There really isnt a lot of parking available, but as long as you can fit your car in a spot, youre good. There have definitely grown a lot in the many years of my absence. I remember it was an all outdoor setting and the restaurant was still halfway through the field. Now, it takes up the entire lot with a second story spaces and airconditioned rooms and private rooms. I dont ever recall having a turo turo/ karenderia setting, but its there now and its the same as the food as they serve in the menu. Like most restaurants here, they have a place to wash their hands that is outside of the restrooms which makes it super convenient and you dont have to crowd the restrooms for that. Also, you can fill your own water pitchers or glasses at their self serve water station just beside the hand washing station. They were all very attentive to us. We had over a party of 15 of all ages and everyone was pretty fed and satisfied.

What's really great about this restaurant is that Mary Ann, the owner's wife is very hands-on. She would welcome you with a smile, find you a seat, and talk to you about what they have for the day -chicken, pork, or fish. We tried their pad thai and it was delicious! We didn't even bother to look at the meju as they serve different food on different days! How cool is that!? Overall, I would truly recommend the place to those who have the appetite for all things spicy! Truly, once of Lapu-lapu city's rare gem of a resto!

The selection of vegetarian entrees is quite bountiful, and the vegetable rice biryani is wonderful. I also appreciate the vegetable Manchurian, which is chock full of tasty garlic. The texture and mouth feel of this dish is also splendid. As a foreigner coming from outside of the Philippines, I have been pleased that the staff has been helpful with menu selections. I feel welcomed and at home. I applaud their use of spices in every dish, they are prepared with particular skill. When I finally am through with an excellent meal created here I feel ecstasy during the taxi ride back to the hotel.

The…read moreservers are always attentive, they have great items on the menu, including imported drinks like sake and rice wine from Japan. Even with the way the tables are set up, you have the option to dine on a regular chair/table or like true Japanese restaurants where you're seated on the floor. It's easy to see why Japanese tourists love coming to dine here - it's an authentic yakiniku experience. That means they do serve Kobe beef on the menu! Unfortunately that also means, to those sensitive of the issue, smoking is allowed while dining. Other than that, the meat quality is top notch. You get what you pay for. That said, this is a little more on the pricey side. On average, according to my dad, it comes out to about P2k to P2.5k a person each time we come here. Well worth it, in my opinion.

Let me just get this out before I continue with my review - this place is disgusting! The order process was okay and the cashier took my order and served it in record time. When I was looking for a table, that's when everything went downhill. There were a lot of vacant tables with uncleaned dishes on them! Apparently, it takes twice as much time to get the tables cleaned out for the next diner than to take and serve their orders. The floor had water drips that needed wiping and nobody seemed to be interested in doing that! For their benefit they did put out a "wet floor" sign but it was truly disturbing let alone unsafe! I finished my food as fast as I could because I couldn't bear the sight of the mess. It was truly disgusting! I still cringe whenever I remember the mess that I saw. For a popular fast food chain, sanitation was terribly lacking!

Situated in Cordova at Barangay Buagsong lies the infamous "bakasihan" who founded by Tatay Entoy. He's the father of "bakasihan eatery ". From Cebu City, we travelled 51mins. via single motorcycle. And I'm telling you, better pat sunscreen coz the heat from the sun is too much. LoL. T'was almost 2pm and the place is still packed with patrons eating in big groups. Crowded yet we still manage to find a table to dine-in. FOOD. "Nilarang na Bakasi" (tiger reef-eel stew) - tasty & a bit of savory side. It is made in a spicy and sour coconut milk-based broth with garlic, red onions, tomatoes, fermented black beans, chilis & sour fruits. T'was indeed a steal when visiting Cordova! Fried Bakasi - crispylicious fried fish which you can easily eat its bone. Taste better when dipped on sauce (combination of soy sauce, vinegar/calamansi & chili). Saang - they steamed it and the saltiness from the ocean make it a great sign that t'was freshly caught. Imbao Soup - one of Cebu's delicacy that's also rampant in Cordova. The soup is so hearty the moment you slurp it. It has its own distinctive sweet taste that even without any seasoning, it's sure taste yummy. Imbao meat is a little bit gooey especially if it's a lil bit large. Lato "sea grapes" - is fresh as well but they really don't clean it thoroughly. Still a must when feasting seafood. Don't forget dipping it on a vinegar. Ginisang Octopus - t'was good! Savory and every bite is delicious. Meat is perfectly cooked and not really gooey. They make it a bit spicy which add kicks to it. Takeout: Ginisang shrimp - t'was perfectly cooked and the saltiness balanced to its sweetness. It also has its nice texture to it. Halang-Halang in the form of seashells meat (don't know what kind of seashell is it) is the perfect "pulutan" for people chillin' with beer. Spicy and undeniably Onolicious! Our juander Cordova seafood feast is both filling and economical. For $17.50 t'was one of the best seafood mukbang I ever tasted. With a panoramic view of the ocean's vastness you'll truly enjoy the oldest and most popular eatery serving bakasi in town. Customer service is superb. They were so helpful and friendly. They put that welcoming smile that even though they were tired they still able to show their welcoming aura. Indeed a must visit eatery when you visit Cebu City. Don't expect a luxury style of service, you can't find it here. Know that this is a homestyle eatery that will bound to feel you at home. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps!
