May 12, 2026"This is my go-to Japanese resto in Makati for quality food at a fair price. The staff are consistently welcoming, service is smooth, and the option for valet parking makes visits easy. Portions are satisfying, flavors are on point, and overall it’s a great value for the area. Highly recommended!"

May 08, 2026"Nihon Bashitei is cultural icon that needs to be preserved. serving great lunch sets for more then a decade this place is still standing. service is always great and food is still pretty decent, but the place itself needs a refresh. As long as you are ready for a great japanese "greasy spoon diner" this is great place to go."

Apr 07, 2026"Great food reasonable prices. There’s parking on site but can get pretty busy so be ready to wait for other cars to move if you park inside. The food is good and overall service good as well. Loos are reasonably clean but the place is a bit old which is to be expected of establishments in this part of town."

Service was generally okay, though there were moments when it felt a bit slow during busy times. Still, the staff were polite and accommodating. Overall, a solid place for Japanese food."
