Jitaku Japanese Restaurant, Marcian Garden Hotel, Zamboanga City

We are always looking for a new place to eat at whenever we visit Zamboanga and this time around, we spotted this restaurant from across our workshop room at the Marcian Hotel. Before we headed to our hotels after the workshop, I decided to check out their menu and saw a lot of familiar items you'd expect from a Japanese restaurant. Seafood is excellent in Zamboanga so you can assume that a resto located at a quality hotel will have the ingredients for good sushi, sashimi or tempura.

We were not disappointed when we had dinner there. The staff were friendly and attentive. The servings were very generous and the seafood very fresh (we had sashimi and sushi). This was a nice find for us who had not gone to a Japanese themed restaurant in Zamboanga.

 

Seafood curry

Yakisoba or Japanese fried noodles

Maguro (tuna) sushi

Tempura

Chicken katsu curry

The place seems to be popular for meetings and for dates. We saw examples of these at the tables around ours when we had dinner there. Price-wise, we though that their prices were very reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food they served us. This is definitely a restaurant to include whenever you're craving for Japanese food or tried and tested dishes in Zamboanga.
