I went over reviews in website before deciding to have dinner here. It had mixed reviews. So do I. Upon entering I was impressed with the interior. It was clean and had a nice touch of Japanese mural. It's a special look for the Metrowalk area. For everything me and Maloushky had, it was a bargain at Php 1,018. All dishes they served were generous. Mixed Sashimi had an overwhelming presentation on a boat. The cuts were bigger than usual and it was fresh. New raw is the primary basis for great sashimi. The Sukiyaki had so much lean beef in it. The noodles were slippery good. The soup and mushroom though was sour. We weren't able to finish this. The Chicken Teriyaki Bento was also a good value with matching Miso soup, vegetables, sashimi, California Maki sushi and a nice crispy flavored-filled chicken. Not a lot of favorite places in Metrowalk. This place though earns my nod.

The interior design was very consistent with their Japanese theme. I believe it managed to set itself apart from many other "authentic" Japanese restaurants/bars by giving a more retro feel rather than a classical Japanese ambiance. The food and drinks were on par for the price. Those looking for truly Japanese cuisine should look elsewhere, but again, it's likely that most people don't go to this area for such. Aside from the design, the real winner (or winners) are the delightfully friendly staff. They deserved every piso of our big tip. Hope there would be a more robust selection of sake in the future!

Whether you're looking for a good chow or a relaxing place for a night cap, Nommu has got you covered. Conveniently located in the heart of Pasig that is Metrowalk, everyone's ensured to have a fine time!What I specifically love about this resto is the abundance of choices in their bar list and chows. Indulge in the platters for they not only offer great value for money but also satisfying in the belly! Since I'm not a fan of raw food, I always go for the Yakitori platter! But for my family who loves raw food, the Nommu Festival is always a top choice. You can also custom your dips, but my all time favorite is the Wasabi Mayo. It goes perfectly well with the Yakitori.Of course a Japanese resto won't be legit without the Ebi Tempura. The light crisp batter is just perfection.For those who are looking for Filipino dishes, fear not as they have the usual local chows.They have also made well use of their space with great interiors. Crisp manly details for that relaxing atmosphere.And since I am a bourbon drinker, glad to know they have affordable bottles ranging from P1600-P2650. One JD please!For those on a budget, I saw go for the beer and chow package which comes with 6 beers and 1 bar chow for only P330! Awesome deal!

I never really enjoyed their food because I was too focused on our beverages though this review is all about their service. They have mean service crew members. I left my almost not touched packet of cigars on the table when I left for the toilet and when I came back poof they said they threw it away because it was empty. That's mean and horrible, I wonder if someone left their phone or any valuable stuff🙄. Dishonesty alert.

Nommu, literally means 'to drink'. It was derived from the word, nomumasu. Nommu has been at Tomas Morato for a long time. Their place si small and can be easily missed, as compared to metrowalk, which has a bigger seating capacity.As I was speaking to the owner, they bought the whole concept from the brainchild of nommu and revamped the menu by adding new food items to offer. They now specialized in Japanese-Fusion dishes that fits the pinoy palette.We got the bestsellers, as according to the owner.Garlic Saikoro steak. It was seared beef cubes served with sauteed vegetables and a sauce. The beef was tender and seasoned well. It was cooked just right.Uzura Bacon Yakitori is basically grilled, seasoned pork then served with a yakitori sauce on the side. The yakitori was overcooked and was a little dry outside. The sauce was too thick that can become salty when dipped too much. The sauce was nice, sweet, savory, but salty for my taste.Spicy Tuna Sashimi was just lacking some flavor. It was chopped tuna with Japanese mayonnaise topped with tempura bits. I prefer my tuna with alot of tempura bits to give it a nice crunch and texture and to balance of the mayo. It also lacks thin slices of scallions, that doesn't just ad color, but also flavor to the dish. Lastly, I hope next time they would have a better tuna supplier, because it wasn't as fresh as i was expecting. It tasted nothing, no fishy tuna aroma.Crispy Chicken Teriyaki. It was fried chicken thigh fillet that was dressed with teriyaki sauce. I like the crunchiness of the chicken taht was perfectly complimented with the sweet-salty-teriyaki sauce. This was my highlight for the night.Volcano Roll. It was tempura batter, fried salmon maki roll dressed generously with teriyaki and cheese sauce. At first glance, it was drowned with both sauce. It was just overflowing. The maki was crunchy on the outside, but can't really taste the filling until I broke it open to see whats inside. I find the maki too sweet and can't really taste the cheese sauce. I think this is for beer match to compliment its strong flavor with a glass of beer.Lychee Blosson Sangria was the best drink I had. It was served in a carafe. It was sweet, tropical-fruity with an after taste of red wine. The best part is, it has whole lychees that is soaked in the cocktail.Sensei's Passionate Mojito was also good. It is nice, citrusy. The fruity flavor masks the taste of the rum, which is really good. As a person who dislikes the taste of rum.Overall, Nommu has the potential to be known as a Japanese bar, but needs to improve on some of their menu items and really explore who and what Japanese cuisine is all about.#TheFoodCrawlers #OngsFoodprints #TheLostDiego

