Comment: Let’s go Filipinossss!! Proud Fil-am here 👋🏼 hi. Wow, amazing. Me and my friend were so excited to experience and elevated Filipino spot and we were it disappointed! Service was fantastic the moment you walked in, took our coats, sat us down and ordered us drinks right away. The Calamansi sour and the Manila old fashioned were on point, well-made, not watered down, not too sweet, not too sour… you get it, it was perfect.Each dish transported me back home to when my Lola cooked me dinner when I visited her or to when my mom made me that bowl of Sinigang. And then there was the dishes of nigiri 🍣 that placed new memories of the present moment. The owner was not there, and I wish she was bc I heard she’s hilarious!! But the one that was there that replaced her for the evening, I felt like maybe she should have known more about the dishes in a way of what inspired the chef to replace traditional flavors with another.All in all, loved the show of it all with golden spray and the surprise takeout (mouthwatering garlic rice and juicy crispy lechon).If you love omakase and looking for nuance flavors, highly recommend.

Comment: Chef Tariga brings her own fun and unique style to omakase, serving up elevated cuisine but in a more casual and interactive experience. Smiles and laughs were around the entire counter all night. Every bite was a delight, but the hotate with foie gras and truffle was the real triumph of the evening. Highly recommend!

Comment: This upscale Filipino Japanese omakase fusion restaurant is truly something different. The very talented Morimoto sushi season 1 champion chef Frances takes you on her culinary journey. She puts a twist on some traditional Filipino cuisines which makes the experience something to remember. Each of the 16 courses are well prepared and thoughtful. This was not a simple restaurant for dinner. It is a culinary experience in which each and every bite had flavors and textures that are unmatched. I highly recommend! A+

Comment: Such a memorable experience! I was constantly wondering how Chef Frances transformed the ingredients on the menu to the dish in front of me, which is a testament to the creativity and execution here. It is more like a kaiseki than omakase. Aside from the delicious meal, the team and chef were awesome in their interactions with everyone. I definitely plan on returning.

Comment: This was such a magical birthday experience!!! There are only 8 lucky individuals for each seating at a bar and chef Frances treats everyone like family. The atmosphere is fun and festive and the food could not be better! We have sampled tasting menus all around the world. This was the first time that every single bite was sheer perfection! When the chef asked me my favorite course I couldn’t decide because I loved them all equally. I also recommend the delicious Manila old fashioned. I am already planning this again for my birthday next year but I doubt I can wait that long. Thanks so much for such a wonderful celebration!!!

Comment: I really enjoyed the food at trust bae and Chef Frances is so personable and made the experience very communal. My only feedback is that the dishes came out way too fast, especially the first few dishes. I barely had time to eat them before we moved to the next course and couldnt appreciate the complex flavors. If Im doing omakase at this price point Id really like more time to take everything in and appreciate the dishes instead of wolfing everything down.

Comment: Don’t even hesitate and book your reservation ASAP, because this 16 course omakase was the best experience I ever had. Chef frances is brilliant in her culinary skills and knowledge of filipino and Japanese cuisine. Every course was delicious and filled with flavor. And the cocktails were equally as delicious. The calamansi cocktail and princess pia was my favorite, but you won’t go wrong with anything else. Other than the food, Chef frances as well as her sous chef Clark & the rest of the staff, are undoubtedly kind, down to the earth, and funny. The music was A+ too! My friends and I had a fabulous time, and this is an experience i will highly recommend to my friends, family, and anyone looking to do a unique omakase experience!

Comment: The omakase is amazing. Each course from Chef Frances was packed with flavor. Her creativity, technique, and flavors are crazy good. It’s hard to pick a favorite because all the courses are all uniquely memorable. Watching Chef Frances and Chef Clark creating these dishes was a treat. Chef Frances engaged and entertained the guests with story and made everyone feel liked family or good friends. Trust Bae is a great choice to celebrate a special occasion or to enjoy a great dinner out.

Comment: This was an absolutely amazing and unique omakase experience! Chef Frances and chef Clark as well as their wait staff were so pleasant and on point. The food and drinks were all delicious. I loved their spin on traditional Filipino food that I grew up eating, transformed into bite sized omakase style dishes. Their presentation was so innovative and fun! My husband and I have tried several traditional Japanese omakase restaurants, and we thoroughly enjoyed this unique experience at Trust Bae.

Comment: A really great experience with such a good menu. The vibes are immaculate and the 16 courses get richer as you go on. It’s no wonder this place is constantly booked so early on. Each course is great on its own but also in relation to each other. It’s also really well paced timing wise. I would highly recommend.The only thing is that the red neon light does make it hard to take accurate photos of the food but that doesn’t detract from it at all.
