Disappointed. Friends thought it was not even close to what adobo is supposed to be. I expected it to be as good as the many raves bloggers I have seen prior to dining here, but instead the adobo was dry and overcooked to the point where you can actually eat the bone. It tasted pretty much like the bone itself.... More

If you're a Balikbayan and have missed Filipino food, try this restaurant out. You will be reminded of how delicious authentic Filipino food truly is. If you also want to introduce someone to Filipino cuisine or re-introduce them, as I did with my husband who was never a big fan, this restaurant represents what everything delicious about our cuisine. It... More

Got to give it to the Larry Cruz chain of restaurants. Consistently good food. Consistently superb service. Their crew are well-trained, I dare say. Next time I have friends from abroad to entertain, I won't experiment with other Restos and simply bring them here instead.

It was my first time to order seafood kare-kare, and it was really good. It doesnt have that "fishy" taste. Place is clean and the service was excellent. I hope they will have free wifi. Prices of food are bit pricey but they have good service size.

they offer typical, all time favourite filipino dishes, and their own specialties like the fish with plum sauce. in addition to the sumptuous food, what made them extraordinary was the way they were served. from juice to vegetables to meat, everything was fresh. the place must have been crowded when we had lunch or the tables are just too close...

We had the crispy roast pork belly, which was AMAZINGLY crispy yet succulent! I was tempted to order a second plate! Also had the seafood kare-kare, which is a curry/peanut based dish, with seafood and local veggies. The Guava soup was good too, although a bit sour. It was like Tom yam soup, minus the chilli

My husband and I were drawn to this place because of the number of tables occupied during the busy lunch hour. We ordered the crispy dilis on white rice, seafood kare kare and the sauteed forest fern and mushrooms. We were very happy with all 3 dishes. The most interesting dish for us was the forest fern because it is... More

We have our dinner here after we watched the Ayala Triangle Christmas Lights show. I ordered the fried calamares for the appetizers, crispy pata and CauliFlower with mushroom for the main course. The Fried calamares are definitely good including the cripsy pata but I tasted better filipino foods. I think C2 has better tasting Cripsy pata. The restaurant pricing is... More

I had stir fried vegetable, and it is nice but quite pricy. The burned pork Satay that completely ruin their anticipated professionalism. When complained, their waiter just said "of course it is grilled food". If so, it means this highly regarded restaurant does not know how to grill Satay. For 6 pieces at 270 pesos, 3 pieces were so burned... More
