A few days ago, I and some of my college barkada
(Kiseeeg) met up at Marikina for a food trip in Lilac Street. I
suggested to try the newly opened Tokyo
Tempura in
Rainbow St to try their UNLIMITED
TEMPURA for Php199 only!
Going to the place isn’t that hard. Just ride a jeep/fx
with a signage of SSS and asked to be dropped off at Lilac St. Walk
straight until you find China Bank beside the public school. The street
right there is Rainbow St and you have to walk to be able to see Tokyo
Tempura (if you’re familiar with Some Kind of Wonderful, they’re on the
same street).
We went around 7pm but the place was full. We were asked
if we’re willing to wait since they can’t put more seats outside due to
the bad weather. The guy who was in charge of the place (I think) said
that place is always full especially around that time. Good thing after
around 10-15 minutes, we were able to seat inside.
This small place has a lot of vintage designs that
maybe contrast to Japanese foods they serve. They can also
accommodate maybe 20-25 people with electric fans
inside.
You need to order here first before they serve you the foods. :
Here’s the menu:
Seeing the menu made us think to try their Unlimited Tempura.
Unlimited tempura is so tempting pricing for Php199 only. But they have Biggu
Tempura Meal (9pcs) for Php 105. I don’t think I’ll be able to finish 9
pcs of tempura, what more if we ordered the unlimited ones.
So here’s what most of us ordered:
Biggu Tempura (9pcs) Php105 + rice Php20
Kani Tempura Php45
Chili cheese Tempura (Php49)
(No individual photos since I was so focused on eating and being with my friends that time. Haha)
The shrimp tempura was delish but since we’re eating 9pcs
of tempura, somewhere in between, there is an “umay” factor afterwards.
Good thing we also ordered Kani and Chili Cheese Tempura for a different
taste. There is also wide variety of drinks offered, but I
ordered Coke Vanilla.
Overall, I think this is good place to dine if you
are willing to try an unlimited tempura for more than 9pcs (Good luck to
your <3 haha). Place isn’t that conducive for those long talks as place
can get too crowded especially if you go there at peak hours. So mind you,
better go there at non – peak hours. But this is something I highly recommend especially for those who has big
appetite for tempuras :)
