Kushiyaki Chikuzenya Japanese - Cosenza

Add me in IG:raymondguagua Review Deck The Ramen Series Place: Kushiyaki Chickuzen So how would you feel when a ramen house is walking distance from your place?Approximately 150 steps. To my delight while checking my ZOMATO app, I came across Kushiyaki Chikuzenya. An established Japanese restaurant located in Mandaue AS Fortuna that offers delightful options of japanese food staple like sushi, teppanyaki, bento, sashimi, ramen among many others. “Kushiyaki” is the japanese name for barbeque and “Chikuzen” is an old name of Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan. The restaurant provides an immediate japanese ambience. The moment you open the door, the crew in unison chants a japanese phrase (I missed it everytime) to welcome you. A polite woman dressed more formal than others (I think they are the managers) ushers you to the table of your choice. As soon as you settle, an attendant in slippers while dressed in traditional kimonos serves you a wrapped plastic towel for sanitation. The place is pretty spacious and well organized. It has a live kitchen setup that can add comfortability to customers by seeing how orders are prepared. For my most recent trip, I ordered my dose of tonkotsu ramen before heading to an errand. The tonkotsu tasted delicious as usual. The combination of hot pork broth, scallions, chashu (pork), nori (dried seaweed), pink ginger and fresh noodles were perfect. Normally, I would add chili pepper and chili oil to give the ramen an extra kick. The chashu was a killer. The grilled pork complemented the simplicity of the ramen and took it a notch higher. Chickuzen Kushiyaki’s serving is by far the biggest I’ve had. It can serve two for only P300. If I am to base it from Facebook, TripAdvisor and Zomato assessments, it looks like this house is in the top quartile of ramen houses in Cebu. The reviews from these sources also lean towards more positives overall. The commendations range from good food choices, delicious offerings and staff behaviors. There is a funny quote online about ramen. Ramen (noun) “ A gourmet meal for college students and others oppressed by debt.” It may be true given that ramen is highly associated with cup noodles. But Chickuzenya’s version is not second rate. And it can only be enjoyed, appreciated and savored by a true ramen lover. Count me in. Pay them a visit and relish the magic of authentic ramen. See you there! Here's my verdict out of 5. Food Instagrammability .5 Customer Service Price Overall #labanmgayadz #BolderBetterProject2018

Although I always come here I only eat two things and haven't really tried any other dishes. The best ramen in cebu is served here. The broth is rich and authentic and the men is firm and just the right thickness. The other dish I eat is gyoza which is cooked a bit different to typical gyoza but its ok together with the ramen. I hope they stay open my top 2 ramen shop already closed.

After several visits to Kushiyaki Chikuzenya Japanese Restaurant, I can definitely say it is Cebu’s best Japanese restaurant. The first time I had their Tonkotsu Ramen I knew I’ll be coming back for more. The firm noodles in pork bone soup seasoned with fresh milk, miso and other japanese spices are waves of flavors potent to cure your weary soul. (TIP: You can ask for free extra soup. Just be polite. The special assorted seven kinds of sashimi (Jo Sashimi platter completes the Japanese restaurant experience along with other staple food like sushi and tempura. In every Japanese Restaurant cleanliness is a must. The proper handling of the raw ingredients is of utmost importance. Chikuzenya champions that by maintaining an open kitchen, you’ll see your food as it is prepared. Located at the food avenue of Mandaue, it is close to home but trips should be planned wisely to avoid coming during heavy down pours, we all know the perennial flooding problem at AS Fortuna, right?

One of the most authentic japanese cuisine restos in Cebu. They dont scrimp on the quantity and quality of their dishes. Food here is always satisfactory. We had yakitaru ju and tori karaaage bento :

One of my frequently recommended restaurants to try whenever friends ask me about which Japanese restaurant they should dine in. They sushis and sashimis are very satisfactory. Also, should you order their great-tasting Butabara Nabe, make sure to order the ramen set with optional/additional Aji tamago. The ramen set, of course, only if you haven't finished slurping all the pork broth from the Nabe.
