Wednesday, May 11, 2011 – This is the day that when my definition of a good Japanese restaurant/bar changed, as there is no doubt that Robotayaki rendition of a Japanese restaurant will surely make me go back again and again.
Robotayaki is a Japanese restaurant and bar that definitely serves Japanese food that is very different from what you grow up with, as food prepared artistically. In fact, you will even hesitate touching your food, as you will be ruining a work of art. However, the food alone is not the only thing that makes people go back to the place but the different but very cool design of the restaurants. After all, where in the Philippines can you find a resto with flooring consists of nothing but glass? Yup! You got it right, you will even be afraid to walk for the first time for fear of shattering it, if you so much as jump or run.
The other interesting about Robotayaki, which my kids and I really love is the way the bathrooms created. Just look at the photos below, as pictures can explain easily what I wanted to convey.
(The bathroom has a TV and when i was inside, it was showing Voltes V)
The ceiling made of bulb is another thing that makes the entire place worth visiting. The creativity of the people behind the creation of Robotayaki clearly seen not just with food they serve artistically but also with the design of the place.

By the way, if ever you decide that Robotayaki is a must try place, please think twice before ordering their Maguro Pizza, it is freaking spicy hot… My kids and I were laughing hard trying to douse the taste in our mouth since it feels like it is burning. If you are brave enough, then order one and taste for yourself.. Don’t’ say, I did not warn you!...

Oh, one more thing, do not get intimidated about the place it may be the hangout of the stars and well to-do people, but the food in the menu will surely surprised you as the price are just affordable. In fact, some of the restaurants in Makati like the one we had dinner prior to transferring to Robotayaki, has even pricier menu. However, do not expect the servings to be big as ‘small’ portion is what you will get. Thou, I have not tried their main course as we already have dinner and just went there for dessert and to check out the place, so on my next visit I will know for sure…
Mango Cheese Cake P322.72 (Yummy!)
Chicken Yaki P 145.45 (BBQ)
Mango and Strawberry Shake P 131.82
If you want a nice place to visit, something out of the ordinary then Robotayaki is worth checking out…

Ps: Robotayaki is located besides Manila Penisula, along Makati Avenue.
