Napunta ako sa lugar na ito dahil sa bigla kong napagtripan na maging vegetarian for a day at dahil sa website ratings. Points to comment on:1⃣ Place Light ang ambiance, at spacious ang dining area. Easy to locate at may ample parking space rin. 2⃣ Staff Very accommodating at polite service (pati rin yung owner mabait din 😃)3⃣ Food 😋 I ordered their: Appetizer Sampler A (Fish Ball, Nori Chips, Spinach and Mushroom Poppers) - Sarap ng Fish balls! Addidcting ang lasa!; The Nori Is OK din, pero medyo naumay sa dulo Yung Poppers ang hindi ako fan (may weird na lasa, tingin ko sa mushroom). Ramen Burger - Nang una kong makita yung picture, na curious talaga ako. Nung makita ko ang actual serving, a bit weird, but very creative; not your usual burger (dahil sa ramen bun) at sa mushroom patty (na in fairness, iba rin ang lasa pero talagang di mo magpagkakailang masarap!). Lemon and Ginger Juice - Refreshing And relaxing drink. 4⃣ Price A bit pricey, I should say, pero I think worth it naman sa lasa and presentation ng food, pati na rin yung place.Overall, a (bit) weird but pleasant eatingexperience for me who ate in a vegetarian restaurant for the first time. 😋I'll definitely come back for the fish ball and other juices at sa kanilang guilt free desserts.

Looking for a vegetarian restaurant that I haven't tried, I turned to website and found this. At first, I thought it's those kind of Chinese vegetarian that serves mostly veggie meats/gluten, but when I checked the menu, they are Japanese-themed and have a variety of dishes including ramen, burgers, and snacks. So, we immediately headed to it.It is located in a small street yet the sign is large and bright. The ambiance is clean and on the walls are posters of their food and some cute wallpapers. Staffs are friendly and accommodating. The food...creative. How they can make it look and taste like the real thing is genius. My nephews and nieces didn't even notice that they are not meat. Taste is heavenly. Here are some of the dishes we tried:- Takoyaki - tasted like the real thing. Crunchy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. Great flavor. I thought it would be just the vegetable without the tako, but then I chewed on a tako-like substance, so it does have tako texture.- Fish balls - I thought it's just gluten that tastes like fish balls, but it's actually bean curd-like and it is so flavorful and addicting.- Ebi Tempura - looks like shrimp, but can hardly taste shrimp. The good thing is that when you eat tempura, most of the time, you can only taste the batter because the shrimp is so small, it can hardly be tasted. Same with their version, the veggie shrimp looked like shrimp and you can taste the tempura batter with the sauce. Pretty legit!- Crunchy Mushroom Salad - packed with flavors and healthy goodness. It comes with nutritious ingredients like goji berries and lotus seeds. The mushroom added crunch but was a little off in complementing the dish. The sauce was good though.- Tofu Steak - the best tofu steak I have ever tried (meat or no meat). The breaded tofu is fried perfectly, and when eaten with the mushroom toppings, instant bliss in the mouth. I highly recommend this one.- Beef Salpicao - normal salpicao for me with the use of soy meat. An okay dish but has good flavors.- Bacon Mushroom Burger - very flavorful. I think the patty is made from mushroom. Tasty with the veggie bacon, but what makes it delicious and exciting is the toasted wheat bun. It sets everything apart.- Teriyaki Chicken Don - my nephew had this and he doesn't want to share. Finished it off in less than 10 minutes. I would assume it's really tasty. It is very colorful though and packed with greens. Oh, you have the option of choosing Japanese rice or brown rice.- Shoyu Ramen - noodles are chewy, chashu are tasty, and soup is light. Not really a shoyu because of the clear-colored soup, but I can eat this any day I crave for a good ramen.- California Maki - flavor-packed rice roll with crunchy tempura batter topping. Great with the soy sauce dip.- Quinoa Burger - my mom loved what she ate so much, she ordered take out. Tasted better than the bacon mushroom.- Vegan Panna Cotta - know the almond jelly on Chinese desserts? Tasted almost like that but with a different texture. Nonetheless, good.- Vegan Chocolate Cupcake.Overall, food is great. Would definitely come back for a vegetarian fix. They also offer fresh fruit and vegetable juice. We tried the Goji Berry Juice and the Lemon and Ginger, refreshing. A must try for everyone, even if you are a carnivore!

