Always a pleasure to eat in this quaint but fantastic restaurant!!! The uni sashimi is excellent. The mixed tempura, satisfying. All comes with freshly prepared wasabi. Oishi as Oishi can be!!!
This hidden Japanese gem has become our favorite place for Japanese food. It’s a tiny family-run restaurant that gives off the same vibe as some of the places we’ve dined at in Japan. The way they prepare dishes are very traditional which lends a lot to highlight the quality of ingredients that they use. The only thing inherently Filipino here is the service - the servers have that usual warmth (and obnoxiously loud greetings) that you can expect from service teams here. Great experience, great food.
This is one of our favorite Japanese Restuarants.
Their fish is very fresh. I also love their hot dishes, especially their tempura. The wait staff are also friendly & attentive
One of the greatest secrets in BGC. This hole in the wall restau serves great sushi. Their head chef is an old Japanese grandpa who always greets the customers.
My go-to japanese resto in BGC. Excellent sashimi and hot pot. They also recently started serving take out bento boxes which are delicious at a great price of 150 php per bento!!
I loved that they serve warm cloth for customers. I loved their Ramen, for me their Shoyu Ramen has the best taste. I also liked that their Japanese chef (owner?) is very hands-on and he even chats with their customers. He even gave us the, I'm not sure what's called, tamago that has a nice sweet taste.
Only thing we didn't like much is their Onigiri, the taste is a little bland compared to the one in Tateyama.
So far this restaurant have the best sushi and sashimi I have ever taste in the Philippines, made from the fresh ingredients and nice sushi chef. Recommended authentic Japanese restaurant!
I thought there was no good Jap restaurant in BGC except for Ooma. Apparently, i never realized that Burgos Circle is also part of BGC. Haha.
Keizo is a small resto along the strip near Bellagio. I ordered their ramen, and it was good! I also ordered Kani salad, which had a generous amount of Kani... the real kani salad. Other restos would just serve salad with a little bit of kani, and call it Kani salad.
Their house tea was also good. And servers were very polite.
The only thing that i didnt like was the restroom. Because it’s a small resto, the women’s and men’s restrooms are shared. And when i used it, it wasn’t that clean. It had a bit of a pungent smell because the toilet was very near the urinal. But at least there was tissue and soap. :) sorry i had to include this my review. Sometimes it plays a factor in the “overall experience”. :)
I love their ambiance specially the food, very modern and the employees are very approachable, so with owner at first I was shock I thought he was a customer, he welcome all of us. The food was very delicious i feel like i was in Japan.
This is a little Japanese spot that I have come to like! It is owned and run by a Japanese chef who seems to be almost always smiling. The place definitely has a mom and pop's shop appeal. It feels homey. That said it gets pretty packed during lunch and dinner time, so I suggest you book a table before coming here.
Not pictured here is the Chef's Special Beef Curry that has been my favorite dish when I dine at Keizo. Out of all the curries I have tried here in Manila, it has the deepest flavor. The beef is also served tender. It has definitely become my comfort food. However, in my recent visit the flavor was different from the one I have grown to love. But since I have had it several times, I have come to terms with myself that maybe that was just a bad batch. I will definitely try and check it out next time.
Without my beef curry, I decided to have yet another favorite of mine, Spicy Tuna Salad with flakes. The salad is priced at 400PHP but with all the bits of fresh tuna enough to fill you on its own, I say it's worth it. You also have the option of adding more flakes to balance the texture with that of the soft tuna. This salad is definitely worth coming back for.
Lastly, as I thought just the salad won't satisfy me, I decided to have one yakitori. It took sometime for it to be made and served. Once it arrived, I was immediately taken by its yummy smell. I opted to get the shio (salt) flavor for my chicken, and every decent-sized portion was delicious!
