Food was great! Yay for Parking! Their staff were also nice and funny 😂
Mikael Jiang11:42 03/06/23
Very spacious and the food was great! Unfortunately the service wasn’t the most professional and it took a while to get the bill, even tho it wasn’t that full.

📌 Moon Rabbit Cafe and Restaurant, San Juan⭐️ 3 / 5🚨 The event costs 500 pesos per head - inclusive of dumpling appetizer, choice of one main, rice and drinks…. We added additional order of fried baby squid, salted egg shrimp and dessert - their famous rabbit panacotta 🐇 they also have a coffee shop inside - place was cozy, clean and with ample parking space💰quite pricey, even if you come here as a walk in customer (minus the event), their main dishes usually cost around 350-500+ for a very small serving. Taste is good but serving portions could have been improved.Total bill: 3300 php for 4 pax🐶 NOT PET FRIENDLY ❌🚗 Spacious parking slots
Aireen07:52 10/12/22
2nd time here, HoyoFestPH also took place here last year, and it's a nice place for events like this.I would say that they have fewer decor outside compared last year but they have just enough inside.Space is well lit.Staffs were really nice and approachable. They made sure to inform(numbering system for walk-ins and reservations), accomodate and serve us well.As for the food, last year's food is better. But the Panna Cotta 🐇 is a must try. ❤️🅿️ Parking is available
Flor10:14 10/06/22
Attended the hoyofest event. Decor is superb, staff is so so nice and accommodating, themed food tastes okay. Well, good, but not something I'll go back to. The ambiance of the place is good despite the space being small. Overall, Moon Rabbit is a very good host.
Micaela de Guzman12:24 06/12/22
It’s my third time here but first time to leave a review. Loved the reasonably priced Chinese food. Nice ambiance and spacious parking! Will try the coffee next time
黄汉清13:52 02/28/22
Cozy place, great for a relaxing quiet time alone or a wholesome meal with family. Good food, ample parking, clean place. I have yet to try the Cafe. Will definitely be back!!
Roxx Villadolid16:56 11/29/21
Went for the HOYO FEST at around 5PM. The place is nice and very welcoming, staff are also great too.As for the food I ordered, I was not particularly fond of it. I felt like it was too small of a serving, and although the fish was tender, it had bones which I did not saw (and some ended up getting wedged in my teeth). :(Overall though, I understand that the event may have been a factor on the food, so I would love to go back to try their normal menu. Will update this review by then! 🙂

Laksa is outstanding. The broth is delicious and perfectly seasoned. The ingredients were plenty. We also ordered extra fish tofu, fresh juice, and black and white gulaman.The place has plenty of tables but limited parking. Staff is friendly and accommodating
Jasper Tan11:31 06/11/23
Food ordered:Steamboat, Mix stir fried Vegetables and Nasi Goreng.I've never eaten authentic Singaporean-Malaysian food however, I loved their Nasi Goreng and the Veggies was nice, as for the Steamboat, it was good but nothing special about it.Overall, I recommend this place if you're craving for Singapore-Malaysian food.
Pola Garcia02:58 04/17/23
Went here before with my family and just tried it again after many years. Laksa is still top notch. Free soup refills are amazing. My fiance loved it he decided to bring his coworkers here. Great price fast service and homey vibe

We went here for lunch yesterday. We arrived a little bit past 11am there were no Diners.We ordered the followingRoti with Condensed Milk (P60)Singapore LaksaHainanese Chicken (P280)Sugar Cane JuiceGuyabano Juice/ShakeThe Roti was okay but we should have requested for it to be toasted more.The Singapore Laksa was Good.The Hainanese Chicken was good too.The Sugar Cane juice did not taste fresh, there was a funny taste. We suspect that the Sugar Cane used was not fresh.Overall it was an Okay Lunch, service cpuld have been better though.
Miguel Buna13:51 02/18/23
The laksa soup is perfect! Love the coconut taste and serving is plentiful with unlimited refill of soup.
Ramon Saliganan04:33 02/18/23
Diner vibes with awesome food!!The laksa is to die for. The right amount of richness with a slight kick to savor. The rotti with condensed milk is spectacular; be sure to eat before it gets cold.Also tried odendama at crab fingers, little things to lift you high!The atmosphere is relaxing, you can really enjoy your food.This is highly recommended!!

