Hikiniku To Come Uptown Mall

Finally got to try this place after seeing so much hype online 😅 Honestly… sakto lang for me. The hamburg patties are good naman — juicy and cooked nicely — pero not mind-blowing. It really tastes like your typical burger patty. I was kinda expecting a stronger beefy flavor, but mas nangingibabaw yung juiciness niya. Hindi siya bad ah, just not super wow. Medyo nagka-issue lang kami sa seating. We were a group of 6 (including my LO), and we simply requested to be seated next to each other. Simple request lang sana, but parang the staff handling the waiting list got a bit confused sa setup namin 🤔 Not sure if it was just the dinner rush or what, but medyo nakakalito yung naging flow. Overall, okay naman the experience. Food is decent, fun to try at least once, but manage expectations lang especially if you’ve seen the hype online. 👍

Weekday lunch required a reservation a full week in advance. Walk-ins were basically impossible. That reservation hassle is the only real downside. Once we arrived, service was efficient and smooth. We were immediately ushered in, assisted with payment, and guided to our seats—no waiting, no confusion. The food is on another level. You get three rounds of incredibly soft beef patties, each meant to be eaten differently—your way or following their recommendations. Unlimited rice, egg included, and free sides like kimchi. Simple setup, zero gimmicks. The patties are exceptional. Texture, flavor, juiciness—everything is dialed in. Easily the best patties I’ve ever had. Worth the planning. Just be ready to book ahead.

It was my first time trying Hikiniku to Come, although I’ve already tried eating Japanese-style hamburg before. Hikiniku only has one order option, which includes three hamburger patties served with several sauce options, allowing you to enjoy different flavors. The hamburger patties were cooked to perfection. I would say they were “well done,” with charred grill marks on the outside while remaining soft and juicy on the inside. The taste was delicious and bursting with flavor, especially when paired with rice. I also liked the miso soup. The service was good, and the staff were attentive.

If you’re really up for good hamburger patties, it’s a great place. Each patty takes great care cooking. It takes 35mins to get it ready. But they have a new one every two minutes or so. Juicy well made patties. My personal condiment favorite is the Oil Marinated chili. I topped it over my soft chewy hot rice. Sprinkle in a little pink salt made it perfect. Rice is unlimited, if you want egg on all your three patties, you can always order an extra egg; by the entrance though. Kimchi and grated radish was cool and refreshing palate cleanser. Severs were really sweet and enthusiastic! Can’t wait to get back.

Soooooooooooooo goood!!!!!!!! The burgers were cooked perfectly! So juicy!!!! I made a reservation so I didn’t have to wait in line. I recommend making a reservation. They charge ₱150 per head but it’s deductible from your total bill. The set comes with 3 hamburgs, unli rice, 1 miso soup and one raw egg. There’s instructions so you can enjoy the hamburgs fully. My fave was when I placed the raw egg yolk on the rice which they recommend you do for the 3rd hamburg There’s lots of different condiments and sauces for you to choose from. We got the special sauce too (there’s added charge for this but not a lot) Be prepared to smell like a burger though because they cook it in front of you. Overall, this was such a great meal! I would definitely come back! 5-stars and highly recommended Note: cashless payment only

I won't claim to be a meat expert, but the grilled burger patties were exceptionally juicy and delicious. As a first-time visitor who had finally given in to the social media hype, I can attest that the food and service were excellent. We booked our table several days in advance via Table Check, paying P300 for two (my daughter and me), and waited patiently in anticipation. The order and payment system is fast and efficient, highlighting classic Japanese efficiency. The bar-type seating arrangement ensures a focus on the food and service rather than group conversation. There are various condiments and combinations to try, complete with instructions on how best to enjoy each patty. I recommend experimenting with different sides and condiments alongside your burger steaks. The rice and miso soup are unlimited. We also ordered the potato salad and their flavored ginger ale, which proved to be a refreshing and palate-cleansing drink. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service. My only minor suggestion would be for diners to be mindful of others by keeping their voices at a respectful volume.

​Simple Perfection: A Juicy Burger and Attentive Service ​The food here is a masterclass in simplicity executed flawlessly. The burger was the star—juicy, flavorful, and elevated by their incredible sauces. The green pepper in oil was my absolute favorite and a must-try condiment. The standard sides, including the miso soup and good Japanese rice, were well-prepared. Don't skip the potato salad and the non-traditional kimchi; it has a fresh, slaw-like quality that I found surprisingly delightful. ​From a service perspective, the experience was seamless. Our server and chef were incredibly attentive, ensuring we felt well looked after throughout the meal. ​The venue itself looks amazing, but it can get quite smokey. A heads-up: while the atmosphere is fun, you will leave with the scent of the grill on your clothes. ​Bottom Line: A truly good experience centered on simple, high-quality food that proves sometimes less is more.

Hikiniku was recommended by a friend, so I came in with zero expectations—and it really delivered. The staff were very attentive and took the time to guide us on how to enjoy the meal properly (hopefully this stays consistent), which made the experience feel thoughtful rather than rushed. If you order the Hikiniku to Come set, you get three incredibly juicy patties - and I’m not exaggerating. They were tender, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor without being heavy or sickly. Honestly, the patties stand on their own and don’t even need extra condiments. The restaurant layout also feels familiar, reminding me of Mendokoro Ramen just across. If there’s one downside, it’s how in-demand the place is. We actually got turned away once because it was fully booked. Definitely reserve ahead to avoid the wait. Solid experience overall, and I’d happily come back!
