Try their wagyu rice and tonkatsu! This has been one of my go to comfort foods. The big star salad is also a win! The ambiance is great and not too crowdy.

I don’t go to Eastwood, but today I happen to go here for a whole different reason. On my way out the mall, I spotted this place. The lady that approached me was so nice and very engaging. She showed me the menu on ramen and said there was one ramen that was not on the menu. Something new and award winning, called the Truffle Ramen. So I bit the bullet and ordered it. No wonder this is a true winner. This dish will certainly flirt and play with your palette. Very flavorful. I will come back just to have this again.

I shoulb be rating this 5 but will give it a 4 four because of the service which was generally slow even if the place was already winding down. We went around 8pm. Upon checking the menu, we were really surprised with the thickness of it and the variety of food they're serving. We tried their Pork Katsu, Smoked Salmon and Tuna Roll and their Seoul Seafood Pizza. The pizza is the reason why I'm giving it 4 despite the service. Will definitely be back for more.

We ordered gyudon and chicken teriyaki fried rice. We loved the flavors, even how the rice tasted! Yum!

However, hope they can improve their service water as it somehow tastes like rust

Our big family of 24 pax had lunch there today to celebrate 2 birthdays. Aside from the food, which was very good as usual, I would like to commend the excellent service of the wait staff! They were very friendly, patient, attentive, pro-active and efficient!!! Such a wonderful dining experience!

Actually, the hubby and I frequent Sandaime, but this is the first time we hosted a big group, and we all had a good time. Many thanks!!!

Had a quick dinner here and ordered the chirashi bowl. Fills you up quick and if you love sticky, vinegar-y, Japanese rice, you are in for a treat. Fish tasted fresh although it was late afternoon so they did a good job preserving it. Server was delightful, quick to refill water and iced tea plus attentive to our needs. Ambience was relaxing.

Solid effort for a four star rating.

1st timer

Ordered:
Sandaime Tsukemen - first time in the restaurant, and first time to try a tsukemen. When i first took a bite of the noodles after dipping it in the soup... I was teleported in a farm, and the pig, mushrooms, veggies were welcoming me. Then i was strolling and touring around the farm on a sunday morning as I ate through the dish :) Overall - 4.0

Other points:

Service - 3.5
Ambiance - 3.0

It hasn't sunk in yet. Nagoyo ako. I needed happy food so I went in the first Japanese restaurant I saw. I wanted to get everything, but I cannot lest I poop money. I went with the Aburi Salmon Don and it was marvelous.

The staff was kind, courteous, smiling.

A new Japanese restaurant in Eastwood Mall in Libis. It's the chain's first branch outside Tokyo and Okinawa. The place radiates an authentic Japanese ambience. The food is authentic yet ordinary. Good service and value for money.

Because of it's convenient location, this is our go-to resto for spontaneous Japanese cravings.

The spicy tuna roll is a no fail basic choice. For two people, we usually order a roll and 2 other main dishes.
I've tried a few dishes and so far, none were disappointing.

Service could sometimes be quite slow even outside of peak hours.
Update: as of 9/19/17 the service improved ❤️

Fish is fresh and the miso soup with salmon is tasty. The dragon roll is also good . Serving size is ok. Dalandan shake is too sweet for my taste though. Will go back here to try other dishes.

I absolutely LOVED their Gyoza and Tuna Teriyaki. Expect to pay at least Php200 per dish, but the dishes are good for sharing (enough for 2 people). Service is fast as well and the staff are very courteous. We're definitely going back!

Invited to lunch at this place, and as a Japanese restaurant there were many options, which I like. Price range between 220 -450 per dish, with a decent variety of drinks to choose from.

The rolls were a bit difficult to handle - rice was not consistent in quality and not rolled firm enough. They broke apart sometimes when you picked them up.

Winning dishes - Uni Sushi (like the sea exploded in your mouth), Sandaime Roll (salmon and mango always a good combo), crispy tuna maki (balanced flavors), scallops, cheese roll (good smoke on the torched cheese) and tofu steak.

Skip the overpriced edamame and the Onigiri and yakisoba - I've had better elsewhere.

Worth a visit once in a while.

My favorite thing to order here is the Chicken Teriyaki Pizza. Thin crust pizza with chicken, mangoes, teriyaki sauce, some spices, and cheese. Yum! Also, I enjoyed their volcano roll. The chicken teriyaki with rice was saks lang. I do not know if ako lang ba or what, but the chicken was kinda matigas. The rice was covered with cheese so I was like able to finish 3/4 of it.

Service: 👍 friendly staff.

