Manila’s cheapest Japanese buffet at Takaaki’s
Since I think it’s really criminal to spend P500 per person on a mundane lunch meal in Manila, I was so glad to stumble upon the doorsteps of Takaaki’s Restaurant at HK Sun Plaza in the reclaimed area’s Diosdado Macapagal Avenue.
At only P199, they have the cheapest Japanese lunch buffet I can find now in Manila.
Eat all you can is the key phrase here, and it depends on where you want to start. Advice number one is to skip breakfast and go to the place hungry.
You can begin by laying out your meat and seafood on the built-in hibachi grill, while your stuff for the shabu-shabu cooks in the background…. Takaaki’s display counter has a wide selection of greens, noodles, seafood and meat.
Or have a taste of their fish and shrimp tempura. For the bargain price, they’re certainly plump 
Or order the assorted sushi. The cup of fried rice is delicious with the grilled barbecue.
A cup of iced tea and a trio of desserts to cap the meal.
It is always fun to cook the meal in your own table. And I like shabu-shabu because I get to eat some greens and it looks healthy.
Eat all you can tempura, sushi, yakiniku and barbecue?? It’s the real deal! The place just opened last May 1 so this must be some kind of promotion. I thought Takaaki’s owner ran some kind of charity soup kitchen with all that food. 
But it’s all good!
Blogging since 2004 and recently married to Mr Z. I can't live without coffee....and brown sugar.
Wow.. a scrumptious and sumptuous buffet for only $199? Super affordable. Matry nga. Are they open 24/7?
OMG. Cathy and I are SO going there!
Sweet! I hope they put up branches close to me.
Ajay!! Glad you’re back! I miss you!
Wow! I love ebi tempura!!
cool tip!
I love the design of watermelon hahaha
Hmm, wonder if they have Chinese Medicine broth for their Shabu ^2? Yum.
I warned you about all these food posts before – it’s not fair! All I’ve got is Pizza Hut and Subway.
The things they do to Steak should be against the law..sniff.
Bakit masyadong mura? Baka teaser rate lang parang dito sa amin. Once you get to know the place, they increase the price ever so gently you never notice it until your wallet starts to hurt.
Maybe that’s the norm for new places. Papa Jay and i just got back trying out a new bbq place and I was pleasantly surprised that the bill didn’t run up to where I expected it. Sana nga hindi lang promo yan. Dami na naming susubukang kakainan paguwi namin dyan! Woohoo!
yun bang hipon ay hilaw?
wow o: definitely have to drag my friends to dine there one day LOL. (so much for diets
)
oh wow! i would really love to try it out! thanks for the info!
YIPEE!
Hi Ajay! I passed by Macapagal Ave last Sunday, and their banner outside says that their buffet is P398. Maybe their P199 buffet price was an opening promotion. Too bad I wasn’t able to go.
wow! buffet style.. eat all you can at 199 teaser price cguro? but mukhang masarap, a new place to go…. sana makapunta ako jan.
hi! may telephone number kayo ng restaurant? would want to reserve sana for a group of people. thanks
