Has a lot of food establishment. Foods were really great. It would be best to go here at night but will be very hard to get a places since a lot of people goes here.
Gryzs Ramirez13:26 07/23/23
It was my first time here and OMG i love the vibe! I was told that it used to be shoes shop Footstep, Marikina shoes etc the became bars and shop. It was such a great experience
Roberto Jr. Catotal04:23 04/10/23
Always a great time here! Love the ambiance, the old school feels, the coffee shops and restuarants! A must visit place when in Cubao!
Gian Aguas23:51 02/08/23
I've visited this place a lot and I've brought countless of friends and family here. This has been my go to on my free time and I always feel welcome here.
Lizandra Marie Espiña01:10 01/28/23
It's a cool place to hangout with friends on a Friday or Saturday night (or both) after work. They close around 12mn. I like the ambiance. It's cool, and the place is well lit with pretty warm lights. It's like a hidden gem in Cubao, and I have a special favorite to get donuts from now too.PS. For the restroom/comfort room tho, you need to pay P5 every time.
keziah ortigas08:30 01/12/23
Looks smaller than the pictures but there is a lot of things to do. Definitely a place to go to if you are a big fan of vintage art and stuff.There are a lot of vinyls for sale as well as food and drinks. It's great for a chill night with friends and family.
Claren07:36 11/25/22
Perfect place to chill with friends during the day and drink at night. The place feels like it was lifted off from a movie due to its retro-ish beauty. People who love to explore might like the restaurants, stores and cafes here.There are different stores selling vintage items and vinyl records. Some cafes and restaurants are more modern than others. They also offer different types of cuisine from every restaurant.
Ener Magpie09:53 10/16/22
cool... but I can't always come here .. it caters to specific interests... like Millennials...and vloggers..But at least I know what's there, when I need it..

I had order for take out. Staff are very pleasant and accommodating. For dine in, not too many inside as the placr is is small but its good for nice intimate lunch or dinner
Inna Clarisse Mae Santos07:26 06/06/23
Dined during lunch at the al fresco since we came with my shih.Pet-friendly? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Food? (Order Roast Beef with Paella Rice, Chicken Bbq, Truffle Mushroom Linguine, Watermelon Shake, Strawberry Shake) ⭐⭐ TBH, I like the truffle mushroom linguine in Kalaw branch better. Strawberry shake is bland, as well as the roast beef. That's why I can't say it's worth the price.Staff? ⭐⭐⭐Friendly but their more accommodating with the diners inside. I guess they kind of find it hard to notice us. But when they do, they're pretty friendly too.
rachelle sulit14:12 05/24/23
Service sucked, they said food will be served in 15 mins, but we waited more than 30mins. Yea, i wanted to get the food from their kitchen. We ordered bfast for 3persons, the serving size is too disappointing, esp Mom's longanisa, almost the size of a marble. The smoked fish and tapa servings are literally good for one person. The rice included is practically 2cups. The plates are too heavy for the food's worth. The store ventilation needs improvement, too.
Shalom Amir Farjad02:20 04/19/23
No introduction is needed. No further exaggeration is necessary. This food joint is already outstanding for its cakes for all occasions and pastries for all ages. A must-go for take-outs for food on conviviality and festive. But be prepared for a quite hefty price.
Edric James Rojas13:59 03/12/23
I have no issue paying my bill at the counter if this is a self service restaurant but when I ask Ms. K-- (the staff ) for my bill her reply was " sir pila na lang kayo sa counter " ... atleast she responded in a polite manner but whats the purpose of your service fee charge ? 🙂 .... Yes, they are busy but the resto is only 45-55% full . I stayed for a few minutes to observe if they would do the same with other customers ... Malas ko hahaa
Lallyn Velasquez10:59 03/05/23
Excellent al-fresco dining experience. Very pet friendly and they even gave cookie treats for our fur baby.
Unshakable Foodie06:29 11/08/22
Bought a Cake for the late husband for his Birthday, last week of October. Didn't think of which to choose since these three cakes are all his favorite flavors...Banana Cake, Cheesecake and Mango!The staff asked me if I'd like to buy the Cooling bag for the cakes. Woah, meron parang Ganon?!? But I did not buy since I got 3 cakes di rin kasya.
Soul Katharina12:24 02/14/21
This is the only branch that offer my husband an ice box and the dry ice pack to secure the cake and make sure that it won't melt all the way to Taytay Rizal. And guess what? it didn't! It was as hard as frozen ice ☺️ It was a really good help. I don't why other branches don't proactively offer this. But this was a really big help!!! If I know Conti's have this one before then we could've enjoyed our cakes before 👌
Emeterio Ramos III (Emets)01:33 06/16/19
Staffs are super friendly and helpful! You can ask for reservations and group meals for 20+ pax and they will send you a quotation depending on your budget. They will follow up on you and make sure you will enjoy the foods. They can accomodate 40 pax inside and regular guests can eat outside. It was super fun! (Aircondition will open during mall hours though) But overall, it was a great experience and foods were great too! Oh, and make sure to try their cakes!

