    I honestly love this restaurant. It's not the best for big groups, but for a small group of 5, the restaurant is rather cozy. It serves wine and great cajun cuisine. I personally enjoyed their blackened chicken and dory jambalayas. Lovely yummy treats. If you're searching for spicy cajun and you're in the area, I'd suggest you visit this place.

    The price is not so bad either. It's not overly expensive. True value for money.

    Master burger that is. When one of my Japanese friends spoke to me of a Japanese restaurant that serves burgers the Japanese way, I just had to try it. And true enough, the whopping Master Burger immediately moved me to submission.

    The shop specializes in burgers and fries. The fries are great, crisp and thick without being oily nor too salty. If you add their yummy master sauce in it, you'd get to enjoy their Master Fries. Their Master burger is a "sloppy-joe"-esque burger, practically one of the best burgers in town.

    But their burgers aren't bound by the usual round of beef. They also have Japanese rice burgers served either with Yakiniku beef or with Kimpira (Kimpira is a dish served with vegetables and 'gobou', a burdock root). Recently, I tried other burgers such as their Teriyaki burger with tartar sauce. Who knew Japanese tartar sauce has eggs in it! They also have fish burgers and chicken burgers available for people.

    As for drinks, other than the staple soft drinks, they also serve Calpis, yummy shakes, and cold green tea.

    Yes, as you can see, I love the place that I know their menu by heart. But that's just half of it. It is a small restaurant but has the atmosphere of a bustling family restaurant. The waitresses greet you with a warm "Irraishaimase."And if you're with the kids, tenchou (the manager) might even give or teach your kids an origami or two. You know it's the real deal because Japanese nationals staying in Manila frequent this place. Maybe because they feel home when they're at Sango. Then again even non-Japanese like me enjoy this place and consider this as a 'tambayan'. It's got great burgers, yummy drinks, lovely people, and, well for me, Japanese comics. What more can I ask for?

    More than just a place for burgers, Sango brings a taste and feel of a more westernized Japan for those are curious.

    Need I say that they've also upgraded their toilets to the famed Japanese high-tech toilets? :3
