A few months ago, we were shopping in
Robinson's Place Manila which is our neighborhood mall when we spotted a new quaint Japanese
fast food restaurant filled with diners called
Yasu Katsu Tempura Ramen. According to the Japanese owner, who barely speaks English,
Yasu means affordable and fresh.
The area size could only house a few tables but you could see the reserves rushing to and fro to serve as much as they could so turn over would be quick. Though the space is limited, it is well utilized and well-decorated with traditional Japanese influence.
Food
 |
| Tonkatsu Set (139 php) |
The
Tonkatsu Set is a complete meal with a generous portion of golden brown crunchy tonkatsu. It is served with coleslaw, quality Japanese rice and Miso Soup. The Tonkatsu is only at par with the price.
 |
| ♥ Gyudon (119 php) |
As always, my typical must order is the
Gyudon. The
Gyudon's sweetness is just right and the meat was tender. The quality of their rice is not bad either. Within the same price range, I'd say this comes second to
Yoshinoya's Beef Bowl. Since there's
Yoshinoya is not accessible from our place, I'm definitely heading over here when craving for
Gyudon.
 |
| Chicken Teriyasudon (129 php) |
It was our first time to encounter a
Chicken Teriyasudon so we decided to try it. It's a sweet version of the chicken terriyaki with Japanese mayonnaise. Since we have a low sweetness tolerance, we failed to appreciate this dish.
 |
| ♥ Buta Kimuchidon (159 php) |
My mom's favorite Japanese dish has always been the
kimuchi rice so she ordered the
Buta Kimuchidon which was close to that. She loved it! The pork strips were tender and the kimuchi had the right amount of spice to tickle and whet your appetite.
 |
| Callifornia Roll (109 php) |
The
California Roll is nothing special but for the price, I couldn't complain.
The best bang for the buck to order at
Yasu is their
♥ Ebi Tempura (159 php/ 5 pcs.) My apologies for failing to a photo though. My little sister who loves
Ebi Tempura is quite satisfied with their price and quality! She's quite pleased that she doesn't need to go to
Little Tokyo to satisfy her
Ebi Tempura cravings.