Remee Mariae Sorreda20:11 07/17/23
Twas the worst restaurant I have ever been. They served our chopseuy with rotten chicken. The cucumber juice was bland and not refreshing, the mango gulaman was too sweet! The crews were rude. We kept following up our order however they kept on ignoring us
MRS simpliciano06:16 07/12/23
Absurd price... Almost 700pesos for a kare kare in a small microwavable container. Doesn't even taste special. Better off taking out from barrio fiesta. Price is not worth the food. Crispy bagnet is also nothing special. 300 pesos for a few pieces of pork that looks like burnt bacon
Renato Mandocdoc10:45 03/31/23
Fried bangus and the sinigang are very good.Halo halo not available
Jane glaiza Fineza14:04 03/06/23
Kuya J what happened to the quantity of your food? Portion is too small. I ordered chicken bicol express pero how come puree lang sya? The sauce is delicious thou pero for the price of 309 cannot believe na eto lang ,wala man lang bits of chicken meat
Maville Cruzado08:25 03/01/23
Spoiled corn in Bulalo. They replace it but it's not fresh. It taste bland and old. Bulalo has more beef fats than meat and very little vegetable. Lastly, it serves warm, not hot.We ordered Kuya J Chicken, they didn't give us gravy or sauce.Poor service.Overall, disappointed. Not satisfied.
Engelbert Tabones12:05 02/26/23
This is our first time; we finally gave it a try, and we were very impressed. The food was very good, and the service was excellent. This branch is clean and well organized.Outstanding dishes for me were the Roast Chicken and Sinigang na Bangus.Their free appetizers are even good.
Charles21:01 11/19/22
the place is located near the bus terminals SM mall Cubao. i believe this is a well known restaurant Kuya J. I ordered salo salo crispy pata for 999php set of rice pork crispy pata ang vegetable chopsuey. and a pitcher ice tea for 180php. cook just right to a crispy skin it crackles when you bite into it. the fatty meat near the skin melts in your mouth! however the pata is little bit oversalted for me. vegetables chopsuey is too raw for my liking the garlic rice ok. verdict is a 3 out of 5
CeeJay Manganop07:09 01/24/21
This is my 2nd time to eat at Kuya J, but in different location. I could say that their foods is excellent, a little bit sad because my favorite grilled scallops is not available that day. They have a salo salo meals, we order the one with crispy pata, it comes with a 4 rice, ensaladang talong, pancit and lumpia. All was good and yummy. Also their halo halo is good. A well recommended restaurant.