Ian06:32 06/26/23
If you're looking for a quiet place with great food and perfect ambience, visit Tomo cafe. They start serving @ 5:30pm. The place gets full quite quickly
A P Y14:03 05/15/23
We enjoyed our lunch here at Tomo, sashimi were fresh and tasty. They really serve the good kind.The kinoko salmon wafuu pasta was really good. It was just the right amount of cream and the salmon was not too overpowering.We enjoyed all the teppanyaki dishes, mapapakanin ka talaga. I think we ordered like more than 10 dishes we are a group of 8 adults and 4 kids but we finished all orders, walang tira. We ordered 2 of each kind of some orders. Simot lahat. Either small serving or all of our orders were really good. 🤣Order Frozen Brazo to cap your meal with something sweet. The Frozen Brazo was really good.They have a cafe right next to the resto and you may order food from there too.
Kristine Cruz11:16 05/14/23
Service: For the most part, service was fine. However, one particular server thought I didn't hear her when she made a "funny comment" to her co-worker after serving me dessert. I was the first one in our party to arrive so I wanted to try the frozen brazo before everyone else arrived and ordered lunch. When she served the slice, she immediately whispered to the other server "dessert agad?" in a mocking, judgemental and disrespectful tone. I was nothing but polite to everyone before then, so I have no idea where the attitude came from. If she wanted to make comments like that, I think she should have waited until she stepped further away. I stared at her to show that I heard her, and she turned her back in what I hope was embarrassment. Even her co-driver looked away agad.Atmosphere: We ate here for lunch and the direct light on top of us made the already hot summer temps feel even warmer. The lights were way too bright and strong for daytime.Food: The tempura gozen was great value. I would order it again, except I won't come back here because of the service.
Chip Esguerra15:55 02/15/23
Food was great!!! Especially the oysters - very similar to Haru's oyster dish as well (same chef). If you're looking for a good spot for your Japanese fix them this is your place.I was just a bit underwhelmed with the ambiance and in-store experience. The restaurant has this 'wow' factor upon entering with the Koi pond and the sprawling front yard but the inside just seemed a bit uninspired and not well thought of. It was disappointing to see the lack of effort in trying to complete the whole Japanese restaurant experience especially since their food is top-notch.
Dion Santos07:05 02/07/23
Do not attempt to bring your car on busy days and nights as this is just an old house converted to a restaurant so expect limited parking space. The food was overall your standard Japanese quality restaurant very good but not worth the effort to go to unless you live near the area. Thread carefully unless you want to get stuck in traffic.
Earlene Ang09:37 10/15/22
This was my first time visiting Tomo Japanese Dining. It’s a big place with parking inside and street parking as well. I’d advise to book reservations if you’d like to visit this restaurant.The service was very good, and the staff were very courteous. Notable dishes were the soft shell crab, kaki cheese yaki (oysters with cheese), and hamachi (yellow tail) sashimi. Enjoyed the soft shell crab the most.There’s a function room at the back too and a cafe. Cafe looked cute too!
Tara Cabullo14:14 10/02/22
The place is surprisingly huge inside 👌🏼 Has ample outdoor seating and is pretty full!✅ Kaki Kari Yaki so so so Good✅ Fresh Salmon Sashimi✅ Yummy Kani Salad✅ Yummmm Uni✅ Pretty Good TempuraHad the Spicy Tuna Salad as well, baked oysters, hamachi and mackerel and everything Was Yummy! Great Service.Private room has consumable amount PHP 8K
Hannah Vera Cruz17:42 03/18/22
Great place! It's surprisingly big inside and the ambiance is perfect for family and friends - even dates. They have 2 restaurants inside and have outdoor seating too. Food is a bit pricey but I'd say it's worth it for the taste and quality. The menu here is actually for Verse, but they have a more extensive menu at Tomo.
Paris London08:52 02/01/22
High quality Japanese food. Fresh sashimi and many variety. Consistent serving so far. Very satisfied customer.They have alfresco dining now and a few parking space.

