It's a nice place for some Yakiniku. The ambiance is nice and feels close to authentic but it gets kinda hot when you stay there too long, I don't think their AC is strong enough. But in terms of service, they are fast and staff is friendly. The food is good too (depending on how you cook as well).
I liked the place with the dim lighting & shoes-off-when-you-eat kind of thing. However, it can get a bit hot inside (I mean what do you expect? Each table, including yours, is cooking meat. Like duh. Haha)
They serve a variety of meat which you can grill on your table but they also have ready-to-eat dishes for the lazy cookers.
Just make sure to order everything beforehand because their staff is not very attentive & service is quite slow. It took us four follow-ups just to get our drinks. LOL
Oh, and they don't have a lot of choices for dessert.. just ice cream which you can scoop yourself. Available in 4 flavors: mango, chocolate, vanilla & ube.
But would I come back? Hmm, yeah probably.
their food is something that prompted me of going back again and again..
however.. staffs are not as friendly 😊...hope that they could show more genuine smiles and greetings
By far, the best yakiniku in Cebu. Although sometimes, service can be quiet slow due to the number of waiters/waitress and the number of diners. But I love how everything is served at your table and you don't have to walk around buffet tables. Sashimi is fresh and as well as other seafood that they serve. Can't wait to go back to this place.
Aside from the dirty old Japanese guys who hit on you and rub your back, this place is really good for an Eat all you can. Affordable price and the beef isn’t so bad. Good for big events.

When you enter the restaurant, you will feel the Japanese atmosphere almost immediately. From our experience, some waitresses would greet you in Japanese. The setting and ambiance also feels accurately like the ones you see on TV. If not for the Filipino faces you see around, you’d actually feel like you’re in a foreign country.
We ordered Prawns (Kibi Yaki), Short Rib Soup (Karubi Soup), Fried Rice (Chakan), Angus Beef (Marinated and not Marinated), Marinated Chicken, Mixed Sushi, Kimchi, and Plain Rice. For our drinks, we ordered their Iced Tea.
We’ve been through other Korean, Japanese, and Asian Fusion restaurants, but this by far, is our favorite Kimchi. We love how it leaves a certain kick of spiciness that doesn’t stay long enough to burn your mouth. Just perfectly balanced flavors and freshness. We personally love eating this with any meat or rice.
We personally think this might not be the best Japanese restaurant there is, but we can honestly say that this is one of the first place we would go to if we suddenly had the urge to eat some Yakiniku in Cebu.
Surely would recommend this place to people who are deciding between unlimited authentic Korean and Japanese foods. Even though its unlimited the quality of the food would not be compromised. From the angus beef, sashimis, makis, and to there ramens, EVERYTHIS IS GOOOD
Would give 5 stars but the place is kinda hot and smoky cause of poor ventilation.
TIP: Arrive early so that the servers will not be busy yet and can cater you diligently. 👌👍
The food is great! the meat is seasoned well, you don't need to dip it in a sauce. I love their angus beef and squid. I love it here! We will definitely come back for more!
Food:
My favorite, slightly, affordable eat-all-you can in Cebu. Everything tastes great. And the choices are excellent. I think you'd have to come back to taste everything. Hope they'll add more sashimi and maki dishes dishes.
Place:
The place was adequately comfortable, however their exhaust seems to be too weak to suck out all t smoke, so it expect to smell smokey afterwards.
Staff:
Service is sloooooooow. They're quite understaffed or overworked, because most of the staff seems to be unhappy or unwilling to serve you and we're hiding. I hope they improve on this. Best technique is to order everything you want at one go, so you don't have to wait that long.
The good thing about the meat and seafood that you grill at Wakamatsu is that it's been seasoned quite well by their kitchen staff, giving it quite a delicious taste after you've cooked it. They also offer sashimi and sushi rolls. However, they are often out of salmon, and for many people, the reason for choosing a japanese restaurant is the salmon selection. It's a bit disappointing to have a rather small selection of maki. Their ramen is not quite good as it has been adapted to suit the Filipino type of noodle soup and therefore not recommended if you were looking for that authentic japanese ramen taste. Their service is often slow and you'd have to remind the servers again and again to follow up on your order. As for the place, the ambience is nice and gives a japanese feel to where you are.
