I"ve seen this restaurant for ages in Greenbelt but it was only last week that we got to try it. The other establishments beside it have closed shop and there are new ones sprouting but Nanbantei of Tokyo is still there so it must be serving the good stuff to withstand the competition.
We had a heavy lunch of baby back ribs so we just focused on the best sellers of Nanbantei and that would be their yakitori. I thought yakitori was meant for chicken alone but here aside from the skewered bite size chicken pieces , they have beef or yakiniku , pork , seafood, vegetables like grilled corn, eggplant , shitake mushrooms and even grilled rice balls.
We ordered the chicken balls , the salmon balls and the cuttlefish with shiso leaf.

| Grilled Chicken Balls |
The chicken balls are made of ground chicken meat so it tasted like a chicken burger. It was ok , a bit ordinary but it was good with the teriyaki sauce.

| Salmon Balls |
I like the salmon balls better , drizzled with teriyaki sauce also, it's like salmon teriyaki on a stick haha..

| Cuttlefish with Shiso Leaf |
The cuttlefish was a bit dry and I didn't like much the shiso leaf. Overall, Nanbantei is okay, specially if you're a fan of the grilled and skewered stuff and they do offer your reliable maki, tempura , kani salad and other Japanese staples to go with your yakitori. And looking at how packed the place was that night, it looks like it's here to stay.
