Shitamachi Japanese Chasyu House Podium Mall Ortigas Mandaluyong. Recently opened on August 4, 2013 by a group of local lawyers, their focus is on Japanese Chasyu or roasted pork. Their chasyu is good - melts in your mouth, we had it in their Shoyu Ramen and Tan Tan Men. Gyoza was decent as well but the salmon don was quite small. The only issue we had was there was a unknown hard object in the Tan Tan Men the size of a pea and white in color so I sent it back and the staff and the kitchen could not figure out - what it was and how it got there! So imagine a restaurant serving food and not knowing what goes into their clients mouth! This story even gets more interesting. They bring us the bill and it does not include the Tan Tan Men but for being put through stress versus an enjoyable dining experience we shouldn't even have to even pay for the whole bill! I did not want to make a fuss and stress myself even more so this was fine that the Tan Tan Men was not included in the bill presented, but when I gave my credit card to be charged - They added the Tan Tan Men back on the total!!!! So this infuriated me completely, they present one bill and then be sneaky and charge another thinking I would not notice so I then complained and they reimbursed me in cash. While the food did have some good flavors we will probably not come back as the experience of not knowing what you are being served is disconcerting. Thank you for watching.
