Apetizers u can order in 2s for under 200php wyl ur Kurobuta fries 2 perfection. Baby octo+cucumber is tasty+a little zing. Seaweed+fish roe however is my best new discovery- fresh+flavorful.

Janeb Neri

It's my first time to dine here and to try eating Katsu , and it was pretty satisfying. Very happy with their service and of course the food. I ordered, I believe they call it Rosu. Love their unlirice

John Reyes

On Esquire's, Best Restaurants list for 2012! :) Well deserved @YabuPH for the best Katsu in town !! :D PS~To fellow customers, don't forget to use the mustard on your plate for the Katsu ! ;o)

Chicken Katsu Curry Set is pure deliciousness! So far, branches are consistent with the crunchy coating and soft, juicy meat inside. There are three levels of spiciness to choose from.

Lauren Cruz

Best branch in terms of service. The servers are accommodating; the manager always greets with a smile. The unlimited sides are an added bonus! Well-deserved award for being one of the best restos.

Neri De Castro

The Kurobuta set is a must-try. It magically melts in your mouth! Love the delish miso w/ firm but soft tofu+seaweed. Unlimited miso , rice , coleslaw &fruits . Great service. What else could u wish for?

Margaret C

Yabu is something I would drive all the way to megamall for. Food is a absolutely great. Oysters were divine! Lightly breaded and bursting with flavor. Unlimited rice , cabbage , pickles ...all good! ( :

Chet Francisco - Ramos

Black Tiger Prawn Katsu is the best for me. I suggest the Mixed Katsu Set 2 so you can try the best of everything. Lastly, take advantage of the unli cabbage and drizzle that sesame dressing in there

Jan Chester Lema

The customer service is great. Every staff is friendly . The serving is also fit with the price. The veggies taste good with the sesame dressing . Overall, this is a good place to eat :)

Diana Ross

Menchi Katsu---if you want a cheesy side of your fave katsu . The curry katsu sets are also good (you can choose level of heat in the curry ). ????????

Barbs Dalumps

If you want something that's not pork , get the salmon katsu . And get Hiroshima oysters on the side. My sister cried when she first took a bite out of it lol it was that delicious.

Xtian Stan

food awesome, service great, ambiance good. We had the korobuta and the mixed seafood katsu . must sample the Oyster Katsu . you're in for a surprise. ;-) instant addition to faves list. Yay!

Angelika Esquillo

Tender loving care is all I can say with its meat! And yes i love those shredded cabbage topped with sesame dressing .

Annie Francisco

Must try the Salmon katsu and Menchi katsu with cream cheese inside. It's really the best! Love the unli cabbage and fruits . Service was great! Excellent! Good job.

Tengal Drilon

Not a big fan of katsu , with too much of that all over the place. But the miso katsu is definitely one of the best here. Crispy outside, soft inside, with thick miso soup . New katsu convert.

Marivic Lopa Silva

the pork , chicken & seafood set are delicious — it goes well with the potato salad , wakame salad , edamame & tofu on the side! the servings are big, come hungry!

Juliet Amazona

The best katsudon I've ever tasted! Unlimited rice , cabbage and soup ! I love their original katsudon . Yum!

Jaymee del Mundo

For the Katsu Sauce, you have to GRIND the sesame seeds first, the POUR the special Katsu Sauce and finally MIX it together with the chopstick.

Celine T.

Japanese Chicken Curry has always been my fave. Yabu is my 2nd fave Katsu Curry place. My fave would always be Ginza Barin. :)

Bryan Posadas

For all Katsu lovers , katsudon set meal or tonkatsu ......they really live up to their name ... House of Katsu .... Highly recommended!!! Service is also great..... Can't wait for my next eats

Lenna D.

You can hang bags under table using bag holders. Convenient! And going solo, I was seated in less than a minute despite the long line . Sometimes its worth it going solo

NicoLe.

better than the one in Robinsons Magnolia. It got more seats, the manager got visibility and engaging with customers, the servers were ALL very nice, and their cabbage was finely sliced. *wink*

RFT Reyes

Currently the king of Katsu cooking in Metro Manila. The Kurobuta (Black Berksire Pig ) katsu is just so tender, it's like it melts in your mouth. Read more

Lemuel ❖

. excellent service . best katsu . unlimited: rice dessert salad soup . its an experience to make your own katsu sauce

Ronaldo Cruz

I had the very simple rosu katsu set. The pork tasted so...clean. Hahaha. Staff 's amazing.

Olly

Everything is delicious! My favourite is the Rosu Katsudon , it's better than Japan.

Izy Yeux

we had the chicken and seafood katsu (a seafood lover here) and i loved the oysters ! ♡

Anna Crame

The food is definitely good. Their Rosu Katsu is great. The burger version is incredible! But I did not like the service.

Dionefil Tumulak

Katsu rules here! Their appetizers go very well with their main courses. I like the chicken katsu as it is very tender!

Sheila Cruz

Chicken and pork katsu sets are satisfying! Couldn't even finish the 120gm set. So unless you're really hungry, order the smaller-sized set.

Kurt Cabillon

Try their Katsu Meal set. It comes with unlimited rice , miso soup , salad . It'll surely be worth it. Very sumptuous.

Lawrence Agpasa

The Korubota (whatever it's called) melts in the mouth! Best pork meat I've ever tasted! #unlicabbage

Lawrence Agpasa

As always, the Katsu is best eaten with those cabbages , side dishes and amazing selection of sauces!

Elle

Excellent service and the best katsu in Manila. Gets very busy during peak lunch and dinner hours.

Mai Smsn

I love the Chicken Katsu meal. So sulit and so delicious! Put sesame dressing on your rice to be more appetizing . :)

MK Chan

Enjoy nice lunch and dinner ... Mango juice is very good, try it!

Coco Teotico

Awesome service! They even watch you eat. And breathe... Double check your bill before you leave doe ????

Frances Lim

Undoubtedly the restaurant with the best customer service! Every once in a while they check on their customers whether they want a cabbage or rice refill.

Gem TS

Oh please. You guys have to try the salmon katsu and the oyster . To die for!

Yan D.

Yabu is heaven! So full. Thank you for the good food and service. Definitely worth the price. Love it :)

April R.

Yabu doesn't accept reservations , so it'll take a while for you and your family/friends to be seated. Go early to be able to eat early.

Gian Carlo

Best tonkatsu ive tasted! Great customer service too!

Oliver C

Service level is excellent when the supervisor Mon Tecson is around. He moves around and keeps an eye out for any diner 's requirements.

angel macalino

This is a good resto.. With their sauce drama and all.. Plus the unli rice and shredded cabbage . But the tempura ? Seoul barbecue in libis is still better.

Angelica Jose

I found the Special Katsudon overdone. However, the Salmon Katsu (ala carte) was just right!

Rosell Bantay

unli rice , unli shredded cabbage , unli hot tea . the best! my daughter loves the fish katsu ❤

Benjax Rivera

The best Tongkatsu in town !!! A must try! Don't forget to try the baby octopuses . Very tasty.

Francis Santos

As a japan resident, Yabu is still one of the top katsu in Manila

Julia Estrebor

Fell in love in this restaurant the first time we went here. Love the food. Yum yum

amira ortega-quiapo

Excellent service , no need to ask for refill. For heavy rice eater but on a budget, order Rosu set 120g.
