Ginzadon Ӫ

“The food is so-so but they have HUGE ebi tempuras,” I promised.

And that is how we end up at Ginzadon.

 

Banchan on my first visit

 

Banchan on my second visit

 

Salmon Sashimi – not really the best quality but ok lah

 

Uni Sushi – uni is sweet but seaweed is already soggy

 

Unagi Temaki – the rice is not sushi rice quality, and there is just too much of it. The eel is cold and dry.

 

Ama Ebi on my first visit – not too fresh but not too bad

 

Ama Ebi – not fresh and tastes a bit slimy. I wish the chef removed those tiny green eggs on the leftmost shrimp before serving it to us.

 

California Roll with Unagi – again, not sushi rice quality. Each roll breaks apart when I try to pick it up with my chopsticks. The unagi is cold and dry and hard.

 

Look at the seaweed. It’s melting.

 

Beef Teppanyaki – Hello, Batangas beef! Are you sure this is teppanyaki, not TAPA-nyaki?

 

Ebi Tempura – okay, they’re bigger than the usual, but not as HUGE as the ones from Lanai.

 

Green Tea Ice Cream – thank God they didn’t mess this up

 

Guess who I spy at the next table.

Yes, it’s THE Rajo!

 

Judging from the leftovers on his table, I would say either the cute top fashion designer of the country is on a diet or he doesn’t like the food that much either. 

A case of an “ok” restaurant turned bad.

What happened there, Ginzadon?
