Q. What happens when you combine Pinoy food + Japanese food?
A. Manila Maki
Manila Maki is the newest restaurant nestled in Salcedo Village, Makati. It serves Filipino Japanese fusion cuisine.
Aryanna and I spotted this hole in the wall resto while on our mom and daughter bonding time a week before Holy Week.
The curious cats
Aryanna: Ooh… cute logo! Let’s try it, mom!
Me: Cute lang ng logo try na agad? Over… Ooh… I like the wallpaper! Let’s eat!
My lunch date
Aryanna ordered Milk Green Tea with pearls while I had sake
The interior:
Manila Maki’s interior is funky and cozy. I like the use of Japanese newspapers as wallpaper.
What is “JaPinoy” cuisine?
Imagine a crunchy tuna maki with “taba ng talangka” on top or a not-so-classic Philadelphia Roll using kesong puti, bacon bits, and fresh salmon. Their signature “Manila Maki”, which had fresh tuna, nilasing na hipon, and crunchy garlic. That’s “JaPinoy”!
My favorite: Seared Tuna Kinilaw
I give this two legs up! Saraaap!
Seared yellow fin tuna encrusted with white and black sesame seeds, topped with mixed peppers, and served with a spicy garlic vinegar. Mmm…
Must-try: their signature “Manila Maki”
nilasing na hipon, fresh Philippine mango, and kani salad rolled in garlic sushi rice, topped with fresh slices of tuna, drizzled with mango dressing
Ebi tempura
We ordered the 3-pc. shrimp tempura
Teppanyaki Salpicao
Garlic-y salty goodness! You can’t eat this without rice. Haaay!
The rice
Aligue Chahan. Talo-talo na ‘to!
Pinoydon Fried Chicken
Crispylicious fried chicken fillet served with gravy. Parang popcorn ko lang itong kinain! LOL
Aryanna’s favorite: Pork Katsu with Gravy
Pork cutlet with Japanese bread crumbs topped with mushroom gravy and served with a side salad.
Sa dami ng inorder namin, ang lakas ng loob na umorder pa ng dessert!
Banana Surprise
For sharing. Banana fritter topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup
Welcome Manila Maki to our Salcedo Village neighborhood!
Buti na lang maaraw sa table namin, kaya pasok si Tom Ford giant shades sa banga! Hahaha!
You don’t have to live in Salcedo Village to experience the goodness of Manila Maki because they deliver. Can I hear a “bongga”? Bongga!

Aryanna and I have been to Manila Maki four times already in the last few weeks. We recommend to also try the following:
Pinoydon Maki – we love the adobo and cream cheese combo. Eto yung kanin and ulam na bite-size. Portion control ang peg!
Tuna Maki Crunch – shrimp tempura, kani salad and mango rolled panko-crusted sushi rice, topped with spicy tuna salad. This dish is value for your money! Two in one naman ang peg: Tempura roll + Spicy tuna salad
Beef Yakiniku – thin slices of beef marinated in Pinoy spices and Japanese sauce served with crunchy veggies. Yum!
Please support Manila Maki. Aryanna and I want them to open five more branches so everyone can taste their innovative dishes!
