Paying Soru Izakaya at Burgos Circle a visit!
Already on its second branch, Soru Izakaya is one of the must-visit Japanese pubs in BGC. It's a place that's perfect for barkadas, after-work hangouts with officemates, and even families looking to try something new.
It was perfect timing when Zomato invited me for a foodie meet-up here, since it was also the week that I was staying at BGC! Normally, BGC would be a two-hour drive from my house, but that afternoon, all it took was a fifteen-minute walk. I walked to Burgos Circle (and saved so much time), guys!! I love BGC!
Visually, Soru Izakaya was inspired by the whimsical art style of bishoujo (pretty girl) manga, traditional Japanese art, the wild and colorful Tokyo night life, and the new wave of speakeasy cocktail bars. Soru Izakaya brings forth the taste of the new Nippon, a modern after-work gastropub, imbued with a traditional menu of our favorite Japanese eats, with a dash of contemporary flavor.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to taste most of the dishes they served us that day (this wasn't even everything) but I am planning to return soon to try out more of their offerings. Soru Izakaya is one modern Japanese restaurant you have to visit, especially if you're sick of the usual sashimi and maki rolls and what not. Check them out soon, yeah?
