"It doesn’t try to imitate something you’ve tasted in Japan before, since IT IS that dish you tasted in Japan."
"This is definitely the Rolls Royce of Tonkatsu’s!"
"Filipinos just love katsudon and this is the best I’ve tasted so far."
- ANTON DIAZ, OUR AWESOME PLANET -"I’ve had tonkatsu but never quite like this. Yabu is the first restaurant to take it seriously. Even making the sauce is a ceremony."
- RICHARD CO, TALES FROM THE TUMMY -"Yabu is the ultimate hangout place for every Katsu lover out there."
"It was a perfect marriage of crunch from the breading and the silky softness from the fish itself."
- GIO MANGAYA-AY, THE HUNGRY GIANT -"For a restaurant built on a single dish, Yabu excels, delivering quality, delicious food and good service."
- CHRISSIE MATA, THE KITCHEN COW -"It was truly clear that everyone was satisfied seeing big bellies bulging out as a means of a two-thumbs up."
- ROBBIE BECROFT -"I could order a mountain of cabbage slices and slather them alternatively with the goma dressing or the vinaigrette! It’s soooooo good!"
- AGENT P’S HEADQUARTERS -"I can’t wait to go back to Yabu again. I think you can call this an addiction."
- AVE TE, ARSTYFARTSY AVA -"Yabu is one of our go-to places for comfort food. Never mind if it’s an hour’s drive away."
- SEPH CHAM AND SHAIL LAGARDE, LOVE CHIC -"Food here is amazing!"
"I’m having tonkatsu from Yabu – so good. 1st time to try!"
"Yabu really hits the spot! Best Katsu in Town. Promise!"
"I’m just happy we have something like this in Manila, and very close to home."
- CECILE VAN STRATEN, CHUVANESS -"Was never really a katsu fan, but now I’m a convert!"
"After my Yabu visit, my impression of katsu has changed forever. I now have more respect for the humble Japanese breaded meat."
- SARAH TIRONA, MS. EGGPLANT’S CHRONICLES -"New Yabu fan right here!"
"A taste of heaven in every bite."
"The serving was pretty generous and I love how they kept all the sauces within reach."
- FRAN ANG, FRANNY WANNY -"It tasted like the tonkatsu I had in Tokyo almost 3 years ago, minus the hefty price tag."
- JP ON FASHION SPEED -"At Yabu, every meal is punctuated by participation and pleasure."
