Kessaku is a casual restaurant serving a full range of authentic, top-quality Japanese food. True to their name, the word “kessaku” (pronounced kessah-koo, accent on the ‘koo’) translates to “creating masterpieces“. Their no-frills menu includes everything from sushi boats to tempura, wagyu cubes, and more. It’s for satisfying those never ending Japanese cravings. It’s not for those adventurous eaters looking for modern or fusion eats. We recommend the Chirashi Moriawase, Kessaku Sushi Boat, and the Angus Prime Chahan. Our insider tip: Enjoy their Classic Margarita, Lychee Martini, and Classic Mojito with their Extended Happy Hour! (P65/drink, 5-8pm Fridays-Sundays)

Viet Asia brings you simple and satisfying taste of Vietnam. They let you experience the unique taste of Vietnamese cuisine without traveling too far away from home. It’s for those who want a taste of Vietnam without leaving the country. It’s not for those who aren’t fans of pho. We recommend the Pho Filet Mignon, Banh Mi Pork, and Garlic Noodles With Grilled Shrimp.

Ramen Yushoken serves tonkotsu broth ramen using a recipe from ramen master, Yamagishi Kazuo. It’s a casual restaurant with fast service and a tight menu. It’s for ramen lovers in the South. It’s not for Makati diners—Mendokoro Ramenba a.k.a. Yushoken 2.0 is right in Salcedo Village! We recommend the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen or the spicy Tantan-men with Aji-Tamago on the side. Our insider tip: Ask for their off-menu items.
