Bananas Philippine Restaurant — Restaurant in Tokyo

Stumbled so luckily in this newly opened Filipino restaurant in Shinjuku while we were strolling.

The name of the place caught our attention and immediately got curious.

Since ate before coming here, we ordered drinks and dessert. The cocktail we had was very tropical and Filipino tasting just like what youll get in Annex house.

Food menu is classic and definitely looks scrumptious. Their menu is styled like a combination of Manam and Banana leaf. Definitely will recommend to friends both Filipino and other nationalities who are curious about Filipino Food

Had a chat with owner and he is the most pleasant, friendly, and charming.

The place and location as well is inviting and well suited. Will come back here most definitely when in...

I really enjoyed the vibe of this place. It’s like entering a Filipino party where everyone is warmly welcomed. I had sinigang, where the meat is cooked tender and the soup with the right amount of sourness. I also had bagoong fried rice, I like the toppings but I wish the fried rice as advertised was actually fried. I miss the dried and slightly chewy texture of the Filipino fried rice. I would surely be back for more since I want to try everything in the menu. I can see the place getting fully packed soon. Much love for the owner...

Ambiance: cozy it is!! Food quantity and quality: just the right amount for sharing among 2-3 people per dish. It does bring out the authentic and level up Filipino cuisine taste, texture and aroma; way less greasy. Customer service: fast and friendly - feels like you're home with family and friends. Location: easy to find, close to two stations (sanchoume and gyoenmae); foreigner-friendly, gets crowded on weekends, so make sure to book a table.
