Stopped by Little Quiapo for a light snack on a super hot day. We ordered the special halo-halo…read morewith ice cream, palabok, and sisig on rice. The halo-halo was the standout for me--really hit the spot and perfect for the weather. The palabok was very generous with the sauce, which I appreciated, though flavor-wise it wasn't especially memorable for me since I've had better elsewhere. The sisig on rice was okay, but I wish there was a bit more sisig compared to the amount of rice. The place was packed though, so clearly a lot of people keep coming back for a reason. I'd still be open to returning and trying some of their other ulam next time.

I hear this place is pretty popular. Came highly recommended. Love how open this restaurant is…read more Large windows, ceiling fans, no ac. Very old school. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They have huge servings, so come hungry. Came for lunch. Ordered samosa sampler, hummus with pita, chicken shawarma plate, beef chelo kabab plate and a lamb kabab plate with basmati rice. Everything came out fresh and hot. I can see why Mr. Kabab has a huge following. Big servings of freshly made food. Overall, I thought the spices were very understated. The samosas were hot but not much flavor, the hummus was on the runny side and needed a little bit more cumin or something. The chicken shawarma was pretty crunchy, not how I prefer my shawarma meat. The kababs were juicy, but again barely any flavor. It's a good place to eat but if you're looking for authentic flavors, you won't find it here.

Taste has never changed. I docked a star though because my sizzling keema did not come in sizzling even as I dumped in the gravy. I was surprised on how the ordering has a new process now where you have to go to the counter to order. This visit also led me to discover that they also make very good pizza. My niece's cheese pizza came in fresh and its dough was perfectly made. Would always be coming back here!

The entire staff was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely made us feel like valued guests. The restaurant itself was spotless, bright, and had a comfortable atmosphere that made it easy to relax and enjoy our meal. The food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great attention to detail. It truly felt like I was enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal made with love and care. The generous portions and quality ingredients made every bite memorable, and it was clear that the kitchen takes pride in everything they serve. A special thank you to our server, Anton, for providing exceptional service. He was attentive, professional, and incredibly friendly throughout our visit. He checked on us regularly, made sure our drinks stayed full, answered our questions with a smile, and made us feel well taken care of without ever being intrusive. His positive attitude and genuine hospitality made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Thank you to Anton and the entire staff for creating such a wonderful experience. Great food, excellent service, and a clean, inviting atmosphere are exactly what keep customers coming back. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal and outstanding hospitality. I can't wait to return!

This was the very first place we visited after being away from the Philippines for more than 18…read moreyears, and it did not disappoint. Everything about our experience was excellent. The restaurant has a classy, well-thought-out atmosphere with authentic Filipino charm. I ordered the Fried Pla-Pla fish, which looked incredibly appetizing and tasted even better. I also tried the Pork Sisig, served on a sizzling plate, and it was outstanding. The combination of textures, flavors, and presentation made it a real standout dish. If I had one minor criticism, it would be that the service was a bit slow. However, that was easily outweighed by the quality of the food and the overall experience. Highly recommend this place, and we'll definitely come back if we have the chance.

This branch is in a really convenient location and is maintained well. The people who work here are also super nice! I bought my birthday cake (the Purple Carousel chocolate cake) here, and they gave me an extra bag of sweets! My favorites are their: *Lemon bars - really great lemon flavor and have a tart, refreshing sweetness *Chocolate revel bars - probably the best I've had *Chocolate Campfire cake - very rich, but in this amazing way where you don't get tired of eating it! I've also had their: *Purple Carousel chocolate cake - classic chocolate cake with these chocolate wafers on top *Mini Pecan Pie - not the consistency I prefer in a pecan pie but the flavor was still very good *Mini Chocnut Pie - light, could use a stronger chocnut flavor, I really liked the crust though *Cookies - I love cookies so I usually get 1 or 2 with whatever else I'm buying that day, theirs are crispy on the edges and chewy on the inside *Quiche Tinapa - Liked this a lot and just ate mine chilled, but I think it would be better to warm it a little at home

Service at their in-house international restaurant, Misto, was no exception. Sir John in particular always went above and beyond to make sure my family and I were comfortable. He even remembered what my favorite drink to order from the juice bar was and would have it prepared for me ahead of time. Breakfast is served buffet style at their two locations in the hotel. They have approximately the same offerings at both spots (ground floor and near the top floor). The main difference I noticed was the ground floor location had an employee walking around with a bamboo hat selling taho out of buckets. The food selection is generous. There are plenty of classic Filipino breakfast options in addition to non-Filipino menu items. Definitely save room for their mango juice, ube pandesal, and champorado (and add some tuyo). Thanks again to the Seda Vertis North team for the amazing hospitality!

