Ramen and rolls – such a combo right? Now imagine you have a Zomato Gold account and you get buy 1 take 1 perks! Tried out Tori Ichi at SM Mall of Asia some time ago. There were a lot of light colored wood finishings with highlights of red decors giving a Japanses vibe. They also have a tatami room areas (with sliding doors) if you need a little privacy.
Place looks lovely, menu design is appealing and staff is friendly. We had blackened chorizo pasta, steak and eggs, sausage and egg pizza. Food was good and there were a number of other dishes I'd like to try next time. The price on their family size pasta though is little too expensive.
Food Coma in Balboa
We tried Balboa for the first time. And we were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with our meal.
The salad had the right mix with a flavourful dressing. The clam chowder was thick and tasty with mussels. The salmon on mushroom risotto was perfectly cooked. And the balsamic pork was deliciously tender, like an adobo with an italian twist.
And our watermelon cucumber was very refreshing.
We’ll definitely try Balboa again. 😋

We ordered half 5 cheese and all meat pizza, and truffle pasta.
OMG ang sarap dito bakit iniisnab namin ito dati?!? What happened to me?! friendly staff, and competitive price range.
Steak, babalikan ka namin, HUMANDA KA! :)
Whenever I crave for Italian pizza, I usually go to Balboa. The price is pretty steep but the taste and flavor are worth it! I was quite sad when the branch in Greenbelt closed down so now I have to go all the way to Shangri-La. I’m hoping they open another branch in Makati soon. The staff are accommodating, their pizzas are delicious, and the lasagna is nice and cheesy. 🧀

I can not believe Balboa was launched in Shangrila Plaza in 2013 or 5 years ago and I have not even tried it once.
It took the event Shang GourmetFest last October 17 to make it happen ...
Ehhhh. I’m the king of the world. Yan ang peg kapag bagong sahod. Pasteak steak nalang. Hahaha. Sarap ng @balboa_ph steak partida sirloin palang yan pano na kung mas maganda ung part ng baka.
This is in Shangrila mall adjacent to Corazon restaurant. Ambience is good. Accommodating staff. Food well-served. Will visit again soon and try the others.
