Rai Rai Ken Izakaya Bistro — Restaurant in San Pedro

We have visited other Rai Rai Ken stores in the past, particularly the SLEX Shell outlet, and generally our dining experience has been satisfactory. It's our first time to try this particular branch, we were originally supposed to dine at the usual Shell outlet but because of the weekend crowd we opted to avoid the traffic and come over here. Sadly though, our meal was not as good as we'd hope it would be. We ordered tempura, gyudon, 2 different ramen (I forgot exactly which one), salmon sashimi and miso soup.

It was also nice that miso or small ramen soup was served together so that you wouldn't feel greasy, so you could enjoy a hearty meal. There are also seats by the window where light seeps in, seats with soft indoor lighting, or separate spaces where families can dine, so you can choose where to eat according to the meaning of...

What a great way to celebrate Valentines Day with your loved ones! When we arrived, Kuya Guard immediately assisted us while parking. I was skeptical since the place was gorgeous, I thought it was too expensive there. But no, the price was reasonable and the food+service were superb! We ordered rice, chicken teriyaki, seafood, fried chicken, dimsum (for sharing). Our bill was not more than 1.5k. The food was warm and you can really tell from the smell that they are sumptuous. Staff were accommodating and courteous. The lady volunteered to take our picture before leaving. Kuya Guard assisted us also...