Joel Calderon11:44 08/05/23
Went to Cubao Expo just to explore the area and visit a couple of shops selling vinyl records, got hungry, saw Bellini’s, and decided to try it.I say, it was a good ddecision! Though we only ordered three items (pesto, creamy pasta with salmon, and an all-meat pizza — sorry, I can’t remember the names), each one was a winner. I even dare say that menu item per menu item, this restaurant is better than Italianni’s, and less pricey even. Italianni’s, though definitely a good Italian restaurant, is a restaurant chain, so there is a subtle feeling of “corporate-ness”.Bellini’s, on the other hand, is probably a family-ran restaurant, so you can feel and taste the Italian-ness in their food, as well as a sense of intimacy and personal touch towards their food, the atmosphere, and their service.The the service was stellar. When we dined in (late lunch) there were four tables occupied (including ours) and only one wait staff. But we barely waited to be served. The food also arrived promptly (about a 10-minute wait).Finally, the parking: Cubao Expo has about 15-20 diagonal parking slots, which were all occupied when we arrived. But the time we left at around 5pm, the foot traffic was even busier. So I bet it’s usually difficult to find a parking slot here. Your best bet is to park at Ali Mall, which is a 3-minute walk to Cubao Expo.
Colleen Afan17:57 07/12/23
Great Italian resto vibes! Was able to meet Mr. Bellini, the owner of the restaurant. He's very accommodating and such a nice person. Food is okay, I love their pasta. And the breadsticks! Been here for 3 times already. It's a little bit pricey here I must say, but overall, it's a great experience dining here.
Teena Custodio10:36 05/14/23
Since the restaurant we had planned to eat at, Habanero, was closed when my husband and I arrived, we made the decision to eat at this establishment instead. And if you ask me, picking this restaurant was absolutely the best choice we could have made for our meal! Everything that we purchased has been wonderful! While I enjoyed the pizza much more than the steak, my husband enjoyed the steak. The proprietor of the restaurant takes a very hands-on approach, as evidenced by the fact that he visits each table to inquire about the well-being of the clients. It was a truly memorable experience to dine at this traditional Italian restaurant.
Eizen Barleta14:49 03/19/23
Definitely a must-try when you’re in the area! This Italian restaurant has been around before 00s. Over the years, the restaurant claimed its spot in the pop culture scene. Several celebrities have visited it already, and the chairs they sat on have labels of their names.There are also unique decorations that add appeal to the place. Look up and appreciate the painting on the ceiling, as if you’re inside the Sistine Chapel.The crew was pleasant and accommodating. The food was superb—especially the pasta and the cakes! It’s the kind of grub you’d like to take hone with you. I think it’s ideal hangout place for friends, families, and those going on dates ☺️I think it’s safe to say that Bellini’s is so far my most favorite restaurant in Quezon City. Coming back is not a question!
Josh15:12 03/07/23
Their Valentine's special is greatWe went there on their Valentine's day special and they have a set menu. The food is good. Owner is really nice. He even suggested a good wine for us. Highly recommend this restaurant. Old but gold. A hidden gem in Quezon City.
Christian Conde11:58 01/19/23
Good food but too pricey for its price. Had 2 main dish pork and fish serving is decent but not filling. Mushroom Sauces are good almost everything has truffle oil.
Jonathan Lansangan11:09 11/19/22
Great food! Their menu selection has loads to choose from. The staff will ably recommend to you good pairings of food and drink. They're also welcoming, polite, and warm. I particularly appreciate their attention to small details like where to put your bag, opening your bottle of beer at the table, and always showing grateful courtesy.The interior is so reminiscent of Italian restos and cafés. Worth coming back to again and again. Buon appetito! 🍝
Christian Fernandez (Ian)07:23 10/21/22
Authentic Italian restaurant. An icon in Quezon City. One of the best carbonara’s I have ever tasted. I love their focaccia and orange cake as well. The owner, Signor Bellini is such a gracious host. Will definitely come back.
Julie Ann Castillo07:57 07/19/22
You looking for authentic Italian dishes? It doesn't get any more authentic than Bellini's.Our server suggested pasta platter and boy, are we so thankful that he did. Al dente is the word.They ran out of panna cotta which was is my fave but their tiramisu is also really good.The staff is attentive and did not take long to serve our food. The owner also came by our table and chatted with us a bit.Will come back to try the other dishes.Yes, it's a bit pricey but you are paying for the authentic stuff.

