Was here to try their tasting menu. It's definitely on the pricier side so you'd come here for special occasions. Compared to other tasting menus I've tried, I wasn't as stuffed after this meal, but I was definitely satisfied with the flavors. Worth trying at least once!
Just wanted to thank Chef Bruce for a truly wonderful experience. We will definitely go back!
Awesome food! Hokkaido Scallop, Tuna , Tamago Tart were my favorites. Ambience is great with a unique interior. Glad to see chef Bruce in action!
My default place everytime that I am craving for amazing japanese cuisine. Their fatty tuna melts in your mouth! Sashimi and sushi were elevated to a whole new level.
I've been hearing such good reviews about Mecha Uma that I finally decided to give it a try. Securing a reservation is such a breeze that you can just text to get a seat. Ordered several sushi and ala carte items. The dishes that stood out would be the Black Cod, King Crab Yakisoba and their Banana Guyabano dessert. Rating would have been a 5 if not for the several items missing from the bill and an order that didn't come out. Will try their omakase soon!
Aside from the Matcha Tea that takes sooo long to brew, the rest of the experience is amazing. Great gastronomic feast. Wish I could have taken more pictures before eating them. I was too excited.
Can I just say this is probably the best restaurant in Metro Manila especially if you are looking for a tasting Menu that’s beautifully crafted each night. Yes, different menu every night. The chef is a pure talent! You have to go here!!
We came with high expectations that they easily surpassed! The omakase was exciting and fun! The quality of the ingredients, great! The service was amazing! All the staff were well trained and evidently love their jobs! Thank you for making my birthday extra special! I am so happy that we have a restaurant like this in the Philippines! Will surely be back for more!
THE. BEST.
Initially planned to take the ala carte route but ended up trying the ‘Tasting Menu’. Best decision ever!!!
Mouthwatering from start to finish. Each item offers a different palate adventure that you’ll be lost and forget you have a smartphone to take pictures of each serving. Yes, totally forgot about it.
They just need to improve on their servers. While they are able to explain the dish well, they interrupt ongoing table conversations just to ask if the food is good. A little politeness will do. 👌🏼
We were a large group and we figured that we'd get the best value for money if we order the tasting menu for Php3000++. When you order, you don't really know what dishes you're getting because it depends on the availability of some food items. There's also no guarantee on how many courses you're getting-- we were told we'd be getting 8-9. Towards the latter part of the meal, I was surprised because the dishes kept on coming. I counted, and we had twelve courses in total! There was no dessert, but that's completely understandable!
As for the dishes, I do appreciate the creativity and effort in coming up with these creations, however, in a few occasions, I feel that the combinations just didn't work as expected.
Best: Hokkaido oysters with mushrooms (this sits on top of the list!), Tuna tartare in coconut wafer, Black cod (gindara)
Good: Tuna sashimi, Japanese wagyu (juicy but not as tender as I hoped), Wagyu rice, Scallops and fermented cabbage on kropek
Average: Uni (uni was great, but the bread where the uni was sitting was really soggy), eel, octopus noodles
Nuh-uh: Fried shrimp in curry vinegar, Sushi
