Yakimix is a pioneer in the\u00a0eat-all-you-can restaurant <\/strong>category. They serve various Japanese, Chinese and Korean dishes\u00a0ready for eating or for grilling at affordable buffet rates. Aside from grilled meats, the\u00a0buffet also includes cooked dishes, sushi and desserts.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who can load up\u00a0in one sitting. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who want a relaxed sit-down dinner. Our insider tip<\/strong> is there are no phone reservations on weekends so better come early to have your name listed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Korean Palace Restaurant is a 30 year-old gem in Malate known for saving authentic Korean<\/strong> cuisine. It’s for<\/strong> big and small groups craving for traditional Korean dishes from bulgogi to bibimbap. It’s not for\u00a0<\/strong>diners looking for fusion dishes. We recommend<\/strong> the Dolsot Bibimbap, Kalbi Jim, and Shrimp Tempura. Our insider tip: The place is also good for parties or private events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ippudo is a popular ramen<\/strong> joint specializing in Hakata-style Tonkotsu (pork-based) ramen produced in their kitchen and tailor-fitted for the Filipino palate. It is\u00a0a joint venture with the guys at Yabu.\u00a0It\u2019s for\u00a0<\/b>straight up ramen minus the fancy embellishments of modern cuisine. It\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/b>people looking for an extensive Japanese menu, although special items are occasionally\u00a0introduced. We recommend\u00a0<\/b>their Shiromaru Motoji Ramen and the Pork Buns–plus the new Tsukemen Ramen.\u00a0Our insider tip:<\/b>\u00a0Cute \u201ckiddie sets\u201d may be requested for your little ones. P.S.\u00a0Ippudo just opened their SM Mall of Asia branch<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Anything Fried is a\u00a0boardgame cafe<\/strong>\u00a0located along Strada Street Food Park. It offers fried comfort food from rice meals to fun\u00a0desserts and milkshakes. It’s for<\/strong> friends and families who want an interactive afternoon of food and games. It’s not<\/strong> for diners on a diet. We recommend<\/strong> their Bagnet in Kare-Kare Sauce, Fried Matcha Oreos, and their Chicken Wings. Our insider tip:<\/strong> On a tight budget? Don’t worry, almost all\u00a0their dishes are just P99 and below!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ramen Nagi is a Tokyo-hailed restaurant considered to be\u00a0one of the most popular ramen joints<\/strong>\u00a0in the country today. It’s for<\/strong> Japanese food enthusiasts with high standards for their ramen. It’s not for<\/strong> diners looking for quick items to go.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong>\u00a0the Original King (Butao) and the Black King (Kuroo), which is made with squid ink. Our insider tip:<\/strong> You can customize your ramen from\u00a0your toppings down to the firmness of your noodles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cyma is a Greek and Mediterranean-inspired<\/strong> restaurant that was quick to\u00a0gain a following because of its flavorful dishes. The \u201cOpa!\u201d cheers from the service crew also draw much\u00a0attention and curiosity from passers by.\u00a0It\u2019s for\u00a0<\/strong>groups of all sizes looking\u00a0to relax and fill their bellies with\u00a0authentic Greek comfort food. It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0people with short lunch breaks.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong> the Roka Salata Salad, Moussaka, and Cyma Lamb Chops.\u00a0Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0They have endless side salads if you order one of their specials on a weekday. P.S. They have a \u201cto-go charge\u201d for takeouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

CoCo Ichibanya Curry House, Japan\u2019s #1 curry house<\/strong>, was brought to Manila\u00a0by the UCC Group. Guests can\u00a0customize their plates from the amount of rice, spiciness of the curry, to the toppings and sides. It\u2019s for<\/strong> anyone who loves spicy curry with lots of rice. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who should stay away from rice and fried food. We recommend<\/strong> their Pork Cutlet, Cheese Hamburger, and Shrimp Cutlet curries. Our insider tip: <\/strong>Save room for their coffee jelly dessert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gregory Park is a Mexican-inspired bistro<\/strong> dedicated to serve wholesome, vegan and vegetarian-friendly dishes<\/strong>.\u00a0It’s for<\/strong> tex-mex lovers who want a great variety of tacos and burritos. It’s not for\u00a0<\/strong>diners who prefer a fixed menu as their dishes change daily. We recommend<\/strong> their Soyrizo Quesadilla Burger, Vegan Tax Burrito, and their Southern Fried Chicken. Our insider tip: <\/strong>Make sure to try their craft soda too!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tim Hortons is Canada’s world-renowned coffee house.\u00a0<\/strong>After months of its rumored arrival to the Philippines, we’ve confirmed that it’s soon to open in BGC<\/a> and Ermita! It’s for<\/strong> all coffee lovers who have a taste for premium caffeine blends and all the pastries that go with it. It’s not for<\/strong> third-wave coffee enthusiasts. We recommend<\/strong> the Original Blend Coffee, Iced Capps, and their donuts.\u00a0Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0We have unconfirmed news that it’s opening this month of February.\u00a0Read more here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
