Looks yummy! Though I’m just a little puzzled by the name of the restaurant because serving food a la carte is NOT Omakase. Omakase means you leave it up to the chef to serve you whatever he wants. Usually serving the richest, freshest, and highest quality ingredients available. I’m sure this restaurant is delicious but it could be deceiving for people who really know the true meaning of Omakase. Unless, they do actually serve Omakase style…lets hope so.

Last Friday greeted us with rain that was too strong to allow us to go to our usual spot for lunch. Thank the food gods that Omakase in Libis delivers (maybe it helped that our building was right beside them, but I digress). As I went down to the lobby to get our orders from the drenched waiter who delivered them, envious eyes followed me back to the elevator, coveting the 3 bowls of tonkatsu, tempura w/ Japanese fried rice, spider maki (so-called because of the soft-shelled crab appendeges protruding… is divine with that special dip with a bit of wasabi) and dynamite maki (which is my absolute fave) that I had with me…. >sigh

[...] was unique to the South, but then I discovered (mainly from reading various blogs (Lori’s got a review on Dessert Comes First, and there’s another on Rants and Raves) that there are branches in Libis and Morato as [...]

the spider maki is excellent. soft shelled crab lightly fried and tucked neatly into a maki roll, with the claws and legs extending to look like a spider. delightful!

crazy maki is good. and the omakase roll

oddly though, my favorite at omakase is their salmon sashimi. I have not been to a japanese restaurant in Manila that serves better salmon sashimi. thick cuts, very fresh. very good.

Midge, my dad, boyfriend, and ex-boss adore uni, so you are not alone, don’t worry. What’s more, I seem to be developing a taste for it as well (you have to understand, this is from a girl who never used to touch the stuff!). I think the taste really grows on you…

Gotta try that uni tempura!

I really love your blog! This bit about Omakase was a great review. Seeing how I work so close by the Libis branch and live a short drive away from the Alabang branch, I can always get a major league Japanese cuisine fix.

Plus, it's great to know that there's someone else in the Philippines who likes uni - very few people do, actually. ^_^

I’m an Omakase fan, too! Considering its obscure location in Libis, it’s got a lot of following. The Jurassic Maki is a meal in itself. A friend from the US was surprised to find her favorite Spider Maki there as well. The prices are pretty reasonable too!
