Botejyu SM North Towers — Restaurant in Quezon City

UPDATE:

Most of their menu is on the pricey/above average price but the quality is dissatisfying. There's no wow factor on the taste, even on the presentation. While eating, I kept asking ""bakit ang mahal nito?""

Tonkotsu Ramen P425 has downgraded since my last visit. It dind't taste equally good.

The so called 'All Star' Takoyaki P265 looks so sad. Not even appetizing. Far from picture and poorly made. Parang same same lang ng laman.

Again, the 'All Star' Karaage P485, look at the state of those chicken. They we're kinda hard. I've had better Kaarage from Karayama/Torisho which is a lot cheaper.

P600 peso worth of Udon and they're not even generous with the beef. Or they could've served it in a extra big bowl. For its price, I could already buy a bucket meal for the whole fam

Rice bowls were decent.

Funny how very very well thought their menu is, magazine like. Yet food preparation is very sloppy.

Or ganito lang talaga magserve pag nakadiscount?

—————————————— Their Pork Tonkotsu Ramen P545 is just so so good. Pwedeng balik-balikan. I tried it in their Bulacan branch and taste is consistent. Pricey but good serving, could be for sharing.

Classic Takoyaki P130 3pcs - it was ok, size is like 3pcs combined of street takoyaki

Fuji Fries P150 - it looks ordinary but it was good. Not oily, probably baked.

Staff were nice too. They...

Their menu is pretty diverse, ranging from sushi and sashimi to rice bowls, ramen etc, even if they are an Okonomiyaki and Okosoba specialty chain (based off their website). Compared to other Japanese restos which narrows their range to their specialties, this was a lot and it was kinda overwhelming, which is why I may have also overlooked that okonomiyaki was their specialty. Tried their Prawn Tempura Rice Bowl, Tender Pork Tonkatsu Special Curry Rice, and Pork Tonkatsu Cutlet Sushi Roll. All of them were meh, and nothing was really special especially since the price points were similar (or even higher) to other restos which create a much better version of these meals. However, since I did not get to taste their specialties, take this with a grain of salt. Went during their peak hours and the staff was quite in chaos. People in our neighboring tables are also getting their orders switched which was probably not a good thing. Overall, it was just an...

The food is meh and my wife and I got fooled into joining a "raffle" that turned out to be a pretext for a time share sales pitch at their SM North Edsa branch. A day after eating there, we got a call to verify our raffle entry and was told that we were going to be given a complimentary buffet and stay at some hotel. I instantly knew this would be a time share sales pitch from past experience. Same scheme, entice you with a free meal and hotel stay which would compel you to go and when you get there they'll only give the benefits promised if you purchase a time share. Due to this bad experience, my family and I won't be going back. Posting this review just in case you get scammed into giving your personal data for a...