Chanced upon this restaurant one rainy afternoon when I was getting really hungry. Finally found a vegetarian place with great food at a great rate! Most restaurants that carry vegetarian dishes are quite pricey. I ordered their vegan mushroom burger and tofu steak. Fuss-free and delicious! Definitely going back to try the rest of the food in their menu. 👌🏽

Agico Vegetarian Cafe makes the most perfect organic salad (Agico Salad Special) I've ever had. Portion-wise, you will not leave this place hungry. At first, it may not seem like a lot, but by the time you're about half way done, you're surprised by how much is left. Although it's just a salad, the service and care that goes into making it is what keeps bringing me back. Also, try their freshly-pressed juices. I recommend the Kale Apple Juice. The combination was perfect and it's so hydrating and refreshing.The menu has seasonal offerings based on what's available so what you're eating is always fresh and the absolute tastiest it can be. Price is extremely fair for the quality of food and care that goes into this place.This location is nice and spacious and has plenty of tables and seating areas. I will continue to enjoy what Agico has to offer and happily find myself enjoying a bite from time to time. Check it out!

Agico Cafe is another interesting healthy cafe for non-vegans that serves soy protein to substitute all the meats in the menu. The whole menu has Japanese inspired items from 'ebi' tempura to takoyaki, without the 'ebi' and 'tako.' It may sound confusing, but it is what is written in their menu, but when asked, its just in the labels.I had my lunch with a friend and had our Japanese favorites. Takoyaki. Takoyaki was served in 6's and eas glazed with a sweetened soy glaze topped with ground peanuts and soy chips. The takoyaki has a nice, crispy exterior with a creamy, soft interior filled with cabbage and faux shrimp. It was a perfect substitute of our regular takoyaki.Beef BBQ. Grilled soy protein glazed with a sweet-soy sauce. It's sweet, savory with a firm gummy texture, similar to a pork intesttine, but made from gluten. Perfect meal after workout.Maki. Fresh carrots, mango, and cucumber wrapped in nori and rice. It was fresh and healthy without the meat. If you don't like the vegetal taste of raw carrots, skip this.Gyoza. Half steamed, seared dumpling filled with cabbage, carrots, and shiitake. It reminded me of a fresh lumpia, with the flavor similar to it. Tasty, light, and delicious.Beef Ramen. Egg noodles, vegetables, some 'beef balls' in a mushroom-vegetable stock. The soup was light, umami & has a meaty taste from the mushrooms and vegetables. The 'beef ball' has a familiar taste from a seafood ball, although its made from sou protein, but i think its flavored with some mushrooms to get the meaty taste.Agico stays true to the concept, vegetarian cafe for non vegetarian. It defies what we know of vegetarian food, bland, raw, and inedible for most carnivores. On the other hand, Agico's food is tasty, savory, and flavorful. P.S. No animal was harm in this meal.#TheFoodCrawlers

I have been passing by Agico for so many times now during my drives from the office. One saturday noon, I decided to finally try out this resto. At first glance, they look like one of your usual japanese restaurant but upon closer look, Agico actually is a vegetarian restaurant focusing on the japanese cuisine. I ordered their samurai burger and philly cheese roll. The rolls were not bad and actually tastes like the regular ones. Their burger was great! Served with their nori chips, its one quite tasty burger minus the meat! Will definitely go back here to try the other items on their menu.

I tried their pinoy best burger. More than anything I wanted to try their veggie patty. It was good albeit a bit weird. I think I might get it again. I also ordered their tofu steak. While it was good, I still prefer the tofu steak at Kimpura.

I tried the quinoa burger out of sheer curiosity. I have been reading the story of an ultra marathon runner who is having a plant-based diet so I wanted to see for myself if it was okay. To my surprise I kind of liked it. It tasted a bit weird but in a good way.

Ordered the ramen, it wasn't bad however there was a worm in it. They took it away with no compensation. Service was kinda slow even when there was only one other customer in the cafe. Ordered the seaweed roll and the omelette curry also, it was not bad.
