My family was craving for Japanese food and I suggested to dine in at Okiniri, the supervisor was really accomadating and friendly. They also offer buffet and catering service and they are the ones that supplies california maki at Queensland catering 👍🏻Thumbs up for good food and service.
Had lunch with my friends. Accomodating servers, chill ambiance, affordable, neat, generous servings, great food. What's not to like? Definitely coming back 😊
One might overlook this simple-looking restaurant along Tropical Ave in BF International. It looks like a house converted into a Japanese restaurant, with its homey interiors and traditional low tables where you sit on the floor. It's also not the usual buffet - for this one, you can order as much as you want off their menu, and they will cook each dish fresh. It avoids food wastage, food you eat is freshly cooked thus you're assured it's always hot but it does kind of drag when you have to wait for your order to come out. One technique we gathered was to order a lot at the start of your buffet, so that each dish comes out from the kitchen like clockwork.
We had beautifully cooked ebi tempura, with just the right amount of crispy batter and fresh ebi. They also served kani salad, gyoza, beef sukiyaki with unlimited soup, gohan rice, tofu steak and 2 varieties of sushi. All of these our group kind of inhaled nonstop! Hahaha
The dining experience proved to be promising, and has its novelty. I do hope they renovate the place for added visibility in Tropical Ave, given it is now also booming as one of the food streets inside BF.
*The owners would like to note that they are in no way affiliated with the Bless Okiniiri in Aguirre Ave. It used to be under their brand but the new owner just did not drop the name, much to the chagrin of the previous owners. As of date, they are still petitioning to have the Okiniiri name dropped from that establishment.
Authentic japanese food. Super sulit for the price you pay for. I just didnt opt for the buffet since i was not feeling well when we visited pero I would definitely come back here.

Next to Suzukin, this is my favorite!
My brother took us here for an authentic Japanese buffet experience. Although it looks old and poorly furnished, the restaurant feels like home to me, inviting my good chi to eat a hearty meal. The staff were friendly and accommodating, even offering freshly cooked dishes that were already on the buffet table (specifically the Beef Sukiyaki, Ebi Tempura and Beef Teriyaki/Gyudon)
For P450 pesos, you get to eat A LOT. I really really really loved the salmon soup. They also offer tempuras, cooked meat, noodles, sushi and salad. The dessert table is kid-friendly as there were chocolates and muffins aside from fruits.
The owner is very kind too, as she shares her storis about her restaurant, its succes, and other dining experiences.
She also told us that you can avail vouchers at Metrodeal for unli shabu shabu and yakiniku -- different from what we ordered.
Overall the experience is great! Please do visit! ✌🏻️😊

Service and food are both great. We love their bentos and okonomiyaki. Their ramens and udons are mediocre. They often have promos, like 20% off on all bento boxes. I honestly liked eating here but there are just better options for japanese cuisine that have sprouted nearby.

The food is great. No doubt about that. Plus, restaurant staffs are all accommodating. The price is relatively cheap. Overall, A+ for this restaurant. Highly recommended
We've been here several times already and even celebrated 2 birthdays with friends and family. The place is cozy. Love their kani salad and gyoza.
I came here with colleagues after duty. We were riding the aguirre stretch looking for a place to eat at and one recommended this place. We came near closing time so i guess that's why the stock at the buffet table were not as many. But you really get to enjoy the 495php food. With the open buffet you get a serving a sashimi (your choice of tuna or salmon) and the soup (i forgot what it's called). Overall a good value for money buffet.
Been here Three times already. My favorite is their unlimited yakiniku and shabu. Great value for money. Great service too! It deserves a Five!

The first time we ate here was by accident, but every time after that was because we wanted delicious and affordable authentic Japanese food. It's set in a quaint house in BF (near Southville) which makes the experience remind you of home--they even have low tables for when you want to sit on the floor. There is a secluded area for smokers.
The food is absolutely delicious. One of the best Japanese restaurants in town! Their staff is accommodating and very sensitive to what their customers want and need. Their bento meals come with the ulam and rice, a drink, dessert, salad, and maki (it costs as much as Tokyo Tokyo's meals where you only get ulam, rice, and drinks).
I think it deserves more recognition than it receives. This is undeniably a very good Japanese restaurant :)
Saw this while browsing buffet places in LP... Good thing we tried this place... Affordable and the staff was friendly and accomodating... We tried the yakiniku and shabu buffet... Yakiniku was good and they even cooked for us... The shabu could be better though I am not really a fan of the shabu and enjoyed the yakiniku better... An old house converted to a restaurant with 4 "japanese-style" seating good for two...
The place was hard to find and the place was actually small. It was like the japanese house wherein the ground floor was a restaurant and the 2nd floor was where they sleep.
My family were a fan of japanese food so we decided to try Okiniiri. It is las piñas only so we thought it was ok to drive there. Arggghh... traffic... we arrived almost 1230 while our reservation was at 11am. Good thing they still have space for us. Well, we did reserved anyway.
A few tables and chairs and some were japanese style dining where you will seat on the floor and cook the food on your own. We decided not to have that because my mom and dad will have a hard time to stand up. Hehe... anyway, i was really happy with their service. It was actually superb. They were very attentive and never lets us call them but just ask and give us what we want. To think that such a small restaurant will have this kind of service, they must really be well trained or the manager is strict. Well, because of that good tip was given to them.
Food on the other hand were fine. I mean, rice is a combination rice and some of the first batch of meat is not that tender but at the latter part of the meal it became tender anyway. So great doing yakiniku and shabu shabu but I still prefer to do it at home. Their food was good but I still prefer my mom's japanese cooking and yakiniku style as well. She stayed in japan more than my age maybe that's why.
If i will go back? Maybe. If my dad will drive. But going there commuting. Maybe not. But i still love their service. Good job guys...
Authentic japanese food. Reasonable prices. Great ambiance.
I love there food ... im satisfied with there service the ambiance is very relaxing covinient for eating.. dish tastes good.. if you want to experience authentic japanese food you should try here.. they also serve yakiniku.