Came here one morning for take-out; just coffee. I ordered an iced white chocolate mint soy latte. Really good. *thumbs up* and we saw that they also had a good variety of cheesecakes and desserts. And upon a quick scan of their menu, turns out they have plenty of food options as well. So we came back in the evening around 7pm on a Tuesday. Not crowded but definitely not empty; we easily got a seat in the back area. Ordered a pistachio milk shake (*thumbs up again*) and shared a Four Mushroom pizza with my niece. We weren't expecting it to be black and we were curious if it was a special dough or something. But we were told it was food coloring that made it that way for aesthetic purposes. Tasted really good. I liked the added bonito flakes. Service was good. Didn't wait too long for the food. Only the bill out took longer than expected. Overall a good experience and a great coffee shop and hang out in the area

While living in the Philippines for a while this year, Ramen Nagi here at North EDSA was one thing…read morethat kept a flow of constant for me (AKA the quality, taste, and portions here matched what I knew from back home in California). During the weekends and prime dinner times on weekdays, this place gets packed. I would come here during weekday lunch times to take advantage of the fact that there were no lines (in the Bay Area, lines look like the ones for Disneyland rides -- long and out the door). The restaurant is spacious but because it's in the mall, you do get some background noise from the foot traffic outside. Seating here is abundant and staff are mostly on top of service. My favorite ramen here is always the Red King. I have a high tolerance for spicy food, so when I ask for a level 10, staff always ask me a second time to confirm. It is SO DIFFICULT finding actual spicy food here in QC, so knowing that Ramen Nagi stays consistent across countries brought me some comfort. I needed my noodles firm and my soup garlicky and spicy enough to make me break a sweat. If I'm ever back in QC, this is basically my residential Ramen Nagi -- I recommend it to anyone looking for some real spice while in the area.

We ended up pivoting to the lunch menu, and it turned out to be a great decision. The standout dish was the Pork Barbecue. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and savory flavor, and the meat was cooked just right. The Inihaw na Tenga ng Baboy (Grilled Pig Ears) was equally delicious, featuring the same excellent seasoning and smoky flavor in a different cut of pork. The Inihaw na Liempo (Grilled Pork Belly) was another winner, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We also enjoyed the "Bakuran" Salad, a refreshing combination of local vegetables, salted egg, and alamang (shrimp paste) that complemented the grilled dishes nicely. A special shoutout to our server, Joy, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. She got us seated quickly, and our food arrived even faster. The restaurant itself is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully decorated, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience. We'll definitely be back and would happily recommend this place to friends and family.

Dropped into Quezon City for a bit and decided to have lunch nearby. We ended up at a place called…read moreLola Ote--and damn, am I glad we did. From the moment you crack open the menu, you know what you're getting: no gimmicks, just real-deal Filipino comfort food, with a nod to the streets via a proud offering of isaw. We went for the classics--nilaga, lechon kawali, grilled tuna belly, Java rice, garlic rice, and pork BBQ. Heavy hitters, all of them. I don't usually go for huge portions, but here? Resistance was pointless. Every bite hit like a memory you didn't know you had. The ambiance walks a fine line: traditional roots with just enough of a modern pulse to remind you where you are. Nothing sterile, nothing fake. Just good food and good people. The staff? Polite, attentive--like they actually give a damn. This is the kind of place I'd come back to without hesitation. No pretense. Just food that tells you a story. Lola Ote--my new favorite go-to in the Philippines.

It was here that I got a taste of A Veneto for the first time, so I will always have fond memories…read moreof this branch. It was during a reunion with my batchmates in one of my college organizations. It was my first time to eat eggplant parmigiana, and it was then I realized firsthand how eggplant and tomato sauce - and of course, melted mozzarella cheese! - could go so well together. After that, I always ask to include eggplant parmigiana whenever I'm ordering with friends in whatever branch of A Veneto. Our group ordered a variety of pastas and pizzas - all good! - plus chicken wings, which my table companions swore were great. Our total bill was lower than I expected. A Veneto is definitely one of the more affordable Italian restaurants that serve good food. Perhaps because this branch is not in a mall, we enjoyed some peace and quiet while catching up.
