Nodaya Japanese Restaurant

I went here with Asian friends. The place is very homey especially that there are rooms with division. The entire place looks like a typical restaurant in Japan.I was able to try Cha Soba (250 PHP). It's cold green noodles which I dipped in a special soy sauce with spring onions, raw quail egg, and wasabi. It tasted very delicious. It came with hot tea that was also good.But recently in 2018 when I went back, I didn’t have the same good feedback anymore. The restaurant had a musty smell and the female waitresses were only attentive to the male foreigner customers. I had Oyako Don (290 PHP) with Calamansi Juice (80 PHP). The taste was just average.

THE FOOD IS DELIGHTFUL!! THE 2.5 is from the fact that I had to call somebody 20 times just to be able to order & another 20 times to follow up.I don't know if the waitresses were actually putting more attention to male patrons but seriously, GRABE! Walang pansinan. Kulang na lang ako na lang kumuha ng food ko sa kitchen. Kklk. Kkiba. I would recommend the food 100%. The sashimi didn't taste like it just came out from the freezer. Well seasoned and gingery the agedashi tofu & gyoza. THE TEN ZARU SOBA IS FCKNG AHMAZIING!!! A big serving of delicious! Pero I don't know if I want you to come here after that kind of service. Pero pag bayaran, pabilisan. Grabe. Nakakagulat.

One of my favorite resto in little tokyo aside from their sushi roll, sashimi and grilled items another best thing is the japanese shabu-shabu or the yosenabe. #oishi

The best Japanese restaurant for me, yesss. It feels like Japan in there, Japan vibes everywhere. I just don't like it that they don't have a smoking area so it's okay to smoke inside the restaurant even if there are customers who are non smokers.Anyway, the food was great, I had the best gyudon in my life here. Their lunch sets are super sulit, for just 350 you got to have miso soup, your choice of rice meal, sidedish, sashimi (we got tuna sashimi, 4 pcs each!) and fruits for dessert.Will definitely go back!

Food was wonderful. We had: Sushi Moriawase - sashimi platter consisting of salmon, tuna, and aji; Namerou - ground aji mixed with miso and chives; and Shiokara - fermented squid (not shown). We accompanied this meal with a bottle of good nihonshu. On another day, I tried the tonkatsu (which seemed to have a bubble gum-like chewiness), the salad with an irresistable sesame roasted dressing, roasted garlic with miso dip which was surprising look good and sweet, and of course grilled cheese wrappes with bacon. It was awesome. The place was teeming with Japanese expats. The ambience and food felt authentically Japanese. Though most staff spoke in Nihonggo, they lack politeness. Perhaps a little too rough on the edges. The place is also a bit small. Prices of meals in little Tokyo range from 300-600 per head.
