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

All of it was sooo good. The ricotta pancakes were beautifully fluffy, it comes with 4 big pancakes. We shared this dish and ate like half. It comes covered in syrup & some butter. So good! The steak & eggs were good, though I only had a taste of the steak which was tender & came with tasty gravy sauce. The potatoes looked sooo crispy, and the eggs were perfectly cooked. The spam bowl was good! I'm not the biggest fan of brown rice though (so healthy, right?) so I probably would've liked it more with white rice. The spam was super soft, and flavored well. Kind of sweet, which I like but i know lots of people don't. I'm used to super crispy spam, but this was good. The real star of the meal was the truffle scramble. The crispy and non crispy mushrooms were soooo good. And there's a truffle paste that goes on top! It was so flavorful! And the eggs..... idk how they get it so fluffy and idk, the texture was just so perfect. Honestly probably the best eggs I've ever haha. The ambiance of this place is super cute, something that reminds me of home in the Bay Area or LA. It's in a popular shopping area too. As for pricing, it's more expensive than your traditional breakfast but very cheap compared to US prices which I'm used to lol. The service was super quick and attentive.

The chicken wings, truffle taters and calamari were good, but not a fan of their pastas.read more

It was very tender and filled with flavor, the mango sticky rice was good too, I loved how they salted the rice to just add a touch of that savory flavor to compliment the sweetness.

Sorry not impressed. First off the service really isn't what you'd expect when first walking in…read morebecause it's terrible. Although quaint and inviting, it still projects a high end feel. I read the previous reviews which prompted our visit. I do agree with something mentioned in a previous review, the food was just average, nothing that knocks your socks off. Although we ordered drinks, our water glasses sat empty after the first fill. I intentionally scooted the glasses to the edge of the table, placed both of them together in hopes someone would notice... Nope! Fat chance. The food: I tried ordering the crab cakes: sorry not available. French onion soup: nothing to write home about. It was about just below average on the taste scale. Feta salad: they use dried strawberries and other dried fruits! Boo! It looked like a bowl of my Special K cereal as it approached the table. Sorry, dried fruit in a salad is horrific! Plus I didn't see any walnuts as stated in the menu. Shrimp risotto: again, nothing that wows here. The risotto is al dente which is by my account the way pasta should be. Yet there wasn't really anything special here. Muscles: salty. But it had good flavor. This was my favorite dish of the evening and that's saying a lot when I'll choose a salty dish over anything else I had. The fries were a side of the muscles and we're all soggy, but I'm not sure if they were meant to be, but I doubt it. The white sangria: had chopped fruit, nice touch except they also included finely chopped limes with skins on to the finely chopped apples which makes it difficult to distinguish what's what so needless to say I spat out limes on more than one occasion. Oh and the sangria isn't that great either I hate soda-ish wines, not a fan of the sparking wines personally. I couldn't power through it. So I didn't drink the sangria and my water glass sat empty. Thanks!! Overall. I'm really so very very happy I didn't order the chefs special rib eye. At the prices this place charges, I'm sorry I expected a lot more service and quality, and more so, flavor. I don't fancy a second try. It's aesthetically pleasing to walk past in the mall, and that's exactly what I'll be doing from now on, walking past. Stay hungry! A la cuisine!

FOOD We availed Package 2 that was good for at least ten hungry customers, and all three parts of our long table were covered. We only added Sisig in a Pouch as extra. Sisig in a Pouch and Tinapa Roll Wrapped in Lettuce were excellent with a crunchy wrapper packing pleasingly flavorful experiences. Boneless Pata Special didn't feel that special because the skin wasn't that crunchy, but it did taste good. Crispy Boneless Tilapia was cut up nicely, leaving fish chunks ready for dipping into 4 sauces, while the rest of the fish was for display. Kare Kare Beef and Tripe were tender and terrific with bagoong (shrimp paste). Laing 2 Ways was excellent though I only tried it "1 Way." Pinatayong Manok was just okay but my companions said it tasted like honey chicken. Swahe on the Rocks were small but fresh. Since Kare Kare and Sisig in a Pouch already had bagoong, I didn't eat that much Bagoong Rice anymore. We spotted something mysterious in the Kare Kare but we gave it to one of the servers and he said he'll let the others know. I hope they found out what it was and how it got there in the first place. SERVICE I enjoyed watching our servers prep the Pinatayong Manok and Swahe on the Rocks on the side of our table; made the food more appetizing. We received friendly smiles and the occasional proactive water refill. The tiny pouch our server donned was very intriguing!

