Nama Uni Sashimi (420 PHP) Sea Urchin or sea hedgehogs are those spikey things that I always think about avoiding when going to the beach But, I love them on my plate, It is very sweet and delicate, and it tastes like the sea smells, with a soft, almost creamy texture. A 3-step process starts with a piece of Nori (seaweed wrap), then a slice of cucumber, a hefty plump of uni on top, close it off and surprise your mouth with a taste of the sea. Tofu Gratin (395 PHP) Shrimp flavoured white sauce that's smothered with cheese and lots of it. The gooey feels were just too strong and I couldn't but scrape the pan clean. Every spoonful is a renewed experience, so it doesn't get boring. Assorted Sushi (720 PHP) Their hot dishes overwhelmed our taste buds with clean flavours, which led us to unintentionally ignore this initially. Sushi pieces that are above average in size and offer a refreshing taste. Beef Sukiyaki Iron Hot Pot (530 PHP) Beef Sukiyaki that's filled with a rich broth flavoured by the tender smoked beef. This is a dish to remember and one of the items I will recall and recommend. Tonpei Yaki (430 PHP) A Japanese style Frittata topped with extremely thin slice pork that wiggles from displaced air around it. It looked alive upon my first glance. You'd be wrong to think that these paper thin slices of pork wont satisfy, because flavour is not in volumes, but in density. These melt in your mouth and just release flavour that you'd usually encounter in chunky portions of pork. I for one enjoyed less weight and more flavour. The frittata underneath is fairly standard. SERVICE 4.5 Waiters take pride in the food they serve, we were even prompted to taste the Tofu Gratin first as it's tastiest when hot. They're informative when guiding you through the menu and suggest based on your taste and not the most expensive like in other places. AMBIANCE 4.5 I love places that impress on ambiance and Mangetsu surely did. High ceilings and even a second floor for private functions, this place is well decorated and spacious. Air-conditioning is centralised, which means an evenly cooled environment.

    Interior aspect makes us feel high sense and quality, but actually foods served there are nothing…read morespecial. Maybe good for business purpose of use.
