I've long encountered the ripple of buzzes over Genji M's Unlimited Sashimi, Sushi and Rolls Promo.  So one Friday night, my friends and I decided to take on the challenge and see how much we could consume.

It has the typical Japanese restaurant vibe with wooden everything.

I thought the place was small but its actually very spacious with multiple private rooms.


There's are cute fan props which you can take a photo with.

At the sushi bar area, you can see the Sashimi being prepared by the chefs.

Food

UNLIMITED Sashimi (Includes Sushi & Rolls) (699 php)

Yellow Tail, Tuna, Tuna Tataki, Salmon, Octopus and Tuna Belly

At the start, we were given a sampler of these Sashimi (2 piece per person).  You can tell by the looks that they were all very fresh.Then, we were given a checklist so we could select what we want to be refilled (maximum of 10 pieces per item).  There's a button at the table to call out their happy and courteous servers to accommodate your requests. Sashimi selections include: Salmon, Tuna, Tuna Belly, Tuna Tataki, Squid and Octopus.  I enjoyed the Salmon and Octopus the most!

Shrimp, Fatty Salmon,   Crab Stick, Baked Tofu, Tuna and Salmon

For starters, you get 1 piece of the items above per person before you can order from the checklist.  Sushi selections: Tuna, Tuna Tataki, Salmon, Fatty Salmon, Octopus, Squid, Crab Stick, Spam, Samgyupsal, Bulgogi, John Dory, Shrimp, Baked Tofu, Flying Fish Roe, Corn Salad, Hirame, Cream Dory, Silver Fish, Unagi (Premium) , Urchin Egg (Premium) and Tuna Belly (Premium).  I like that their Sushi has just the right amount of rice on it so it's not too heavy to eat. 

California, Crazy California,  Bulgogi, Salmon, Spicy Roll, Cheese and French Fried

Rolls selections Include: Salmon, California, Tuna, Kimchi, Cucumber, Crab Stick, Egg, Spam, Bulgogi, French Fried, Cheese, Spicy Roll and Crazy California.   

My favorites are the French Fried, Cheese and Spicy Rollwhich I re-ordered several times.

Miso Soup

The UNLIMITED Promo also includes a hot bowl of Miso Soup.

Buffet Items (included in the UNLIMITED Promo)
We were surprised that aside from the Sashimi, Sushi & Rolls, there is also a buffet of various delicious dishes.

Japanese Salad

Fried Mandu

This Fried Mandu is a must try!
 

Kimchi Fried Rice

Jap Chae

Bulgogi

Pork and Wakame

Ala Carte

Ban Chan

We also tried some of the Ala Carte dishes.  The Ala Carte dishes comes with a free set of Ban Chan. 

Ebi Tempura (300 php)

The Ebi Tempura was superb!

Chicken Yakitori (120 php/3 pieces)

The Chicken Yakitori had green chili on them so be ready for a spicy kick.  I love the tenderness of the chicken bits and the sweet and salty blend of their yakitori sauce.  However, I expected the chicken to be a bit bigger. 

Update (April 1, 2015): Passed by Genji M this and was surprised that it is now closed.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Genji M not only offers a fun experience with their unlimited sush, sashimi and maki.  They also serve great authentic Japanese dishes.

The Bulgogi Brothers in SM Mall of Asia is fairly new so its not as crowded as their other branches yet.



Food

Complimentary Appetizers, Mixed Salad and Banchan

After they took our orders, we were given our Complimentary Appetizers: Boiled Quail Eggs, Sweet Potatoes and Corn.  We were also given a Mixed Salad which was mildly spicy.  Being a Korean restaurant, I expected that there will be Banchans too.  They served three variants: Kimchi, Pickled Spinach and Spicy Eggplant.

Complimentary Tea of the Day: Bori Cha

They also had a Complimentary Tea of the Day in our case it was the Bori Cha or Barley Tea.  

Ala Carte

Hanbang Suyuk (550 php)

The Hanbang Suyuk is thinly-sliced boiled pork slices with kimchi, roasted garlic and chives.  It is eaten by placing all the elements in a lettuce similar to Samgyupsal.  The highlight of this dish is the tasty and tender pork slices which was further enhanced by the other ingredients.  This is delicious!

♥ Haemul Gungjung Mandu Small 6 pcs. (450 php)

The Haemul Gungjung Mandu is a fried mandu served with seafood and a spicy sauce.  The mandu are perfectly crunchy which made this a delightful option.

♥ Dubu Steak 6 pcs. (245 php)

The Dubu Steak is fried tofu drenched in teriyaki sauce and served with bulgogi and bean sprouts.  We all enjoyed this because it was light and refreshing especially when eaten together with the crunchy beansprouts.  

Bulgogi Burger (295 php)

The Bulgogi Burger with cheese is served with french fries and ketchup.  At first glance, I was surprised with this item.  Not because it rhymes with Bulgogi Brothers but because it looks like the typical western burger order right?  But, its the special Unyang Style patty that makes a significant difference.

Haemul Pajeon (450 php)

The Haemul Pajeon is filled with seafood and leeks.  It is soft and fun to chew which made it pleasurable to eat.  

Barbecue

♥ Bulgogi Brothers Special (1,495 php)

The Bulgogi Brothers Special is a must order when at Bulgogi Brothers because it is their signature dish.  It is composed of the heart-shaped Unyang Style Bulgogi and the Gwangyang Style Bulgogi.  Before this, I had no idea of styles in terms of bulgogi and it made me wonder what style of bulgogi did I consume before.  But, I am certain that I have never encountered the Unyang Style Bulgogi before.  It had a distinct unforgettable crumby texture that makes it feel like it melts in your mouth.  

Gwangyang Style Bulgogi

The Gwangyang Style Bulgogi is the familiar sweet and tasty whole meat type of bulgogi.  It's soft, lean and succulent when cooked.  I enjoyed this especially with rice.

Soups & Stews

Haemul Doenjang-jigae (395 php)

The Haemul Doenjang-jigae is mildy spicy with a sweetness from the vegetables and seafood.  

♥ Kimchi-Jigae (395 php)

The Kimchi-Jigae is spicy red kimchi-based soup.  It also has some pork and tofu.  Although it was thick and red, the spiciness is not too hot so you can drink the soup comfortably.

♥ Galbi Tang (420 php)

The Galbi Tang is my favorite Korean soup.  Their version had generous amount of tender spare ribs, radishes and egg.  It was tasty and soothing to drink.

Drinks

Kiwi Juice (140 php) and Misutgaru (150 php)

For drinks, you could opt for your preferred fresh fruit juices like the Kiwi Juice or try something new like the Misutgaru which is made of brown rice.  The Misutgaru is so thick and powdery that it can be difficult to sip when you're near the bottom. 

♥ Yuja Ade (120 php)

I opted for the Yuja Ade which is a citron-based beverage.  This is a refreshing palate cleanser.  The lemon peel at the bottom is also fun to munch on.

Desserts

Korean Ice Cream

For dessert, they have a selection of Korean Ice Cream.  They have the Melona melon, strawberry and banana and other brands too.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Bulgogi Brothers offers a wide range of Korean dishes that will guarantee you a pleasurable Korean feasting.  Aside from their delicious bulgogi, be sure to check out other menu items.  The price is a bit on the high side but considering this is an international franchise, it is understandable.
