Botejyu Authentic Japanese Cuisine is the place when you're craving for ramen, sashimi and many more Japanese specialty dishes with its extensive menu. Simply find your table and indulge in all your favorite Japanese dishes. Satisfying your Japanese cravings shouldn't be complicated, and Botejyu makes it easy and convenient for you (for more on Botejyu Authentic Japanese Cuisine, see my post, All You Want In One Place, At Botejyu... on my first time from three years ago). 

Located at the third level of The Mega Atrium, Botejyu Authentic Japanese Cuisine offers a wide selection of specialty Japanese dishes from Sushi and Sashimi to their bestselling Okonomiyaki, Takoyaki, Ramen and Teppan dishes. For over seventy-six years, Botejyu Authentic Japanese Cuisine has been serving traditional dishes that made it a popular household name back in Japan. And here's an interesting fact: the establishment's name is inspired by the sound of the okonomiyaki being flipped ("bote) and the sizzling sound ("jyu") while cooking on the teppan griddle. This little-known story behind its origins also reflects the brand's legacy. Botejyu was the first to introduce mayonnaise to flavor their signature okonomiyaki along with the concept of okosaba or modern yaki. 

Serving real and traditional flavors since 1946, you can experience all the rich flavors of Japan at Botejyu Authentic Japanese Cuisine. Take your palate on a culinary tour of Japan with their bestselling starters...

...beginning with the refreshing Botejyu Special Salad (P 210 Regular/P 395 Large). The fresh medley of crisp greens topped with egg, tomatoes and crunchy strips bring both texture and flavor to the palate with each bite...

...while the Bacon and Cream Cheese Spring Roll (P 175-3 pcs/P 335-6 pcs) offers a rich fusion of western flavors for a unique experience. 

One bite is announced by an audible crunch followed by the sharp savory notes of bacon mellowed by the creamy and silky smooth cream cheese for textural and flavor contrasts. It's inventive dishes like this that make dining at Botejyu Authentic Japanese Cuisine both different and special. If you enjoyed the Bacon and Cream Cheese Spring Roll, you may want to try their Pizza Toasts and Special Buns. 

The aptly named All-Star Takoyaki (P 255) is a stellar cast featuring their bestselling signature takoyaki creations in one platter including the Original Sauce, Mayo, Umami Sauce, Spicy Tartar Sauce, Smoked Bacon and Cheese variants. Where to start? That's all part of the fun at Botejyu. 

Each variant brings its own distinct flavors to the palate while maintaining the takoyaki tradition. It's the perfect introduction to Botejyu's culinary style updated with contemporary infusions. And once you start, you just can't stop. But save room for the other specialties of Botejyu... 

...like the Teppan Grilled Pork Gyoza (P 210-5pcs/P 400-10 pcs) with its distinctive shape. The elongated shape differentiates Botejyu's take on the dumpling, but the flavors are all there. From the soft and chewy texture contrasting with the seared crispness of the bottom and the juicy seasoned pork filling, one bite delivers all the comfortingly familiar flavors you love in a traditional gyoza. 

The Pork Soba Belly Yakisoba Fried Noodles (P 325) is another comforting option at Botejyu with soft yet firm noodles draped in a savory and mildly sweet sauce. The slabs of pork belly and vegetables completes the flavors of the dish. 

The Seafood Mix Okonomiyaki (P 420) topped with a thick and sweet sauce and silky smooth mayo is of the must-try dishes at Botejyu. After all, it's one of the specialties that made the brand a household name since 1946. The rich sauce and mayo combine for bold flavors complementing the mild briny sweetness of the seafood. And it's quite filling too. 

Craving for a bowl of noods? Botejyu has that covered too. You can also find authentic Ramen at Botejyu...

Soft yet springy noods draped in a thick and creamy broth topped with slabs of savory pork, nothing beats a hot bowl of ramen on a cloudy day. Or any day really. The classic Pork Tonkotsu Ramen with Char Siu Pork (P 485) at Botejyu is just what you need to make your day so much better. The subtle smoky hints from the charred slabs of char siu pork completes the flavors with a layer of savory richness.

A meal in itself, there's just nothing quite like a hearty bowl of ramen making even the cloudiest of days special. And you'll find that perfect bowl here at Botejyu. 

Other ramen options include the Spicy Pork Tonkotsu Ramen with Char Siu Pork (P 525) if you prefer some soothing heat and Pork Miso Tonkotsu Ramen with Char Siu Pork (P 485) with its nutty and mildly salty notes.

It's the extensive menu at Botejyu anchored by their specialty dishes that addresses all your cravings in one spot without the fear of missing out on any of the popular Japanese staples. And there's more... 

The Original Chicken Karaage (P 255 Regular/P 485 Large) offers that delectable crunch and palate-pleasing rich juicy notes that will have you going for another piece. Perfectly seasoned, a fresh squeeze of lemon is all you need to bring out all the flavors. 

No Japanese feast is complete without some sushi or rolls, and the California Roll (P 255) by Botejyu adds fresh flavors to your Japanese feast. Contrasting textures tease the palate followed by a burst of briny sweetness... 

...while the Special Assorted Sashimi with 5 Kinds of Seafood (P 675) with fresh tuna, sweet salmon, succulent scallops, plump ebi and kani is just pure seafood love. The quality and freshness of the day's catch brings clean and real flavors adding to your list of must-try dishes at Botejyu.

Sashimi, sushi, ramen, okonomiyaki and takoyaki, that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the specialty dishes of Botejyu.

Cap your feast on a sweet note with the Kobe Warachimochi (P 210), a soft jelly-like dessert to round out your experience at Botejyu.
