Dōitashimashite! Chibo Okonomiyaki's Umami Meals To Try in Mandaluyong

It was a year ago when Chibo Okonomiyaki opened its first restaurant in S Maison Pasay City, here in the Philippines. It aspires to serve Filipino families by presenting Osaka-based origin restaurant, concept by the General Hideyoshi Totoyomi. In history, Hideyoshi built his castle with "Chibo" in its flag. He likes gold and calligraphy.

Chibo has been popular in Osaka with their okonomiyaki and teppanyaki table offerings. The one in S Maison have "teppan" on the tables, but not in Podium, Mandaluyong. The idea is to have wider and spacious tables for people who wants to maximize and meals and have more conversations.
