Yabu’s continued success may be largely attributed to their unwavering consistency. Yabu has used only the finest ingredients in its Katsu meals for over a decade. To ensure their Katsu meals always have the classic, heaven-sent flavor that keeps customers coming back, Yabu always sticks to the original recipe.
In addition, Yabu offers its delectable Katsu meals with unlimited portions of their famous Koshihikari Rice, which complements the flavorful mix of the Katsu and sauces wonderfully.
Yabu Best Sellers
Where can we even begin with all the delicious Katsu options at Yabu?
Let’s start with Yabu’s two most beloved meals: the Rosu and Hire Katsu Sets.
These two Tonkatsus are Yabu’s most popular items, and they include thick and meaty pork cutlets that have been breaded in fresh panko and fried till golden brown. Hire is a lean pork cutlet, whereas Rosu has had quite a bit of fat trimmed off to enhance the flavor, but that’s the only difference between the two. All you need is some Yabu’s Koshihikari White Rice, some shredded cabbage, some miso soup, and some of their divine Tonkatsu Sauce, and you’ll be set for the day.
In addition to Yabu’s famous Tonkatsu Sets, we recommend trying one of their other Katsu Sets, such as the Chicken, Salmon, Prawn, or Menchi.
It’s worth your time to sample some of Yabu’s many appetizers, including the Agedashi Tofu, cold appetizers, and the restaurant’s signature dish, the Mozzarella Katsu Sticks.
The Oyakodon is another Japanese staple that is available in Yabu. The chicken and eggs on top of the rice make for a delicious meal. Choose from Yabu’s Traditional Oyakodon or their Signature Oyakodon, which comes with Chicken Katsu and an egg.

What is the Yabu Sauce?
You’ll be given a bowl of sesame seeds to crush to unleash their aroma as you wait for your food. This gives customers something to do while they wait and keeps the katsu sauce tasting its best. You should follow the grinding process with two or three generous scoops of their specialty tonkatsu sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the unlimited sides at Yabu?
Yes, Yabu has unlimited sides in their Katsu Sets. These refillable sides include shredded cabbage, fruit slices, miso soup, and the special katsu sauce. Remember that not all dishes have these unlimited sides, as it’s usually offered in certain Katsu Sets.
Is there a proper way to make my tonkatsu sauce?
The bowl has ridges inside, so make sure not to pound the sesame seeds with the pestle but to move and grind it down firmly. Make sure to use your chopsticks instead of the pestle to mix the sauce and the sesame seeds.
About Yabu in the Philippines
John Concepcion and his partners, katsu chef Kazuya Takeda, head chef of Tokyo’s Tonkatsu Takeshin, and restaurateur Teiji Nakamura, came up with the idea for Yabu.
The Yabu menu concept as the first dish-specific katsu restaurant in Manila came to the restaurant’s creator, John Concepcion, in 2006 while he was seated in a little Katsu restaurant beneath a railway station in Japan. In 2011, Yabu debuted its first restaurant in SM Megamall, quickly becoming a popular spot. Within the subsequent three months, they opened a second location. By July 2014, Yabu had become the most popular katsu restaurant in the country, having sold its millionth katsu.
