Looking for a Japanese dining experience that goes beyond the usual sushi and ramen? Saigosan - Uptown Mall brings a colorful and playful take on Japanese dining to Uptown Mall in Bonifacio Global City, combining Japanese-inspired comfort food with an eye-catching Tokyo-themed atmosphere.
Step Into a Tokyo-Inspired Dining Space
One of Saigosan's biggest attractions is its distinctive interior. Instead of the minimalist look often associated with Japanese restaurants, the space features neon lights, colorful décor, anime-inspired details, and train-themed seating designed to give diners the feeling of stepping into a lively Japanese street or commuter train. The train-inspired booths are particularly memorable, making the restaurant more than just a place to eat—it becomes part of the overall dining experience.
Japanese Comfort Food With a Creative Twist
Saigosan takes a modern approach to Japanese cuisine, offering Japanese-Western fusion dishes alongside familiar favorites. Its menu includes rice bowls, noodles, sushi, fried chicken, burgers, and other comfort food options. Among the dishes that have been featured are the Buta Kakuni Don, Grilled Yakiniku Don, Ebi Tempura, and Mini Volcano Rolls. The restaurant also puts its own spin on ramen with dishes such as its Fried Chicken Ramen, which pairs crispy chicken with miso-paitan broth.
A Food Trip for the Adventurous
For diners who enjoy trying something different, Saigosan's fusion approach offers plenty to explore. The restaurant has also featured more unconventional creations such as Gyoza-Stuffed Wings, Truffle Wagyu Steak Macaroni, and Miso Butter Lobster, blending Japanese flavors with international influences. This makes the restaurant particularly interesting for groups with different tastes, since diners can choose from familiar Japanese dishes or venture into more creative combinations.
