Inagiku - Makati Shangri-La, Manila

I just found out last night through my website mom that Inagiku offers Japanese buffet. I usually just go to Circles for dining in Makati Shangri-La. For a price of almost Php 2,500 per person, it was worth splurging to. Inagiku is spared no expense in providing its customers the highest quality meats and other familiar Japanese dishes. The drinks are already included. There are 5 major stations here. You have the fresh line-up of sushi, maki rolls and sashimi prepared on the spot; Teppanyaki corner for plates of seafood and meats, cooked in front of you; Create your own salad; Sukiyaki + Tempura; and of course, a stretch of sweet treats of mostly Japanese inspired desserts! What to get to maximize the experience. I recommend their cubed cuts of Wagyu, Spicy Salmon Sashimi, Lapu Lapu Tepanyaki, and their Flourless Chocolate Cake. Reservation is a must here if you wish to get a seat, especially on weekends.

Inagiku is one of my top go-to Japanese resturants in Manila. It is quite pricey but you really get value for your money here. Their sashimi is the freshest I’ve tried in the metro, thus far. I love their chirashi bowl.

Very nice place, cozy, clean, relaxed atmosphere. Good food made from freshest ingredients. Food servings is just ok, but not enough for a big stomach. On the pricey side.

My family loves this restaurant. We decided to come here for lunch and tried their lunch set menu. My set consisted of 4 kinds of sashimi, appetiser, miso soup, rice, gindara and dessert. The sashimi is always fresh and portion size of the main dish is fair. The waiting time for the food doesn’t take too long and the servers are friendly and helpful. They always refill the tea and water and can give recommendations on what to order.

It’s alright. I don’t think there’s anything special about the place. Somehow since it’s Shangri-La your expectations when it comes to the food would be higher but this doesn’t do much for me. I sometimes go there tho. The service is okay.

Being that this is my favorite restaurant I always look forward to an excellent and unforgettable dining experience.Reservations is a breeze over the phone. We were able to get our usual window seat and the change of time reservation was granted us. Receptionist at the restaurant door was missing when we arrived. But the lady appeared after a few minutes of waiting. Food choices and freshness-as usual- is excellent. Satisfaction in the buffet is always guaranteed when dining at Inagiku. Teppanyaki beef in chunks and thin slices. Also Teppanyaki shrimp and mahi-mahi. The wide variety of Sushi Maki and sashimi is a feast for the eyes and tummy. Love that the wasabe is always freshly grated! Shrimp tempura-always golden and crisp. And so much more. Fresh fruit, ice cream and baked goodies to top the meal off.Service. This is where we were really disappointed. It took ages to get water to drink. Also, the dip for the tempura arrived so late into the meal, my partner was already done eating. The offer of miso soup came really late, we had to decline the offer. We also ordered hot tea to go with our dessert spread. Too bad the tea arrived when we were already done with our sweet binge. And what was worse, only one cup was given to us. The second cup arrived when the tea was on it's last few seconds on the warm category. We dare not order a second serving of hot tea as the service today was really poor. To think that the restaurant was not even full even at lunchtime peak hours.We are hoping for improved services.

Not the fine dining ambience one could expect from this place. Absent service, even though it was half full and took too long, 45 min from order to food arrived. Food was ok, but won't come back.

Visited this place for dinner on New Year's Eve. Restaurant staff were very nice and accommodating but sometimes hard to spot since the place was full. We had a buffet dinner and the spread was complete-- sushi, sashimi, sukiyaki, steak, soba, tempura. You name it, they have it! With the price, I was expecting top-notch quality though. The sushi rolls taste better when ordered a la carte. Maybe because they were sitting on the buffet table for such a long time already?There was a wide assortment of dessert too-- cakes, mochi, fruits. You're bound to see something you like. Experience was great. After our meal, they served us ice cream which I don't remember seeing in the buffet. I just wasn't sure if they offer this to all guests or perhaps it was because they messed up our reservation. They sent us a confirmation but it didn't register in their system so we ended up being split into two tables. No biggie though.

Went on a Sunday for the lunch buffet for the first time. Best Japanese buffet I have ever tried! The quality is really there 💛 The sushi section had a lot of different choices. I really enjoyed the inari, aburi rolls, and tamago! There was spicy salmon too.The sukiyaki was also a delight. The beef was very tender and delicious! The soup is a bit salty, so I do recommend asking for an egg for dipping!Most people come here to DOMINATE the teppanyaki. The beef was sooo tender and juicy!!! Love it! You can go for the steak cubed cut or the sukiyaki cut. I preferred the cubes, but my dad liked the sukiyaki one more. There was also chicken and some seafood options.I got guilty because of all the meat I was consuming, so I also got some salad (not pictured) hehehe. They have also other buffet offerings, but honestly, they weren’t that good. The hamburg was sooo mushy, and the mackarel & lapulapu on stick had a lot of tinik! For dessert, the mochi was soft and super delicious! You can also ask for some scoops of icecream. They had those icecream roll thingies na ube but it was too sweet.—All in all, this place is perfect for special occasions! Everyone is surely gonna come home happy, especially after dominaating that beef!!! 🐮🐮🐮
