Chaya — SM City Baguio brings the city's most celebrated Japanese restaurant to the Upper Ground Floor (Left Wing, Sunset Terraces side) of SM City Baguio — North Luzon's largest mall, naturally ventilated and perched on Luneta Hill above Burnham Park. The standards carry over from the 72 Legarda Road original: a Japanese-owned kitchen (the husband-and-wife team behind the brand), daily-fresh fish, made-to-order nigiri and sashimi, complimentary side dishes to start, and the same core menu of sashimi platters, maki, agedashi tofu, gyoza, tempura, sukiyaki, soba and ramen, katsudon and curry. The branch adds its own draws: a more spacious interior, a much-loved terrace on SM's west-facing Sunset Terraces wing with sunset views over the city, value set meals around ₱400 (choice of two proteins from pork, chicken, or fish, plus rice, miso soup, unsweetened tea, and dessert), fresh fruit shakes, and cashless payments including Apple Pay and Google Pay. Reviewers consistently find the food quality equal to the original, and parking is the mall's 3,000+ slots — far easier than the Legarda driveway. Mall hours apply.
