Octoboy: Not your regular Japanese restaurant
Undecided where to dine last night, me and my younger brother strolled around Banawe area. We’re looking for something different, somewhere we haven’t dined before. Then we found a small restaurant serving Japanese food. Octoboy Banawe.
The Food
I’m not sure if they’re serving octopus, because of the name Octoboy, but they have quite unique selections from their menu. No, they don’t serve sashimi or makis similar to our accustomed Japanese restaurants like Omakase, Saisaki or Terriyaki Boy. What they serve are Yakiudons, Takuyaki Balls, Japanese Pizzas and some rice toppings.
Well, me and bro is in a little tight budget so we got one order of Takuyaki Balls (6 pcs) and an eight inches Meaty Special Japanese Pizza. Originally bro likes the rice toppings, but I was quite intrigued by the Japanese Pizza so he has no choice but to comply with my choice. (LOL)
Bottomline: Food tastes good and is presented well. But as bro said, Japanese Pizza is just like Takuyaki Balls in pizza shape. Overall I enjoyed the food.
The Venue
I personally do not like the venue. The location is good, but the venue is terribly small and not a comfortable place to dine. They have a second floor, that you have to climb the narrow spiral stairs to get there. Basically it is not a recommended place for families to go to, or take someone on a date.

Price/Value For Money
For the two dishes we ordered, without drinks, we spent Php365.00. Food is nice but I think the price is a little high.
