    Beef udon noodle

    We ordered the spicy tuna roll, beef udon noodles, shrimp tempura and salmon taco. The spicy tuna roll was just overwhelming with the amount of extra crunch it had on it. It is of my opinion adding so much crunch indicates the tuna quality isn't all that great, since if it were then highlight the fish, don't mask it. The beef udon were slightly salty, but cooked perfectly. The shrimp tempura was the highlight, the breading wasn't too thick and paired with a good vinegar based sauce. The salmon taco was meh, no flavor.

    The service was great. Smart and pleasant personnel were ready to assist and take orders. The ambiance was regular but the food offerings is where this restaurant excels. It is not your regular or ordinary traditional Japanese food. It is that and more! It serves a Japanese fusion cuisine that makes the food come with a slight twist manifested in additional ingredients or way of serving. It is worth to try for the unique gastronomic experience that is out of this world.

    I like the vibe and the energy of this place, friendly and attentive staffs. It's more sushi with different mix and blend of mayo, just tiny portion of fish and a lot of rice in a roll. Taste is ok. Not bad. I think it's created for the Filipino palate. Busy place so make sure to be here early. Queue usually forms on weekends and holidays.

    Cute little japanese restaurant. The food is good quality and very creative. The presentation is amazing. We came on a Monday and it was crowded, so it seems to be a popular spot. The food tasted really good, and I would likely recommend it to a friend however I can't say it's a restaurant I feel I need to visit every time I'm in the area (i'm not from the philippines). Definitely a must-try, though. One of the better restaurants I've tried. We got the aburi mixer & the unagi don.

    I've landed 3 weeks ago in the Philippines and I've just visited Ooma again for the 6th time tonight and I was EXTREMELY disappointed. I would always come with my family or friends and I'll be ordering the same usual "Katsudon" with side sushi/gyoza/udon orders. Tonight, we ordered Tori Karaage, Ebi Tempura, Oyudon, Oyakudon, Katsudon and Buta Kakuni Udon for 5 people. First thing I realized was that the prices went up approximately by 20% with a newly designed menu. When the food arrived, I was excited as I thought I got to taste the same flavours that I enjoyed last time but: 1. Tori Karaage was in smaller portion and it was a bit too salty. 2. Gyūdon's beef became thinner; too salty and sweet. 3. Katsudon's pork was too DRY. Extremely dry, in fact, I finished a few glasses of water to rehydrate myself. Also, there was a hint of sourness from the pork that wasn't there on my previous visits. 4. Oyakodon was average. Although, there was also the same hint of sourness in the chicken, similar to what the pork had from Katsudon. 5. Ebi Tempura; it was our first time ordering it, just wanted to comment on the batter as it was TOO THICK and was soaking in oil. Japanese tempura is supposed to be light and fluffy, but this ain't it. Overall, no problem with the service, although we had to stand up to take menus and remind a few times regarding our food but I understand as it was peak hours. In the end, their superior explained to us regarding the adjustment in prices and recipes as it wasn't only effective in their outlet, but as a whole, after we gave our feedback. She also explained that we weren't the first customers to voice out and mentioned that even the staffs had the same comment as us regarding the food. She kindly took my name and contact and I hope that I receive a message from them regarding our experience. I didn't get to take photos as it wasn't an enjoyable moment but here's the receipt and a photo of the Oyakodon. We've also purchased their Moment Card as we visit their restaurant quite often and other partners eateries, but I am now having second thoughts on dining at Ooma again. I hope that Ooma Management fixes this as soon as possible.

    Soft shell crab maki
    Jem D.

    I wanted to try this place since it opened in BGC. Dropped by THREE times and they were always closed due to kitchen maintenance with no estimated time they can function. Really? Did try to takeout rolls as well another time I had a Japanese craving-- failed again. No take out rule. I guess that's acceptable but it added a bit of my frustration! So anyway, one eventful day... got there by 11:30 before the lunch crowd piled up. Ordered the salmon skin aburi (tiny) and soft shell crab maki (huge!!). Both had good crunch, not your usual panko chunks to add texture- different spin on sushi but either weren't a stand out. I'm not fond to pair my maki with soy sauce but tried theirs and doesn't seem to taste like your ordinary kikkoman, pretty tasty on its own. Would revisit to try the uni donburi which looked good.

    Great and Delicious Japanese food. Definitely a new yummy twist on the traditional makis and donburis. Better come early since the line can be long at times. Service is also good. Price is reasonable.

    Variety of aburi maki, meaning torched sushi rolls

    Very unique sushi eating experience. Coming from the states I'm very accustomed to the AYCE sushi style. But my cousins and I enjoyed this fusion style restaurant so much! The servers were very well knowledgeable on the menu and were very helpful in recommending items for us. BGC is a very condensed area and we were there during summer so beware the long wait times! I wouldn't want to take groups here very often as group eating tends to take longer. Also a little crowded on the main dining floor so it tends to get extra loud. Sake definitely helped us to forget about that during our dining experience. All in all a great place for a dinner catch up!

    Looks impressive on the outside. Food mediocre. Small servings. No house tea. Service so so. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    I was famished when I visited so I ordered their Aburi Mixer, Hanger Steak, and Beef Udon for food and an iced tea for my refresher.

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.
