Food can bring people together in a way nothing else could. I couldn’t say more how much I agree with that statement. The past two teams I’ve been a part of at work have the same thing in common, the love of good food. It’s something that made me feel closer to them that gave some form f escape form our daily stress at work.
My partner from work wanted to treat me lunch so I did not hesitate and told him I wanted to eat at a Japanese Resto. I was craving for Ramen since it was kinda cold. So he suggested we eat at Matsuya which is just 3 minutes away from our workplace. During noon, the place is not yet packed maybe because it's somehow secluded. I was really stoked to try their Ramen as some of my friends told me, it's a legit Japanese Resto. Being a Japanese culture lover that I am, Matsuya didn't disappoint. I ordered their Matsuya Tantanmen and boy was it really 美味しい！Will definitely go back here for more 💖
This is a hole in the wall restaurant in a quiet part of BGC. We just discovered this place while walking around the area at night. And we're glad we found it!
Their bento sets are a good. It's not the best tasting but sulit for the price. Their bento just costs around P190-P250! It comes with meat, rice, shredded cabbage and small portion of 3 sides. Sometimes, it also comes with miso soup. It's a complete meal! They also serve complimentary cabbage with sesame dressing while waiting for your order.
Aside from their bentos, we also like their Yakisoba. It's very different (and much better) compared to Tokyo Tokyo's version.
Matsuya also serves Korean food, but it's pricey so we never tried it.
The place is just small. They just have 4 tables that could seat up to 4 each, and a bar table that can be shared by around 10 people. This is not the place for big groups or for those who tend to overstay in a restaurant.
Did not know there’s a hidden japanese resto around our office until my colleague introduced this place. I am such a big fan of ramen. From big ramen franchises to mom-and-pop ramen shops.
With the rainy season upon us, ramen offers a blanket of comfort in the middle of the pouring rain. Every slurp from a huge bowl of ramen is like a warm hug. It is just soothing. Ramen could definitely cheer you up instantly.
I ordered Sapporo Shoyu Ramen. Broth is not as flavorful and creamy as other Japanese resto offer but ramen is ramen. It is just my comfort food everytime, so no ramen is bad for my tastebuds. hehe
Question: What Kind of Restaurant spends a fortune on rental and barely puts out a sign to advertise its there? Answer: the kind of place that doesn’t need one to fill it’s seats. Matsuya is exactly this place, an excellent hole in the wall Japanese restaurant in BGC. If you think about it Matsuya is kind of a fish out of the water, it’s charm and novelty is not supposed to belong in the most modern place place in the metro. Matsuya’s scrappy appeal though, contrasts with the quality of food it offers. The salmon and uni are remarkably fresh, the Mackerel juicy and and roasted appropriately. Though their prices are not comparable with your typical hole in the wall, you know it goes to the rent to ensure you have one good hole in the wall Jap in BGC.
美味しい！満足！
おすすめは、牛丼、鶏唐揚げなど。
焼きうどんも美味しかったです。
和食屋で中華料理が食べられるのも魅力。
醤油ラーメンは少し味が薄かったかな？？
あと、一握り50ペソ〜のお寿司も手が出しにくい気が。。。
でも、弁当系はどなたでもご満足いただけるのではないかと。
I'm so happy to have found an affordable Japanese restaurant within BGC that is open until late at night! Pretty sure I'll be going back often here!
Food is great! Place imitates traditional japanese setting. looks good but a little small. Service is great. servers are very attentive.
Gyoza - 4/5
Gyudon - 4/5
Ten Zaru Soba - 5/5 simple taste but very refreshing to the palate
Definitely a must try. Price is not bad for the quality of the food and thry have a good selection of japanese food. They will even give you an appetizer for free if you'll dine in. A hole in the wall resto!
Delicious food and affordable price. The staffs and owner are friendly and very accommodating. This place is recommended if you're craving for authentic Japanese food.
