After Tokyo Tokyo introduces bento meals and Sumo meals now come the newest fast-casual Japanese dining place in town. Located at the Ground Floor of Glorietta 5 is Tokyo Tokyo Metro.
Tokyo Tokyo Metro's dintict difference from the old Tokyo Tokyo is the izakaya culture.
An izakaya (居酒屋?) is a type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks. The food is usually more substantial than that offered in other types of drinking establishments in Japan such as bars or snack bars.
They are popular, casual and relatively cheap places for after-work drinking.
TTM’s best offering are the yakitori, ramen, donburi, seafood bento and japanese rice wine.
Our set during that casual dinner with ex-Piltel friends,
California Maki is a must order for me and serves as always my appetizer when dining Japanese.
Donburi (tonkatsu), this savory pork stew on rice was tummy filling and tender. The meal can be shared.
The meal was served with this veggie with a mild dressing.
Surf n Turf is a bento box with prawns, beef, california maki, veggies and a jelly dessert, which was also served with miso soup and rice. I find this one a bit expensive.
We ordered two Surf n Turf bento so we would not fight over this shrimp serving, yum!
My old time favorite red iced tea was bottomless this time, which kept me lively while the boys enjoyed beer at a very affordable price.
Overall the dining experience is okay. Good food combined with good friends is something I always look forward.
Big thanks to MJP for the wonderful dinner!
