We enjoyed our meal here. I loved their spicy miso ramen. The maki rolls were also very good. To also add that the interior design of the place was very satisfying. Amazing.

A decent Japanese restaurant with decent prices. Their service was great, their staff was very attentive. The atmosphere, the lighting specifically, needs improvement, it was a little too dim for me. Food is not bad; something that you can go back to from time to time.

Service here is excellent. They are all organized and very well trained. We ordered different dishes this time, and here's our take: Kushiyaki: 5/5. From the salmon, chicken skin, and beef, I recommend them all. Agedashi Tofu: 3/5, it's very well fried, but the topping and umami sauce didn't work for me; it's better to just dip it in soy sauce. Pork Tonkatsu: 5/5 Chicken Teriyaki: 4/5

Great customer service. Serving time is 10-15mins. Black garlic ramen was good. The texture of the pasta was okay as well. I just don’t like the taste of the Chicken Manila Gyoza. Will definitely comeback and try other food in their menu.

Kureji in Ali Mall branch has sizzling ramen bowl. Once they serve the ramen bowl, they will provide you a small sandglass which measure the 1-min wait to pour the broth into the ramen. Since the broth is separate, you will fill it after one minute, otherwise if poured too early, it will overflow and dry up. The chopstick and scooper is provided for eating time.

We just went here for dinner and tried out their food. I got ramen and it was okay. I’m a fan if creamy ramen and theirs is not so creamy. Serving size is good for me but for someone who has a huge appetite, their serving would be small. Love their mango milkshake sooo good! All in all, since this is the nearest Japanese restau in our area I would def go back however, this would not be my first option

Found a new favorite Japanese restaurant. There are many restaurants in Cubao area, but this place is definitely a must-try. ​The sushi and rolls are delicious. The ingredients are fresh and the quality is excellent. I also appreciate the atmosphere here. It is calm and relaxing. You can eat with peace and enjoy your food. The service is efficient and professional as well. I will surely come back soon.

Wow found a hidden gem here in Ali Mall. Didnt want a crowded place for my senior parent. I wanted something light, he wanted soup - so we settled for Japanese. Ordered salmon sashimi, skewers, tuna tartare salad and sizzling tomato seafood ramen (with refill of tomato soup). They even gave apron, so it wont stain our clothes Great service, friendly staff. Good food