Alex Cammagay05:55 08/05/23
Food is quite good compared to other branches tho i rated 4 stars cuz the japchae is lacking sesame oil which made the food bland.
Mary Grace Navarro06:52 07/10/23
Food was alright but not better than romantic baboy. I think because of the burner and also the smell parang may insect na nasama sa pag grill haha. But our tummy didn’t get upset so we’re good. Lol
Filipina Wanderer12:21 05/24/23
549 price per head, free ice tea and different meat flavor that you can choose
ARVIN JAY ABRINA15:07 03/09/23
The food and atmosphere is good, but for the serving I find it difficult to call the attention of the crew; maybe because they are too busy or they just choose not to listen when someone is calling for their attention though, once they saw you they will give what you ask as fast as they could.
Alyssa Scheiber13:55 01/30/23
Delicious and exactly what I was craving! They don't give you too much portions so you don't feel pressured to eat a lot, but you get to order more for free which is the best part! In the US, we would get charged for wasting any little bit, but they are not super strict here and it really makes you less worried about overeating. The food is also spectacular, we had a lot of marinated beef and pork and loved all of it! I took off a star because it looked like someone took several bites out of my rice and the side foods were not good (the carrots were overcooked, the noodles were tasteless, and the fish cake strips were not good). Other than that, would go again!
Alexander Pimentel07:18 01/28/23
Great food: Unli meat and sides, try out their soup.Good atmosphere: If you're a K-pop fan, then this is the place for you.Great service: I always give a tip to the service crew since they are very active when we need something.
Arnold D Isaac14:13 01/07/23
This was our first time to finally get inside. It’s a good sign that it’s always busy, like always busy, there’s never a moment there’s not a line or overrun with people. I give the food five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, but the CR is terrible 🤦🏽♂️. Their Kimchee is absolutely Amazing 🤩. They need a few more staff or they need an upstairs or an expansion area. Like most eat all you can Places in the country there is a payment if you have a lot of uneaten food, which is fair and prevents wastefulness, Careful not to order too much. It’s an exciting environment and they aroma it’s just wonderful from all the smoky barbecue and various flavors. They have lots of sauces and they keep your grill clean. I would give them five stars but there’s just a little bit more improvement needed. The price tag for the eat all you can is very affordable I must say. And they have a neat policy which is pretty cool 3 feet eat free, Meaning if your child is 3 feet tall or less they can eat free but if they are taller than 3 feet or 36 inches then there will be a payment but only like P300 and something not too much. Their ice cream is really good.
Steph09:45 07/29/21
Just like other Samgyupsalamat branch, they almost always have a long line before you can enter. This place is almost always full, so the staff are always busy providing the guests their sidedishes or their extra order of meat. Quality of meat is still maintained, but they could add few more staff or expand to cater more guests. I'm hoping to be able to buy their sidedishes in the future, as they are still the best as compared to other "Korean grill" restaurants when you compare the flavorful meat, variety and delicious sidedishes and the price.*photos are not mine*
Marty Cunanan08:25 08/05/20
Been a back and forth customer ever since the place opened and service has improved drastically, still get the occasional bad service in the sense that orders take too long, servers forget what we served...etc. but overall a great dining experience still, love the food love the ambience. They don't serve the gravy sauce currently and they are currently doing a maximum of 2hour dine in due to pandemic but trust me that you'll be so full by then anyway

