While roaming around Robinson's Manila, we suddenly felt hungry and decided to eat somewhere in the food court area.
Then we saw Teriyaki Boy and it was great that there are only a few people so we do not need to queue and wait for our turn. We went straight inside..
And we ordered these 4 dishes:
KATSU JU - I love the meat! It tastes so good. I love that Japanese cuisines do not depen on MSG and more on herbs and spices but still manages to taste this good. Their rice serving is more than enough to make you full.
TUNA TERIYAKI DONBURI - my boyfriend loves it, he asked me to try it but I'm just not a fan of tuna. But great that he did liked it.
CHEESE GYOZA - this is LOVE!!! I didn't know gyoza would be this good with a cheese spread. The gyoza was perfectly cooked. The cheese is in the right taste not too salty like other cheeses.
EBI TEMPURA - I am honestly not happy with it. Look how Ebi Tempura was served. It is not aesthetically pleasing and I did not enjoy it as well. So probably next time we will no longer order this again from the said restaurant.
Serving time takes 15 minutes which was clearly mentioned after taking our orders. And server is very accommodating. If you are ordering a bottomless drink, there is actually no need to call their attention for a refill. They will automatically refill your drink even without you requesting for it, which is superb!
We will still go back next time to try their other dishes.
We were looking for a familiar restaurant where we could have dinner on a Monday evening, and since we were craving for something Japanese, we decided to go for Teriyaki Boy. It’s not as popular as it was but it could still punch in some Eastern authenticity.
I was with my sister, which gave me a chance to be able to order more than I could handle. It didn’t take long for the food to arrive, and the serving time was just as good as the dishes.
On top of my list would be their Tonkatsu Curry. The meat was tender, even though the breading was deep fried and crispy. The curry complimented the pork’s flavor, so we finished it almost as soon as we started it. It could use, however, more serving of curry and more heat.
Another one that I fancied on was their Tuna Tartare, an original French cuisine that they infused with an Asian appeal. This serving didn’t need the usual soy sauce as it was seasoned well already. Its generous tempura bits also gave an interesting crunch once in a while.
We also tried their dynamite roll, Western-style sushi, that contains a piece of prawn tempura and masago, with other vegetables. The cheese tried to neutralize the fire like the spiciness of the roll. This one is a must order if you love spicy food!
Their tempura didn't disappoint either, as it could easily be compared with what the rest of the Metro has to offer. Each bite was also packed with shrimp. It was not your usual airy kind found elsewhere.
To even out the flavors of the food that we had and provide some nutrients, we also tried their Yasai Itame, or better known as stir-fried vegetables, for our side order. Their Yasai Itame stood out, given its infusion of signature Chicken Teriyaki. And hey, this was only Php 120!
This round of Teriyaki Boy experience was great overall, and I'd recommend it for you if you like Japanese right away and not as pricey.
The name is teriyaki boy and guess what their specialty is? Teriyaki chicken and tuna are my favorites. Sushi rolls aren’t bad either.
I like the fact that I can come by myself and get “solo” servings of sushi rolls (four pieces) and gyoza (two pieces).
