This restaurant has been operating since I was in college but I did get to try the food here only after graduating college. Eating Japanese food here was the first time I've ever eaten Japanese food and I tried the California Maki Rolls. I am thankful that first time introduction to Japanese food gave me a positive view on Japanese cuisine from what I was always used to.


Ever since I tasted Yutaka's version of California Maki, this has been the standard for all other California Maki I will eat because this is my first maki. The taste of freshness of the ingredients and right saltiness level are two things in Yutaka's maki that I really like.  


They have a good menu if you are interested to try Japanese food.

Here the menu for you to browse through:

Makimono

Sashimi, Sushi & Gunkan

Bento box & Teishoku Sets (Meals with rice and miso soup)

Donburi (meat, seafood or vegatable dishes served over a bowl of rice)

Noodles with or without soup

Short orders

Or you can order SETS



Finally, when you get to choose what dish you would like to try at Yutaka, don't forget to ask for their free unlimited house tea as long as you're dining in.

I think this is one of the few Japanese restaurants in Quezon city. I remember a former schoolmate who lived in Japan for a month or two once told me that Yutaka tastes like authentic Japanese food so I remembered that when I finally ate there.

My friend asked me to accompany her in shopping outfits in H&M Robinsons Magnolia so after using up our energy in choosing what clothes that suits my friend, we wanted to eat something light.
The bright and detailed pictures of the dishes in Yakitori One caught my sight so I suggested to eat here.

Can you see the bright colored pictures that I'm talking about?


The restaurant is located in the food court of Robinson's Magnolia.
I've got no idea about Yakitori One except that I think it sells delicious Yakitori obviously. I ate yakitori before at Eat Fresh Hongkong Famous street food in San Juan and I really liked it.

Our food

We shared the food because we wanted to eat light. I wished we ordered more though.

I haven't bond with the two of my closest friends in college so we had our bonding/eating session at Yabu (Robinson's Magnolia branch).
 

We had happy chitchats before our orders were served. We enjoyed our long talks since we saw each other a very long time ago.

I was really impressed at Yabu when I got to sit and observe the whole place. I liked that the furniture, lighting, and even the menu (that looks elegant) all fit perfectly to give a great ambiance even before eating.

Condiments

You must crush the sesame seeds on your own as this will be part of your sauce. This kind of experience was very nice because it made waiting for the food pass by quickly (also because we had a lot to talk about). I liked the smell of the sesame seeds being crushed.

A quick picture of my friends before we ate. Both of them ate here before and I was the first-timer yet they wanted to eat here again so I thought it was that good in Yabu.
