Yabu - Manila

I'm about to try this Restaurant tomorrow. I hope it won't disappoint me. See yah

Craving satiafied!!! Before taking UP-CAT for SY2019 Power Up! Good luck bunso

SUMMARY: 4.75/5 (food score Ate here more than 10 times na. The katsu sets are complete and worth the money. You don't have to order the more expensive meats (I don't . The regular Rosu is good enough (lots of fat pa sarap . If there’s only the two of you on a date, I strongly advise you to only order ONE set each (without additional orders. Masyadong nakakabusog na. 5/5 for the experience and price 1. ROSU KATSU SET 4.5/5 Rosu Katsu Set comes in 3 sizes (80, 120, 180g , with rice, cabbage, miso soup, and fruits (all refillable . they teach you how to prepare the sauce prior to eating which is basically grinding the sesame seeds before pouring the brown sauce. This is my favorite item on the menu. The crispy panko coating, the thick slab of meat with trimming of fat, and the katsu sauce with the aromatic sesame seeds. The rosu katsu also goes well with the mustard on the side, but in moderation, as the mustard can get really hot. The meat is soft despite its thickness, and flavorful as compared to its leaner counterpart (hire . I eat the meat with the cabbage side. The dressing i like the most would be the sesame dressing. This is the place that taught me how to appreciate Kewpie hahaha. The sesame dressing in the salad, complements the katsu sauce well. if you want it a bit spicy, you can also try pouring some torigashi over your rice. You think that all the flavors from the meat and salad and mustard must be so confusing, but Katsu sauce rice salad dressing mustard Just wow!!! Oddly, all their katsu dishes tastes ALL ALIKE be it PORK (or MENCHI , FISH, CHICKEN or TEMPURA (yep tried it all . However, this goes without saying that they serve amazing Katsu style dishes. A tip would be order the smallest rosu dish if you don’t feel like spending alot, but also want a filling meal. 2. Mozzie sticks 5/5 This is by far the best mozarella stick i have ever tried— EVER! Gooey mozzarella inside the crisp breading topped with herbs i am not sure of. It is served with a tangy tomato based sauce. The BEST!!!! try it. If it were up to me, id order this every time i am at yabu, but i easily get full, so i make sure i am with a lot of people when i order this hahaha. 3. Katsudon 4/5 ok meal. don’t make the mistake of putting tonkatsu sauce over this. The flavor gets lost.

Yabu is one of first restos to offer premium katsu sets. Tonight we ordered hiro 120g (pork loin) and menchi set (ground beef with cheese). Each set have unli cabbage slaw, rice, miso soup and fruit (pineapple, watermelon). I love their katsu (equally with saboten) its light panco breading and tender moist meat inside 'hindi nakaka umay '. What i love about yabu is the over all dining experience (creating your own katsu sauce). definitely a favorite place for picky eaters like kids and my brother.

After quite a few months of not eating Katsu, the crave suddenly kicked in. Of course, with the limited number of restaurants serving Katsu, my friends and I decided to get a reservation from Yabu: House of Katsu. This is my third time eating at the very famous Katsu restaurant. I have always been in love with their Katsu and the complementary unlimited dishes that they serve with it. Two of my friends ordered the menchi katsu with curry, my other friend ordered the dori and tempura katsudon and I ordered their tiger prawns. Just like any other review, let's assess the overall quality of the restaurant according to the taste of their food, the service and the ambience. In terms of the taste, I can say that I'm a little bit disappointed with my prawns. The color was not golden brown and quite uneven with the other sides. Furthermore, it seemed like the breading was un proportional to the size of the prawns. I tasted more of the breading than the actual flavor of the prawns. With my friends who ordered the menchi katsu with the curry, they mentioned that the eating experience could have been better, if their meals were served warm. Also, they thought that following the server's advice to get a sunny side up egg with their meal was wrong because the cheese from the katsu and the yolk of the egg made the food a little bit gross and produced an eery flavor. My friend who had the katsudon said that he enjoyed everything and he loved the combination the flavors. Of course, their complementary side dishes were always over the top especially their cabbage with the most amazing sesame dressing. In terms of the taste, I say I can give this a 3/5 stars. In terms of service, Yabu is the best place to come if you really want to be accommodated well. The servers went back and forth to our table, inquiring if we need any refills with our side dishes. They were very quick in responding to our needs. Definitely a 5/5 stars! When it comes the ambience, I prefer dining at other branches, the place here looks quite ordinary and too plain. But don't worry, there are no issues when it comes to cleanliness. It still looked fine. A 3/5 stars for this! Overall, I had a great lunch at Yabu. I just wished I ordered their Hire or Menchi Katsu. At least, now I know better.
