Based on the 3 star ratings I really didn't expect anything too exceptional but I was pleasantly surprised by these two dishes! The diced steak was juicy and tender, and had the perfect amount of fat which melted in my mouth with every bite. I really liked how they cooked it, I would totally order it again if I ever come back to Manila. Hiyashi shabu salad udon too was a big hit among us, we loved the sesame mayo sauce they used. Yakitori set wasn't bad either, but they were just average. Overall I think this is an OK choice for someone who want decent Japanese food at not so stuffy environment. The ambiance is casual and the price is reasonable.

It was hardest not being able to eat sushi and maki. Naturally, I wanted to have Japanese food as soon as I could. We decided to try Hanakazu and ordered several items. They seated us in the inner, enclosed part of the restaurant and for our convenience, provided our table a bell we can ring when we need to call on a server. First, we had a cup each of miso soup, which I liked because I am particularly fond of seaweed and theirs had more than the usual amount. Then, the five of us shared an order of kani salad, futo maki, tuna maki, California maki, and an order of their 5-piece shrimp tempura. Considering I only had one serving each, I was actually a bit full by the time we finished eating. I particularly liked the tuna maki, mainly because there was a big slice of tuna and there was actually the same amount of tuna (if not more) versus the rice in the roll. Overall, I enjoyed myself and would probably go back when I can splurge on the toro tuna sashimi, which is what they are most known for.

This place does not accept reservations, So best to have someone in the party go earlier to queu for a table, they will seat you as long as half of the party has arrived. Tried to Kani Salad, good for sharing, I liked the sauce, they did not use the typical mayo dressing but they used the yakiniku sauce. The Soft Shell Crab Taco-Maki is the BOMB. Yum Yum Yum.Also the tried Spicy Tuna Maki and the Ebi Tempura Maki both delicious as well. Got a taste of my friends Gyudon, another Thumbs Up. The service needs to be improved though, waiters are not too attentive when customers call them. Other than that, I've come back for more of their delicious Japanese Dishes.

We started with chicken karaage and edamame. Karaage was a bit overdone. Edamame came with a spicy sauce similar to the karaage. Next, we had the salmon Aburi and it was delicious and came on a grill. Nice presentation. Tuna sashimi was fresh. The best one is the steak garlic. The steak was tender and very tasty. Place is on the main walkway of the mall so it was a bit noisy. Staff were friendly and effecient.

It is located inside Newport Mall and once you walk in, you will experience the vibe when if you go and eat in any dining place in Japan. For my meal, I tried their tuna sashimi, shrimp tempura and spicy miso ramen. All of these dishes satisfied my pallete and did not disappoint. The dishes are a bit pricey but you get the authenticity of a real Japanese meal.

I loved that they had set family meals which is a great addition to the menu for bigger parties. Our family meal consisted of a variety of food items including sushi rolls, ramen and japanese style beef. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. I would definitely recommend visiting here if in the area and we will definitely return once we are able to come back to visit again.

The servers try their best but the food is served out of order, the apetizers came towards the middle of what else I had ordered and so did the cocktail. And as I feared with cheap places, the wasabi was a little ball, as if someone took the time and roll it. No wasabi is not served in little ball shapes, and it wouldn't dissolves in the soy sauce. Also there was no ginger/gari given with the sashimi and nigiri I ordered. At least they had sashimi and traditional nigiri and gunkan on the menu, and not some weird fusion stuff. The fish used was good. And for some reason, the Shrimp tempura was greasy, not sure if they used sesame oil or not but it sure was greasy. They used the right batter at least and it was crunchy, but yah my fingers were greasy. The assorted yakitori was OK, but it's as if someone dipped, not basted them in tare after being grilled not during. But there were no grill marks on the skewers. Final thoughts, people at the other tables were even taking pics of their food, not knowing that it wouldn't pass to a Japanese person or someone who knows Japanese food. Like the time a Pinoy chef introduced hard shell tacos as traditional Mexican lol. Food is OK, but please get someone to supervise who knows about Japanese food.

The service is inconsistent and servers have absolutely no interest in actually remembering the orders! Get a notepad! Appetizers came out later than main courses, drink orders not filled and I had to cancel my order because it just never came after an hour waiting. Oh, and by the way, when a person is in a wheelchair don't put them in an area where they have to go up and down a series of stairs. Not customer friendly at all, which made otherwise tasty food NASTY.

It's usually always better quality and tasty. Im not talking about japan good which is always a 10/10 but this was more like a 8/10 and the pricing made it 9/10 lol. There was not a negative thing I could say about the times I visited and ate lol my husband did I am sure get tired of it. He's more into Filipino food of course but usually if you grow up in the provinces food like this place isn't a daily or weekly thing so for him he got tired of it quickly lol I went to the one at MOA near the road entrance and the location at SM Baguio and both were fantastic! You do not have to talk to anyone lol which is more of my style. You click and choose what you want on the TV screen and it comes out to you. If it is a drink or larger item like a soup, they will hand deliver it but it's a quick drop and go kind of thing. There is a hot water spout at your table with matcha (which isn't the best grade) but it works lol Air con worked, it was never really "busy" when we went. Only a few tables but I'm sure it's because everyone was working at the times when we went.

Plus, their portions are pretty large too to the point some of my friends couldn't finish their bowls of Katsudon. I ordered their chicken curry rice--my favorite fusion of Indian and Japanese flavors--and my only downside on this is that they didn't serve the chicken in Katsudon (breaded chicken strips) form which I was half expecting. Otherwise, it tastes exactly how it should be. We also got gyoza, maki, and sushi which we shared among the group. Their Ebi-ten (Tempura) wasn't disappointing because serving size was enough for about 4-5 people to share. I will definitely come back to Tatsunoko, and it's one of the hidden food trip gems at B.F homes.

We went here January 2, so there were only 2 of them working the tables. Food came out the kitchen quite fast.

Other than that, their gyoza, miso soup, eggplant with bonito flakes and ebi tempura were great- a true bang for your buck meal. At least the shrimp tasted fresh. Our meal for two only cost us Php 500+! We skipped ordering sushi as we noticed roll it with lots of rice.
