After several months, I am back,
Kapitolyo! I read a couple of restaurant reviews on the new establishments in
Kapitolyo, one of which is Nori.
Since it has been getting a lot of buzz, I decided to invite my mom, sister and
R to have lunch there last Sunday.
Hello, Nori!
Just like most Kapitolyo
restaurants, parking is a challenge. Luckily, R and I were early and got the
one and only parking of the restaurant. My mom came in a bit later and she
parked a block away.
The menu is simple and you only have
a handful of options to choose from which makes ordering easier for the fickle-minded.
We ordered Bacon Crab Sticks
(PHP39/stick), Chicken Yakitori
(PHP39/stick), Mojos (PHP69), Chicken Teriyaki Burrito
(PHP149), Beef
Bulgogi Burrito (PHP169), Miso
Glazed Salmon
Burrito (PHP189), Angus Beef Teriyaki (PHP119) with one raw egg
(PHP10). We also ordered house blend
iced tea (PHP55).
First served were our drinks and
mojos. The iced tea was sweet yet refreshing. It went well with the mojos which
were thinly sliced and nicely spiced. I also enjoyed dipping the mojos with the
Wasabi Mayo (which was not spicy at all).
Next served was my Miso
Glazed Salmon Burrito.
I liked the sweet sauce but I find it a bit off with the cabbage for some
reason. The salmon
was also a bit dry. And it was messy to eat. The fried potato
chips on the side added a nice texture to the dish but it was slightly
burnt having a bitter taste.
The yakitori
sticks soon followed and the Bacon
Crab
Stick is literally crab sticks with bacon. It was okay though quite oily.
The chicken
yakitori was pretty ordinary too. Both were a bit salty so it might be good to
eat it with rice.
