Juan Erwin

Order rosu ! I'm not fond of katsu but I would say they've the meatiest & arguably the best katsu I have tasted. Grinding the sesame seeds is fun! It is the newest Yabu branch in the Metro!

Jeff Chan

Must try: Kurobuta pork set, Seafood katsu set 1 & 2 and Creamy crab . Customer service: Excellent. The place: Clean , looks high end and cozy . 5/5

look for server larry or niño, they're the best! super friendly . the kids don't eat veggies but they loved the cabbage ! choose brown rice over white.

Macar Hernandez

What I like about their food is everything uses fresh ingredients . Also, they serve their food nicely and explain to new customers how to prepare your sauce. The staff are friendly and accommodating.

Nelson Urdaneta

Excellent service and the food is great. Very good experience. You wouldn't know how good the free cabbage with goma (sesame dressing ) is. On my second visit I received free dessert . Thank you Joy.

Marlowe Singson

Yabu is one of my favorite restaurants . Taste and service are consistent. My winners include the rosu set, and the hire and mixed seafood set. This place is all about value for money . ????????

Charz Mendoza

Long lines during the weekend but the food sure was worth the wait! Tried the Rosu Menchi and it was superb! They also got one of the best tasting house tea in town ????

Krizy Antonio-Julian

You'll never look at katsu 's the same way again when you've tried their rosu 90. For seafood lovers, their sets are divine. Oh and did i mention unlimited rice , miso soup , fruit and cabbage salad ? :)

Menchi Katsu Curry is love! If you eat here, expect a little bit of w8ng 4 seats, friendly (and good looking!) staff , and good food. Dont eat here if you are in a hurry; you won't enjoy it as much!

Rheena Cunanan????

Brace yourself for their unlimited rice , cabbage and fruits ! They also got great katsu of different kinds - dory, shrimp , chicken , pork ..if you want Katsu , then you've come to the right place!

I like this Tonkatsu restaurant . But this isn't best Tonkatsu yet.. I'm looking forward to open another new coming Tonkatsu restaurant next week^^

Mary Maizie Carlos

I had the menchie katsu while my friend had the chicken katsu . I am not a fan of Japanese food but I really enjoyed both katsus that we ordered. Try the menchie katsu if you like cheese on your food.

Abigail Cara Jane

Always ask the waiters if you wanna clarify anything. Waitstaff mostly good but a few of them don't give great instructions. Still best Katsu experience so far. So i guess porkchop is not just porkcho

Xtian Stan

I noticed the staff here are less efficient than Megamall. Look how much time I had to grind my seeds. =P Spending less attention in training new staff , Yabu? Hope not. I still love you, though!

Regina Melad

Superb staff and service. Went here during lunch on a weekend. Despite being packed, we were served efficiently by the friendly staff even without asking ????

Marc Virata

Not a huge fan of their katsu but the appetizers are awesome! The house blend iced tea is really brewed. I know because I'm a tea lover .

Allan Lim

The katsu is really good here and the pork they have is amazing. You definitely want to try eating the kurobuta katsu at least once.

Rals Penazo

The food was great, the service was great, everything was great! It's a thumbs up! ????????????

Chesca Ferrer

Shredded cabbage and miso soup for the win! No need for rice :) Their house blended ice tea was also one of the best! :)

Pam P.

All the staff here are super friendly and very polite. Plus the food is always delish! Hope all resto staffs are trained like this. :)

Malu Faustino-Valenzuela

Food & service was excellent! 2 thumbs up! ???????? Our guests from Cebu were happy & impressed.. ???? Highly recommended!

Lorra Elena Angbue-Te

A favorite option when I'm extra hungry. The menchi katsu set is the best, not scrimping on the cheese !

Enzo Pidlaoan

Try experimenting their sauces. Best to partner with unlimited fresh shredded cabbage .

Paul Gabion

Katsu is great, but what's more is the unlimited fruits , miso soup , rice , and cabbage !

Melissa Pabilona

Their Rosu is the best I've tasted compared to other branches. You'll taste the perfect marbling of the fat in the meat.

Katte 

Their set meals include unlimited organic brown rice and organic cabbage ! Perfect healthy choice ????

Sunshine Sangalang

Table for 2s are located by the window overlooking Serendra. Staff are very attentive. The wasabe sauce tastes great with the cabbage .

Robert Locsin

The manager is very accommodating and friendly ! (free ice cream !) +points also because despite being a manager, he waits the tables.

glynn

Great Service! The manager was very accomodating. He even offers to open your soup bowl , lays the table napkin, etc.

Léna Le Rolland

Very good food! Loved it. Staff was nice and attentive

Cat Herrera

If you order the premium katsu set, you can ask for refills of verything in the set escept for the pork ...

Manuel Jr. Tanjoco

Just tried the special katsudon set. Taste is good, but there is nothing special which would warrant going back again and again.

Chesca Ferrer

The staff are very friendly and warm! You will never leave this place hungry! :)

Nazel Naval-Tabili

If you want something different from the usual katsu , try their Miso Rosu and Menchi Curry .

Faye Calangi

Don't forget to do the Yabu ritual everytime you visit! ????

Akeelikili

People here are so accomodating! Superb service! Your 500 bucks is sooo "sulit"! Unli cabbage , unli rice .

Ish A.

The food was great! and I would like to commend the friendly staff ! :)

Jessica Tan-Gan

Seafood set is so good!! For pork , I prefer Maisen though.

Alma H

Great tasting mochi ! Save the pink one for last!

Donksters Sy

Love the food! Lalo na unlimited halos lahat! Except for the katsu :( but still good

Candy Rojas

Alma H

Katsu world! Service is topnotch!

Ado Bernardo

Friendliest staff I've met ever. Say hello to Mark and Ivy - from Ado. :)

Jaik G

Good clean n fresh ingredients , but the deep fried Katsu is not something that agrees with you if you've moved off fried foods.

Yv Br

Get here early, say 1045am for lunch . It gets quickly filled up!

Victor Galzote

Hire is good. Also use sesame dressing for the salad if you prefer the more conservative taste

Miles Ng