Jeff Villanueva08:54 07/30/23
Good ambiance, even greater is the food. It brings back memories of my mom's specialties combined with the touch of today's tasteful delights!!A great experience worth coming back to..
Aileen Respicio (Hailey C)04:59 07/15/23
Very homey vibes but with an exceptional spread of Filipino food! My friend mentioned Guevara's to me more than 10 years ago but took only a chance this year because it was hard to book every time we went back to PH. So my only tip is to book in advance for big parties! You'll have to wear a mask too while in the buffet area so make sure you bring a mask. The seating is semi private because each group/party is in their own private room.
oliver gabriel09:48 07/02/23
The food is not so extravagant and given it's price, I was expecting for more food options but it's really limited. I love their sweets and my favorite is their tapa. The place is cozy and clean. The crews look great in their uniforms and they take your used plates promptly.
Tony C01:55 05/26/23
Best buffet in Manila. Local cuisines is a notch after many high price restaurants. Vikings has no competition with Guevarra. Guevarra buffet lines are smaller than Vikings but taste and value is far above . Went to Vikings once and have no desire to go back. Don't get me wrong, Vikings is not bad. Guevarra is best, went back 3 times in 10 days. Even if it is same price as Vikings, I would repeat my visits. But is is cheaper and much better. Good job chef G
G _shoppes08:36 04/21/23
Perfect 🤩The food, the atmosphere, the cleanliness of the place from dining to toilet, the house music, the staff service... what can you asked for?!? Twas a great experienced and will surely come back for more!Food taste are well balanced.Desserts are not too sweet and far much better from others.Drinks has a lot of options -- from lemon ice tea to red ice tea to peach lemonade to cucumber juice to water.
Benjamin Violago15:32 04/09/23
Food and service is awesome as always. Regardless of how many times we went there the quality of their food and service is always consistently great. Their roast beef is as always the star of the show. It's the reason why we have to go back there several times now. Their spread may not be as wide as other buffets like vikings but they make up for it with their top notch food quality, their staff's awesomeness and the venue's homey vibes
Jonalyn Galamgam14:02 03/05/23
We recently dined at Chef Laudico Guevarra's buffet restaurant and was blown away by the delicious and diverse range of dishes on offer. From fresh breads to sushi, and Filipino favorites, there was truly something for everyone. One of the highlights for me were the unusual and creative desserts with names that caught my attention, but most importantly, tasted heavenly. The quality of the food was exceptional and it was clear that a great deal of care and attention went into each dish.Aside from the food, I was also impressed by the atmosphere of the restaurant. The interiors were tastefully designed with a mix of traditional and modern elements, creating a welcoming and comfortable ambiance. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive dining experience.Overall, Chef Laudico Guevarra's buffet restaurant is definitely worth a visit for those looking for a diverse and delicious dining experience. The quality of the food and the creativity in the dessert selections were particularly impressive. The restaurant's atmosphere and friendly staff added to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.PS. It would be better to have a reservation and be sure to arrive 15 mins before the time. We have waited for about 15 mins to park.
Anne Fernando11:29 09/11/22
A relative celebrated birthday here and got invited for the breakfast buffet. All in all, this place has value for money because most of the breakfast dishes tasted good. The best ones for me were arroz caldo and beef tapa (savory and not sweet profile).Staff was also very accommodating and even told us that we can avail of their 3+1 promo for the month of August.
Loiza Dailisan14:02 05/05/22
The parking was spacious.Kudos also because they have appointment basis or reservation.The ambiance of place is very homey.There is a wide variety of Filipino food to choose from.My favorite was their Angus Tapa and Banoffee! 1000/10!

