Jipan — Restaurant in Makati

This branch has many good dishes, appetizers, breads, and pastries. Actually, there are too many to mention but here are some to help you get started.

Chocola Chocola is a chocolate pastry that is mildly sweet. Sometimes I think about eating this at the mall cinemas instead of popcorn. Think of this as a bigger, more compact version of their Mini Cacao Croissants.

Katsu Curry Rice is always tempting to order again and again, even though the level of spiciness isn't always consistent. The flavor of the curry plus all the carrot and potato chunks make it worth it! And, of course, the pork tonkatsu has good breading and tender meat.

Kouign Amann is a very sweet pastry coated with delicious caramel goodness, and it's really fun to bite into. It can be a bit heavy so I suggest sharing or consuming later.

Mango Cake is something I won't recommend though some might still like it. Yes, the toppings are photo-friendly and even deliciously sweet, but I won't get a cake if the "chiffon" portion isn't that great.

Salmon Cream Cheese Roll is deliciously just right. The skin on top is crunchy and the filling is cold and creamy!

Salmon Head in Miso Soup has a lot of delicious fish meat. The serving is very heavy and worth it. Sharing is optional.

Seafood Okonomiyaki is meant for sharing. I enjoy this because it tastes like takoyaki. It's like a pancake or pizza eaten with chopsticks and enduring fingers. I say enduring because the challenge is keeping its form whole after slicing...also with chopsticks.

Spicy Tuna Roll, also interchangeable with salmon at the same price, is very delicious, filling, and good for 2-4 people. 1 starving person can finish it as well. That'd be me!

Sukiyaki is sweet, literally and figuratively! It's good for 1-2 tummies and you can request it to be split into 2 bowls. The beef is slightly tough but no problem with the noodles. Egg is love!

Unagi Don (River Eel) would be my default dish if it wasn't so expensive. This shouldn't be too alarming though because unagi is usually priced that way elsewhere.

My neck is, once again, killing me so I'll throw in a quick list of some of the other good stuff: Chicken/Pork Katsudon Ebi Tempura Udon Mini Cacao/Matcha/Maple Croissants

Reminders: Keep an eye out for Cash Only signs. JiPan cards and Booky Buy-1-Get-1s don't mix; choose only one. Fill your stomach before eating raw food. Ramen options are shareable. Their 50%-off reservations are...

We usually go here on a weekend, 10 years ago my son's favorite food to order was their spaghetti, there was a Japanese woman who cooks in their kitchen, before their kitchen was more visible and I enjoy watching how the Japanese woman works in the kitchen. Now my son is a teen, he prefers to order Ramen and Shrimp Tempura. I don't get to see the Japanese woman nowadays, their food is still good but for me it was way better before. They have a complimentary tea which we always enjoy and most of the time we finish off 2 tea pots😊 their vegetable gyoza is really good for me. Their Salmon is good. My choice of Ramen is the seafood. Dinning area is in the middle of mall hallway, for those who doesn't bother people passing by like us, while eating, it will not be a problem. They also have pastries. Price is...

This used to be a quaint place. Food was tasty and balanced, but today after years of not being in Glorietta, I was disappointed of how it changed! iced tea was too sweet that you could see The sugar crystals not diluted on the bottom of the pitcher. gyoza was too salty, Even if you don’t put its sauce. Not appetizing at all. Could use rice but I didn’t order any. California maki was ok as its Rice was soft and ingredients were fresh. Chuukara ramen was good too. Waiters aren’t as attending as they were a few years ago. And their bread rack equipment needs a major upgrade. But Ive always liked their dynamite...
