A few weeks back, I went to Manila again for an event. Went to SM Megamall for some window shopping together with my brother n my sis-in-law. We had our late lunch at Yabu: House of Katsu, its located at the 2nd floor Atrium in Megamall. A few months back, I had seen a friend’s picture as he was dining at this resto. I was curious about what this Japanese Restaurant’s food is about. As we entered the resto, the ambience was good and there are lots of people dining. As I was browsing the menu, I had found out that their specialty is more of the TONKATSU, with a choice of either the Pork Loin (ROSU) or the Pork Tenderloin (HIRE). Aside from that they also offer the Katsu sets which are composed of Jumbo Prawn, Dory Fish, Salmon & Jumbo Oyster. I ordered the Tonkatsu meal which is composed of a piece of Rosu, unlimited Japanese Rice, Miso Soup, Cabbage unlimited w/ japanese dressing & a cup of Fresh fruits. Here are what the 3 of us ordered for our late Lunch:
A set of the Rosu Meal, A set of Tonkatsu Meal and a set of the Curry Tonkatsu meal. My favorite meal is the Curry Meal since I love the spicy sauce that comes with the katsu and rice. It comes with the sauces on top picture the black pepper n sesame seeds which are to be grind plus a sauce (not in the picture) will be mixed for the Rosu Tonkatsu. While the picture on the bottom is the sauce for the cabbage. I would say that I had enjoyed a sumptuos lunch at Yabu although I find their meals quite pricey. But will definitely comeback to try their Seafood Tonkatsus on my next Manila visit. They also offer kiddie meals.
RATING: 4/5
Budget: around 300-500 per person. U can also share since the servings are quite big 🙂

I wish they will open a store here in Davao. Curious to know, do they have Sushi, Maki and Udon in their menu?
Ate Dulce, they don’t have the usual Maki.Sushi and Udon. they are more concentrated on the Tonkatsus 😀
sumptuous lunch indeed. Foods look interesting, and I think taste good too. I hope they will open a branch here in Davao,
yup..hopefully they can cater to the Davao market soon 😀
Yabu has a lot of good reviews, it’s got quite a stir in the blogging world. Unfortunately, it’s too far for me to try. =(
Btw, I love your blog layout. =)
yep..hopefully they will have a branch here..para accessible na sya to Davaoenos 😀
With a number of Japanese restaurants opening left and right here in Davao, I’ve recently developed a fondness for Japanese food. Looking at your photos, feeling ko tuloy gutom ako kahit bago lang ako kumain ng lunch! Haha!
