They offer superior service as if I was in Japan. From the welcoming at the door upon exit to the Japanese koi pond and bridge.. I was spectaculary amazed. The menu had me drooling and so wished I couldve tasted a bit of everything. It's a place for big groups or for date night. The simplicity of the place and environment was calm. The food portions were perfect. I got the uni (sea urchin) roll with ika (squid). It was fresh! M husband got a spicy ramen bowl which was surprisingly spicier than what we would normally get for ramen but it had a superior flavor to its broth. My bento box offered me everything I wanted from the soba noodles, miso soup, crunchy assorted tempura, sashimi fish and assorted sushi. I fell in love with my dinner. The fish was crafted fresh and beautifully presented. I finished my meal with the green tea desert that had jellies, chocolate drizzle, mango and adzuki bean.. It was not overwhelming sweet and perfect for a palette cleanser to add to my refreshing meal. I loved how clean the restroom were..the womens restroom has the Japanese bidet which exemplified that this restaurant aims to please their customers with an overall experience that goes above and beyond.

The spicy ramen was just that, spicy, and was enjoyed thoroughly. It turned out to be a happy accident of discovering this spot. Be back soon.

My family loves it here. Some of the most authentic Japanese yakiniku you can get in Cebu. The…read moreservers are always attentive, they have great items on the menu, including imported drinks like sake and rice wine from Japan. Even with the way the tables are set up, you have the option to dine on a regular chair/table or like true Japanese restaurants where you're seated on the floor. It's easy to see why Japanese tourists love coming to dine here - it's an authentic yakiniku experience. That means they do serve Kobe beef on the menu! Unfortunately that also means, to those sensitive of the issue, smoking is allowed while dining. Other than that, the meat quality is top notch. You get what you pay for. That said, this is a little more on the pricey side. On average, according to my dad, it comes out to about P2k to P2.5k a person each time we come here. Well worth it, in my opinion.

Upon reading some reviews, I called to confirm their promotion where a birthday celebrant is complimentary. I called and advised that the birthday celebrant's birthday will be the following day but intend to celebrate it the day before. The man stated that as long as there were atleast 2 paying adults per 1 birthday celebrant, then indeed, they were complimentary. I asked to reconfirm and he stated, "yes, birthday month is ok". So off we went. I also notice that there was a 10% discount for checking in using yelp. We arrived at about 6:30 pm. I advised I called earlier on the day regarding the birthday promo and said the birthday girl was with us in tow. 5 adults in total. She then said oh there needs to be 6 of you for the birthday celebrant to be free. I said thats not what I was told earlier. So she went to ask some other male receptionist as I stated I spoke with a man earlier. Long story short, There was only 5 of us so depsite the wrong info, everyone was charged including the birthday girl. I then showed them the yelp check in promo then they stated it was expired. By then I was like what in the %$*!! Anyway at 740 per person weekday dinner, paying for one other person was not gonna break the bank. It was just disappointing that one has to mislead the public in order for people to eat here. They asked for the birthday girl's i.d., which we gave, and she still had to pay. *womp womp* What was the point of asking for her identification if you still weren't going to honor your promo. Now on to the food. Variety was way better than most other buffets in Cebu that I've tried. They had a mix of Filipino, Korean, Chinese, but mostly Japanese offerings. Everything I tasted was hot and flavorful. We opted to do hot pot but realized there was what they call a "mookata" (a heating utensil to cook both hotpot and yakiniku at the same time). Sadly, we only found out about the mookata at the end of the meal while sitting around trying to decide if we were gonna have another go at it. They also had a good selection of desserts that included my favorite, bread pudding. Their bread pudding was moist but lacked the custom bourbon or whisky sauce. It did have sauce though, just not sure what kind. The sushi had a different taste than what I've grown accustomed to. They added some kind of mushroom or something in one of their maki rolls. Haven't had that before (tasted strange). Their hot pot broth (we chose chicken) was seasoned a little salty but didn't mind it since we had veggies in there. Charge included drinks (even unlimited refills of San Miguel Beer, on tap) We asked for hot green tea, but stated it will be an additional 60 pesos added to the buffet price, but that you may have unlimited refills. I noticed at about 8:30ish the staff started putting up dinnerware. I thought they closed at 10 pm. *shrugs* I find it rude to be doing this while many patrons are still dining. Strange etiquette indeed. Despite the annoyance in the beginning, food quality was pretty good and even rivaled with hotel buffets. Should you need to call them, I advise to ask for the person's name of whom you spoke with before hanging up to avoid a similar situation I endured. However, Jennabeth (receptionist lady) was very professional and warm. She was apologetic at the end. (Thank you for that, Jennabeth!) Restroom stalls are super tiny in the lady's room. So just an fyi if your used to Texas standard size restroom stalls. They also had only one sink. Are we to wait in line whilst someone is doing there makeup in front of said sink?!? *rolls eyes* Free wifi, ask a waiter or waitress for the password. 20 pesos was charged for parking as you leave City Time Square.

Today was the day I decided to take a break, and decided to go to Tokyo Table in Tipolo, Mandaue City, Cebu City. It's a bit far from Cebu City, but if your in the area and looking for clean, pleasant place to have a nice meal with professional service this is the place. The presentation gives an aura of quality and the ambiance is very pleasant. The cuisine is primarily Japanese and is buffet style but they also offer the ability to barbecue your food, as well as Chinese Dim Sum dishes and the ability to make you own Vietnamese soup noodle dish called Pho. I have also head that they do not use MSG in their cooking since I am not fond of its use and despite that the food is still delicious in IMHO. During lunch hours, the dessert selection is limited to ice cream, halox2, and taho. But dinner time is when you get the full selection which includes creme brulee. Its a welcome sight to have a place like this in this part of town. If you are in the area, and are in the mood for asian cuisine specializing in Japanese.. definitely add this place to the list.

Our server was patient, explaining items in the menu that caught our eye with her incredible knowledge of their product.

My family had the Katsudon set, Gyudon set, ShrimpTempura, ramen, and grilled pork belly. Having been to Japan, they said the food here taste authentic. They were quite content with the size of the servings and happy with the modest price. I, on the other hand had the New Style Sashimi, considered a trademark dish, because I was curious. Each order comes with only four fish slices of tuna and whitefish (no salmon today) with hot olive oil poured on it to "cook" the fish a little. I ordered double. Invented by Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa, a Japanese celebrity chef. The dish was was good to the palate, but not too pleasing to the eyes. It looks like it came from a can of raw sardines. My mind associates olive oil and fish with sardines. I had to drain and wipe off the oil from the fish, and asked for soy sauce and wasabi. I'll stick to the traditional sashimi and won't be too adventurous with food next time..
