Japanese food: 6 spots, 3 floors, no overlap
One Ayala has the most Japanese options in this whole guide, and the six spots barely overlap. Musashi-Tei and Karayama do noodles and fried chicken, Genki Sushi is your raw fish spot, Marugame Udon is the fast lane, Ikinari Steak is for when you just want red meat, and Nabe is the one for solo hotpot night.
1. Musashi-Tei: ramen, actually spicy if you want it
The menu has Tonkotsu Shoyu, Miso Tonkotsu, Tonkotsu Shio, and a Kara Tonkotsu if you want heat, plus wafu shoyu and shio styles. Go for the B Set if your group can't agree on ramen or sushi — it pairs a bowl with nigiri or a salmon don, so one person gets sushi and the other gets noodles.
- Best forRamen, with a real spicy option
- Try firstKara Tonkotsu, or the B Set if you also want sushi

2. Genki Sushi: order on a screen, food arrives by mini train
Genki Sushi is on Level 2's Al Fresco Dining strip. You order from a screen at your table. Your food rides in on a mini train — not the old setup where you just grab any plate that passes. The October 2025 menu had bento meals at ₱380-420 and a 20-piece set at ₱720. Prices may have moved since, so double-check before you go.
- Best forGood for solo diners, families, or groups who want to order on their own
- Try firstOrder a small nigiri or maki set first, then add hot dishes from the tablet
- BudgetOctober 2025 menu examples: bento ₱380-420; 20-piece assorted set ₱720

3. Marugame Udon: quick, self-service, in and out
Marugame is self-service: grab your udon, pile on donburi or tempura as you go, then pay at the till. No need to coordinate with anyone — solo or barkada, this is the fastest lunch in the whole guide when you're on a mall break.
- Best forA quick, cheap meal between errands

4. Ikinari Steak: pay by the gram, cook it your way
Ikinari Steak is on the Ground Floor, near Lawson and the One Ayala bus terminal entrance. You pay by the gram here, so it's easy to order just enough or go all out. Want both steak and burger patty? Get the Wild Combo: 150g of steak plus 150g of hamburg. Paying by weight means you pick the portion, not one fixed-size cut.

5. Karayama: all they do is karaage
Karayama is on Level 2, near the EDSA-Ayala footbridge. Karaage is basically the whole menu here. The Cheesy Karatama Don piles fried chicken over rice with melted cheese. Want a bowl instead? Get the Chicken Paitan Ramen, still all about the karaage.

6. Nabe Unlimited Japanese Hotpot: solo hotpot at One Ayala
Nabe Unlimited Japanese Hotpot opened on Level 3's alfresco strip, EDSA side, on June 1, 2026. It's a Philippine brand under the Fredley Group, built as an izakaya-meets-hotpot concept, and the draw is the unli set — meat, vegetables, dumplings, and fish balls, all on repeat until you tap out.
Dining solo is officially fine here, which is rare for hotpot — most places want a full table before they hand you a pot. Pick a broth, order the unli set, and you're set for one. Rates start from around ₱588 per person on the brand's own posts, so check the current rate before you go. Want Chinese-style hotpot instead? Tong Yang is on the same floor, and it's in our first-timers guide.
- Best forSolo hotpot, no group required
- Try firstThe unli set — meat, veggies, dumplings, and fish balls, your call on the broth
- BudgetFrom around ₱588 per person; confirm the current rate
- LocationLevel 3, alfresco area (EDSA side)

7. Sibyullee: unli KBBQ, grill till you're stuffed
A review from December 2024 put Sibyullee's unli rate at ₱695 per head, with over 20 meat and seafood choices. Prices change, so confirm the rate and what's included before you go. Reviewers keep pointing to the Volcano Kimchi Fried Rice and Galbi Cheese Barbecue — save room for those.

BonChon does Soy Garlic, Spicy, Honey Citrus, and Crunchy Garlic fried chicken, plus rice meals and quick takeout. Other sites list the One Ayala branch on Level 2, but BonChon's own site doesn't confirm the floor. Check the mall directory if the exact spot matters to you.
