A couple of Sundays back, Josh and I decided to try this fastfood type Japanese restaurant in SM City Sta. Mesa before watching GotG Vol. 2. Since we were both saving up, this is the perfect restaurant for us. 😁When we got there, there were minimal customers, so we did not have to queue for a long time. They have a pay as you order policy, like most fast food restaurants. Here's what we got: FOR ME:✔ SALMON BELLY TERIYAKI (Php 189) - ⭐⭐⭐I was pleasantly surprised at how plentiful the salmon belly pieces were! 😍 Each piece was lightly fried then coated with a teriyaki glaze. The salmon was tender and tasted sweet and fresh. My complaint though, is that the rice they used is not of good quality (it tasted and looked worse than fastfood chains' rice! 😣). The teriyaki glaze was also a bit too sweet and got a bit cloying when I was halfway through my meal. ✔ MISO SOUP (Php 39) - ⭐⭐I did not like their miso soup. 😢 It has a slightly off taste, which I cannot explain what it tastes like. The "texture" of the soup was a bit weird, too. Please do not order this when you visit. FOR HIM:✔ TENDON (Php 179) - ⭐⭐Josh said that their tendon was not really that good, though I was not able to have a taste since I am not a fan of Japanese fried food. He kept on saying that the sauce was wrong, and that it should have a thicker sauce poured on top, rather than the thin tempura sauce they provided him. He still finished his meal though, so it must be tolerable. It's a relatively okay and cheap meal, but don't expect authentic Japanese food when you visit. For me, Tokyo Tokyo is still the best Japanese fast food restaurant in the metro, and you might want to visit them instead to satisfy your Japanese cravings when you're on a budget. 👌#EatDrinkSplurge
