Marufuku Japanese Restaurant

I've been to Marufuku a couple of times. Kinda expensive compared to other Japanese restos but since it's just a stone's throw away from where I live, I can't complain plus food and service have consistently been very good every time we visit this place. 👌 It's always packed with patrons even during weekends.Not everybody's cup of tea but I really liked the strong earthy flavor of shitake drenched in lemon juice - if I could have red wine on my other hand :DChicken teriyaki was good and ordinary but they served it with my ideal plain rice - slightly sticky and fluffy.Grilled shrimp - the family's favorite and standard order - served with veggies and capers, the shrimps were moist and tender grilled to perfection 👍👍Ebi tempura - 5 prawns in light batter which I prefer👍👍5 types of sashimi platter - fresh tuna, salmon and uni!!! Enuf said 👏👏Grilled Pork Belly and Chicken Gizzard - ordinary yakitoriGrilled Salmon - crunchy salmon skin and soft meat. Even I hear my ears clapping on how simple the dish was and very tasty & fresh it was at the same time. 👍👍Halo-Halo - stellar milky fine shaved ice - it's the bomb! 👍👍Great Jap resto option in Ortigas!

My friend and I wanted to try Japanese restos in Ortigas. She got curious with the Marufuku Roll so I reserved a seat for weekday lunch a day prior. Service was great throughout, and our meal was good too. A serving of Marufuku Roll is already good for 3. I just added Chicken Teriyaki, which was a bit unique because it's fried. The sauce had just the right amount of sweetness.The reason for not giving a perfect score is pricing. Marufuku Roll is at 675 pesos while Chicken Teriyaki is at 355, served with veggies on the side. We just had their free service tea (hot and cold). The menu says it's already VAT-inclusive and exclusive of 5% service charge.
