TETSUO — Restaurant in Quezon City

still one of the bests around the area. well, definitely the best karaage in these parts with different spice levels. food is tasty as usual.

•kani fries •karaage + birthday noodles — with a spicy noodle kick. got the sansho spice level for the chicken for a citrusy and juicy bite. •ginger scallion chicken noodles — YUM! •torched salmon bowl — sister always loves to get this •horchata, mocha, dirty horchata

so glad they’re re-opening brought the ginger scallion chicken noodles in katipunan for good!! their fried chicken is still perfectly cooked and spiced. they also now serve el union’s horchata, and can still order my favorite dirty horchata!!!

an upgrade in terms of size versus their past location behind regis. this is a much bigger space that could sit multiple group sizes. they also have a dedicated dj booth for the vibes. kinda miss the skateboards and the darker vibe, but the brighter change up...

Dropped by for early dinner on a Friday night. The place is small. Majority of the dining space is taken up by a kitchen bar, where you can sit & watch the staff cook. It was empty when I dined there at 5 pm. As someone who usually dines alone, the setup felt perfect for me. Watching them cook + the OPM playing the background + no people around added to my dining experience :) There are about 2-3 tables at the back that can accommodate a small group. Would not recommend this for large groups though.

Their menu is quite limited; prices ranging around PHP 200+ per meal but not past PHP 300 iirc. Water is self service. I ordered the karaage + soba noodles. The portions were just right. The chicken was juicy and I liked how it had a bit of zest to it. It provided a unique flavor to it. Honestly, if they served beer then it would've been perfect (but thats...

I will start with the food. It's great. I got pork bun, meat is tender, I just wish they could’ve put more amount of sauce in it, the bun is watery (still tolerable). This one I can recommend, though. The karaage rice is just fine.

The layout of the restaurant is an open kitchen bar along with some tables. You get to see how they prepare the food, and you also get to feel the stress happening in the kitchen.

I'm not sure about their customer service. It seems they don't have it at all, but that's fine with me.

Your order will take a very, very long time. They even got my order wrong, but I took it anyway because I can't afford to wait that long again.

I might come back again, but maybe to the Makati branch instead, to try other dishes, but not here. I was so relieved as I finished and went out. It's not a feel-good...
