Manila,  being the capital of The Philippines, is a modern mega city made up of six smaller cities and 12 towns. It is both historic and artistic. It is rich and poor. It is modern and archaic.

One extremely popular place is the walled area of Intramuros. Dating back to Spanish Colonial times, it is historic and ancient. It is living history!

The restaurant appears spacious with good lighting. Most seem to think that the menu is slightly limited,  but the food is excellent. Ramen and Sashimi seem to be house favorites. Most feel the service to be excellent.
