Maisen in Glorietta

For a premium Japanese dining experience that doesn't compromise on speed, Maisen at the Food Choices on Level 3 of Glorietta 4 is a top-tier destination. Famous for its legendary katsu, this stall provides a more accessible way to enjoy world-class tonkatsu while navigating the busy Makati shopping district. It is the perfect spot for office workers on a lunch break or shoppers looking for a high-quality, protein-rich meal that feels much more refined than typical food court fare.

The hallmark of this establishment is its "tender enough to cut with a chopstick" philosophy, utilizing specialized techniques to ensure every piece of meat is incredibly soft and succulent. What sets Maisen apart is the variety of its offerings, ranging from their luxury Kurobuta line to budget-friendly rice bowls and savory Japanese curries. This balance of premium quality and casual convenience makes it a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic taste of Tokyo without needing a formal sit-down reservation.

The menu highlights include the prestigious Kurobuta Tenderloin Katsu and the hearty Tenderloin Katsu Curry, both of which showcase the brand’s mastery of breading and frying. For those who prefer a classic rice bowl, the Loin Katsu Don offers a comforting blend of savory dashi and egg. To complete your meal, don't miss their refreshing Calamansi with Grenadine Iced Tea, which provides the perfect citrusy contrast to the rich, golden-fried cutlets.
