Matsuri
is a Japanese restaurant along Tomas Morato extension ( near ABS-CBN compound). Thanks to my friend who invited me to
attend his birthday celebration I was able to try their food.
The
Restaurant actually looks more like a modern Zen inspired house rather than a
traditional Japanese tea house with paper lanterns and Japanese banners.
They offer ala carte or buffet but you don't
have to stand up and fall in line. Just wave your hand and order all you want. To
give its diners the most sumptuous dining experience at a very reasonable
price.
Matsuri has extensive selection of sushi with Dynamite Roll, California Maki with Flying Fish Roe, Philadelphia Roll and AsparaKani Maki as their best sellers which are a great combination to its grilled dishes. Some these are: Grilled Angus Prime with Shiitake Teriyaki, Angus Prime Shioyaki, and Ushi Ebi Shioyaki (tiger prawns).
We begun our
meal with Spicy Salmon. This dish is not as spicy as I would imagine.
It was topped with Tempura Flakes that was quite a distraction to taste the
salmon. What I did is I removed the flakes to enjoy that nice smooth melt
in your mouth texture.
Spicy Salmon
Chicken Teriyaki
It
was chicken grilled with teriyaki sauce. Chicken was tender and teriyaki sauce mixed perfectly not to sweet it was just right. Yummm!
Tempura
This was better than most of the Japanese restaurant which convinced me to grab another order of this dish.
I was also able to
try their Grilled platters, which includes Kani Bacon Maki, Gyu, Shita Tsukune,
Uzura, Tebasaki, Shitakani Bacon and Ika. This dish
is cooked and seasoned perfectly bringing out the flavor of each dish (Recommended
for groups)
Overall,
the service was good. Servers are attentive enough to attend to our
needs. They also made their recommendations and advised us on what to
order. The food came out fast except for our last orders. But it
was understandable since we are a large group and they need to attend to other customers’
needs that made them busier.
