Find it somewhat shameful that for a website like me, it’s my first time eating here 😐 (got too fond of kbbq that I forgot about the OG of grilled meats!!!). Well, at least better late than never, yeah? 😉 Found ourselves one Saturday travelling to Arnaiz ave to experience this well knowed yakiniku spot. Good thing it wasn’t that packed on a Saturday night, we were immediately seated and got into browsing the menu instantly. We tried the set meal for 2 and got 1 ala carte order of the wagyu beef. As much as I would like to explain it, my life dramatically changed after my first bite of meat. I believe it was the U.S beef that I got to try first bec the big star of the night, the wagyu beef, arrived a little bit late. First bite of wagyu beef, I just looked up and thanked God that Im not a vegetarian 😂😂😂😂😂Flavors are perfect even without their special sauce tho the sauce really compliments it. The salmon sashimi was great too. Cheap for around 200 pesos I think. The set came in with soup, side dishes and 1 rice plus fruit. Definitely gonna be my go to bbq place 💜

We are here in the afternoon and I think the ambiance is way too old but their traditional food is really good. I didn’t expect the Yasai Soup to be that good but that alone with Rice is already a perfect match. So I recommend this restaurant, well known for classic Japanese food. Everything is hot when served, just a 4 ⭐️ cause I think they need to renovate a little to bring life to the place.

🐽 Food: They offer different kinds of beef. Make sure to order these! Thinly sliced and flavorful. You’ll be cooking this by yourself. Fun! Match it with their Japanese fried rice and you’ll be satisfied. They offer other Japanese meals and sushi too.🍹 Drinks: They serve cold or hot house tea. They also offer soft drinks, juices and beer. 🍴Ambiance: The restaurant doesn’t have that modern feel. They should upgrade it already.👫 Service: Staff are pleasant and prompt.💸 Price: It can be quite pricey although food served tastes authentic.

Along the pasay load of Makati, a Japanese style grilled meat shop.The price is very cheap.I think the quality of meat is low.Recommended for those who want to eat cheaply.

Yakiniku Sakura, you seriously need to renovate your place. A big rat was running when we entered the place. We immediately left.I love your food and I frequent your place but I am not going back with a big rat running around your kitchen.

Quality yakiniku for a very reasonable price. My boyfriend has been raving about this place. Will trade this place over all other yakinuku or unli samgyup places.

I was not expecting such a delicious meal coming into this place. The restaurant could use a revamped ambience as it looks outdated and dirty looking. The service is not the best and the food took quite some time to arrive. Once the food arrived however it was delicious. The low prices for meats does not reflect the taste of the dishes as they were very good.

Delicious high quality meat and a great variety of it. The sauces that this place offers are few but delicious. Tastes very similar to the yakiniku that I have tried in Japan, just pretty expensive and the ambiance of the place isn't the best. Overall good experience due to the tasty food and good japanese beer.

My favorite yakiniku restaurant in the Philippines. I often visit Japan because I have relatives there and we frequent yakiniku places so I think I’m credible enough to give this review.First off: everybody must try this restaurant at least 3 times in their lives.Cons: table booking through call is almost impossible, unless you call before lunch, after that it’s so hard to reach them. Also, staffs are not very attentive. Yakiniku places are normally busy but it’s not *that* busy that you almost can’t attend to customers. I feel like they’re purposely avoiding to make eye contact and that’s such a headache when you’re trying to get their attention.Pros: THE F O O D. Their wagyus are so soft and buttery, and actually cheap! I just wish they serve still-slightly frozen meats so it doesn’t look soggy on the plate and so they can slice them evenly. Other than that, food is superb! But don’t expect the kimchi to have a noticeable tangy taste, theirs is sweeter than usual.Suggestion: Everywhere I go I always order jo-karubi, it’s the best for me. Just grill it for a few seconds each side and it’ll gloriously melt in your mouth. Always, always order jo-karubi.

Our family loved it! ESP the Bacon grill. Original Sakura was so yummy. Gohan and Chahan rice were both good! Downside, the smell of d grilling. Hope they add ventilation or exhaust fan
