    Had to try this new place. It was located in SM mall. We came during lunch and of course, there are long lines. Very popular place. We waited about 20 minutes so it was not too bad. We were a group of 5 so this place is good for big groups. Place is noisy, not good for dates, crowded , modern and busy! You can order from the computer screen at the table or from the server. It was pretty easy with pictures. Everything was pretty good except, I was not a fan of the Salmon sashimi as it was thin and the 'Katsu Toji Jyu' as this was mushy. We ordered: Ratings 1-5 Mango shakes (5) Choco Banana shake (2) tasted weird, like medicine! Gyoza (5) Salmon Sashimi (3) Salmon Aburi Roll (5) Salmon roll (4) Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen (5) pretty spicy for mild!! Chicken Namban Teishoku (5) Pork katsu (5) nice and crispy on outside and juicy on inside! Chicken Katsu Teishoku (5) nice and crispy on outside and juicy on inside! Katsu Toji Jyu (2) mushy! Sweet and Savory Tori Katsu Toji (3) Mushy, ok flavor... Food came out pretty fast. Friendly service. You can pay with the server or on the computer screen. You are limited to how long you dine so be aware. I would come back to try other things. There are more choices but I have my faves. I know what to get next time! [32R,2024]

    The place is clean, very professional and friendly staff. The environment and aroma is just perfect to end your day. The restaurant is located in a SM mall perfect for shopping and dining after. The food was good and the presentation was greater. Mostly the service the highlights this evening. I highly recommend.

    Our memorable experiences were the touchscreen interface for ordering whatever we wanted, plus the heavy food servings! Everything tasted delicious including the cold tea. Sometimes there is a queue outside especially during peak hours, but it is definitely worth the wait!

    When you come in the place is so clean. Fast service. Very good Japanese food. Restaurant''s also have an electronic ordering or thru the waiter's standing by to help you out.

    Yummy!

    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.
