Hungry? Hangry? Or feeling empty? Maybe you just need to eat something worth it!
In the busy streets of Metro Manila, you can always find good-tasting food. Depending on your mood, taste, and budget, you can always find one near your place. And there are the most popular and well-loved food chains with over a hundred branches out there that can quench your thirst and satisfy your cravings.
But sometimes, when you’re too lazy to drive far, you just want to stick within your radar. Going to your nearest mall with lots of food choices is always a good idea! However, as much as you want to fulfill your cravings like eating your chicken thigh with its oozing juiciness and gravy, you already hate the idea of long lines at the counter and waiting tables.
Then you’ll either end up eating your favorite dish after the waiting game, (It is always worth it! We know!)or you’ll just settle with eating your not-so-favourite food at your not-so-favourite restaurant.
But even with hesitations, you’re willing to try new restaurants and fulfill a particular craving! So considering the taste, value for money, and proximity, we’ve got some suggestions for your next restaurant trip.
For our first Munch trip — Try Yoshinoya!
ATMNL: “The restaurant that looks expensive but it isn’t!”
The review:
**Some dishes — needs improvement.
1. Noodles – Not ideal to try for the first timers. When my mom tried their ramen, she wasn’t able to finish it and she gave an average rating when I asked her about the taste. My niece and I also tasted it and yup, it tastes like your average ramen (maybe because we’ve already tried some of the best-tasting ramen around the Metro or that’s just how it is — not our preferred dish atm). But if you want to try, go for it!
2. Coffee Jelly –It tastes average, too! Maybe they can improve their recipe. The sweetness of the whipped cream and chocolate syrup doesn’t compliment the espresso-like jelly. They went a bit too literal with that approach! (Sorry, just not that fond of it!)
Pros:
You can get their solo meal at P179 – an authentic Beef Gyudon, coffee jelly and your choice of iced tea (green or red tea). While they also have a platter for sharing – Good for 2 to 3 pax with a choice of beef or pork with veggies.
2. The ambiance is delightful and refreshing (with good background music!) Their color scheme – orange and green – and lots of Japanese decorations like origami will surely entice customers to take snapshots while enjoying their food.
Branch in particular: The SM Fairview branch (at the Annex) is clean, well-ventilated, and spacious. The location is perfect for solo shoppers who want to enjoy me-time, to parents waiting for kids since it’s just near the kid play areas, to couples, and to families, too! Aside from that, their comfort room is clean!
4. Food service is quick! Unlike other restos that serve as quick as if they’re serving 30 or more customers! 😜 Service water and condiments are neatly arranged andavailable near the counter.
