Entrance is on the 7th floor next to the Power Plant mall. Was greeted at the door and was shown a tour of their kitchen and briefly met the chefs making the night's meals. The dinner was 9 courses, with several appetizer type dishes, a palate cleanser, the main course, finishing with dessert. The restaurant changes their menu every 6-8 months, with our menu being inspired by the Western Mindanao region of the Philippines. First was a beef tinola soup. This is typically chicken, so was a different vibe. It was more of a stock than just soup, and it was very rich. Good way to start the meal off. The next course was 4 types of satti (skewers). Satay vibes, was very well bbq'd with the meats being beef tongue, beef cheek, chicken tail, and another chicken part (don't recall unfortunately). Agal agal (seaweed) and tuna was next. This was a refreshing salad with bits of tuna slices mixed in. An egg noodle dish was after the salad. Some more seaweed (different variety). Had a nice texture and the noodles were well made. The following dish was a play on roti - with it being like a sandwich, with layers of roti and filling, with a bed of veggies and cheese on top. This was really well made. Léché flan was the palate cleanser. Honestly could have had this for dessert also, it was really creamy and sweet. The main was next - banana leaf rice with a fried prawn, a beef stew, and grapefruit slaw. We had a shrimp allergy, so we were also provided some scallops with hollandaise sauce. Funny enough, I think the scallops rocked the most - though all the dishes were amazing. There were two desserts, one was a Zamboangan play of halo halo with a berry ice cream. The other was a set of chocolates with some local coffee. Everything was delicious. We also had a couple pinot noirs and the banana pandan old fashioned. The wines were decent, but the old fashioned was legit. Would def recommend it. All in all, a fantastic experience and hope to relive the experience again soon!

Not big on deep fried stuff, so I didn't try the pork, but the people I was with -- both of whom are from and live in the Philippines -- said it was excellent. The eggplant with peanut sauce was good; if you are someone who enjoys peanut sauces like what's in Thai food or West African food, adjust your expectations! It's not as peanutty -- it's deeper in flavor. Heading back to the Philippines in the fall and will be in Quezon City again, and hope to return then!

We came here before the lunch rush and it was perfect I didn't know what to expect, but just to let readers know I am not a fan of Filipino food but this place hit the spot. The pancit is delicious words cannot describe how much I love their pancit. It's the wet noodle version with the egg. It is a unique delicacy and a must try for any pancit lover.

When my friends and I first tried Wok Dis Way, we wrote it down on our "sulit places in Katipunan"…read moremental list. When I'm with a friend, what we do is order their Tapa Rice or Yang Chow rice, which is good for 2-3 people but usually just two when we're hungry (Tip: The Tapa Rice is a meal in itself because it is a large serving of rice topped with Beef Tapa and its sauce.) For the viand, we usually share their pork sisig with which they are known for (and Yes, their sisig is definitely great). My friend and I end up just spending about Php 150 for this satisfying meal. But if you're on your own or just not up to sisig, you can also try their rice meals like their Chicken Cordon Bleu or Lechon Kawali. If you're visiting this place in the evening, it's also nice to have a beer or two and you can take a smoke in their outdoor tables.

Otherwise, the individual meals may be considered a bit expensive, compared to some of the other choices around Katipunan Avenue and Esteban Abada. The serving time is moderate (15-20 minutes). The staff, while cordial, can be a bit cold at times to customers. The environment is spacious, specifically designed to depict a homey atmosphere suited for group outings. The place, however, looks too simple and a bit worn down, which could be due to the ongoing repairs in the restaurant. The food, however, is served with the appropriate amounts (depending if for short order, solo, or for sharing), and their taste adds a home-cooked element to it. I also particularly liked the chicken curry and the creamy fish fingers, and I would recommend them to anyone interested in dining in this establishment. If you are planning to eat with your friends and save some money, Wok Dis Way is a good spot for you. Otherwise, I would suggest exploring other options first.

It's one of the go-to restaurants for Ateneans, especially for dinners after a long day. It's not as pricey as a fancy restaurant, and definitely more homey than Jollibee or McDo, so it's a welcome change to most college students' diets. When I go there I usually order one of their sizzling dishes, most notably the Sisig a la Domeng. and at P145, you're going to save up on a lot since it's large enough to share among 2-3 people. They've also got other favorites that hit close to home like Lechon Kawali, Kare-Kare, and Sinigang, which are all great. My friend said she found her salpicao a tad oily, but I think that the affordability outweighs small errors like that. The layout of the place makes it feel like a cute Filipino diner, with the polite and cheery staff and the welcome chit-chat of other diners. You'll definitely get your money's worth here.

I understand why a lot of my friends love Ken Afford. First of all, it's a /can afford/ (insert…read morecanned laughter here). Secondly, they serve a variety of Filipino dishes, cooked just like how mom would.

They even have free WiFi! So don't be reluctant to try this out. I assure you, it's worth a shot.

Something about this bothered me, as I remembered something the traditional kare-kare recipe that put me off. When we got there I remembered what it was... I HATE EGGPLANT! Fired, broiled, breaded, whatever. I hate eggplant; probably choked to death on it in a previous life. So I was a little bummed on what to order, when I saw the kare-kare seafood special. Oh my goodness. What a treat. Savory, the pasta was al-dente and I added just the right amount of shrimp paste--served as a side (if you've ever cooked with shrimp paste you know how easy it is to destroy a recipe with too much), and piping hot!!!. I don't know how traditional the seafood kare-kare special was, but it amazing. Note to the owners and staff... you could probably raise your prices a bit. Pretty cheap eats, all things considered.

Just like Pinac, O'ini serves one of the best Kapampangan food without travelling an hour to Pampanga. Save the money that should be spent on gas and toll fees in O'ini. The restaurant's ambiance is more of the bahay kubo feel where tables and chairs are made out of bamboo. The servers were ready to take your orders any time and they'd give their personal favourites from a wide array of food. My mom ordered kare-kare, I got inihaw na hito with burong isda (a true Kapampangan food!!!) and crispy crablets. My brother had kalderetang kambing and sinampalukang manok. It was a total feast for everyone of us!!! What makes this O'ini stand out for me is the value for money. It's not pricey. Food is good for 1-2 persons but the flavour just makes you want to order more food. The store also has take home food from longganisa to the sansrival so that you wouldn't miss Kapampangan food at home. If you happen to be stuck in Katipunan, look for O'ini and it's a sure fire hit for everyone's tastebuds!

The restaurant has recently moved from its old address in South Maginhawa to a new place near my house. The new North Maginhawa location is more accessible from Philcoa, and it has the fun and quirkily decorated jeepneys where you can eat your big group. If you commute via jeepney every day, chances are you will be familiar with the witty slogans like "Basta sexy, libre. Basta chubby, doble" that Gerry's put up around their location. Their group meals which are named after main jeepney routes (Monumento, Ayala, Quiapo and Cubao,) are set up on banana leaves, inviting diners to dig in and have a great time, even without utensils. The quality of the food and the cheerful ambiance makes it a cheaper yet superior substitute to Seafood Island.
