saboten

i have always preferred the katsu atsabotenover its competitors. they fry their katsu to golden perfection retaining its tenderness. i just wish they have more branches across the metro.

used my zomato gold here with my officemates. was not disappointed. the food we ordered is thesabotenspecial set (2pcs buy-one-take-one on zomatogold). serving was plenty, and for its price, i recommend it. definitely will go back here soon.

privileged to have been invited last february to one of  zomato foodie choice 2019 restaurants. saboten is one of the family's favorite japanese restaurants and it is always a joy to dine there. we tasted the following specialty menu. ginger pork shokayagi with sweet radish steak set p495. tsuki (moon) p775

with an extensive menu of japanese fare, japanese zen garden ambiance, and good quality food,sabotencan satisfy you and fill you up real good no matter what the occasion. but if you, as a couple, both love japanese food, go for their specialty courses and share a sakura jelly since it's available for a limited time only.

this for me is the best japanese restaurant in the metropolis that offers serene ambiance, appetizing menu, and super delicious bento/set meals. highly recommended is their specialty set named yuki or snow. this bento is served with unlimited cabbage and pickles for the sides, two salads, pork loin or chicken karaage as appetizers, unlimited rice and miso soup, two deep-fried shrimp and one rolled cutlet for the main dish. you can choose from asparagus, cheese, or plum cutlet. lastly, it also comes with a dessert of either vanilla or green tea ice cream to complete your dainty meal. . aside from this, you can also choose from the other two specialty sets of tsuki (moon) and hana (flower), and other signature set menus to cater your taste and appetite. lastly, you can maximize your dining experience with their 1+1 o food every you dine atsabotenusing your zomato gold membership.

the food is good as well as the ambiance. will definetly go back atsabotenbgc ❤❤❤ #shabushabuislove #tenderloinislove. #good #food #good #mood

i’ve been doing food blog since 4 years ago, and since this is my first review here, that means its been at least 4 years since i hadsabotenin serendra.

the recipes of this 6-year-old store must have been consistent. and based on our experience last sunday, i say they are on the right track to last even longer.

we were a group of six and we decided to take turns trying different kinds of katsu. and while we were waiting we had some of the unlimited cabbage with creamy, sweet, sesame sauce. some of us got busy with grinding some black and white sesame seeds. we also got to share an order of chicken salad.

so what did we have? here’s a quick rundown- pork tenderloin, tenderloin & shrimp, curry loin, katsudon, and the claypot chicken katsu. all meats were plump, quite lean and not greasy.

everyone found familiarity with the katsudon, a katsu combined with egg, vegetables, and sauce on a bed of rice. this dish was the first to go.

the tenderloin & shrimp was the next popular order. the shrimps were limited but the pork was as captivating since it had a crunchy outside texture and a juicy center.

claypot chicken katsu was a welcome variation, and it went well with its base of tonkatsu sauce. curry loin, on the other hand, got the least attention, but it was my top pick. i’ve always been a japanese curry fanatic.

saboten serendra just in case you haven’t been, is on the ground floor. it is beside the art bar. if you have been but it’s been too long, it’s time to visit again.

i dined here twice in a span of 5 months (the first one was last april and the second visit was last september 2019). i used my zomato gold on both visits and here was my experience:

on my first visit (april 2019), i was able to use my 1+1 food privilege. no specific food item for the second order (shared sets are excluded) so my husband and i got the rolled cutlet meal and a katsu curry meal for him. we only paid for the one with the higher price.

on my second visit (september 2019), i dined there again with my husband and brother.sabotenhas changed their terms on the 1+1 privilege - the main dish available for the second item are a la carte cutlets (3 choices: tenderloin, loin and chicken cutlets). rice, soup and cabbage are charged with additional fee. i'm not sure if this is still the same or they have changed their terms again. no complaints though as every restaurant has their own terms on using the zomato gold privilege.

food was superb. i love the rolled cutlets with cheese. line is long especially during lunch time but staff is organized in handling the line. service was just okay - hard to call their attention and they sometimes forget your request.

i'm not fond of cutlets butsabotenchanged my mind. i love the unlimited fresh shredded cabbage and pickled vegetables, plus the sesame seeds that goes well with the sauces. definitely coming back to get my veggie and protein fix!

good food. large serving. good customer service. one of our favorite japanese resto. we’ll always come back! ☺️ best seller:sabotenset meals

great food but service is always poor here. whereas other restaurants make a point to welcome guests and inform them of waiting times or the status of tables, somehowsabotengets by with having no one at reception and staff passing by while trying to avoid eye contact. after waiting for a while and calling attention, the waitress will just note your name then continue ignoring you for several more minutes before finally calling you to your table. been here multiple times and it’s usually like this. customer experience is an afterthought at saboten.

i visit bgc weekly and i always see this place before but i never had the urge to dine here. when i availed zg andsabotenwas included, i then had the chance to try it here...and i was addicted. i also love the fact that they serve the cabbage salad first and it makes the waiting so much better. i've been here about 4 times already and planning to visit again since i love their food.

my favorite is their "shrimp-fry set" and i always, always order this; creamy, delicious shrimp. their sesame dressing is also better than y.

there is no "lugi" when dining here especially when you have zomato gold. i just recommend that they include fruits, brown rice, wasabi dressing and an option to have the curry spicy.
