Back in Minnnesota we used to go to this restaurant where they serve sushi and robata. It is our default dinner place when we cannot decide where to go. So when we tried this place in BGC because every other place has long queues, it kind of reminded me of our weekend dinners in MN with 2 kids under 2.
Time flies and it's been more than 6 years since we moved back to PH. Kids probably don't remember how winter was like in their birth city. 😂
Anyway it's weird that I travelled back to memory lane because of the food 😂 If you are craving for Japanese robata, drop by Nikkei Robata in Uptown Ritz. This is not a paid ad lol 😂 I just feel like sharing because I enjoyed the dinner hehehehe and I seldom talk about or recommend food because I rarely get impressed with food but when I do I tell people about it LOL
Here's what we got and what I think about it
Salmon Sashimi - Warren wasn't impressed because he said the cut was too thick so maybe it didn't have that melting in your mouth feeling. I don't eat sashimi so I cannot tell anything about it 😂
Prawn Sashimi - Warren had these too looks like he enjoyed this better than the salmon
Soft Shell Crab Roll - this was supposed to be my order but Wyllan liked it a lot so he end up eating everything. I was only able to eat one, too much rice for me and too much kewpie 😂 I prefer Masu's shoft shell crab roll but overall it wasn't bad
Hokkaido Scallops with Uni Sauce - This I probably would order again, the scallops were cooked nicely and adding the sauce made it taste even better (note that I am not fond of sauces in my food). I probably would come back to the restaurant for this 😂 Wyllan loved it too. I felt we should've ordered more because 2 orders is not enough lol
Robata Steak - I would come back for this as well. We had it at medium rare. The steak was seasoned well that Warren didn't even ask for a steak sauce. He usually does hehe.. it is paired with mashed potatoes which is also OK. Kids loved it too so maybe this would be our regular order when we visit the place again. The serving is a bit small for the price but it was good anyway 😀
Salmon Teriyaki - I didn't eat this since I don't like sweet sauces. Cerise didn't like the teriyaki (just because we don't like sweet sauce) but if you are fond of teriyaki, this one might be good for you. Cerise ate the entire Salmon because Wyllan decided to eat my order 😂
Chicken Teriyaki - Same as Salmon.. we actually didn't eat this since we are already full when it was served. I am heating it for today's lunch LOL but it was paired with coleslaw and fried tiny strips of sweet potato which the kids and I enjoyed lol
Ebi Kushiyaki - love this too! They might have over-grilled it but I love the simple flavor because I get to enjoy the flavor of the prawns. I definitely would have this again because I love prawns 😂
Overall dinner was good, if it's worth the price... not so sure because if it is good then I think it is worth the price LOL Warren paid for dinner so maybe we should ask him 😂
