Chef Christine Nicole Nicolas
Albeit Mr.Kurosawa Restaurant has been around for more than three years now (Eastwood branch), this was the first time I was able to try it in their Newport Mall, Resorts World Manila branch, which is on their second year of operations.
The Euro-Japanese mix concept is new to me as well. The owners described it as “Japanese cuisine with a touch of European flair” headed by corporate Chef Christine Nicole Nicolas, Chef Benjamin Gonzales, and Chef Florabel Co-Yatco.
French-Japanese items like tempura or gyoza souflaits, steaks and fine wines; Greek-Japanese items like Japanese kebabs and salads; Spanish-Japanese items like the japaella; and Italian-Japanese items such as pastas and pizza, are among some of the interesting fusion cuisines. This is complemented with traditional Japanese favourites such as kobe, teriyaki, tempura, donburi, sushi and sashimi.
New Offerings
Their new offerings include chicken, katsu dishes, and milk teas. They are the following:
Tongkatsu (Breaded deep-fried pork cutlet)
Fish Katsu (P268)
and Shrimp Katsu (top photo)
There are also Salmon Katsu (P448) and Torikatsu (P288) which I was not able to try. Regular iced tea are at about P70; add P30 for the large size.
Highly Recommended
Highly recommended are the 4pc. Chicken Wings called Last Samurai (P298) and Ebi Katsu (P398).
Last Samurai (Chicken Wings)
Ebi Tempura
Needs Improvement
On the other hand, thier range of milk teas need perking up. I found the Strawberry Yakult Milk Tea (Sakura) and Matcha Milk Tea (Yojimbo) ordinary.
I have yet to try the Winter Melon Milk Tea (Sanjuru).
