Yabu: House Of Katsu - Washington

Excellent service and great food. This is our favorite Katsu house and our favorite Yabu branch. Keep it up!

Best mid range Japanese restaurant in the Philippines in my opinion.

To eat in Yabu for lunch is my son's request after our long vacation from province. We just waited for 10mins for our seat but we waited for almost 30min before our orders were served. But they tried to make up for making us so hungry by being attentive to our needs. My son requested for 1 rice refill while I asked for 2 fruit refill and we had it so quick. Good food and good service still.

My son who is 2.5 yrs old only eats spaghetti or rice with miso soup, so last week, when we were in Robinson's Magnolia, after having Conti's spaghetti bolognese for brunch, I decided to give him his rice and miso soup. Yabu was the 1st japanese resto I saw when we went down to the food court. I asked the receptionist if they have miso soup and she said that rice and miso soup are unlimited. So she gave us a seat and menu and I ordered the deluxe seafood with the white fish, not the pork. Then some manager came and explained how the sauces work because I told them it was my 1st time in Yabu. Then the waiter gave us rice and miso soup first (upon my request) while waiting for my order so my son can start eating. When my food came, they still gave me my own rice and soup. The fish (Salmon and white fish) were cooked to perfection. And the cabbage dressing was to die for. Then my son ate up my fruit but they gave us more than enough for refill. Overall, I was so happy with the service and the attentiveness of the staff. I didn't even have to call out, i just lifted my head and somebody came to ask if I needed anything. I left a 200peso tip which felt so bad because I wanted to leave a 500peso tip but I was running out of cash. That's how happy they made me and my son. I am in Kota Kinabalu now (Shangri-La Rasa Ria) with my husband before going back home to Stockholm, and I still can't stop telling him how excellent the food and service were in Yabu Robinson's Magnolia. I can't wait to go home again and dine at your resto. Kudos to you all!!!