Nommu is a resto-bar that started in Tomas Morato that became successful enough to branch out for in Metro Walk. Here the place is bigger, with a rather sophisticated ambiance compare to other neighboring bars within Metro Walk. specialized in Japanese fusion dishes that cater to the Filipino palates. And they are also good to pair with drinks they offer.Some of the food and drinks that we tried:Crispy Chicken Teriyaki – Breading of the chicken was perfectly fried to crisp while retaining the tenderness of the chicken. It complemented the sweet and salty taste of the Teriyaki sauce. Great alternative for the usual greasy chicharon bar chows. Garlic Saikoro Steak – I like the garlic-ness of the dish with perfectly cooked the beef steak cubes (still juicy and soft). It comes with stir-fried veggies on the side and light sauce poured over it for a bit of wetness to the dish. Volcano Roll – It is also presented like an active volcano with maki on top of each other to form a pyramid and generously drizzled with cheese sauce and teriyaki sauce that looks like magma pouring over the crater. While not really at par with some of finest Japanese restaurants in terms of taste. It will definitely fill your and your barkadas’ tummy with the generous serving of the dish.Uzura bacon Yakitori - Bacon wrapped quail eggs. How can this go wrong? You just have your favorite drink on hand and you’ll surely have a perfect night. And it’s only P 220 for 12 pcs.Negima Yakitori – grilled skinless chicken on sticks a bit of healthy pica-pica or viand. It was grilled a bit dry that night but generally okay. Don’t go overboard with the dip! Try to taste it first by lightly dipping on it as their sauce is rather thick and concentrated that too much of it might make the meat too salty for you.Spicy Tuna Sashimi – generous serving of tuna mixed in Japanese mayo and wasabi for that spicy kick. I would like it if it had more of those crispy tempura batter bits and the tuna more fresh.Sensei Passionate Mojito – I like how well they blend the rum with citrusy sweetness of passion fruit and cranberry juice that the tast of rum is not too strong but you can still fill the kick and heat of it when you drink it.Lychee Blossom Sangria – They mixed real lychee in it with some orange juice and fresh lime and of course red wine. It will be a sure it with the ladies.For their cocktails they also serve it in carafe for sharing.They do also have karaoke room for 1,500/hour consumable. Every Wednesday they bring in DJs to do music mixes and bands on Thurdays and Fridays. And every Sunday they have a drink-all-you-can on selected cocktails for only P369.00It’s a go-to place hang-out in Metrowalk especially if you wanted to treat yourself and your barkada in a really nice sophisticated ambiance and enjoy affordable Japanese food and great selections of cocktails, alcohols and even wine.

Nommu is a restobar that serves Japanese fusion cuisine. They also have a branch in Tomas Morato, but it wasn't until my visit with The Food Crawlers that I finally got a taste of what they have to offer. That evening, we met up with owner Natasha Reyes who had us try some of their bestsellers.Spicy Tuna Sashimi (P225)I COULD NOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS. It's no ordinary sashimi since the tuna is mixed with tempura flakes and Japanese mayo, which reminded me of my other favorite - Teriyaki Boy's Tempura Tuna Tartare. It could have used more tempura flakes in my opinion, but I love the generous servings of tuna in this one.Volcano Roll (P285)What's in it: salmon, ebiko, teriyaki sauce, cheese. It's definitely my kind of maki. As much as I love the regular california maki, I couldn't say no to this one because of all the CHEESE! Some people might consider this to be too saucy, but that's exactly what I like about it. This is one of the dishes I'm definitely coming back for at Nommu.

We came a little before 9pm and got the surprise of our life! Buy 1 take 1 on orders of tempura! So for P280 we got 10 huge shrimps and 2 bowls of delicious tempura sauce. We really got a good deal so this review is going to be super biased. My friend tried the matchacotta and was sincerely happy. And another friend got a don buri which he devoured in the car. He was hungry so maybe it was crazy delicious.Service was awesome too.Ambience was nothing spectacular but I love how spacious the restaurant was. Will be back to give a better review.
