Ikinari Steak in Pasay: Wild Steaks and Combos for Your Japanese Food Cravings

Famous Japanese steak chain Ikinari Steak opened its first Philippine branch, which is also the first in Southeast Asia, in December 2022. Let’s check out what they’ve got!

Ikinari, which means “suddenly,” aims to serve you steak ASAP when you crave some. Thanks to its casual approach to steak and dining as compared to upscale restaurants, the brand became an instant hit for busy Japanese salarymen who want their meats in a fun and easy way.