The food is one of the best taste that you can afford for the fair price, but the services is a little bit disappointment no in house water pitcher that you can borrow and the staff are not attentive very well, i request for my bills check and i need to wait atleast 45mins.
Zallei Go08:48 07/22/23
Located at the center commercial area of San Juan City. So far the food is quite affordable and the soup is delicious. No improvement in terms of food quality.
VIT Admin Support23:20 01/18/23
I dine here almost weekly because of the good taste of food. Service is commendable.
Ronald Orosco (Ronnie)14:55 11/03/22
Great food and affordable. Pares tendon is the best! And also the siomai.
Stan06:16 08/06/22
For the last 7 years, I make it a point to drop by this branch whenever I'm in San Juan. I've seen changes from employees and even their uniforms. On my visit today, lunch time of August 2022, I'm a bit saddened with the noticeable change in the taste as well. Something definitely changed with the style or maybe with the recipe. Serving is fine, the place has the same nostalgic vibe. I'll look forward to coming back to this place and hoping they find a way to get the old classic taste.
Alvaro “Liro”14:32 05/18/22
Yes to everything that is this place. Nothing but good things to say about it - taste, serving, service, price. Pares is what pares is, rarely does the taste vary so you know what you’re going to get here but what’s amazing is that the front crew of 3 do an amazing job of being efficient, attentive and joyful even during peak dinner time. Plus we ordered so much and yet it only took less than 10 minutes to be served and leas than 500 pesos to be paid. I’d definitely go here again for the experience alone.
Claudine Mina08:40 04/19/22
Visited during the holy week because my dad keeps on raving that they have the best pares he's had in the Metro and I do agree that their pares is great and reasonably priced too! Tried the other dishes as well - Supermami and a short order of fried chicken. The food was great and very comforting. Not too crowded when we visited but I heard that it gets pretty crowded on regular days. Frequented by bike and motorcycle riders. Can't say too much about the service, nothing was exceptionally good but nothing went bad. Overall had a wonderful experience.

10/10 ⭐The best Laksa I've ever tasted. Not too creamy unlike what other Resto offers. For only ₱305 it's already good for 2. Service is okay, meets expectations, the ambience of the place is okay too. Been hunting this place for years and glad we're able to come back.
Kit Parco09:26 01/13/23
The staff are friendly. The parking area is not that big. Check your utensils for stains first before eating because we got some with food debris. They need to wash everything thoroughly. Fast-paced restaurant environment.Sadly, some food was not available. It gets crowded at night, especially during weekends. There are changes on their price.
Jason King13:14 11/09/22
Still ok. The balls on sticks were noticeably smaller. Laksa still great but getting pricier. Steamed dimsum is overpriced but delicious. Place is a bit chaotic. Not very clean. Dishes and utensils are all wet. Menus were dirty and old.
M Yu11:52 10/30/22
The food are all amazing. They have a lot of choices and we would like to go back to try their other dishes.Their claypot rice bowl were so good. The meat was so tender. Their laksa is really flavorful. These are their bestsellers but don't be afraid to try their other dishes.Even the place was really busy - their servers are still very attentive. Big shout out to them!Would love to be back.

Kenneth Go09:55 09/01/19
Parking in front of the restaurant could probably accommodate around 14 cars at a time. Place is spacious and air conditioned.The wait staff are fast and rather stoic. They're quite busy, darting here and there so sometimes they won't notice you calling. They are quite reserved but very friendly, so I was wondering that if I become a regular, they might open up. 🤔 Well, as of the moment, this is my first visit and hence my first impression. 😁The menu is quite varied so I had a hard time picking out my drink alone, so i just went for the ever dependable Iced Tea. It's well blended and the sweetness just right. The kitchen is fast as our orders started coming in less than 5 minutes after we ordered and the additional dishes we ordered came out pretty fast too. I have no complaints with the food. Serving size is ample and moderately priced. The taste is ok and I have yet to sample more of the food. Dessert wasn't available that day though.