Food at dinner is good though a bit light for what you pay for. There was only like 4 chicken pieces in my chicken adobo. And they have a tasteless egg on top. Whole squid was tender and juicy. Avoid this place for breakfast as the omelette had whole chunked cheese, cold and flavorless. Pork Adobe was like eating hard cow hide.

If anything I ordered here was extraordinary, it would be the iced tea. I just can't forget the reaction of my sister to the face I made after just one sip. She laughed so hard the entire lunch we've spent in Makan! Okay, let me describe to you their perfect iced tea. It's not instant for sure. I can taste the lovely bitterness of the tea leaves this was extracted from. It almost tasted like a real fresh, literal tea with ice. Even the slight flavor of lemon sweetened by honey was oh-so delicious. It was the most perfect Iced tea I ever had in the Philippines! Oh, they also have an awesome Bagoong Rice. And pad thai that has sorta "kunat" nuts. But mostly, you can come here for the iced tea. It's just perfect.

My visit to Tokyo Café was during one of those days when I was too hungry to walk any further and…read morethink of where to eat. Tokyo Café never tempted me to look twice whenever I'd walk by it, so I didn't know what to expect (the fake food displays always creeped me out). As mentioned, I was starving so I picked the most filling meal I could find and hoped for the best. I was with my parents then who were both equally ravenous, so we all ordered different versions of the katsu sets we worshipped in other restaurants. There wasn't anything great about our orders but I was happy to have them in my belly the second they arrived; I was starving and I honestly think anything would've tasted magical to me. I don't remember much because I tend to black out when I'm starving, but the prices were very reasonable considering the serving size and the addition of soup and side dishes.

We decided to eat at Tokyo Cafe because it was the first restaurant that we liked. There was nothing really special about the place and it was just a regular day, so we just ordered the basics: soup, a sandwich, pasta and chicken. We weren't expecting anything out of the ordinary, but we were pleasantly surprised with the food. The clam chowder and clubhouse sandwich were delicious. The Chicken and Cheese Rolls were too chewy in my opinion, but are also good once you really sink your teeth into it. And I cannot even begin to explain how spectacular their Creamy Ebiko Pasta was. I love cream-based sauces and I love shrimps so this was really a jackpot for me. What was supposed to be a quick lunch turned out to be a simple celebration of some sort, thanks to Tokyo Cafe's humble but delicious offerings.

Cute spot with great coffee, baked goods and bread, elevated breakfast dishes, and even cocktails. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, plus attentive service. We tried: - Filipino breakfast: housemade sausage on a bed of fluffy rice, an over-easy egg, and atchara. Nice balance of flavors. - Ricotta toast: ricotta, mango, pistachio, and honey on top of one of their loaves (maybe sourdough?). I love hearty toasts, and I loved this. Not too sweet, has different textures, and it looks appetizing. What's not to like. - Pastry board: there was a plain croissant, a chocolate croissant, a brioche, and possibly a donut. All good and devoured at the table. - Various types of lattes and coffee: well prepared. - A couple of different flavors of mimosas (guava, passion fruit): good, but a touch too much fruit puree for my taste. - Various fresh juices: refreshing Lots of restaurants in this part of BGC, but this was one of my favorites for breakfast/brunch. Would've loved to try their lunch or dinner menu. Next time we're in the area!

The adobo fried rice was very yummy and my hubby finished all of it. The bucatini was just okay. The funny thing is, it didn't even come with garlic bread. For $15 dish, you would think it would come with piece of garlic toast...crazy I tell you. Service was good, however, I felt that they kept changing servers on us. We didn't know who was really our server. We had the ube ice cream for dessert and it was so yummy. We ordered the san rival and white chocolate ube cookies togo and those were delish! I have to say everything was pretty good, except the bathroom. For such a nice place, the bathroom should be kept perfectly clean and it was not! I was kinda grossed out. The decor was nice, but it was filthy & that's why this place only got 4 stars & not 5.
