Tonight's our first time and boy, do I have a lot of great things to say! :)
1. Service - I am quite particular with service and I must say that I am impressed with how accommodating and how important they would make their clients feels when dining in. The owners, Mr. Ralph and Ms. Vanessa together with Ms. Raquel and the staff were very much welcoming and made it a point that we were entertained and that we got top-notch service. You'd think a small place won't have such feel, but they are amazing! :)
2. Ambience - You get a feel of Japan but in a very non-intimidating, non-cheesy way. The interiors give a modern and classy feel. The music being played was good too.
3. Food - FANTASTIC!! :) The ramen we had was rich enough but it did not give that "umay" factor. The broth is filling and flavorful. The noodles were cooked perfectly! The flavors of the broth and the texture of the beef in the ramen gave happy feels. :) They gave very generous servings of veg and meat!
The gyoza was yummy! :) The filling wasn't sticky and it was "puno"!
The wagyu meal!!! Oh my goodness! The meat was tender, cooked right, seasoned well! :) I am a big carnivore and I like my meat (my beef!) cooked in a way that I would taste the meat and the seasonings would just highlight the flavor and Kaijo did not disappoint on that aspect! :) Even if you dipped it in any of the three sauces, you would still taste the meat! That is something I look for when I eat steaks in particular. Going back to the sauces, I fell in love with the mixture of the chili based sauce and the herbed mushroom sauce.
Upon learning that everything is made from scratch is just ����! No shortcuts and lovingly made and prepared made it taste even better! :)
4. Value for money - They are reasonably priced! It's not the kind of Japanese resto that would intimidate you because of the pricing. I love the fact that something such as wagyu here will be made available and accessible for most people without needing to pay crazy amounts of cash just to taste and experience.
Will I be back? Oh most definitely! ��� I had a great Kaijo experience tonight and I am going to make sure I come back for more greatness. :) Keep it up and all the best always. We'll see you soon! :)
Thanks for the Kaijo Steaks and Ramen experience...
It was a pre birthday celebration of my sister and decided to do it there after church. The wagyu steak (medium rare) is really great, it was served with 3 types of dipping sauce. We ordered 3 types of Ramen, enjoyed all of them especially Tantanmen and Seafood. We also tried kani salad, gyoza and katsudon. I personally like their own taste of gyoza. The place is really great, kudos for the staff for accommodating our request/s: a birthday is not complete without a cake so we brought one and have blown it there. We had a great time and definitely will be going back, no need to go and drive to other places just to satisfy our ramen and steak cravings.
Everytime I go visit a ramen shop, i go for Shio Ramen and Gyoza for the first time. A simple set of order, but with an amazing impact to check out the restaurant.
Firm noodles, not too salty broth. And the seared, soft pork blew away my breath! and the Gyoza was just right - not too burnt, crispy and mouth watering.
