Seryna at the entrance of Little Tokyo Makati is our top japanese restaurant in Manila!Why??? here are just some of the obvious reasons why i am so convinced about this 'homise'.The food is "top quality"! never mind the presentation (which is also very commendable by the way) just take note of the "choice" cuts used for each element of the sashimi mix. I remember when I was having our usual 'sirashi bento' over at the sushi bar one lunchtime with my wife, I witnessed how the japanese sushi chef went thru maybe 2-3 whole slabs of raw tuna and inspected it as if he were checking a cut diamond for the 3 C's! Eventually, he discarded 1 whole slab, which to me looked perfectly fine. And then was astounded as he started cutting the second slab... he paused, then discarded it as well! whoa! So on to the third and final slab.. which the sushi chef eventually cut into his standards of tuna sashimi was finally served to various customers.
This Bento meal certainly is good enough for two people, and priced at just under PHP400! Another thing is that it's the only restaurant I have seen around Manila that incorporates art in the overall architecture, which in turn ends up as part of the 'homise' furniture. Imagine, what looks like a sculpture made up of large casted steel bars at the restaurant's facade , crawls inside and acts as the roof decoration. Then further extends downward towards the suhsi bar area and eventually becomes the seats or bench for the customers there! Amazing!!!!
Just another satisfied couple....
