Have you heard of the Tori Chizu? I've been hearing about it quite a lot. My little sister even recommended it to me.
Because of the Japanese sounding name, I just had to check the origin of this concept. Turns out, it is an original concept by the same company that franchised Bonchon here in the Philippines.
It has such a inviting vibe. The menu is with inviting pictures and unbelievably affordable pricing will make it irresistible for you to not try this.

| Potato Takoyaki (50 php) |
It is my first time to try a Potato Takoyaki and I liked it a lot! What made this different from the usual takoyaki is the zesty cheese flavor and smooth mushy texture.
Japanese Style Chicken
 |
| 8 pc Rack (554 php) |
There are three spiciness levels for the Japanese Style Chicken: Regular, Spicy and Extra Spicy. As a spicy food lover, I instantly took on the challenge to try the Extra Spic. As you can see, it was well-dusted with chilli powder. But, it wasn't as spicy as I thought. You can still enjoy the flavors of the friend chicken.

| Chicken Katsu Curry Chizu Bowl (139 php) |
The Chicken Katsu Curry Chizu Bowl is my top pick. I just loved the 3 C's that this dish has to offer: creaminess, crunchiness and cheesiness.
Pasta
 |
| Baked Pasta with Egg (135 php) |
When the Baked Pasta with Egg was served, I couldn't believe how geneorus the serving size is.

| Baked Pasta with Egg (135 php) |
This Baked Pasta with Egg is way better than your usual fast food spaghetti. It even has a unique twist by adding its special seasoning.
 |
| Beef Chizu Bowl (149 php) |
As I am a huge Gyudon fan, I was iniatilly most excited to try the Beef Chizu Bowl. But well, it felt unfamiliarly new to me that I was inkling for the usual Gyudon. I think this need a bit of recurrence to be appreciated.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
I can understand the craze for Tori Chizu. First, the price point is unbelievably affordable. It is within the same price range as most fast-food joints. I've also shared reasoably priced katsu joints before and this is even cheaper. Second, how can you resist its delicious cheesy doria meals?