Arianna14:06 08/08/23
WORTH THE TRIP! Food is great.Love the Three Cheese Pizza with the Habanero dip.There is always a line but for a Sunday, it was moving pretty fast
Kenneth Chua16:44 08/02/23
WORTH IT!Based on other reviews, best sellers are: Oyster Sisig, 3 cheese pizza, and the Habanero Lechon Kawali.Unfortunately, the pizza was not a good match for the lechon kawali so we had the Balut Takoyaki instead. The Balut Takoyaki was a bit off. Not really my type. It was a good appetizer tho.Obviously, the Sisig and the lechon kawali was an easy 100/10! I want to note that lechon kawali serving size is 1 kilo so better bring at least 1k php. You can take out the leftovers so no issues on that.I suggest going there on a weekday lunch closer to 11am if you want to avoid the long lines and all.For the place, it was expected to have a few insects here and there since it was open spaced. Didn't affect food quality tho :)Overall, will go back for the lechon kawali. Definitely a checklist worth ticking ✅
Colleen Afan18:46 07/12/23
Food is super flavorful! Highly recommended to try their truffle pasta, 3 cheese pizza and the pork habanero! The place is a bit small but very cozy. Located in Cubao Expo. I love the vibe of this place. The food and the waiting time is just so worth it, value for money! I even forgot to take pictures coz I was too excited to eat!
IB07:05 07/06/23
We went there for dinner at around 7pm. We were number 28 on the line, and they were serving customer number 18. We decided to wait for our turn instead of leaving for some other restaurant. Got some drinks at a neighboring bar.An hour later, we were given seats. We ordered the 3 cheese pizza, oyster sisig, and the truffle pasta. THE WAIT WAS SO WORTH THE FOOD.The waitress said that the pasta is good for 1, but I think it can also be shared for up two people. So creamy and thick. The oyster sisig was flavorful and best eaten with rice; still crispy even after it's already cold and has been on the table for 30 minutes. The pizza, is to die for and comes with a sauce. Basta, ang sarap!We will surely come back to try some other things!
organictomatopaste06:16 07/01/23
What we got and our ratings:Three cheese pizza - 4/5 will def come back for this. It tastes like what you expect it should. Side note: the sauce/dip looks like it came from peach mango pie haha but super spicyTomato dill pasta with mussels - 2.5/5, it’s good but nothing special.Creamy mushroom truffle pasta - 3.5/5, we liked it more than the other pasta. Def creamy and tasty.Oyster sisig - 4/5, top 2 fave. It’s my first time to eat an oyster sisig and I did not know what to expect but damn it’s delicious and super crunchy haha i like itLengua spring rolls - 2/5, like your usual birthday shanghai haha
JeiFer21:25 06/24/23
Worth the wait! We got the popular items on the menu - Lechon with Mustasa Leaves and Buro, Cheese Pizza, and Sisig (but Lengua instead of the Oyster)Staff was friendly even though they were so busy. We stayed in the Al fresco area though I don’t know if there’s an air conditioned dining area upstairs
chester li08:47 06/02/23
Highly recommended and worth the wait!Foods were amazing. All the dishes that we ordered were all super delicious. Quirky presentation of desserts which we like. Serving portion is good for 2 to 3 pax. Price of each food is just right. Looking forward to my next visit 🙂
Lovely Tamba13:51 05/29/23
This restaurant did not disappoint. Three cheese pizza was so good, buttery and cheesy. The pasta, we did not expect to be that good but it was easily the best dish for me. However, we like the oyster sisig the least. But I think its just that we prefer pork over oysters. Its still a good experience. One thing that I didn't like was our table. We were seated outside and there is a slope so we were slanted the entire time which was uncomfy.
Jarren Macaranas (jarrencredible)03:09 05/07/23
Simply amazing.Staff was accommodating. The place had great seats and tables, but I felt the air-conditioning in the closed area was a bit lacking. The service was quick and the staff were responsive.The food was simply amazing. Nothing too fancy, but every bite is just a delight. The lechon kawali was cooked perfectly, with the right amount of crunch on the skin. The Three Cheese pizza did not feel like it was too much cheese and the mango habanero sauce kicks it up a notch. The oyster sisig was rich and must be paired with rice.Overall, 10/10 experience, a must-try.
Catsi Catalan15:15 01/08/23
I spent half of my life in this area and most of my growing up years I had the liberty to hangout in Cubao Expo. It seems like nothing has changed throughout the decade but the new stores got me really excited.One of the reasons to re-visit this place is Habanero that undeniably made noise online with its great selection of food. Popular choices Lechon Habanero, Oyster Sisig, and Three Cheese. If you are not into spicy recipes, watch out for the hotness of Lechon. Food did not disappoint and are averagely priced. Expect a swarm of dine-in customers during Lunch or Dinner time and we’d always go on downtime during weekends.
Leslie Legaspi14:00 01/02/23
Favorites: Oyster Sisig, Bagoong Rice & Lechon HabaneroOne word: Amazing ✨ They elevated the dishes and transformed into something we can also enjoy eating with our eyes 😍 almost all the tables have similar orders but what stood out to me were my favs. I just wish there's an option for ordering less qty of Lechon Habanero. Just remember to eat moderately to avoid your batok from popping 😅 The Leche Flan was good but it tasted more custardy to me. Not a fan of their Anchovy Hangar Steak. Our waiter was very polite and accommodating. Hope they open branches to cater more customers. 😊
Raul Benjamin06:18 09/14/22
Having been here twice, the dining experience is swell. Their menu is colorful and would easily satisfy your Filipino food cravings.Prices here are justified by the taste, skill of presentation and of course, taste. Though I suggest that eating here should be saved for a special occasions as the cost of having a full experience oa full meal (appetizer, main course, dessert and drinks) can cost you upwards of 2,000 PHP.They have an open-space dining area; food preparation can take as long as 30 minutes, and the wait time to be seated even longer.The only thing I dislike is that you cannot order in advance or call-in to have a reservation (although given since crowds flock in almost all time of the day).
Encar Vinalay10:37 08/28/22
It's my second time eating here and the quality of the food has not changed. It was a Sunday so we expected that there would be a lot of people. We have our names listed at around 1pm and got to be seated around 4:00 pm. Nonetheless, the food was worth the wait. Can't wait to be back again.
Eliza Alcuizar20:16 07/18/22
EXTREMELY GOODalways on-spot, the food has always been amazing. Their chef is very creative in making their dishes, the desserts are all unique. Staffs are nice but sometimes hard to call due to influx of diners. I dined 4 times in a week here despite coming from the south. Just expect to wait long since there are a lot of people wanting to dine as well.

