Since being introduced to the John & Yoko restaurant in Greenbelt 5 a couple of years ago, I've been coming back to taste my favorites, either with friends or family. The interiors suggest early on that John & Yoko offers something more than the average Japanese fare -- modern Japanese with a twist. I love how they made circles a part of the design from the lighted wall decors, to the designs on the wood cabinets.
Recently, they replaced some of their ho-hum dining chairs with these funky Japanese themed chairs.
John & Yoko's menu boasts of a wild variety of maki, tempura and rice bowls plus salads, pizzas and more; and it does hurt that the prices are affordable and competitive. Among my favorites are:
Big Star Salad
A delicious mix of fresh crispy greens, mango slices, shrimps, cherry tomatoes and peanut brittle bits.
Spider Roll
Soft shell crabs wrapped in rice and topped with orange caviar and teriyaki sauce.
Ika Fritters with Cocktail Sauce
Crunchy squid rings with tomato-based cocktail sauce.
Bacon Enoki
Enoki mushrooms wrapped in smoky bacon garnished with spring onions and brown sauce.
Tofu Steak
Fried tofu slices in oyster sauce with beef slices and cubed carrots.
Chicken Teriyaki and Mango Pizza
Mozarella pizza topped with chicken teriyaki bits and mango cubes plus spring onions, toasted sesame seeds and orange caviar...a surprisingly good combination.
For drinks, they have the bottomless dalandan (blue), calamansi (red) and lime (green) that are equally refreshing and thirst quenching.
I have yet to try their other food offerings but I'm sure that my next visits will give me and my companions a truly unique dining experience every time.
