Like the other Karayama branches in the Philippines, the One Ayala branch has wooden accents, from the paneling on the walls to the furniture that lend a natural vibe, while the spacious dining space makes for a comfortable dining experience. The soft lighting highlights the clean lines and minimalist design, complemented by the Japanese restaurant’s logo on one of the main walls.<\/p>\n