Service took ages though this is a bit understandable because it was a weekend. The tacos weren’t good. I think the bbq was okay. Cocktails were not good also. The place is crowded and there were small bugs crawling under and on the table. Staff were pleasant even if they were busy.

Food took forever to arrive (more than an hour), and when it finally did, it was not even hot anymore??? Imagine eating a cold medium rare angus tbone and liempo.Food is savory but not worth the wait.

This is an update for our 2nd visit. I am giving them 5 Stars now for the great tasting food and still inexpensive. My husband who is a foreigner approves this place. Just expect crowd to be a bit loud cos thy come in a large group from call centers nearby. But still a good go-to place when you are starving and ypu have a huge appetite. Their Salad isgood for 2 or 3.First visit: Food is good and inexpensive. I just wish the waiters should be wearing face mask. PLEASE as food servers you should be wearing face mask and that is why I only gave them 3 stars. They have a wide selection of food to choose from. Chicken fingers or poppers are just right not too salty. Ceasar salat with tuna is good for 2 or 3 depends how big big your appetite is. Goat Kilawin is okay but not great. Fish tacos and chicken wings are highly recommended. Maybe on our next visit waiters are already wearing face mask.

Lots of food to choose from. Food is good, but serving is a little bit small. They don't have their own toilet, so you have to pay 5php for the common area toilet. Place has very limited parking. Customer service is okay.
Denz Yardan12:23 11/03/19
Food is great. Not to mention the price is reasonable, too! They serve free nuts while you wait for your order. Not so much comment on the ambiance, its a preference, nothing personal. Its airconditioned inside and people have to go out to puff a cigarrette, which is nice.
Archie Noel Chua21:44 01/10/19
Nice place to go if you like to drink, lots of drinks to choose from the drinks list, there is a second floor to accomodate more clients, place is a little bit noisy have to shout a little bit so you could be heard by your friend. Food is also good. Place is under staffed, saw only 3 crew to take order and serve clients. Price ₱₱₱
Trixie Estomata09:44 01/21/18

