This is my second time in Wensha and my first in this branch. My first visit was in Wensha Pasay, I didn't take photos there so on my next visit i'll make a different blog about it. I only have my camera phone here. so please excuse me for having bad quality pictures.

  

Wensha Timog is famous and not difficult to find. They offer Spa services like massage, foot scrub, body scrub, manicure, pedicure and other more. The package includes the use of wet area (shower room, hot and cold Jacuzzi  steam room and sauna). Just be prepared to be naked since you are not allowed to wear anything on the wet area. Since this is Japanese inspired and Japanese people are known to give no malice on public baths just be modest enough and give respect other people.

This is the only spa in the Philippines which offers buffet. So for 780 pesos you'll get a massage, use of wet area (shower, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam bath), and a buffet.

The lobby and front desk area is elegant. its cozy, comfortable and colorful. Once you get into the front desk the receptionist will ask for the service you want to avail. you'll be given an electronic key for your locker and they will take your shoes and change it with a sleepers. 

You need a locker because you need to change into your robe. For you to feel more the Japanese spa ambiance. It is also advisable that you'll take a shower before going to the buffet area so you'll feel refreshed.

The receptionist will also ask you if it is your first time. If yes, they will explain to you how it goes in the spa and where are the locations like where is the male shower room, where is the lounge where is the buffet area. You are allowed to stay for 7 hours and beyond that you'll pay additional 100 pesos for an hour exceeded  They will know because of the electronic key.

To set expectations, the package is only 780 for the buffet, massage and wet area. So lets not expect for extravagant buffet.

But they made justice. They have fish, chicken, pork and shabu-shabu. for the dessert there are fries and gelatin. Fruits are also present. For the drinks, they have red tea, orange juice and water.

They continuously replenishes the buffet table and also change the cuisine served. Example the beef caldereta was changed to a beef stake later on. The fish fillet was changed to another fish dish.

And what I didn't expect is the taste of the food. Its delicious. I'm expecting that since we paid for this at a low price I will be getting the same quality of what I've paid for. But its not, Its delicious.

Good thing they have delicious food because the service in the buffet area is really bad. We came in and its too crowded, a seat is vacant but its not clean. I asked several time before the waiter responded to clean it. I'll just give a benefit of the doubt, there's only two of them and the buffet area is full.

I even noticed that some garbage and used towels, bed sheets and robes are transported through the buffet area (I wonder, there should be a different facility for them to transport those things, not in the area where people eat).

So we prepared for the one we're going to use for the shabu-shabu. Here in this branch you need to ask for the soup unlike in the Pasay branch, you will get your own soup. So okay we will wait for another 5 minutes or so to have it.

A manager went to us and offered if we want a beef bacon. Ofcourse we want it! :)  atlast, I felt a customer service.

Corn, Soy Sauce, Garlic, Chili, Tofu, Chicken Balls

Lettuce, Petchay, Noodles, Carrots, Corn

Soup for Shabu-shabu

Shabu-shabu

Another thing that I don't like is the small table, seriously the plates doesn't fit in. Its uncomfortable to eat. You will know that the seats are old. They just cover it with a towel but underneath are old upholstery which they should be changing. The place looks dirty. I forgot to mention, the wet area and water in the pool is dirty.

There is a window in the male cubicle. seriously? why is there a window? This is something private you are now in the buffet are not in the wet area anymore. what if the is someone who needs to poop and everyone can see him. This is unacceptable.

After eating we had our massage. Massage is awesome. masseurs are well trained and they know where are the right spots, they know the right strokes and even the pressure is correct. So i suggest if you want to relax you would want to try wensha's massage and food. the massage area is clean and quiet. Two beds in one room and there is a glass door. So far i know nothing extraordiary happens there (if you know what I mean).

So overall if you want to relax. A massage and good food is what you're looking for? You may go to wensha. But if you're looking for a clean japanase bath I will recomend you somewhere else.

Note: This review is only for Timog Branch. I'll have a separate review for Pasay and Antipolo branch
