Great food overall. Ordered the Beef Chahan, Ebi Tempura, Dragon Roll, and Chicken Teriyaki! No complaints for any of them! Tempura was crispy and warm on first bite. Chicken teriyaki was tender, had the right amount of sauce, and was crisp on the outside. Dragon Roll is good as is, but could do without the cheese. The restaurant's in Balete Drive, right next to the Balete Star Toll Exit. It also had a lot of parking. The space is just a bit tight, probably had 7-8 tables inside at most.

Food and Service are amazing. Except for one thing, the old lady is strict and grumpy in the parking area. We just parked at the place and we were just chatting and then this old lady yapping what's our purpose there if were are going to eat or what. If you are reading this. First impression last.. be nice to other people then you will bring more people closer to you.

Family really enjoyed our servings. Quite a lot of them to choose from, and most of them were really great in flavor and texture. Aesthetic fits the small location. The food speaks for itself. Quality and something worth to try again. Minor complaints only being CR being outside the establishment and lack of WiFi, but nothing bad. It's great to focus on the good food. Definitely recommended for a more satisfying Japanese food style experience, compared to contemporaries.

Great service! Very Japanese. The service crew were all friendly and quick to respond to customer’s request. When my 2yr old niece spilled her drinks, they guy immediately cleaned our dining area! Food was also great. I loved my prok teriyaki. The meat was very tender. The ramen we had was also very tasty. My mom loved it. The ripe mango shake was perfect! The place is clean and well maintained. There are lots of parking slots so you won’t have to worry about it.

Good food and ambiance with spacious parking areas. Our go-to Japanese restaurant here in Lipa. Ramen is good at a price range of 300-400. Ideal for in-between food break if you're driving from Manila to Batangas City. Just a few meters from Lipa-Balete exit southbound and turn right from the toll gate.

Fam enjoyed dining here. Place was quiet and had a nice Japanese home aesthetic. Food was also great too. Their bento meal with the complementary miso soup was already filling as is but we were especially hungry that day so we also tried their takoyaki, and the Dragon maki which tastes as good as it looks. Overall, good experience here. Will come back and try their ramen next time.
