Suzu Kin

Tucked away in the bustling heart of Makati, Suzu Kin is more than just another Japanese restaurant; it's a culinary treasure that embodies the spirit of authentic home-cooked meals. The establishment, a modest yet inviting nook, beckons with its promise of traditional flavors and a warm atmosphere that feels like a second home. With the owners hailing from Japan, each dish resonates with authenticity, from the rich Sukiyaki to the comforting embrace of Katsudon. Patrons rave about the gyoza and yaki soba, but it’s the spicy tuna salad that keeps diners returning for more, each bite infused with nostalgia and hearty warmth. While some may note its aging decor or occasional mosquito visitor, these quirks only add character to this hidden gem. The affordability of their offerings—often between 150 to 300 php—makes authentic Japanese cuisine accessible without compromising quality. Here, you’re invited to savor not just food but stories shared over steaming bowls of miso soup and generous plates designed for sharing, embodying a slice of Japan right in the middle of urban Manila.
