It's been almost three years
since I last visited Ginzadon Japanese and Korean Restaurant so I'm wanted to refresh my memory during this revisit.
It has the same familiar ambiance that I remembered.
On a weekday night, it was packed with a mix match of diners. They were business executives, tourists and families.
There is the sushi bar and teppanyaki bar. The former seemed to be unoccupied.
Food
Their menu has two sections:
Japanese and
Korean so its quite clear that they offer authentic cuisine and not fusion.
 |
| Okazu (Japanese Side Dishes) and Ban Chan (Korean Side Dishes) |
I like their idea of having both Okazu (Japanese Side Dishes) and Ban Chan (Korean Side Dishes) served .
Japanese Menu: Sashimi
 |
| Sashimi Moriawase Matsu (1,870 php) |
The
Sashimi Moriawase Matsu or special assorted sashimi depends on availability. As you can see everything is so fresh! It had
Hokkigai (surf clam),
Ebi (shrimps),
Ikura (roe),
Sake (salmon),
Maguro (tuna),
Saba (mackarel),
Hamachi (yellow tail) and
Tako (squid). It was actually my first time to try the
Hokkigai and it certainly won't be the last because I loved it!
Japanese Menu: Uramaki
 |
| Tempura Ura Maki (770 php) |
The
Tempura Ura Maki is a platter of huge caifornia roll with prawn tempura. The rolls are so big I can't fit them on my mouth! Each roll has nori bits on top roe on the side, quality sticky rice, crunchy nori, prawn tempura, cucumber, ripe mango and crab stick.
 |
| Dragon Roll Maki (950 php) |
The
Dragon Roll Maki is the king of all maki!
 |
| Dragon Roll Maki (950 php) |
It's a big roll with prawn tempura, crab meat, cucumber, ripe mango wrapped with sticky rice, crunchy nori and grilled salmon skin glazed with unagi sauce and sprinkled with sesame. It is similar to the
Tempura Ura Maki so you can skip that and order this instead.
Korean Menu: Classics
 |
| Kim Chi Jji Gae (400 php) |
Being a s
picy food lover, I often order the
kimchi stew whenever offered so I've tried many renditions. This
Kim Chi Jji Gae is the best one I've tried yet! The spiciness is exciting but not overwhelming. Aside from kimchi, it also has 3 slices of soft silky tofu, green onions and sliced beef.
Japanese Menu: Tempura
 |
| Ebi Tempura (720 php) |
You can judge by the appearance that this is high quality
Ebi Tempura.
 |
| Galbi Bi Jim (1,440 php) |
The
Galbi Bi Jim first struck me as expensive. But when it was served, I realized that it was a hefty serving. It has several huge chunks of braised prime rib short ribs, big cuts of carrots, onions, bell peppers and potato. This
braised rib stew is actually a favorite dish of the family so I've tried quite a handful. I have to admit, this version is way more superior than the others I've tried.
Desserts
 |
| Nuk Cha (110 php) |
Since I loved the
Shiratama Zenzai with green tea ice cream from my first visit, I opted to order the
Nuk Cha or green tea ice cream. It was as delicious as I recalled it to be!
 |
| Black Sesame Ice Cream (125 php) |
The
Black Sesame Ice Cream is just as good!
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Ginzadon Japanese and Korean Restaurant offers authentic and quality Japanese and Korean dishes that doesn't scrimp on the serving size and quality of both local and imported ingredients. The price is expensive but justifiable because it's situated in a hotel, it offers a great ambiance and service and the dishes are really top-notch.
