MANILA, Philippines —From its hole-in-the-wall beginnings in Makati, serving tempura by the piece, to breaking ground to seven branches across and beyond Metro Manila, homegrown Japanese comfort food restaurant Ebi10 officially reopens its Eastwood location with a fresh look and new menu offerings. Making this all the more celebrated, a teppanyaki wing is added to the establishment, making it the first branch in the city to offer this.
Welcoming Eastwood residents, office workers, and passersby to its home, the new Ebi10 space serves up hearty Japanese dishes meant to turn every meal into a celebration. Packed with flavor and filled to the brim, each item in the menu features classic Japanese favorites made for the Filipino palette.

Apart from its signature tempura offerings that built its foundation to its patrons, the restaurant now serves up beloved fusion sushi rolls, including Crazy Maki and Salmon Aburi Roll, and plates for sharing, like Bacon Yakisoba, Kani Salad and Crispy Torikatsu. Menu tweaks also include the Ramen Overload of housemade noodles packed along with all your ramen toppings, Banana Tempura Split, along with mocktails like the Kyuri Mint Fizz and Mango Fizz.
Unique to its Eastwood spot is the teppanyaki room. First launched in its out-of-town locations in Nuvali and Angeles, Ebi10 now brings its flame-grilled specials to the metro with the expanded Eastwood branch. These include meats like Seared A5 Hida Wagyu and Prime Ribeye, seafood like Shira Ebi Shrimp and Aklan Oysters, and fried rice options. Families and friends alike can enjoy dishes straight from the iron plate a la carte, in group sets good for 6, or even as individual surf and turf meals.

The refreshed space features Ebi10’s rebranded look, boasting of clean Japandi-inspired interiors mixed in with colorful noren patterns. Just like other recently opened spots, Ebi10 Eastwood caters to intimate celebrations with its private function room that seats up to 20 people. Offices and teams can also opt to hold their offsite meetings at Ebi10, as the branch provides a projector and screen for use.
With the office crowd in mind, Ebi10 Eastwood delivers a filling lunch bento menu, allowing diners to select their favorite fares – beef yakiniku, ebi tempura, chicken karaage or tonkatsu, among others – to go along with miso soup, grilled vegetables, sushi rolls, a side salad, furikake rice and a glass of calamansi juice. After work, customers can wait out the traffic at Ebi10’s Happy Hour, when they can celebrate making it to the end of a long day with the restaurant’s signature cocktails. Young professionals and barkadas alike can also look forward to upcoming DJ schedules to be launched at the space soon.

To mark and join in the celebration, Ebi10 will be offering discounts at its Eastwood branch. From July 28-August 1, its entire selection of donburis will be at 50% off, so diners can share their favorite rice bowls, like bestselling Garlic Steak Donburi, the classic Katsudon, the overloaded Tempuradon or the unique Enoki Niku Don.
