Since my little sister completed all her fellowship trainings as a endocrinologist and I has to carry the duties of a legal division chief, we could hardly find the time to chill and eat out like we used to.
Perhaps, it was destiny or a happy coincidence that we were both craving Japanese food and Ebi10 at One Ayala Mall turned out to be the perfect choice.
Although it had an unpretentious storefront adorned with softly glowing Japanese lanterns, inside lies a cozy and vibrant dining atmosphere. The sushi bar doubles as a cocktail bar and with DJ-station at the center, we can see how this relaxed dining space can transform into an elevated social lounge as the night unfolds.
Food
Sashimi
We are so glad we had the Salmon Aburi Nigiri for our starter. It is handsdown one of the best rendition of the Salmon Aburi Nigiri we've ever had!
I swear I almost cried in happy tears as the buttery norweigan salmon melted into my mouth and a burst of umami flavors from the salmon, while the uni delivered a pristine burst of sweet umami uni and finished with a harmonious blend of fragrant truffle, creamy Kewpie mayo, and savory teriyaki. Just from our teaser with the Salmon Aburi Nigiri, we knew we chose Ebi10 as the right choice.
Rolls
| Crazy Maki (420 php) |
We had such an elevated satisfaction from the Salmon Aburi Nigiri, it was simply impossible for the humble and classic Crazy Maki surpass. To be fair, it had everything you can expect from a Crazy Maki — kani, cucumber, mango kwepie, agedama, and ebiko.
Salads
| ♥ Spicy Tuna Salad (585 php) |
The Spicy Tuna Salad is another dish that brought delight our tongues. The soft tuna cubes was complemented by the explosive kick of the dinamite mayo and the pleasurable crisp of agedama (crunchy tempura batter) and fresh romaine lettuce.
Mains
| ♥ Truffle Ponzu Steak (825 php) |
If you're looking for a steak dish that won't make you break your diet and your budget, then go for the Truffle Ponzu Steak.
| ♥ Truffle Ponzu Steak (825 php) |
Despite its modestly thin slice, the Truffle Ponzu Steak delivers an intense fragrant flavor from the premium quality Australian tenderloin, crispy onion, kamote chips and truffle mushroom ponzu sauce.
Tempura
The fresh, sweet and jumbo-size shrimp perfectly coated in golden batter is worth every peso.
Chahan
The Vegetable Chahan is a surprise hit for us. We could never have imagined that a healthy bowl of rice, egg and mixed vegetables could be so good!
Sweets
| Banana Nutella (250 php/3 pcs) |
The Banana Nutella is another validation of the chef's precise frying skills. Just look at how the golden-coated banana slices could be beautifully laid atop a smear of nutella and accented by dulce de leche and sesame seeds.
Fruity & Fizzy
| ♥ Yuzu Fizz (220 php) and♥ Blueberry Fizz (220 php) |
Ebi10 is not just for good food, they serve amazing drinks too. We loved the refreshing palate-cleansing Yuzu Fizz and the cool and minty Blueberry Fizz we had.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Ebi10's creatively-crafted Japanese dishes and drinks combined with its cozy atmosphere is sure to make any newcomer come back for more. We can't wait to try more from their extensive menu!