Justin Dy (Tsubasa Hanekawa)09:22 07/26/23
The food was very good. Highlights have to be the Gambas, Salpicao and most of all their bread. 140 pesos gets you 4 pieces of some of the best malungay bread ive had. Definetly a must try. The mains were good but not exceptional. Some of them did take time to make especially the fish with caper sauce. The price however was very reasonable. Overall 4/5
Da Ra16:02 06/11/23
Understand why food seems to be hit or miss here. Students will be cooking your food since culinary school next door. So, it’s like getting a haircut at a barber school. Although, you may be finding yourself paying full price here. Would not be as much of a problem if senior students would be at forefront cooking & training. Be only chance of scoring a Michelin. Naturally, the affinity is on the local dishes. Found the lechon kawali fried to perfection, sisig, & mango royale, a sort of mango strudel, to score high marks.
dante sibug07:15 05/04/23
We had a buffet lunch. Ambiance was old Manila which reminded me of my younger days with my relatives in their old house. Service was exceptional. Parking is a challenge since it's also a culinary school and the slots were mostly occupied by the students and teachers.
X206:45 03/07/23
Food is good. The lengua and paella are tasty and filling. They should place candles on tables to remove the haunted house feeling.
Jose Noel Santiago08:11 08/15/22
Location is better than the previous location and with more parking slots.Dining area is decidedly larger now with several salons that may be closed off for private events.Food though may do with more variety and seasoning
Ryan Gillego17:56 07/26/22
Lovely lunch buffet selection. Not overwhelming, just the right selection of mains, salads, pasta and desserts.
Nikitas Place02:12 06/30/22
My niece was raving about this restaurant as she is from San Juan. It is horrible !!!! First the way they serve food is like being in a Karinderia or Karinderia customer service is better. No cordial greetings , no proper placements of silverware and they don’t ask about the food.I ordered hamburger and fries. The burger is burned dry overcooked worst nothing with it but MUSTARD…My niece ordered the so called Angus steak. It is horrible worst than dried TAPA… Jyst order tapsilog …The league is really good..
Jason Dagas02:58 11/22/19
Great place for fine class dining. Place is cozy, good lighting and very clean. Staffs are attentive and approachable, place has an ample parking space for customers. Their pasta is very delicious and highly recommendable. Great restaurant to return to.
J Lim15:25 05/01/19
We used to go to Cafe Ysabel's old location along P. Guevarra quite often. Goodness knows why we took so long to drop by the new location even though it's been open for a year. For us, the food is just as good as we remember, and the new restaurant is just as inviting.Pictured are the strawberry shortcake, steak ala pobre and caesar salad. We'll definitely be back.
Geraldine Cruz Linchangco07:58 04/23/19
Café Ysabel may have moved but it still serves food we have been used to in the 80s. The ambiance is still perfect for those romantic dates with your significant other. It is also a great place to dine with family or hang out with friends.Even milestone events are still celebrated here just like in the 80s! I still remember attending several birthdays or debuts here.I have had the opportunity and pleasure of styling the place for a recent baptismal celebration. I found the ambiance perfect as it is and made use of their wooden tables as is with just a runner and lots of lovely flowers!Lovely place, accommodating people and if you're lucky you may even run into Chef Gene Gonzalez! 😉😊👍💙

One of our favorite restaurants in San Juan. Place recently expanded so space is much more comfortable than it used to be.Food is great as always, pricing very reasonable considering the quality of the food. No shortcuts or anything to compromise the menu. Only gripe, which is likely a personal preference, is that the sauces don't seem to pair well with the yakitori menu, but you can opt not to use them as I do hehe.Parking is always a bit of a challenge especially during peak hours, usually there is a parking attendant somewhere waiting to guide you.

