Bangkok’s Nara Thai restaurant has opened a branch in the Philippines.

It has been brought in by the Roku restaurant group following Roku Sushi and Ramen, which opened in Katipunan six years ago, and Sushi Nori, which specialises in sushi and maki, and already has five branches around Metro Manila.
