Ok today was the first time I heard of and tried this place and I am not disappointed!! They have a…read morewide selection of meals, plates, rolls, sashimi, tempura and more!! And it's all for very reasonable prices! I tried their ebi tempura and their salmon and cheese roll (very very filling if you're eating alone). And it's also really good! The flavors were really good and they were very generous with their servings! The ebi tempura was HUGE and the they served 8 rolls from one plate! Another ++ for this place is the fact that they serve your meal real quick!!!! My played arrived in less than 10 minutes!!! And my dad's spicy beef ramen arrived in 15mins. Just don't expect the service to look or act too nice cause you'll just be disappointed. But they give off that very Japanese feels with the cherry blossom inside, the sliding door and the furnitures. It's a great Japanese restaurant in the city! More authentic than Tsuru or Teriyaki Boy

3 curious girlfriends and I wanted to check out this Japanese-style eatery in Davao City on a…read moreweekday evening. Once we got there we had to wait just a little before being seated in an outdoor table with covering. This place is very similar to traditional Japanese street eateries but I wish there was more space, both indoor and outdoor. We were pretty much out on the street which can be a little dangerous, especially at night. We all ordered an array of beers, sushi rolls, appetizers, ramen and main dishes. Good for sharing! One of the rolls was pretty much 95% rice, but thankfully we had a variety of options to choose from. Probably the best Japanese street food you can find in Davao City! They also served complimentary hot tea. I'll be back! Kanpai

Tsuru used to be a really good authentic Japanese restaurant but now it's... Just another Japanese…read morerestaurant. The quality of the food isn't as good as it used to but I can't say the same for every dish. The sashimi slices are too thick and the staff keeps forgetting a dish or two from your order. They're also really slow and forget what you ask from them sometimes. And that's saying the restaurant isn't even THAT full. It's reasonably priced Japanese food. I would still suggest their rolls like their volcano roll. Their free miso soup that comes with some dishes like their tonkatsu is good! Just like the dish itself. If you're looking for really good authentic Japanese food, I wouldn't recommend this place. But if you're just looking for something Japanese to touch your palette for the day then Tsuru would do.

Sunahama is a new noodle/Japanese restaurant located at Mabini. It's not hard to spot cause it's…read moreright on the road and the complex is actually pretty familiar to fellow Davaoeños. While the place looks appealing and warm, the seats aren't comfortable (unless you're seated at their couch area). But the place is well lit and it's spacious enough for a good number of people to pop in but small enough to where waiters can attend to you ASAP. There's ample parking in the complex so you don't have to worry about that. About the food... it's okay... nothing great. My parents and youngest brother got noodles (tantanmen and miso noodles). The tantanmen has a strong flavor but it was sweet... I didn't like it because I honestly don't think sweet ramen should be a thing. It tasted weird in my mouth (like strawberry medicine). Their miso ramen was NOT miso. It was a strong pork broth (which was good) but it's totally misleading when you read it off the menu. I ordered tuna salad with some sweet dressing and it was good. Price wise... we paid around 150-300 per dish and it was okay... it wasn't lacking nor were they generous about the servings. Final verdict: it's not worth going back to. I would still

The options are not as wide as the other buffet places, but you do get your money's worth. The dishes were well-planned and was generously refilled. The fee comes with unlimited tea too. They serve a kind of warm herbal tea. If I were to guess, it had some camomile and other fragrant spices. It was refreshing. They served steamed purple rice, curried fish, lechon paksiw, chopsuey (with organically-grown vegfies from their own farm), fried spring roll, lato (seaweed) salad, eggplant in coconut milk, kinilaw na pork belly, and more. I liked tgeir cake dessert. It was a chiffon cake that looked a littke like cassava cake. It was not very sweet, whixh waa how I liked it. I found the sweetened banana Saba to be a little sweet. But I still enjoyed it.
