It was Friday night and I was walking with a friend at the busy streets of Bonifacio Global City going to Akira The Art of Sushi and Teppanyaki at Burgos Circle to meet up with an old friend. I am not into Japanese food, but I thought it is not bad to try something new once in a while.
We
were seated at the first floor of the restaurant as there are more customers at
the second floor. The first floor was small but I like the ambiance of the
place quiet even though there is music at the background, it still allows
customers to talk without shouting at one another.
There
are only a few items in their menu, mostly are teppanyakis, unlike the other
branches that has a lot of choices and varieties. Since it was Friday I ordered
for the Ebi Tempura and my friend who has allergy with shrimps ordered for the Chicken
Steak and a bowl of rice. If you will see the menu with the prices, you will
think that it is a bit of expensive but once served you can say that the price
is worth it. The tempura and chicken steak are both good for sharing and the
bowl of rice is very heavy since it is gohan.
You
don’t also have to wait long for the food to be served. The staffs are courteous
and friendly and you can see some of them exchanging conversations with the
regular customers giving it a homey vibe.
The
three pieces of tempura partnered with the chicken steak and bean sprouts with
a glass of lemonade made up for my dinner that night. It is further completed
with the stories and laughter shared with my friends.
