My Manila Trip: Yakimix buffet
Apart of visiting Fitness First in Manila, things that I did the most in my recent trip to Manila was eating. I have visited to many restaurants in Manila and generally they are not bad. The only buffet that I visited was Yakimix (新天下日韩料理) restaurant. In this restaurant, you can enjoy Korea cuisine, Japanese cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine in one time!
There are few Yakimix restaurants in Manila. I went the branch which is located in Greenbelt 3, Makati. They have other branches in SM Mall of Asia, Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard, Tomas Morato, Trinoma Mall, Podium, and SM Masinag. From the number of branches, you can see how famous it is in Manila.
In term of pricing, it is considered cheap compare to same style of buffet that serves in Malaysia. We paid P599 (about USD 14.50) per pax for dinner in weekend. I heard there is promotion for weekday lunch which is P499 (about USD 12) per pax. So, I believe this is very good deal for a buffet in a nice environment. The buffet price stated is not inclusive of drinks, but they do provide free flow of drinking water. So, it is optional for you to order extra drinks.
Now you see the price is affordable, so you can expect to see crowd waiting outside before the restaurant open for business. I will advise you to call for booking before you visit to Yakimis restaurant to ensure your seat. At the same time, please be there slightly earlier before they open for business. Below are the business hours:
- Mon - Thurs: 11:00 am - 2:00 pm (lunch) and 5:30 pm - 10:00 pm (dinner)
- Fri - Sun: 11:00 am - 2:30 pm (lunch) and 5:30 pm - 10:30 pm (dinner)
So, if you are visiting to Manila and finding place for buffet, this is the place that I would recommend to you. You can see the pictures below for the crowd, the environment, and the food in Yakimix restaurant in Manila.
