Botejyu Cebu – Authentic Japanese Comfort Food with BDO’s 50% Off Promo

-

 

When we heard about BDO’s 50% off promo at Botejyu, we knew we couldn’t miss it. Luckily, we managed to catch the very last day of the promotion — and it was the perfect excuse to indulge in authentic Japanese flavors without worrying too much about the bill.

Promotions like this prove how much value you can get with the right credit card. Not only do you get to enjoy premium meals, but you also save significantly. And in this case, it was a win-win: Botejyu’s top-notch dishes paired with half the price — sulit kaayo!

Dining at Botejyu – Japanese Flavors in Cebu

Botejyu is one of those restaurants that consistently delivers when it comes to quality, flavor, and presentation. Originating from Japan, it has expanded globally and found a strong following here in the Philippines, including in Cebu.

Every visit feels like a step closer to Japanese dining culture — from the umami-rich flavors to the generous servings that leave you fully satisfied. Whether you’re craving ramen, katsu, donburi, or something lighter like salad and onigiri, Botejyu’s menu has something for every kind of foodie.

What We Ordered

Here’s a rundown of our dinner spread during the BDO promo:

  • Teriyaki Beef Garlic Steak Rice Bowl – tender beef, garlicky goodness, and just the right amount of sweetness from the teriyaki glaze.

  • Hokkaido Style Grilled BBQ – smoky, rich, and indulgent, bringing the flavors of northern Japan straight to Cebu.

  • Tender Pork Katsu Ala Carte – crispy breading outside, juicy pork inside. A katsu classic done right.

  • Botejyu Special Salad – fresh greens balanced with flavorful toppings, a refreshing complement to the heavier dishes.

  • Tuna Mayo Fusion Onigiri – a simple yet satisfying rice ball, creamy and savory at the same time.

  • Pork Tonkotsu Ramen – rich broth, springy noodles, and tender pork slices — comfort in a bowl.

  • Fried Prawn Katsu Platter – crispy, golden prawns that added variety to our feast.

  • Vanilla Ice Cream Sundae 🍨 – the sweet, light finish after a hearty Japanese meal.

Each dish came with generous servings, presented beautifully, and most importantly, tasted authentic and flavorful.

Why Dining Promos Matter

The highlight of this visit wasn’t just the food, but the value of the promo itself. Getting 50% off meant enjoying all these premium Japanese dishes for just half the usual price.

This experience reminded us why having the right credit card is such a game changer for foodies. Many banks partner with restaurants to offer dining promos — from discounts to cashback to freebies. If you’re someone who loves exploring restaurants in Cebu, it pays to take advantage of these deals.

How to Get Dining Perks Like This

If you’re still paying full price every time you dine out, you might be missing out on huge savings. The trick is to apply for a credit card that offers regular dining promos. Not only will you enjoy meals at a lower cost, but you’ll also maximize your food trips with points, rebates, and exclusive discounts.

Here are some great options to get you started:

👉 Metrobank: Apply here (Referral Code: BSN209)
👉 UnionBank: Apply here
👉 EastWest: Apply here
👉 Security Bank: Apply here
👉 RCBC: Apply here (Referral Code: MGM2454922)

Promos like the BDO x Botejyu partnership are proof that dining with the right card makes every meal more rewarding.

Final Thoughts

Our Botejyu dining experience with BDO’s 50% off promo reminded us that food trips can be both indulgent and practical. You don’t have to spend big to enjoy premium Japanese cuisine — you just need to be smart with your choices, including the credit card you use.

  Street Food Vibes at Roro Cordova Food Park Late-afternoon cravings led us to  Roro Cordova Food Park  in Cordova, Cebu. The place was lively when we arrived—music in the background, families sharing tables, and stalls calling out with fresh batches of snacks.

You can mix and match small plates, try something new, or go for that one dish you already love. It’s the kind of food trip where you leave full and happy without spending too much.
