Kenji Tei - Santa Cruz

I absolutely adore the crispy California maki at this restaurant! The portion size is very generous and it will definitely leave you feeling satisfied. It pairs perfectly with a side of Shoyu sauce.

Oh my goodness! The ramen was incredibly delicious, with a rich and flavorful broth. This is the best restaurant I have tried in the Philippines. Definitely give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Overall, it wasn't just because we were hungry that we enjoyed our meal, everything was simply magical!

The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere with ample seating for a large group. I recommend trying the Tempura, Mapo Tofu Ramen, and Crispy Chicken Teriyaki dishes.

Kenji tei was originally a small bf restaurant. Now it has grown to several branches and a wider menu. They have an excellent selection of sashimi, ramen and rice flours.

There are quite a number of good Japanese Restaurants here in the Philippines, but I have to say that this one is, by far, the best. The food is amazing, the service is good, and the ambiance is perfect for almost any occasion. But what...sets this restaurant apart from the others, is it 's CONSISTENCY. Have you ever been to a restaurant, eat praise worthy food, tell your friends about it and bring them to visit, only to have them and you disappointed because the food just didn 't taste the same as when you first had it? I know I have, and the experience is quite unpleasant. This is what separates 'Kenji Tei Nuvali ' apart from the rest. I 've been to this restaurant quite A LOT, and time and time again, I left with a full-stomach and wonderful experience. The food is consistently amazing and cooked to perfection. Surely a go-to place for a special occasion, to impress a date, or when you simply want to eat good food.
