My appetite isn’t choosy when it comes to the time of day. I
can eat a lunch-like merienda even if
I just ate lunch an hour or two ago, so oftentimes, I find myself in Tokyo Café
for a full feast during office snack time. Serving a varied selection of Japanese
favorites and Western dishes, Tokyo Café in McKinley Hill is at the heart of
the Venice Piazza, presenting itself to hungry diners from nearby workplaces.

The cool, elegant space occupied by Tokyo Café is tucked on
the corner of Piazza adjacent to Amici and across Old Vine. Visible from all the entry points of
Piazza, it is surely hard to miss. Seeing the seductive display of the best
items from their menu from the glass wall, one would have a hard time saying no
to trying it out. Tokyo Café serves everything from soups and salads, pasta
dishes, burgers, pizza, sandwiches, and rice meals, to a huge assortment of
desserts and beverages. Some of the food choices are a fusion of Japanese and
Western Cuisine, like the Japanese
Carbonara.

It may be wise to go with a big group of friends so you can
sample more dishes. Order some pasta and a pizza to share—I recommend the Garlic and Shrimp Pasta for lovers of
spicy food and the simple but tasty Margherita
Pizza (tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, thin crust), which I have been unable to photograph in the many times I've eaten here for it always vanished quickly. Try the Tokyo Boneless Chicken, which is
deliciously infused with herbs and comes with their special gravy. You can’t go
wrong with their crispy Fried Chicken
as well, which can be availed in three, five, or seven pieces with a side of
French fries. Treat yourself to your favorite Japanese fare like the Pork Shogayaki and the Wafu steak. Save some room for dessert
and indulge on some of their parfait
and crepe selections.

It’s very rare for a café-type restaurant to have quality food,
although admittedly Tokyo Café borders a little onto the pricey side. In spite of
the price range though (P200-P300/meal), diners are sure to get satisfaction
from their delicious and innovative dishes. They have branches in SM malls like
Mall of Asia, Megamall, The Block, and Southmall as well, so plan your visit on
one of these days. A must-try for all enthusiasts of café food out there!
