Rai Rai Ken - Santa Cruz

Food here is actually great, a value for money. Place was quite small with few tables. Since not so many people eat here,we decided to dine. Service is very bad. they served the food one by one even though we ordered the food as a family style. Since I'm not used to use a chopstick, I had to ask for a silverware, it's very hard to get the attention of the wait staff, not attentive. We have to ask for water, condiments etc. After eating we stayed for a few minutes observing new guest arrived. What surprises me is that they served them differently. Menu was given right away, glass filled with water on the table, silverware was given, extra plate was provided. Conclusion: wait staff service is according to their mood!Tip: When you order tell everything you want so you don't bother them again including bill OR GO TO THE NEXT RESTAURANT!

Had our lunch here, we opted to dine because it's not crowded unlike fastfood stores theres. Totally nothing special. Have no plan of coming back.

Love the udon noodles used in many soup bases on the menu, try the tempura basket, lots of sea food, also great vegetable dishes, staff always friendly just make sure you repeat the order

Op het eerste zicht lijkt Rai Ken uitnodigend, maar het verhulde vlees is enorm vettig en de porties onnoemelijk klein terwijl je toch de prijs van een middenklasserestaurant in de regio neertelt. Geen plaats om terug te keren...

Rai Rai Ken the first Japanese place I visit in the Philippines ( 2002) and I wanted to see if they had been able to keep the good standard had my doubts but I must say I was wrong, even if the prices are a little high its well worth it big portions and good service.
