Okuya, Naga: Affordable Japanese Food

Okuya, Naga City
Affordable Japanese Food

Japanese Restaurants are a plenty in Naga City.

I remember Benihana in Mayon Avenue in the

mid 90’s pioneering Japanese Cuisine in Naga.

This was followed by Makiyaki and Tokyo Tokyo

in popular Magsaysay Avenue in the early 2000.

Benihana and Tokyo Tokyo are both gone but

Rai Rai Ken, made waves in Naga City’s culinary

landscape when it opened about two years ago.

Just this week, Okuya, another Manila- based

Japanese Restaurant opened at the Piazza in

Magsaysay Avenue and added luster the this

magnificent and popular dining strip.

It was almost 3 PM when we arrived at Okuya

and there were  very few people around,



 

...and  ordering food was a breeze as then menu was 
displayed by the counter in a convenient fast food manner.

The food was also served fast and each dish was

meant for solo serving but we decided to share

what we ordered and it came with a bowl of soup.

 

First to come was the Mixed Sashimi.

 

This staple Japanese dish has always been

a family favorite, and we emptied the first

plate fast that we ordered another serving.

Then came the Mixed Tempura,

made up of Fish, Shrimps, and Vegetables.

It was very delicious.

My family ,specially my young son

enjoyed the Salmon Teriyaki
served with bean sprouts,

…and found the Dory Steak

very yummy.

 

My wife liked the Katsu Curry very much

but I found the dish odd as it was my first time

to see a Japanese dish topped with curry

which is not typical to Japanese cuisine.

We were also served a complimentary

Japanese Green Tea after our meal.

We spent a little over 800 Pesos,

(about twenty US dollars), which was

surprisingly affordable but delicious.

While most of the Okuya Restuarants in Manila
are located on mall's foodcourts, their Naga branch
had a fine dining look- but very budget friendly price.
