My go-to- resto when Im craving Japanese dishes. I love their Spicy tuna! Though pricey but its worth it! Hoping that they could expand their resto since it is always full especially on weekends.
A year ago, we celebrated 4 and 1 at Jipan. Naadik pala talaga kami sa Jipan.
We keep coming back for Dynamite Rolls! Two faves in one roll - maki and ebi tempura. Big servings, crunchy and yummy. I could eat this all day - kung 'di lang siya mabigat sa tiyan🤣 Skip Shoyu most especially when you've been to Nagi or Ippudo, order Chuukra Ramen instead - it has a much bolder taste
JIPAN @ GLORIETTA: I’ve recently developed this weird, recurring craving for a roll, covered in ,tobiko, doused with kewpie mayo, and has some sort of fried element. I pair this with the most random thing- Agadashi Tofu. I’ve been ordering that combo at every Japanese restaurant that I’ve been in, some have better agadashi tofu but not so good rolls, some have good rolls but agadashi tofu is subpar, but the winner so far for both good agadashi and rolls has been Jipan.
AGADASHI TOFU: In some restaurants, the tofu is too firm and the taste of soy overpowers the thin layer of batter + sauce that coat it. The tofu here is cut smaller and is silken, so the tofu : batter : sauce ratio is perf 👌🏼 ROLLS: I love rolls with tobiko cos it gives it a subtle, salty crunch. Jipan’s Dynamite Roll has all sorts of crunch going on with the tempura, the tobiko, and the tanuki and I’ve literally craved this on a weekly basis!!!!!! GYUDON: I also ordered a gyudon cos I was a hungry gal lol and it’s delish. Vs. Yoshiniya: it’s meatier and has noodles.
Special mention to their Monroe bread: it’s like a croissant loaf that they use in some of their sandwiches. But their sandwiches didn’t make the cut (for my standards lol) so Skip the sandwich, buy Monroe bread from the Jipan bakery and make a better sandwich or a delicious french toast.
Next time I do want to try their pastas! I miss Japanese style pasta (esp with CREAM) and their carbonara looks interesting.