The place is good as it is outside eatwood mall. I tried their tsukemen, the noodles sems to be too thin but the soup is very tasty. I like the ambiance as it feels relaxing I may try other meals and their sushi soon

This is one of the first restaurants to open at Eastwood Mall and its staying power in an area where rebranding, re-segmenting is a usual practice silently speaks about quality. As of with other Chef Agustin's other restos its ambiance gets a perfect score.
We ordered our usual favorites Tuna sahimi, cheese scallops & curry. The taste of is what you would expect from experiential that is bringing your taste buds to a culinary journey.
The service almost feels like textbook application for hospitality, I admit they did well on training.
So if you want a taste for your money's worth, this place deserves a try!

I was craving for something Japanese when We passed by Sandaime. The restaurant has this very good marketing strategy of placing a small screen outside that would show clips of their menu. *We all love easy visuals right?* I waited for the slides to go on and on until I saw that they have Katsudon! OF COURSE!
“Dito nalang tayo, B!” *Syempre wala siyang nagawa* heehee
I don’t always get to choose where to eat because normally I want him to decide pwera nalang when I crave for something. So I was happy enough to learn that he enjoyed dining in this restaurant.
Everything was perfect but a bit pricey tho. Here’s the list of our orders:
Wagyu Striploin Steak - 1450php
Shrimp Tempura - 598php
Miso Soup - 138php
Pork Katsu Don - 268php

Can't decide whether the Smoked Salmon and Tuna Roll (not in photo, has cream cheese inside) or the Dynamite Roll (salmon) is better so give them both a try! Salads are nice too - especially their Cruncy Hollywood (fried kani salad) and Seafood Conspiracy. Salmon Sashimi and Seafood Yakisoba (not in photo) are staples! P.S. the menu needs to be updated to reflect the main ingredients.

Since we wanted to try something new, we tried this newly open japanese resto. The place is nice and quiet. The staff is very accomodating, and let me talk about the food.. Well I order chicken katsu with japanese rice and it is so good the chicken is crispy on the outside but tender on the inside it really does melt in your mouth. The rice is flavourful. We also got rolls for our appetizer. One is california roll and the other one is dynamite roll, both are so good. Over all the experience is great as well as the food itself. We'll definitely try other dish on their humongous menu!

Good service. Good food. Portions are good for sharing. I loved their spicy tuna salad. Quite weird though that when I was trying to talk to the server she slowly walked away...

Great experience dining at Sandaime earlier today during lunch for a work meeting. The restaurant was not so full, it had wonderful classy interiors, dim light to make the setting more romantic, great ambiance music, and service that was truly remarkable and impeccable!
They have a great line up of Japanese eats from tempura, sashimi, wide array of salads and my favorite, gyudon! Today I got the myself the beef gyudon set which comes with a portion of thinly sliced cabbage with dressing, miso soup, large red iced tea, dried fruits and a heavenly bowl of tasty beef strips over and ginormous Japanese rice. It was so delicious in every bite! The beef was very tender, with small portions of fat hanging over it. And the subtle sweet and saltiness all blended well together. I am so impressed with how far my P448 got me for lunch!
Definitely a must visit!

I don't want to give a premature review for this restaurant since it just opened its doors just last month I think , I'll base my comment for just this one dish that I had which is perfect for my cravings for that day ; I had miso soup ( quite expensive ) and sesame chicken noodles , my order took too long to be served I think about 30 mins ... Yes and there were only about 3 tables being serviced at that time .. But then again I was hungry so, left no choice , My first impression ; the serving is for sharing (2) and I like the spice , and nutty flavor to it , I love the texture and thickness of the noodle , with few chunks of chicken .. (Might consider adding more to it) and that's it I'm not sure if I'll be back here , there's more Japanese restaurants still waiting to be discovered :)

Nowadays I am used to dining at a Japanese eating place that offer a specific item like katsu or ramen. Sandaime in Eastwood doesn't seem to fit that mold as they offer a general selection of premium Japanese cuisine. The food is likewise excellent. I ordered the Teishoku B Gyu-Don and it was delectable. The beef was soft and had a sense of sweetness to its taste. The place seem to be a good draw for family dine outs as there were a lot of such groups at the time of my visit.

I particularly like the interior and the ambiance of the place. It's spacious and relaxing. For me it's reminiscent of classic Japanese Imperial Courts. The walls are adorned with reprints of classic Japanese paintings which authenticates the experience.

Great food selection and big servings. Worth the wait as it gives justice in matters of taste and preparation. Fell in love with their "Seafood Conspiracy" salad. We'll be going back to try their Ramen 😍
