I was in Manila for 3 nights (broken up over a week) and when we first tried the soup, it reminded me of my mum’s homemade chicken soup but dare I say... better!! My friend and I finished every drop first time round and the staff could have metaphorically rolled us out we were SO full! ��
I enjoyed the soup so much that whilst on the final day on my holiday in El Nido, and knowing I had 1 last night in Manila, I convinced my friend to return here for lunch for more Golden Soup! I am happy to say 2nd time round did not disappoint! I will miss this dish when I return to the �

Excellent dining experience, staff was great and helpful especially for first timers.
Collagen Soup is a must to have.
Francheska patiently assisted us throughout our dining experience, making us feel relaxed the whole time. Service makes all the difference. Aside from that, their hotpot specialty is tasty and full of ingredients. Definitely not like your ordinary hotpot.
Their signature golden collagen chicken has a weird texture but is definitely flavorful and has a creamy feeling. The chicken is very tender and soft. Their nikumakis is also a must try!!
I loved every food I ordered. Firstly, the Bijin Nabe collagen hotpot is a must try! If you will not try it just go look for another Japanese resto. I also loved their Chicken Nanban and Nikumaki Onigiri. Secondly, as for the food servers, everyone was very accomodating and they are very prompt. Lastly, the price is surprisingly cheap. Overall, I had a great experience here and the food is DELISH! I think from this day forward Bijin Nabe by Tsukada Nojo will be my go-to Japanese restaurant.
I've been eating here for over a year now and I try to introduce friends to it whenever I can. It really is a unique experience. First of all, if you're not going to try their Collagen Hotpot, you've wasted your time. I recommend you opt for egg noodles rather than the rice porridge. Second, you need to let the staff do the preparation. I made the mistake of assuming it was like other hotpots and went off on my own, hahaha, so I got scolded by the staff because there's an order to the preparation.
Other menu items to try: Chicken Nanban, Shitake Nanban, and Spicy Nikumaki. The nanban spicy options are great, but really spicy, so if that's not your thing, go for the original!
My grandfather has cancer, diabetes, and a weak kidney - so he pretty much can't eat anything sweet or salty. I wanted to make sure his New Year's Eve dinner would be special though - so I brought him to Bijin Nabe, which touts their completely healthy and organic chicken beauty hotpot
The vegetables were nice and fresh, the soup was extremely tasty without that icky msg taste hotpot can sometimes leave afterwards, and the famed chicken was very tender 😍
Amazing experience!
Rich soup sourced from Japan (imported) ✅
Light organic meal ✅
Lots of vegggies ✅
Bijin Nabe is known for having wonderfully rich creamy collagen soup.
This soup is the star of the show.
Minimum order is one Set good for two people.
Set contains a number of stuff, i took a picture of the set with the descriptions of what is included.
Costs Php 795.00 plus tax.
Since in my family we are all big eaters, we usually add a few more veggies / meat.
We are a big fan of this place. ^_^

The resto is intimidating at first because its not the usual hotpot food that we have in Manila. The servers are very accommodating and kind. Very knowledgeable of the menu and gives good recommendation on what to order for first time diners. The hotpot food is around 900 but included a big pot of collagen broth (it looks like jelly when it arrives on your table but would turn into broth after it gets heated), veggies, shrimp and ground chicken (they’ll turn into meatballs when they cook it). Hotpot will be cooked by the waiter and will portion everything out for you. The broth is really good and they did not overcook the veggies. They would refill the broth when its almost empty (its free) and will put ramen noodles in the end.
For price point its a little expensive but for me its worth it. For special celebration or for bagong sahod food trip moment. :p its one of those restos you’ll be happy that you tried. It can even trigger a craving! ;)
If you want something as good as a tonkotsu ramen, but cannot eat pork, the bijin nabe is basically what you need. It’s basically chicken bone broth, so it tastes as full and flavorful as a tonkotsu broth. If you also take inconsideration the amount and the price for each portion, it’s actually cheaper than a tonkotsu ramen in any of the ramen stores. :D
All the other food we ordered were good( the salmon roll and nanban chicken,) and the servers were friendly and very accommodating.
The only take away is, you dont become a “bijin” right after eating a portion. :p
Japanese shabu shabu who use the collagen chicken, the taste is similar with ramen soup, so tasty.
They use the good quality product, and chicken ball is homemade. Good for want to eat healthy food.
The service is good, they service us from beginning (soup tasting until the end they peeled the shrimp).
The food is great —— fresh ingredients, excellent combinations. The collagen broth is refreshing. Prices are modest, given the quality. But certainly worth your money. The ambience is sophisticated. The staffs are accomodating especially the ones who served us except for Miss Lai (not sure with the spelling though), maybe she should smile more often and to not show her rage on her colleague in front of the guests. Overall, the experience was very pleasant. Will definitely come back.