Came on a lazy, rainy Thursday afternoon. But the staff were not attentive given that they're not busy. One order was not served, and had to go to the counter to get hot water though it was requested in advance. We had their carrot cake and pineapple and ham empanada which tasted superb though .
Aireen07:24 03/20/23
been a fan of Banapple since they had their branch here in Araneta. However, I would say that there was a change with the taste of their food. Yes, the serving size is there, but its not satisfying as before.Staffs were accommodating and friendly. she was able to attend to our request and our food was served at a reasonable time.place was clean and well-maintained.
Jhino Dela Cruz09:54 03/10/23
Not a good branch of Banapple for me.Hicory ribs was bland and meat is so hard to eat, it taste like its been pre-heated from yesterday.
Withname Fonacier06:10 05/08/22
Amazing foods and they serve big portions so their foods are good for sharing already. A bit pricey but worth it. The place is clean, you can pay by card and staffs are attentive and nice. The restroom is also clean.
John Badawi00:42 03/02/22
The banofee cake did not disappoint. I love that it was not overwhelmingly sweet. The buttermilk and beef tapa are both delicious also. Serving is generous. The place has an open/outdoor space which is a good thing if you are COVID paranoid and avoiding closed spaces. Customer service was okay.
Arvyne Nathaniel Tolentino20:16 12/12/21
Their food tastes really good! They also serve big portions which is satisfying for the price you'll pay.Overall I am always impressed with their service and food.I would just suggest to change the tables cause it's not convenient and it's a little shaky and small to eat with.Still, I highly recommend going here.

Buddy's Restaurant infrastructure of Novotel Araneta.this was specifically July 14th supper time.We were on vacation with family. we went back and forth to this restaurant as we heard the food was great. one time we were there, my sister in law asked for a hot tea. the girl in the cash said they don't have. but we ordered the same thing the day before. and so she went to the back, she came back and gave the same thing. so my sister in law asked again as my mother in law can't drink cold. so she took and went back again but hesitantly. when she came back she had the hot tea but there was like a bubble on top, which we thought it's a spit. so my mother in law got disgusted and throw it. we should have taken a picture but she threw right away. and what so obvious is everyone were looking at us.this is unacceptable...so if they're upset with a customer they will just spit on your food!!!!

They have a wide range of choices in their menu and they serve authentic Filipino flavors. Food is delicious, I enjoyed it very much. The location is conveniently located around many establishments and the ambiance inside the place is nice and comfortable. Service is good, the servers even the guard are quite perceptive and helpful. Will definitely visit it again.
Elena Gabrang13:10 03/15/23

Palabok and kare kare had great flavours.However, the bbq chicken was undercooked and the ubod was stale.Service was ok, the atmosphere was very loud. Overall ok place to eat.
John Charlon Fajardo13:15 01/17/20
Great food and you have so many choices that it's hard to order food from the menu. The food taste authentic and serve in a manner appealing to the eyes. The ambiance of the place reminisce the time in an old barrio fiesta. The ambiance makes you want to eat a lot more...
Hubert Neil Angeles00:25 08/19/19
Food was SUPERB! The most Delicious Filipino Cuisine that our Group Tasted! Service was quite good, Ventilation needs improvement. They lack air conditioning in some parts of the room
Jason Dagas10:36 07/09/19
Delicious Authentic Pancit of Lucban, Quezon. Price is very affordable. Best place to have family get together, dates and more. Other foods are also new, fresh and tasty. Highly recommendable.

