The place is quite spacious. It has the perfect mixture of coziness for those who would just like to hang out, and the simplicity for small business meetings. The interiors are just typical of a traditional Japanese restaurant, with some modern twists here and there.
Most of my teammates got the rice bowl meals from their lunch menu. I only got to take a picture of my plate and that of Abby’s, who was seating beside me. These rice meals range from PHP350-PHP480. But the reason why some of my teammates got convinced to come back was the fact that these rice meals are on 50% off for the entire month of June!
Abby had Oyako Don. This rice bowl topped with egg-coated chicken initially was unappealing to me. But because Abby also had this same meal the day before, I got intrigued and gave it a try! I got to try a few pieces of the chicken. The chicken strips are very tender, with the perfect blend of sweetness and tanginess. Abby topped it with tons of chili powder, so the extra heat gave this simple dish more depth flavor-wise.
Aside from Oyako Don, most of my teammates got Oudon’s Curry Don. I was initially hesitant to try it out. Given the fact that I love spicy dishes, I have been trying to mellow it down ever since I got pregnant for fear that I might get into an unexpected hyperacidity attack. But Mitch assured me that it’s not as hot as to what I’m used to so I gave it a go!
The meat is very tender. Both the carrots and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. The curry sauce has very strong flavors, but the heat was bearable. Those who are weak-hearted when it comes to spicy dishes but are willing to become adventurous for a day will surely love it. Its pungency was balanced out by the sweetness of the carrots.
Aside from the good food and nice ambiance, service is also very efficient. The waiting time was very short. The price range is actually not that bad given that each rice bowl is served with a small bowl of oudon. So imagine how ecstatic we were when we ended up just paying half of its original price! So if you happen to be in BGC, you might want to swing by Oudon! You still have a few more days to avail of their lunch meals promo. =)

ReplyDeleteWow. Wow. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWait. How dare I let June slipped away without trying this one out? Damn!
Food looks good. I love Japanese style presentations and plating. Very appetizing. =)
ReplyDeleteSo sulit if the entire meal only costs less than 200! They all look really delicious - and I can't believe the first picture if taken with an iPhone!
ReplyDeleteBGC has a loooot of restaurants I have yet to discover! I'm not a big fan of oudon, but with that kind of deal, maybe I'll try it. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great place to hang out in. I like that they don't make you wait that long for your food. And it's just in BGC, yahoo!
ReplyDeleteI love Japanese Curry! Their version looks really good.
ReplyDeletea visit to BCG is always a treat with all these foodie places around. We are all noodle lovers so we are most likely to enjoy this place. I will make sure to try that curry dish as it really looks very interesting.
