tempura japanese grill


Tempura Japanese Grill is around for quite some time now. Name sounds very generic but it packs some surprises. This is a bit different as the japanese restaurant is purely filipino owned. Some authenticity might be amiss but i see it as japanese food with pinoy ingenuity.

Branches are now all over the metro. we tried the one at makati avenue, bel-air, near my hunny's office.



my hunny likes anything asparagus. we got their tepanyaki. asparagus spears, scallops, shrimps and bell peppers are teppan fried on a soy based sauce.

we also got a sampler dish of different makis. the unique thing here is that the maki is rolled in balls and that there are bits of crispy fried salmon inside.

another maki was given a different appraoch. they quickly deep fried the roll creating a thin crisp crust on the outside. philadelphia cheese inside the maki made it extra rich and creamy.


food is great and price is very reasonable. you might not find real hardcore japanese food in here but their versions appeal to the masses. for a japanese fast food chain, this is rated A1.