Judith Segunda Roa21:53 08/01/23
The place is a great place to celebrate happy moments. The service is okay, with staff ever ready to clean up people's mess as one eats.Although there was plenty of raw food to choose from, we were looking for fresh talaba and sugpo, and crabs; we didn't see any.Some food which was already ready to eat was okay, but I have some doubts if they were fresh when cooked.There were not so many people at the time we were there, and the number of staff is a bit okay with their service. I just don't know how the service would be if the place is heaping with people.
Jennie de leon07:54 07/28/23
First time to dine here. Visited the place for our company dinner. I enjoyed it much together with my colleagues.Will definitely be back here to dine again with that special someone.
Condell Ong16:45 05/22/23
Typical foods at a shabu shabu restaurants. Althought I do not like the look or freshness of the raw food for cooking. And the selections are limited now unlike the early years when this was opened. The beef steak carving here is better than what I tasted at the Vikings though. That is a plus.
Eden Izanami14:59 04/17/23
Awesome food and service. My stomach didn't have room for more food, I wish I've could have tried every single dish/dessert this place has to offer.Great environment for family and friends, they even have a special surprise, a small piece of cake, for those who are celebrating their birthday in the current month.
Abcdhyne Soriano08:13 03/28/23
In my case where I have to choose what I eat there are options available for me. Veggies, salads, veggies in hotpot, the salmon, tasted the maki. I tell you though the other sushi options are not appetizing to look at because I think it was exposed a little too long the rice is crusty. Can't tell you the desserts though bec. I haven't tasted it. No sweets for me. Though my friend said the cake was dry. Won't go there again though.
Ynna Francesca Reformado06:57 02/23/23
Very nice and convenient place to celebrate your birthday. 🥳 🎉 There are a lot of delicious foods to choose from. Their staff are also very accommodating 👌🏻
Jasper Tedder07:19 01/13/23
Place was pretty empty by the time we get there at 7pm. We wanted to sit closest to the kitchen but walk in have to sit all the way in the back. Manager (la Arnie) or something shouldn’t be running this restaurant if she doesn’t know how to accommodate customers. Never apologize or had some superiority when she talks to the guest. She is absolutely not going to passed the manager standard in other restaurants. She should make her customers happy upon leaving the restaurant. I asked for corporate number to file complaint but instead she gave me their restaurants number at the place in Araneta city where she works.
Marilou Juanito06:29 08/17/22
It's buffet dining with various dish options and they have hotpot , it's spacious and have rooms exclusive for groups of up to 10 persons.Four Seasons have promos for birthday celebrants and groups.Comfort rooms are clean. There is parking in the same building.

Open anytime, so after work from BPO in cubao, this is our go to place.
Vanjohn Lingao-Lingao12:21 02/02/21
Jerica's is an American-themed restaurant owned by the same owner of Joey's Pares. Here are some points to be taken:1. Their menu is great! So many dishes to choose from- Pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, burgers, chicken bundles, drinks, Party Platters and Breakfast meals2. They offer nice tasting foods. Their prices are justifiable with the quality of food they serve.3. However, their customer service is a bit poor due to long waiting time and incomplete table services such as the basic cleaning.4. The place is humid and most of the time, congested.5. They have no available parking space.
Julian05:15 01/30/21
Hidden Gem in Quezon City, Affordable prices, Delicious food, wide range of varieties, My Go-To for pizza, pasta and burgers. Perfect place for dining out with the family
Rozen Aquino16:59 11/25/20
The place is really nice. The foods are affordable and delicious. But The bathroom has a little bad smell. But overall 5 stars!! Will come again ☺
Mc Ellao05:31 02/12/20
Variety of meals at very affordable price anytime of the day. The price defines the quality of the food. So, do not expect too much. But it was good. The place is not that accessible. And since this is a 24/7 restaurant, the cleanliness of the place is not that good.
Mavin Noz Niad05:29 11/12/18
The food and their prices are pretty good however I have no clue as to why after going through the trouble of plating and presenting the food they only use very cheap plastic cups for their drinks. While you're eating empty cups are just flying everywhere the table, it definitely ruins the experience.
Elen Delfi05:55 06/12/18
The first time I've visited the place, I fell in love with it. The ambience is so nice and cozy. Not so crowded especially we're going there during midnight or early morning after work shift. And the food is a totally budget friendly and absolutely tasty. Yum yum!!!
Kathryn Navarro15:59 03/12/18
Food taste is so-so. You'd usually want to order food from here if you wanna have lotsa serving for a cheap price. Not saying their food is bad... just lower your expectations in food taste so that you wont be disappointed.✔food waiting time doesnt take that long✔surprisingly many servers to attend to your needs✔good ambience✔the condiments were sriracha hot sauce, A1 for their bbq sauceI'd come back to this place in future.
