We've been here twice. Quite funny though because Boyps was sick on our 1st visit, and it was me on the 2nd. All we wanted was to eat soup and the only restaurant that we can think of that is located in Buendia is Nemoto - a Japanese restaurant.
Every time we pass through this restaurant, we both sneak to look what’s inside. Boyps find it like a mafia place. He said “the one you would see in Chinese movies wherein the fight scenes are done in a wooden restaurant”. Most of their customers are foreigners. I just find everything so old but cute. They have lanterns inside, wooden chairs and tables and comic books that are for sale / rent (assuming :p).
California Maki - Php 184.80 - It's typical. Nothing so special but I still liked it. Hehe
Miso Ramen – Php 212.80 – This is flavorful. “Lasang – lasang Miso” :p It has egg, bean sprouts, vegetables and ground meat. Good for Boyps as he really needs soup that day.
Gyoza – Php 114.24 – Just like Maki, nothing special but still delicious.
2nd visit:
Tempura Udon – Php 218.40 – Another must try soup. Boyps said “this tastes like tempura sauce”. It has shrimps, mushrooms and vegetables. Serving is smaller as compared to Ramen.
Gyudon (Beef toppings) – Php 192.64. Their version is quite sweet. Boyps said “hirap i-cut nung beef pero di naman sumasabit sa teeth :p”
We also got free pineapple for dessert on our 1st visit. Nice! J Overall, we like our experience at Nemoto. Service is good, waitresses are attentive; pricing is quite unusual because of the cents. I’m glad that we finally risked and tried it. We'll surely be back J

I'm confused. It's a Japanese restaurant that looks like a setting for a Chinese movie?! :p
