1st time ko makakain ng Katsu, and I could say na buti na lang dito ako nakatikim ng 1st Katsu sa life ko.. mas lalo na ung Chicken Katsu, I just gave 4 kasi di ko natripan ung lasa ng Menshi, although masarap sya kasi sobrang lambot ng meat, pero di ko lng talaga nagswak ung lasa sakin.. pero for the Chicken... napakasarap talaga. I ordered the 2 and medyo nagsisi ako na sana buong Chicken Katsu na lang inorder ko.

We celebrated our friend's birthday here last night. I can say that the ambience was good even if they were having slight problems with the a/c. The lighting was enough to see your food and to make the room cozy.This is actually my second time around here. Always free because it was a dinner treat. I ordered for the mechie katsu set last night and didn't get disappointed.The meat was tender and juicy even if I ordered this mix of pork and beef katsu. The miso soup that came in with the meal set at 390 was about 4/5 as well compared to the one they serve in Urameshi-ya, an authentic Jap resto in Makati. I had 2 servings of it which proves my point. 😅First serving of rice was so enjoyable because of the sesame seeds in it. The slaw was still fresh and crisp and you also get to make your own dressing or sauce with it.The fruit servings was the best for me since I really love pineapples.Over all, I had an enjoyable meal. A little over the budget for me but since we get unlimited rice, I have no right to complain. I hooe they provide more options to create your sauces, I was thinking of balsamic vinegar but then again, that is no longer Japanese.

I've been to several katsu places, and can say with all confidence that Yabu tastes the best! Service is excellent and food quality is topnotch! Looove the Tori Menchi Katsu forever! 😋

Our katsu looked slightly over cooked. It’s a deeper brown than the usual golden. At 11:30 am I found it too warm. Like they only turned the ac on for half the section. Bill took just way too long to come out, maybe about 20 mins. The cabbage refills were also lacking, had to wait to get them. And they were served dripping on my plate.We still somewhat enjoyed our meal. Yabu is one of those reliable places to dine in.

Looove the katsu here! Specially the menchi (cheese and ham) set! The katsu itself is not unlimited, but all other sides are refillable without limit (rice, fruits, cabbages, soup).

Agedashi TofuIt's basically tofu with the famous, crunchy panko coating. This was deliciously expensive!Chicken KatsuIt's a slightly healthier and more affordable option than pork (hire or rosu) but the pork does taste amazing with a little bit of fat.Lychee and Peach Iced TeaI like that the refillable glass was thin enough to control my pacing. The beverage was pretty good but made me stick to one rice only.Menchi KatsuLiking this dish attracts different feedback. It's good but some don't want their cheese mixed with meat. Some do, such as myself, but it turned out to be pretty heavy. Yet, even that characteristic can be super for some... such as myself.Mozzarella Katsu SticksThese were super! The cheese put up a fight after every bite, not letting go of the katsu like it had a life that depended on it, if that makes any sense. I truly enjoyed their flavor since they weren't too salty.ServiceThanks to JM for getting all our orders right! She also did well with the refills.TipsFor set meals, white rice also comes in brown, which is healthier but just as heavy IMO.If you get Katsu Curry, you might not need to crush your sesame seeds and mix with Tonkatsu Sauce anymore. But if you're adventurous, ignore me completely! 😊The sauce container for the cabbage is pretty difficult since it serves you by the drop. I sometimes take the cover off to hasten the sloth but it can get messy and increase wastage. Get only what you need and wipe it up a bit after closing it again. Or ignore me completely because the management might not like this practice. 😊

Ordered creamy Dori katsu. It's basically a Japanese item, Dori fish roasted and fried which comes with katsu sauce, rice and cabbages. Sesheme seeds add a very nice flavor in it. Loved the taste.

As always, Yabu gives best service with servers mostly attentive and always ready to take orders and requests/refills.We ordered menchi curry and menchi katsu. The rice serving’s surprisingly hefty from the last time we tried Yabu. Hence, we no longer ordered refill.The curry tastes like your typical Japanese curry. You can request the level of spiciness or whether you want it served separately or topped on your rice. Nothing’s changed with its katsu and sauce, it’s still the classic sweet we love and we still love their goma sauce on the shredded cabbage. The Eatventurers

We ate here for dinner tonight. I was surprised that the quality of service went down. Why? First of all, we ordered 1 lychee iced tea, hot tea and house blend iced tea. The appetizer came first before our drinks then it was only the lychee iced tea and hot tea were served. We followed up the house blend after having the hot tea, Still the house blend iced tea was not served. Once again I followed up the house blend iced tea and it still took a while for it to be served. Food was still good though. Once we were done eating, I have asked for the bill but It took a while again. It was not busy during the time that we dined but still I had to follow up the house blend iced tea and the bill. Im a bit disappointed with the service.

Their set makes for quite a filling meal! I usually order the 120g Hire Katsu Set which comes with the Hire Katsu (of course, at around 500 cal), Rice (200 cal), Cabbage salad with Goma sauce (80 cal/half cup), Miso soup (35 cal), Fruit slices (50 cal).Calories: Maybe at least 865 for the 120g Hire Katsu Set. Could be more depending on your refills or how much sauce you use.1 - Hated it | 2 - Didn't like | 3 - It's ok | 4 - Liked it | 5 - Loved it
