Going Japanese at Tokyo Joe's

One of the best things about having a sorta Japanese-looking boyfriend is that you could just trick almost everybody into thinking that he can't understand what you are talking about. This scenario happens all the time, most especially if he's dressed up. LOL

While walking around the mall, he all of a sudden is hungry---AGAIN. We were about to go to Mang Inasal's but due to the restaurant being overcrowded, we settled for the less crowded restaurant, Tokyo Joe's. I was a bit skeptical, because Japanese restaurants are usually expensive and I wasn't in the mood to wash any dishes at all.

But when we checked out the prices and the servings, it was no doubt that the little Japanese restaurant that you can barely notice at the Lower Ground Floor of SM City Cebu would become BF's favorite restaurant. He loves making faces whenever I take shots of him, so don't be surprised at his expressions.

The food was priced just right for our pockets, so we ordered as much as we can eat. Take a look at what we've had so far.

Tokyo Joe's Menu with BF

From top: Beef Bento, Beef Rice Bowl, California Maki and Chicken Bento

I liked the Chicken from the Chicken Bento since it was really tender, and the taste wasn't so bad either. The Gohan (Rice) was also nice from the fact that it wasn't sticky, or too dry. Plus, I didn't have a hard time picking up the little rice grains left on the Bento Box.

Beef Bento

BF's favorite. He'd trade any other meat in the world for this.

California Maki

I personally ordered this so that I could compare it with Rai Rai Ken's Crumchy Salmon Roll at Ayala Center Cebu, but RRK's still the better roll for me.

Red Iced Tea

This is one tasty iced tea. I wouldn't mind having seconds.

Beef Rice Bowl

Apparently, a Bento Box is not enough for him, hence the Beef Rice Bowl. If you noticed, it's just the Beef Bento without the Bento Box, veggies and Tempura.

The whole area was clean, except that some of the tables forget to be wiped clean by the crew. I wish the crew would be more attentive to the cleanliness of the tables, because like most customers, I really hate sitting on a dirty table before ordering. ^_^
