Maki-All-You-Can for only P350.00???


Last Friday, a payday, my work friends, family and I head over to Manila Maki, my favorite Japanese-Filipino fusion resto, and took advantage of their month-long Thank-You-To-All-Our-Loyal-Customers promo, the Maki All You Can, for only, wait for it... P350.00!


As soon as I learned of this promo, I immediately rounded up my work buddies and asked them if they want to join my family and I on this amazing deal. Well, they said yes, and from our original group of 5, we grew to 10!
Table for 10 please

Anyway, at 6 PM on a Friday night, the gang and I got ourselves seated at a long table in the middle of the room where we immediately ordered everything on the laminated menu.
Buffet Menu

But before you get too excited, let me tell you first that only the dishes on the laminated menu (not their regular menu) are included in the buffet. There are four kinds of Maki, 6 pieces per serving:
  • Osaka Maki (P155.00) - has crab sticks, cucumber, Japanese mayo (on top), tanuki flakes and chili powder (for that extra kick!)
    Osaka Maki (P155.00)

  • Pinoydon Maki (P155.00) - adobo chunks, mango and cream cheese (yummy!)
    Pinoydon Maki (P155.00)
  •  Aligue Maki (P145.00) - kani, cucumber and taba ng talangka (high-blood alert!)
    Aligue Maki (P145.00)
  • Oahu Maki (P140.00) - spam, teriyaki sauce and nori (spam, really?!)
    Oahu Maki (P140.00)
 Then there are nine main entrees:
  • Pinoydon Tofu (P135.00) 3 pcs. - it's tofu, not tokwa so its really, really soft, like taho, while the crust is crunchy and golden brown
    Pinoydon Tofu (P135.00)
  • Longgiyoza (P125.00) 4 pcs. - Lucban longganisa and leeks for the filling, dumpling wrapper for the wrapper and then steamed, and finally, fried.
    Longgiyoza (P125.00)
  • Bon Bon Chicken (P185.00) - deep-fried boneless chicken chunks coated with sweet sauce and drizzled with Japanese mayo, perfect with Gohan
    Bon Bon Chicken (P185.00)
  • Pork Kare Katsu (P215.00) - it's Katsudon with kare kare sauce
    Pork Kare Katsu (P215.00)
  • Calamares (P185.00) - its Calamares but with wasabi mayo
    Calamares (P185.00)
  • Pinoydon Fried Chicken (P175.00) - deep fried boneless chicken chunks, like the Bon Bon Chicken, but no sauce coating.
  • Tempura Ukoy (P145.00) - deep fried veggie strips molded into chunks
  • Talong Teriyaki (P95.00) - sliced paper-thin talong, deep fried, served with sweet sauce
And of course, there's rice too! Pinoy Chahan (P70.00) - Japanese fried rice and Gohan (P40.00) - plain rice
Pinoy Chahan (P70.00)
Drinks are not included in the P350.00 buffet, but for an additional P50.00, you get a glass of their unique iced tea. If you want to go bottomless, just add P70.00. Not bad since the regular price of their bottomless iced tea is P95.00.

So after almost two hours (we were given from 6 to 8 only) with our tummies really full of Manila Maki food and air from non-stop laughing, our total bill is P4,073.93.
Longest Meal Bill...ever
And so, another epic pig out accomplished.

Happy eating... I sure did!
