I'm a sucker for interior design and the pictures don't do it justice. Props to whoever designed this restaurant. We went there for lunch and there was no line. Although the place was full, we got our food in no more than 15 minutes. The food itself was delicious. No complaints at all.

Handuraw is a pizza place that originated from Cebu. When I was still in university, I was taking…read moremath tutorials with a couple of my Cebuano friends and they redirected me to a little known pizza place just off Katipunan Avenue-- et voila, my first introduction to Handuraw. At first, I didn't know why they were ordering whole pizzas for themselves (thinking that maybe oh, maybe it's just a solo serving, but they WEREN'T) and when the pizzas came and I started eating, I only realized then that AH, this is why they all ordered whole pizzas for themselves. It's that good, you can finish one by yourself! I was terribly sad that the branch had closed down all those years ago, but I discovered another branch that was close to home! (My parent's house, anyway!) Although, what I don't understand is, why is there only one remaining branch in Manila? Seriously! When I was in Ateneo, the branch in Katipunan was full everytime. And their pizza is Delicious. With a capital D. It's a thin crust pizza, and they do have the normal pepperonis and hawaiian. But the real clincher for me is their Pizza Cebuana (thank you my Cebuano friends for telling me about this). It's one of their best sellers, and has Cebu-style chorizo (which sort of tastes like a tocino? ONLY BETTER) and kesong puti. It's so good, you'd have to get your own order of a whole pizza to satisfy you.

The place has a very unassuming façade which looks more like a garage than a restaurant. But once you're inside, you will be surprised to find that the place is huge and is full of collectible vintage items. It really is amazing, from the vinyl records to the old plate numbers to the old movie posters, there's just so much to see in there. But it isn't just a place to visit for the décor. They have amazing food as well. So I'm just going to get this out there: Their nachos are the bomb! I've had nachos in big fancy restaurants, but they don't even compare to what Fat Frank's has to offer. It has meat. It has cheese. It has sour cream. It has salsa. It has jalapenos. It has all the good things you want in a huge order of nachos. If you're looking for a great date place where you can save money (but really don't want to look cheap), this is it. Just fill up on the nachos and their creamy, lovely milkshakes and you're pretty much set. An order of entrée is just icing on the cake...trust me, by the time you get to the main dish, you're already full. I highly recommend Fat Frank's to anyone into the American Diner feel and taste.

Breakfast/Brunch is served between 6:00a to 10:00a and is complimentary if you're staying in the hotel. The line can get long at times depending on how many guests that particular day. Breakfast can have a variety of many choices between American and Filipino food. They have an omelette/egg station and also serve bacon, sausage, waffles and pancakes, donuts and cereal and could also have dilis mixed in with the others. The middle section are dishes ranging from pansit, roasted chicken, beef stew, baked bangus on any given day... yes, beginning at 6:00a you could be eating lunch LoL! They also have Filipino desserts. We also used the Cafe to entertain our family guests who came to visit us during dinner. For this we had different menus and we paid like we would do in a regular restaurant. The ambiance is always busy. The staff here are very friendly and polite. You will always hear a "Good Morning, sir or ma'am, as they greet you. We would see flight attendants of Cebu Pacific stay and dine here sometimes also. Review #3286

There are countless places to get siopao in Metro Manila, but for me there are only two brands with…read moredistinctive tastes. One is Ma Mon Luk, the other is Kowloon House. Since I cannot watch movies without a siopao or two to munch on, I'm glad there's a Kowloon House near where I used to live. It's in a strip mall fronting Brazil street, which makes it not too far from SM Bicutan. Whether asado or bola-bola, Kowloon has been able to maintain its terrific taste over the decades. This place is open until late into the evening, so whenever the urge hits, I can be sure that I can get my favourite jumbo siopao practically anytime. Kowloon claims to have the "world's best dimsum" and it's not an idle boast. How else could it have survived for the longest time? However, the outlet along Dona Soledad Avenue says it's open 24 hours a day, but there have been several occasions when I passed by and it was closed for business. The place is more kiosk than restaurant, by the way. There are only a handful of tables and chairs, but that's ok. Most customers order take out anyway. There's been only one out of so many times when I wasn't totally satisfied with my Kowloon siopao. The taste seemed funny, close to spoiling. I chalk up that one bad experience to their possibly recycling unsold siopao. Or maybe it was just one bad batch out of thousands sold every month. I've been crazy for Kowloon House siopao ever since I was a kid. I still am. Five stars for the world's best dimsum!

PI Vacay 03-2025…read more Mall of Asia location, of course we wanted filipino food. Gerrys Grill was on-site! Went to the outside entrance to get checked in. I am just waiting there and the worker just ignored me. Another pet peeve of mine. The least you can do is acknowledge me. A few minutes passes and I finally get acknowledged by another worker. She directs me to go to the front and I ended up checking in with another host. Come to find out .. the main entrance is inside the mall. The checkin looks deceiving. Oh well. Waited 25 mins and was finally seated. Ordered Calimari and several main dish entrees. Some of the dishes did not taste good as other Gerry Grills I have tasted. Service was ok, was very busy so I understood the protocol that they are going through. This has to be the crowdest one of them all. Place is packed! Overall the ambiance is good. The place is Clean and it's inside the mall of Asia. This place is good but had better at other Gerrys grill. Good location for tourists!

While…read morestaying at the Marriott during my trip, there was no question that I would make reservations here, as I had an awesome experience last year. I returned with my 2 co-workers and they did not disappoint. The restaurant is beautiful, they serve complimentary candied walnuts, and hot tea. We ordered a variety of items...adding a few that we did not try the year before. Appetizers were shrimp toast and salmon. Mains were beef and broccoli, half roast duck, bok choy, shrimp and chicken fried rice, and we had a few cocktails. The food was amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever visiting Manila, Philippines! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they stop reserving lumpia after lunch, and I believe we were dealing with an inexperienced waiter. The service wasn't perfect like it was in the past, he told us we could not have unlimited nuts - we had the manager correct that, and he wouldn't allow us to modify our cocktails - again, someone else corrects that as well. Overall, great experience!

It's my husband's favorite restaurant when we are in the area. The interior is very nice with high ceiling and elegant Asian-themed decor. There were several private parties in some of their function rooms. The restaurant is conducive to carrying a conversation. Service staff are kind, attentive and helpful and never overbearing. You feel comfortable asking questions and they put you right at ease. We started with the Deep-fried shrimp toast with sweet and sour sauce and the Crab Roe Tofu Soup which were a delicious way to start our dinner. We were going to have the steamed grouper which we had last time but they had a limited selection in size since it was later in the evening. Since we were getting full and our flight was very early the next morning, we decided to go light on our main course. We enjoyed the very tasty Seafood Asado Pork Fried Rice, Urban farm purple bok choy with dried shrimp in garlic, and Stir-fried scallop, shrimp and cuttlefish with vegetables which had a slight spicy kick and beautifully presented in this crispy potato nest. The house tea they served stays warm with the tealight and it's a perfect complement to our delectable dinner. We were delightfully stuffed :) Another great experience at Man Ho Manila. We look forward to our next visit when we are in the area!
