Ogetsu Hime

OYAKO ROLL

Finally found my go to Japanese restaurant. They balance creativity and taste without sacrificing quality and price. This place surpassed my expectations and is one of the handful of restaurants that I enjoy even after multiple visits.

FOOD  5.0  
SHAKE - Norwegian Salmon Sashimi (350 PHP)
succulent pieces of salmon that's worth every bite.

OYAKO SHAKE ROLL (240 PHP) #REYcommended
Salmon Tartare, Chives, Cream Cheese, rolled in crispy salmon skin, topped with a slice of salmon sashimi torched on top, and crowned with salmon roe for extra flavour that pops in your mouth. It was so good we ordered another one right after our first bite. MUST TRY!

EBI TEMPURA (360 PHP)
3 prawns breaded, deep fried, and served in a basket. It was crispy all right, but just don't expect a juicy prawn underneath. It's good as it gets for deep fried food.

MATSUSAKA ISHIYAKI (975 PHP)
Cooked table side on a hot stone plate, then sliced into cubes for your convenience. It meets the cut in meaty goodness, which is good once in a while. Will I order it again? Probably not, I'd rather have 4 orders of their delicious Oyako Rolls. Don't get me wrong - it's a great value, especially when their perpetually 50% off here. The meat is tender and juicy, but in my opinion lacks the meaty character of a nice charred steak, it's more like soft juicy cubes. If that's to your liking the this the meat for you.

SERVICE  5.0  
Great service that's included in the price. NO service charge!

AMBIANCE  5.0  
Their spacious table layout is relaxing and refreshing. Individual Male and Female restrooms area available at the rear of the restaurant. Teppanyaki tables along the center of the restaurant afford diners who seat along its perimeter get a display of culinary abilities of the cooks.
