First time I saw this resto, I was immediately intrigued. Likely because it carried the name of a Beatle member who I adored so much in my late teens. Remember when Channel 5 would play shows of the early years of the British band? Man, I was hooked even though I was watching replays everyday (haha).
So finally, hubby and I had the chance to eat there around mid Feb. As we expected, we had to wait for about 20 minutes to get our seats (this resto always has a queue). This wasn't so bad actually. Diners who arrived later than us at around 8 had a much longer waiting time.
On reading their menu, one would be educated on the reason for the resto's name. Apparently, they serve a combination of eastern and western food fare. Though if what we ordered be the basis, I don't think they re-interpret the dishes to make them "fusion-ized". They just serve both types, that's all.
For the western dishes, we had their New Orleans oysters. Very good. It's actually my favorite of those that we had. They had a delicate crunch that made the dish more interesting (don't really know what the ingredient though is) .
For the eastern fare, we had a salad whose name I can't recall now. It had raw tuna as one of the ingredients I think. So-so.
We also had their sukiyaki. This one too was just okay. Nothing out of the ordinary. I thought the sukiyaki we once had at Great China Flavors along Makati Ave was better.
In total, John and Yoko is .. okay. Sumo Sam which is likely to be a sister company (since their take-out packaging had Sumo Sam printed on them) still seems to be better.
Anyhow, the experience at least satisfied my curiosity. I might still go back for the oysters..and oh the iced tea. You could order blue iced tea. Cool.
