Kai in Metro Manila

"Exquisite dining. Suitable for entertaining VIPs privately, for class reunions (for the wide space), birthdays, or for a feel of luxury at the upper middle class range. If you're looking for something Japanese that not only looks right but also tastes right in the good alley, then this is the place. Tastes authentic enough and presented well as if in a hotel's 5-star buffet. We tried the outdoor option on a mild rainy night where it was cool and comfortable. The screens make for a lovely mood in a serene Asian aura, the occasional pitter patter noteworthy. The servers appear well-trained and were never intrusive during our leisure meeting. I observed how they were also very attentive in filling in our cups of water without the need to ask for a refill, that was good. Two servers were on standby at either end of our table. They took our group photo upon request too. But I would say the glare from the evening warm lamp affected the photo, there was no way to avoid it. The plated dishes were interesting to look at, like artwork that sets the mood. Just the 7 seafood sashimi sampler platter had unique spelled to it for the eel and the other extra is worth it, better than when compared to the 5 type option. Tuna sashimi went out fast, large enough for our mouths and we couldn't help it. The chicken skewers were fun, tasty enough and smells of a well-thought of sauce, you feel like wanting more. The mushroom skewers were similarly presented, it balances the chicken skewers somehow as a side dish. The rice bowl gyudon looked small yet was quite filling. The different tempura and egg rolls were crunchy and has a way of ending in your stomach without noticing much were eaten quickly because of the mild side. The vegetable stir fry was good in that you'll find carrots okay to eat in the flavors that blended like a dance. Restroom doors had no labels, but you may check the hanging artwork's traditional attire to figure out the Male and Female side. This abstract presentation artistically complies to the Philippines' Gender mainstreaming initiative without being too forward. It's a single person restroom too so it feels safe. Overall, I think this is a place worth revisiting in the future for the sake of trying more Japanese dishes when you crave for something more special than usual."

"Beautiful modern interiors and ambiance though I was expecting a more Japanese aesthetic. The food came in a timely matter. Delicious and clean. I'll visit again and try more sushi rolls. The staff were very attentive and were very quick to refill our drinks. Also we asked if we could transfer to another table in which the staff we very kind to accommodate our request. Important to note the tip or service charge is not included in the bill. Be generous to the staff, it's worth it. See you again soon."

"Fantastic and very appetizing kind of plating. The ingredients were fresh, which made me come back twice within 3 weeks. The staff are friendly and attentive. The outdoor astmosphere is romantic."

"Finally got to eat here once again after more than two years. Service and food are still great. We tried different dishes this time as we were feeling adventurous, and we were not disappointed."

"One of my go to Japanese restaurants. Food and service are always consistently great! What we ordered: beef teppan, chicken teppan, tempura cauliflower (kinda tastes like teriyaki with a kick), spicy tuna maki, spicy tuna tartare with prawn crackers and seaweed"

"My first time dining here at the recommendation of a relative. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Sukiyaki was good, but my favorite was the dessert. I found it creative and good too. Service was great & cr was clean"

"A great Japanese spot in Greenbelt for small bites! We love coming here for the high-quality food, just-right portions that leave room for more, and the consistently attentive service. The interiors and restrooms are also always clean."

"You have to try the Chilean sea bass at this resto! Freshly pan-seared infused with truffle mushroom jus... I'd go back just because of this dish. Here's my short list of 'must tries', in no particular order: 1. Soft Shell Crab Salad 2. Unagi Roll 3. Tuna Tartare Servers are very attentive too! Plus points for that, enjoy!"
