The food is good but not great. It was better in previous visits.  I don't know why it wasn't the same last night. Maybe my view was also colored by the fact that it was difficult to make a reservation. I called and texted the number listed here and got no answer, by phone or text. I knew it was going to be busy being Ash Wednesday. I walked from church to the restaurant to make sure I reserved a table. The hostess checked her phone to make sure I really did call and send a text. Voila! It was there. Anyway, in this day and age, booking a table shouldn't be hard like many restaurants listed here on website. I love using the "Book a Table" button and often, restaurants reply almost immediately. I wish Isogi would use this. Their other restaurant, KAI replies very quickly using the website "Book a Table "button.

Ordered:Salmon sashimi - the slices are thinner than expected (see pic) but its also cheaper than the normal 400-500 price range. Texture is there. Overall, decent.Chicken yakitori - the chicken itself is delicious. Its tender! But the sauce was a bit too sweet for me.Ebi tempura - good! Shrimp tastes fresh. Could be crispier.Paid about 900 for party of 2! Very friendly staff. Will return for casual japanese food cravings!

Small yet relaxing ambiance with really good services. Clean, efficient and just about everything Japanese you may crave for. Their bentos, maki and yakitori are the standouts.

A new discovery at San Antonio Place and I'm loving it! Not too many good Japanese restos out there so this was indeed a treat for the tastebuds!The Yakiudon is really something else! The sauce has a rich flavor and the udon is so bouncy and chewy... I really like it. It's really easy to screw something like this up but to get it right is another story!The California Maki...tastes like you typical sushi roll, except that it's missing that juicy mango slice to pierce through the different textures of the roll. Not too bad.My biggest concern though is their wasabi. Would've rated it a 4 if it weren't for this experience. Not spicy enough. I actually have to top my maki with lots of it and it still did not kick in. Maybe change your supplier?Anyway, since I had limited time to eat, I wasn't able to order more but I feel that I will go back to this resto to try more of their signature dishes like their burgers and their meats.

I am a big fan of Japanese food and was so happy to have found this gem tucked in San Antonio plaza! The place is rather small but I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for a seat. Good and quality food without the huge price tag!

Great food....place, though small, is cozy, perfect for family bonding. First time to try the prawn & scallop dynamite, I ❤ it. My boys just loved everything they ordered😃

Never been disappointed by the taste of food here, however portion sizes are on the small side. Ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll (which was so delicious), Ebi tempura and Australian rib eye teppanyaki (absolutely mouthwatering) with Japanese rice.. Desserts here are creative and super good. Overall great food, bit on the pricey side but worth the little splurge.

I love their take on modern jap cuisine. I must say that this will be my new favorite jap place. We had their spicy tuna tartar with cucumber, prawn & scallop dynamite, australian ribeye steak and salmon skewers and we seriously LOVED everything we ordered especially the prawn & scallop dynamite and the salmon skewers. So so so good! I'm definitely coming back and I can't wait! Bringing Jan Fedrick Pablo RD here. He'll surely love this small but awesome restaurant. He's a big anything-salmon-dish fan too so I'm preparing to splurge on the salmon skewers. One order ain't enough.

I'm happy to discover that this Japanese restaurant is by the same owner as Kai in Greenbelt 5. It's menu is short and straightforward. If you're a group of 8, I suggest you order everything on it. Food is good but portions are scanty.What we had:Prawns and Scallop Dynamite - tasty stuff but there was too little of it! Good for half a person only. Uni Pasta - noodles were perfectly al dente, the uni sauce was rich and creamyChawanmushi - could use more flavorEel and Avocado Roll - yum!Rainbow Roll - yes!16 Hour Braised Pork Belly - this tasted like something we cook at home. Very tenderand sweet, but again, so minuscule!!! Order one per person + rice. Isogi Umami Wagyu Burger with Truffle Ketchup - didnt get to try but cousin looked satisfied with order. It came with corn tempura, sweet potato fries and shoestring potatoesWagyu Fried Rice with another additional order of pan seared foie gras - goodGreen Tea Ice Cream with Adzuki + Mochi + Cornflakes - just okayOverall, it was a delicious albeit very "small" dinner. I'm sure you'll have a great experience at Isogi. Just don't order the amaebi -- (P530 for 5 pieces of the tiniest shrimps I've ever seen)
