Kenshin Japanese Izakaya Restaurant Beacon branch — Restaurant in Makati

Ambience: Just like their Makati Linear branch, the interior was decorated with some eye-catching bamboo and cherry blossoms. Everything was also brightly lit. I enjoyed watching AKB48's Fortune Cookie music video on HD TV. Please, keep playing stuff like that! Good vibes!

Seats: They have several of them plus more private ones towards the back left. Two highchairs for kids are placed readily near the entrance and Japanese reading materials, and four bar seats can be found towards the back, closer to the staff.

Food: Aburi Chashu Roll was so good I highly recommend it! Kewpie mayo and cream cheese easily made this good plus the flavorful chashu!

Beef Curry and Katsu Curry had delicious curry flavor, having only one available level of spiciness yet the mildness was perfect! The sauce had some nice onions and carrots, making the sauce "busier" than boring.

Chashu Don was worth it for the generous slices of meat plus flavor. I'm used to having chashu with ramen but this did very well with my taste buds!

Niku Yasai Itame was very delicious and healthy-looking.

Takoyaki was very fun to cook! Our friendly server checked on us every now and then to guide us. They might not be able to give as much assistance when they're full. We cooked the food until they were golden brown and the filling was extremely hot! The filling was sticky like Monjayaki!

Service: I like that they serve free cold tea and offer discounts to LINE users, though I'm not a user of this app. Instructions to claim are found on the table topper, if that's what it's called. Staffers looked like they wanted to dance along with Momoland's Boom Boom music video. (Yes, HD TV again!) Happy vibes!

Expect service charge. I find it...

This is a cool japanese resto. They have a traditional area with divider for those who wanted a more private surrounding. Music BG is traditional too which you can feel the japanese tradition a little bit. Staffs were dressed with a kimono.

They are open until midnight. Not too crowded. Their menu has a lot of choices. We had karaage set and katsu curry rice. All the meats are tender. Although, I didn’t like to fruit side dish as it was from a canned fruit.

We also ordered the Beer All You Can for PHP 699. You can have this for a maximum of 4 hours only, with a free appetizer. Our free appetizer was salmon skin which the staff recommended to us. It was good although it wasn’t crispy.

We also had cold sake. It was so easy to drink and had a very delicate taste. You have to also try it.

The toilet is clean and has bidet and has many tissues too. 👌🏼

We’ll try to come back here to try some other food as...

This restaurant has one of the widest menus I have come across in any Japanese restaurant to date. I am a regular customer here as I live in the Beacon building where the restaurant is located. I have yet to find a menu item I don't like and I suspect I never will. Every taste or preference is represented on their offering, sashimi, sushi, hot pots, stir fry, sliced or breaded meats, salads, soups just to begin with. A full and interesting selection of drinks is available, both alcohol and non alcoholic beverages can be had. Simple but good desserts round off a good meal. Service is friendly and personal and the staff go out of their way to accommodate any special requests or extras. One thing that I find very convenient is that they are open almost every day, including holidays, and remain open until 3am. I recommend this restaurant without reservation...
