East Cafe - Omaha

Eaten at east cafe before in glorietta in rustans several times. This one here in rustans at Shang ri la mall Edsa not quite as good. I’ve had the ramen and pad Thai before here, both were decent. I had the tonkatsu... yeah, edible but should be a whole lot better...as in not tasting dry and processed or fresh out of the microwave. I mean if this were a tinder profile, pretty sure you’d be swiping left... unless you were really ‘hungry’. Okay food, decent service... but pass on the katsu, IMO .

Hidden inside Rustan’s department store, East Cafe offers different Asian cuisines. Only a few people might know this place as there are only two tables occupied during lunch. We got the Kani Salad for appetizer and to be honest, this is the best one we ordered. I actually wanted to get a second serving because I enjoyed it so much. But the rest of the dishes were mostly bland. Even the peanut sauce of the chicken satay wasn’t enough.

Had a good coffee and kani salad here. Americano is full bodied and good. The Kani Salad was good too with cucumber, carrot and lettuce with shredded crab stick on top in a light vinegar based dressing. Just right for a healthy snack in the midst of shopping.

Another hideaway restaurant that's in a middle of rustans.. I like this quiet place after a long day of shopping. The food is nice, very healthy but a bit pricey..

My little secret gem in Shang Mall. Few people know about it which is great because it's always quiet. Good for relaxed business meetings and/or hanging out. we ordered: Tuna salpicao Softshell avocado roll Appetizer platter (gyoza, quesadillas, spring rolls) Shrimp Tempura Salmon skewers Salmon roll (with cheese) Grilled pork salad We paid P3600 for 7 people (already incl drinks, coffee, etc) The portions are good to share, but not if you're matakaw. The service is terrific.
