Yakimix Sushi-Smokeless Grill-Restaurant


Erick and I had the chance to eat at Yakimix last weekend. We’ve been hearing raves about how great their food is. We wanted to eat there for the longest time but every time we decide to eat there, the place is always packed and we have to wait to be seated.

Last Saturday, after we bought our LFS movie tickets for Thor, we decided to try the much-buzzed Yakimix. It was only 7:30 pm and the movie won’t start until 11:15pm. We literally have three whole hours to spare! We had our names listed on waiting list. We were #25 on the list so we strolled in Greenbelt and Landmark to check on something. When we came back at 8:30pm, we learned that our names were already called. They’ve given our table to the next customer. Fine, we just had our names our listed again! Fortunately, we were called in less than 20 minutes. That was fast!

Yakimix is a sushi-smokeless grill restaurant that offers buffet lunch and dinner. It’s mainly a Japanese restaurant but they also serve a wide selection of dishes.  

It's the mix, it's Yakimix!

What really is unique with Yakimix is that you can grill your food at your own table. So you have the freedom to cook it according to your preference.

Now grilling
We had fun grilling our own food and we can’t get enough of the seafood. But I really craved for the meat and chicken. They were cut in small portions and were bite-sized, so you get to taste all of them without getting full quickly – which is the ultimate goal of eating in a buffet resto. I loved the black pepper chicken, spicy bacon, roll fat beef, and US fat beef in black pepper. I indulged in an all-meat buffet. I love cold cuts and having all these meat selection is the next best thing. I am definitely a meatarian. The grilled seafood was great too. Erick enjoyed grilling and eating of course the shrimp, squid barbecue, crabstick, bangus, salmon belly…What a feast!

What's cooking?
As a Japanese resto, they had a buffet table solely for sushi. I am not fond of eating sushi but tried tuna sashimi anyway. It took me almost five minutes to chew it . I had to focus eating it or else I might throw up.

Other dishes from Yakimix are worth mentioning as well such as the Korean japchae (chapchae), shrimp tempura, lechon macau, etc.

We didn't try their salads because we aren’t really into salads, besides we wanted to make the most of our buffet experience so we skipped it. 

For dessert, we just devoured on the ice cream with lots of toppings on it and then tried their home-made chocolate desserts. Nothing really impressive but that was okay since we are too full already.

Overall, our Yakimix buffet experience was superb! We will definitely come back. For its price and quality of food, it’s worth to try not just once.

*We weren’t able to take photos of the actual buffet table because it was not allowed (so we heard). Besides, we were too excited to eat!
