yaku

this place has been in the podium for quite a long time now. i knew it was owned by jason webb who is one of my favorite dlsu pointguards. but still, i wasn't able to find enough reason to dine here. until recently, since i've read quite a number of reviews.


we got some freebie green tea.

yaku platter PHP 180++ (negima, okra, uzura, asparamaki, butabara, gindara) - if you can't decide what you want to get. you can opt for the yaku platter which has several items. it has chicken, okra, quail eggs, asparagus wrapped in bacon/beef not sure on that one, pork belly and gindara with a spicy radish sauce on top.

uzra bacon (PHP90++) - yummy!!! quail eggs wrapped in bacon...cholesterol overload. the soft egg and tender bacon is a perfect match but be forewarned that it's too rich.

rebaa (PHP70++) - chicken liver. nothing fancy it's just good ol chicken liver with a hint of a sweet bbq sauce.

seafood teppanyaki (PHP 260++) - has a sweet sauce. not fit for those who are not keen on sweet food. the presentation is a miss. it's just a hodge podge of seafoods on a sizzling plate. also, the squid rings are so thin that you wouldn't think it's squid. not aesthetically appealing but a promising dish.

it has a nice ambiance, affordable food - a perfect place to hangout post shopping.
