    Nice ambience and comfort food! Salmon Donburi is a must try. Chicken rice is also good. I suggest that you get bar seats when dining in a small group. Watch them prep your food and talk to them.

    Good for date, place with a lot of hipsters kinda ppl. For drinks they have wine and their special cocktails. No local beer. Food was delicious. Portions are small and a bit pricy. But it worth it.

    What I order when I eat here: Lamb Rendang, Fried Egg Sandwich, Salmon Donburi, Pork & Beans and the Short Rib Steak. The soup and the salad is also good. :)

    The salmon donburi lives up to the hype. It's a play on sweet and savory flavors with a medley of different textures. I could use a bit more of the dried fish, but it's pretty good as it is.

    Dishes I would go back for: beef and ox tongue buns, Salmon w black rice, and the excellent 24hr beef slice ( can't remember their actual names ) and an attentive and helpful staff named Peanut :)

    whether it's brunch or dinner, you HAVE to get the chorizo sandwich in the squid ink bun. try to get a seat at the bar and watch the kitchen staff do their thing.

    The Hainanese Chicken was excellent but the Salmon Don Buri was great. A little hard to find with all the intricacies of Makati traffic but definitely worth the visit. Try when you're near.

    Lamb rendang for comfort food with a bit of heat. The torched salmon donburi for a quick, indulgent lunch main (with room to spare after!).

    You have to get the lamb rendang and/or the torched salmon donburi. Place gets full during lunch and dinner so best to reserve.

    One main or a starter is enough for two. It is super heavy, you will never finish your food, and if you have a sensitive stomach, you will have hard time digesting the meals.

    This place feels like New York city. Adventurous food for sophisticated diners. There's a secret passageway via a rotating wall going to Yardstick next door for that coffee fix after your meal.

    Seat by the bar and see the magic of prepping the dish you ordered. Also, you can easily ask the chief and cooks of what to order best.

    The food and ambiance (chorizo sandwich is great!) is as good as they say, but the service definitely needs work. I understand that this place is trendy right now, but no need to be snooty about it.

    We never tire of dining here! Food is amazing, service is great. Dinner is pretty packed but sitting by the bar isn't bad at all.

    The Salmon Donburi is a true winner. Crispy, sweet and creamy. I'll get more and this time I won't be sharing.

    Salmon Donburi and Lamb Rendang! Price range per dish is around P350 - P450 but definitely worth it.

    I got the chicken wings and the steak/fried rice. Wings had no flavor while the steak was a bit salty. Was told the place could be hit or miss, so.I'm going to give it 2 more tries.