Loved the food. Nice portions and great tasting.Sitting and tables are quite tight and can't accommodate everyone which means reservation is in order or take your chances if there's no waiting line.Overall, still a great affordable place to dine and unwind.

Their chirashi don is a jack of all trades. If you wanna try every bit of sashimi and still have a full meal, this is the order to pick!I had difficulty eating their maki because I didn't know they were spicy, but the sashimi slices were huge!Food was worth the price and service was excellent. Even the owner is around to help, which shows how well-cared the restaurant is!They also served us a complementary salmon skin while waiting for our order, as it was a busy time (Saturday dinner).After the experience of eating here, I now understand why my friends want to return to this place over and over again.

Good izakaya place in the area where you can hang out. They offer great selection of snacks and drinks. Parking is very limited.

This is my go to place for quick, good, Japanese food. Price is a little on the high side but nothing unreasonable.From the rolls to the kushiyaki to the oysters, everything I've tried has been good so far. And the sauces pair exceedingly well with their menu.

Tori-Tori is an Izakaya in Manila that really makes you feel like you’re in Japan. The place is small but not in a suffocating sort of way and the dishes aren’t too expensive. They’ve got lots of promos for drinks so would recommend to fellow lovers of alcohol! Gyoza was good and drinking a round of sake was pretty fun!
Earlene Ang03:38 11/01/22
Tori Tori is that hole-in-the-wall Japanese nook. It’s usually full at dinner time, so make reservations to avoid the long wait. Food is okay. Place is clean, and servers are attentive. Food is affordable with sushi ranging from 280 to 400.It’s a chill day drinking place with buy 1 get 1 beer at P99. You can also order from Tori Tori through Grabfood or by calling up the restaurant.
Candy15:35 08/02/22
I would like to give 10 stars for the staff and food. Reasonable price and the place is very clean. Take note if you come at around 4+ there will be lots of people waiting outside. And you might not have parking as well. So suggestion ko will be come at lunch time they open at 11. :)Their spicy salmon, saba, maki rolls are the best. Way better than the one in makati "little t****" 🤣

Except for the grilled pork, I like everything else that we ordered. This is actually the second time I ate at this restaurant where we celebrated my parents' wedding anniversary.Baked oysters are 50 a piece.Never miss Buy 1 Get 1 deals on beers when dining.

Suprisingly the food cost here is so affordable. Paid 100php or 2usd for a pancit canton and its good for two person. The cucumber juice is good! Located in SanJuan. Metro manila. The place unfortunately does not have a customers parking. Also it will be quite busy in the afternoon. The place is well known and it will be full by dinner time. Take out available.
Gino Araullo14:06 06/11/23
Affordable and quality food are what we've known Greysons for the longest time for, and they certainly uphold that standard. Great place to visit and have a nice dinner with friends.
Melton Braim01:31 06/04/23
The place is dirty. Food is not good, siomai is pure extender. But the food is affordable.
Bong “PotpotFinds”15:02 03/06/23
Greysons, San Juan is easy to find. This is the 1st Greysons in f im not mistaken 😉Pros: Food is budget friendly, has many tables for customers. Many students and office employees dine here. Must try is their drinks, we specially liked the cucumber. Open & closed area available. Has good, friendly & attentive staff.Cons: parking is tricky, has limited area. So you will be parking aling the street with limited number (5-6 vehicles max). Food is ok, good. But can be better. A bit hot in the afternoon, but is manageable.Overall it is good, lalo na if you are looking for a budget friendly dining & occasion celebration. Still a good place to dine 👍🏼
Oliver John Fernando09:24 02/23/23
Great place, nice food, good experience
Evita Daan01:28 10/06/22
You will appreciate the affordability of the food and drinks. The noodles are not too salty. It is not air-conditioned but the place is well ventilated. The staff are courteous and responsive to all the customer's needs. I give it 2 stars for cleanliness of the place.The only problem is the parking area. No parking at all as it is along the street. Better go here using public transportation.
Tito Roxas03:45 08/13/22
place is a bit difficult to find especially for those who commute. parking is along the street but car owners should be aware of regular road clearing operations. staff are very nice. service is fast. food is good for sharing. generous serving. I've tried spareribs with rice and seafood chopsuey which i find very delicious. i would rate this five stars. the pancit canton is simply okay. disappointed that all beef products are not available (beef brisket & beef wonton) during the time i was there.

