We discovered this place last year while driving down Arnaiz Avenue. Though Ramen is not my type, it is definitely the type of my three boys!

They are so strict that they do not allow you to take home their ramen probably for fear that you will not like the ramen when it is not freshly served.

Definitely a MUST TRY for RAMEN eaters! 

There is a giant ramen decor in the restaurant 🙂

Of course gyoza again 

Unit 1-2 Upper Ground Floor Tesoro Building 822 A. Arnaiz Avenue ( Pasay road ) Makati

This is one of the favorite restaurant of the kids.  Good thing it is very near the house. Very good japanese food at reasonable prices!

Most of the time we bump into the owner, Vince, who is a gradeschool friend of James.  Vince and his wife, Chelle, got this franchise.  They are very hands on and are often in the restaurant running the day to day operations.

Jaime’s favorite dish – RAMEN!! and it has to be SPICY!

I liked this tofu dish the waitress recommended to me.  It is sizzling, a bit sweet and spicy.  I do not really like spicy but this was bearable.  I ate it with rice. YUMMY!

Ramen places always have gyoza!

Gyudon!! Kids favorite especially Javier.  Better without the egg yolk for health reasons

Tonkatsu Curry!!! YUMMY!!! They do it so well.  It is just like the ones in Japan!!

They also cater at very very reasonable prices! P185.00 per person for Japanese food? Wow! 

They also have party platters

and packed meals!!

I was given a choice to eat wherever I want, so I chose one of my favorites, Pepato ( Nov. 25, 2008 ).  

When I go back to a restaurant I have been to already, I promised myself that I will not order the same thing again and again.  I will make sure that I have a new experience and try other things on the menu.  Mireille Guiliano ( French Women Don’t Get Fat January 21, 2009  ) said that “Gastronomic boredom leads to lots of unhealthy eating.  If you don’t make improvisation and experimentation a part of your eating life, you are sure to find yourself in an eating rut.  It’s as bad as a romantic rut – losing that spark-and just as likely to get you in trouble!”   

So, I did not order my favorite foie gras dish ( August 16, 2007)!  But I discovered other wonderful dishes! 

Just their first complimentary dish excites me already….They normally give you a bite from their appetizers menu- I do not know what this is called but it reminded me of a mini Mille Feuille but salty not sweet.  I loved it! 

I really like the tasting portions in Pepato – Raviolini, chicken liver pate sage butter.  It follows very much the concept of Mireille G.

Seafood pasta – special request by James 

Linguini with Angel Wings ” Diwal” 

Marlin Steak Grilled Plum Tomatoes Capiz fish roe

Love the gigantic pepper mills of Gaita 

 US Angus Roast Garlic Caperberry sauce

Truffle Fries!!! 

 They even gave extra truffle on the side!! 

Great food and great company always goes well.  Thanks Kookie for sharing a meal with us.
