There is a Japanese restaurant near my parents' house. We pass by it a lot and notice the cars parked outside. I googled about it and read numerous good reviews. When I saw Anton Diaz blog and read he traveled all the way to Antipolo to try Tamagoya, I know I must try it too. I trust Anton's unbiased food reviews.
We arrived past 7 and as expected, we need to wait for a table. We were parked on the other side of the road. A Tamagoya staff approached us and told us he will call us as soon as there is a table available. We stayed in the car because we were listening to the TalknText and B-meg game 7. After 10 minutes, we were fetched by the staff. I commend them. Very efficient!
The restaurant's ground floor can accommodate around 20 people. I was not able to see the upper floor.
The food is cooked upon order. You have to wait for 15-20 minutes. The prices are very affordable too!
Yaki Gyoza for appetizer. 6 large pieces for only P98. DELICIOUS!!!
Yakiniku Don. Very tasty. The meat is tender and the veggies crunchy.
I like Tamagoya's Yakiniku don. Not nakakasawa. Just the right amount of sweetness.
Gyu-don for my hubby. My camera phone did not give justice to the picture. I tasted this and I loved it more than my Yakiniku.
Next time, we would like to try their ramen.
We left 30 minutes before closing. There are still cars arriving.
If you don't want to wait, it's advisable to call and make reservation. They also accept takeout. And no matter how happy you are with their food and service, they do not accept tips. :D
