Ariake

Our visit here was totally unplanned. It just so happened that we're craving for Japanese food and while in search of a good Japanese restaurant in the vicinity of Tomas Morato, he spotted Ariake. At first, we're both skeptical because we're not familiar with the place, but we took the risk.

Upon entering the door at the first floor (main restaurant is located at the 2nd flr), you'll spot a running water on the wall and it's sound  was accompanied by a very soothing music, giving you a relaxing spa-like feel. 

So, here's our experience and what we had:

Kani Salad
( Php 140)

Salmon Sashimi

Yakimono (Asupara Bacon Maki)
( Php 175)

Baked Oysters
(Php 265)

Awesome technology here.
They even have this on every tables which is connected to 
watch-like gadgets of their waiters. Different buttons according to your needs.
Even fooled around to check if it's really working. HAHAHA!   

PROS:

• They have an attentive staff and even love that techy thingy.
• The food is of good quality but not pricey. 
• The restaurant is very private, clean and spacious.

CONS:

• None that I've observed..

THE VERDICT: ★ ★ ★ ★

We've been here twice. I think this has become our go-to place whenever we're in the mood for a good Japanese food around Tomas Morato. I say, it's probably one of those underrated restaurants out there. There's nothing I love more than private restaurants with good quality of food.

P.S. Already tried this restaurant? Feel free to share your experience and recommend a dish on the comment section! Thank you! xoxo