Food is amazing here. Must tru the original carbonara and truffle pizza. Do note that service takes a bit of time here but the food is worth the wait.
Jasper Tan11:23 06/11/23
We stumbled upon this resto when we were looking for a place to have a nightcap.Their Avocado Sans Rival was delightful, however it wasn't spectacular but, the garlic chorizo pizza was amazing, the crust was crunchy and you can taste the chorizo. Overall, this place is highly recommended.
C Damian11:13 06/07/23
Reserved their function room for a bridal shower. Very good food and service. Would book this place again!

I nearly passed out when the "Tower Panini" was placed on the table!! A house restaurantin the afternoon. The inside is spacious,and if you line up the tables, you can have a small party. It seems that there is also a terrace seat. The "Tower Panini" was taken out whilethe clerk chuckled.All the food looked delicious.The signature Italian dessert, tiramisu, is also hard to throw away! When should I come next time ?
Myles Chuahiock09:10 01/15/23
Francesco’s is a good restaurant. Salad was good and so was the pizza. Pork chop was also quite good. Tastes like a traditional Italian restaurant with good servings.
Earlene Ang13:17 12/19/22
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.I began my meal with a delicious Parma Pizza. The pizza was topped with a generous amount of mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and fresh arugula, and the crust was perfectly thin and crispy. It was truly one of the best pizzas I have ever had.For my main course, I had the Salciccia di Penne dish. It was a flavorful combination of sausage, mushrooms, and penne in a creamy tomato sauce. The sausage was wonderfully spiced and the mushrooms added a nice earthy flavor. The portion size was generous, and I was very satisfied with my meal. My only comment is that it was too creamy for my taste.Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Francesco’s. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian meal.
Emil Sarmiento22:47 10/17/22
Really nice food. A great hidden spot worth visiting again. Mushroom Risotto was a favorite.

Lovely food and good service, it's a pretty big place but you should still book in advance. There's some food that you can only have during lunch or some food you have to order in advance so I suggest also looking at the menu in advance.
Jen Chua04:05 05/08/23
Chinese fine dining with a modern twist. Food is really good with not much of a heavy taste afterwards. Love the crispy rice and seafood soup, it's not something you can try in other chinese restaurants. A light start to your meal. Their US beef ribs is also good and live lapu lapu in light soy sauce. Cooked just right.
Melanie Ann Brooks16:30 05/07/23
We had big time hesitations about this place, after all it said fine dining,but we took the chance amd thankful we did. The restaurant was bright,clean and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. The staff were very polite,helpful. Kudos to the manager named Ryan,checking up on us if we enjoyed our food. The food was large servings,delicious,clean to the palate,presented well. Although pricey but everything is nowadays. But with the portion servings I think it wasn't so bad. Will definitely come back. Maybe try the dimsum lunch. By the way..the Buchi was the best I've tried..kudos to the chef..and the rest of the team.good job.keep it up.
Jennifer Dreyfus02:39 03/22/23

We celebrated my sister birthday here. The place is nice, the only problem is the limited parking space. They have a parking area opposite the restaurant, but it also gets full. The food was great.
Maribel Chua09:29 07/25/22
Lip-smacking delicious Chinese-fusion food. Xiu only offer single portion size in their menu. And their very lean Char Siu Pork is just perfect.
Michael Louie Lim14:28 03/02/22
Amazing food exprience.OrderedPecking Duck, Sharkfin with Chicken, and Spare ribs.Good and fast service.Suggestion: Music would be nice to have with the elegant design of the room.
