Kiwami Philippines Menu Prices 2026
Before you head out for a Japanese food crawl in one sitting, it’s worth checking Kiwami Philippines menu prices, since this isn’t a single restaurant but a food hall housing several specialist Japanese kitchens under one roof and pricing varies depending on which brand’s menu you’re ordering from.
Kiwami, developed by The Standard Group, brings together several established Japanese specialty restaurants Yabu for katsu, Ippudo for ramen, Hannosuke for tempura tendon, Hachibei for yakitori, and Koyo for sushi into a single, consolidated dining space. Instead of picking one restaurant and one cuisine style, guests order from a shared menu and can mix a ramen bowl with a katsu set and a few yakitori skewers all in the same sitting.

|---|---|
| Shoyu Tonkotsu | ₱499 |
| Tokusei Tantanmen | ₱520–₱550 |
Yabu Katsu
| Menu Item | Price | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Rosu Katsu Set | ₱315 | 80g |

| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|

Sushi and Small Plates (Koyo, Ippudo, Yabu)
| Menu Item | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Ippudo Pork Bun | Budget-tier item, under ₱300 |
| Torched Salmon Roll | Premium-tier item, up to ₱1,000 |
| Yabu Mozzarella Katsu Sticks | Shareable, mid-range |
| Asparagus Buta Bara Roll | Shareable, mid-range |
Overall, individual dishes across Kiwami’s brands generally fall between ₱500 and ₱1,000 per order, spanning budget items like pork buns to premium picks like torched salmon rolls. Since Kiwami operates as one shared menu across five different kitchens, prices, portion sizes, and even item availability can vary slightly by branch (BGC, Alabang Town Center, SM Mall of Asia), so it’s worth checking the specific branch’s current menu before finalizing a big group order.
About Kiwami Philippines
Kiwami is the food hall concept from The Standard Group, the same company behind bringing Yabu and Ippudo to the Philippines individually before combining them into this multi-brand format. It first opened in Bonifacio Global City in 2021, consolidating what were previously separate restaurant queues into one seated space with a single, shared ordering system guests can order from Yabu’s katsu menu and Ippudo’s ramen menu at the same table without needing to visit each stall separately.
Each kitchen inside Kiwami is run by its own specialist chef lineage: Yabu’s katsu draws from Michelin Bib Gourmand chef Kazuya Takeda, Ippudo’s ramen from founder Shigemi Kawahara’s Hakata-style tonkotsu tradition, Hachibei’s yakitori from Katsunori Yashima’s binchotan-grilled technique, and Hannosuke’s tempura tendon from its original Tokyo shop. The brand has since expanded beyond its original BGC location to Alabang Town Center and SM Mall of Asia.
Popular Items To Try
- Ippudo Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen – the brand’s signature tonkotsu broth seasoned with shoyu dashi, made with broth imported from Japan
- Yabu Rosu Katsu Set – tender pork loin cutlet with a light, crisp batter, served with the standard katsu-set sides
- Hannosuke Ebi Tempura – fresh, crispy shrimp tempura frequently singled out by repeat visitors as a highlight
- Hachibei Buta Bara Yakitori – charcoal-grilled pork belly skewers cooked over binchotan charcoal
- Koyo Hand Roll Set – a set of assorted hand rolls meant to be eaten immediately after assembly, following a specific folding technique
- Yabu Mozzarella Katsu Sticks – a shareable appetizer pairing crispy breading with melted cheese and spicy aioli
Deals, Promos, and Discounts
There’s no single, standing discount confirmed across all Kiwami branches at the moment. Since the food hall periodically introduces new dishes by season (such as Yabu’s Tornado Omelette Curry or Hannosuke’s Cold Soba), it’s best to check Kiwami’s official Instagram (@kiwami.ph) or Facebook page for whatever’s currently featured or promoted.
Price and Value for Money
Kiwami sits in the mid-to-upper range for casual Japanese dining in Metro Manila, with most dishes landing between ₱500 and ₱1,000. That’s noticeably more than a single specialty ramen or katsu shop would typically charge on its own, but the trade-off is being able to order across five different specialist kitchens in one visit rather than committing to just one cuisine style for the meal.
What Regulars Order
The pattern across reviews is fairly consistent: diners tend to anchor their order around one dish from each kitchen rather than filling up on just one brand’s menu, which seems to be exactly the behavior Kiwami’s shared-table concept was designed to encourage. Yabu’s Rosu Katsu and Mozzarella Katsu Sticks come up often as reliable picks, while Hannosuke’s tempura particularly the ebi (shrimp) gets singled out repeatedly as the item worth returning specifically for.
Service speed is another recurring theme in feedback, with reviewers noting wait times under ten minutes even during busier hours, which is notable given that orders are being routed to five separate kitchens behind the scenes. The one consistent critique across reviews is that side dishes, such as the cabbage salad typically included with katsu sets elsewhere, aren’t refillable at Kiwami a minor but repeated point among diners used to unlimited sides at standalone katsu restaurants.
Dining Experience and Service
Kiwami operates as a single, seated restaurant rather than a typical self-service food court orders from all five kitchens are placed and delivered directly to your table, so there’s no need to line up separately at each stall. The format works well for group dining, since a table can order a spread across ramen, katsu, yakitori, tempura, and sushi in one sitting. Dessert is available via the attached Hokkaido Soft Cream stall, rounding out the meal.
