Nagomi Authentic Japanese Cuisine

About the food:

There are a lot of Japanese restaurants, like Teriyaki Boy, Tokyo Tokyo, and many more. However, only a few can be said to be truly authentic Japanese cuisine and not customized to filipino taste (i.e. more sweet).

Nagomi is one of the most authentic japanese restaurants we have tried so far. For instance, while most restaurants have tuna and salmon sashimi, Nagomi is the only one I know that has tako sushi, or octopus sushi. The octopus was good. It was fresh and not hard as rubber.

Furthermore, they have generous servings of authentic tasting ramen.

One order of the Gomoku (seafood) ramen is good enough to be split into two large bowls. When I say two, its really for two hungry adults, and not one and a half. What really sets this ramen apart from other japanese restaurants is their flavorful broth. It's so full of flavor that you'd want to sip every soup.

On a sidenote, they also provide some complimentary appetizer while waiting for your orders.

Moving on, we also ordered beef miso yaki. The beef was very soft and tender and highly recommended.

Finally, for dessert we ordered coffee and milk jelly.  Both the milk and coffee proved to be a great end to a great lunch.
