My go to place for katsu curry. I prefer their recipe over coco ichibanya for some reason. But the kazuya katsu curry is what I always aim for yet its always unavailable, so I settle for the regular rosu katsu curry. The meat is always soft, and delicious. Paired with their unlimited cabbage and kewpie dressing. I like the overall taste. Opt for the brown rice and it was surprisingly soft. Usually brown rice has a tough texture. The miso soup served was a bit salty. I think they forgot to dilute it. Watermelon wasn't sweet nor sour. It was plain bland and yellowish in hue. I think it was not ripe to consume yet. Service was preoccupied. Completely understandable since they have a number of customers lined up and waiting. Atmosphere was neither hot nor cold, temperature was just okay. We sat by the window. Overall vibe, I might have to add that the place smells like a fast food restaurant, if you know what I mean by that. It wasn't entirely pleasant. An air purifier/revitalizer would probably fix that.

4 stars because the staff kept their cool (especially our server Nathan) even if there was a full house. Attentive and really nice too. Lots of other groups during my visit so it was quite noisy - table next to us were so loud so that took away from ambiance. All of our orders came in about 25-30 minutes after we ordered but it's okay, the Furikake Fries was served early so we had something to munch on before the big meals. I noticed there were so many service stations on this restaurant though but I appreciate how they tried to cover it and keep it organized and clean. Food taste and quality is the same as always whichever Yabu I go to so yay I loved my Hire and Salmon.

Exceptional japanese katsu that is served with a crisp! This restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that is inviting. The menu was simple and we'll organized. Pro tip: you can request for unlimited soup and cabbage! So don't forget to bring your pet rabbit along with you when you dine.

(May 14, 2023) The Glorietta branch of the Yabu chain of Japanese restaurants. Of the variations in Japanese cuisine, their specialty is mainly in katsu. Nice clean ambience and good food. The only suggestion that I put in the feedback card that they give customers is that they should have an info card for their condiments. I'm sure that katsu aficionados know which is which, but for someone like me who's more of a ramen guy when it comes to Japanese food, I had to ask the staff about it.

For the first time since I started eating in Yabu back in 2011, I ordered a non-katsu dish -- gyudon. Wow, I was blown away that they had really good gyudon. Definitely reco to order this especially if you don't feel like eating katsu or you're not a fan of katsu. As always though, I had to order layu because it's so so sooooo good. Sad to know though that it's now priced at Php80 (before it was around Php40) and they still give little amount & kinda dry arrving. Wakame appetizer was also good. Service though was slower vs Megamall but maybe they were lacking in manpower during my time of visit.

Authentic Japanese Katsu with refillable side dishes? Sugoi. ♥️ Katsu lovers definitely know how good the Katsu dishes are in Yabu House of Katsu . Their katsudon sets are full of variety, from pork and chicken, to salmon and ebi. All come with refillable rice, miso soup, cabbage, fruit and juice. Make sure to try preparing their signature katsu sauce. ♥️

Came here for lunch, it’s better to come before 12, as it usually get crowded. I love their appetizer, “koroke tamago”, it taste nice and the portion is quite full-filling. Try it next time you visit Yabu! The curry is quite nice, however, it’s not my favorite. My husband usually order their Rosu Katsu Set. Overall, nice ambiance, reasonable price and friendly staff!
