A place I'm always happy to come back to.
Cafe Egao has a cozy, cluttered-in-a-nice-way kind of ambiance. They serve a mix of Japanese and local food. I was craving for their cheese sticks, so I went back last night for the 3rd time this month with my son.
But last night's dining experience with them was amazing. I forgot to advise the staff that I don't eat pork, so they served the bihon I ordered with pork. When the owner heard that about it, he quickly instructed the staff to prepare another order of bihon. And they didn't charge me extra for it!
I didn't expect they'd do that, so I was surprised and really thankful.
I'll keep going back until I'm able to make up for that one act of kindness.
There is a Japanese owner"Mr. Zushi"here.
Since he sources seasonings and some food material from Japan, there is a menu where you can have a meal that resembles the true taste of Japan. If you want the sub shelf, you can get him advice and choose a menu.
Japanese owned cafe. Very cute and nice place to chill... there are books, too, like a mini library + cafe all in one. The food there is delicious and it's also affordable. I would love to go back there.
A twist of Japanese & Filipino! The place is cozy. Good food. Their staff were really nice, they explain the dishes in their menu to you if you're not sure what to order. Hehe. Love their coffee! Plus, they also serve alcoholic drinks if you wanna have a booze with your friends while listening to the live band. Great place to hang out.

This place has that home vibe, there's internet but it really encourages you to talk to whom you're with. The people there is really nice, humble, friendly and they greet you in japanese...
Their origibal shop was Small and quaint but with a homey feel. The food is still a two thumbs up gor me and the drinks is also very delish! They are actually expanding so yes it can accomodate more people.

Want to take some peaceful time off your daily routine? This cozy Japanese café is the perfect place to visit, seemingly much closer to nature but still in the heart of Cebu City (Talamban)!
The front of the cafe is covered in glass so it can get moody at night (and when it rains) which is something I love! The perimeter is carefully lined with potted and tall plants so you still definitely get the ~~Osaka feels~~. I like the fact that there are only a few tables available. It feels warm and closer to the heart, minimising the chances of getting noisy groups on the next table. :p
It makes it much more appealing and interactions feel more personal and sincere. I have only taken a few people at a time there and these are people I value.
FOOD
They have the best cold noodles, anywhere!
I am in love with their pastas too! Carefully made and well thought of! I have enjoyed their carbonara and penne pasta more than in authentic italian restaurants in Cebu!
If you’re used to the American way of food preparation (obesity promoting) sugary lifestyle and bombarded with sweeteners then you might not enjoy their Shaved Ice. But i do! The sweetness is just right and not overwhelming. The key there is balance and this is what this place offers.
The place is owned by a japanese man and his filipina wife. Lovely people. If you come too often you might get to see the Japanese man brew offee with a tiny gold kettle which is quite interesting to watch! You know they serve authentic too because this place is frequented by Japanese people old and young!
The best place to eat affordable authentic Japanese food. Excellent customer service and very friendly. The food is good especially their okonimiyaki and cold ramen. I hope they will add more on their menu.
For me this place is my personal favorite, it reminds of home. The food they served are well seasoned. My favorite part about this cafe is that they never used complex kitchen tools in preparing your food and beverages. Especially there coffee, you can observe how they are brewing it in an old fashion way. Over all, this is the most unique cafe you can visit.
