Manila Grill Filipino -Japanese Restaurant Christchurch — Restaurant in Christchurch

Edit: For my daughter's birthday, we ordered a selection of food. We tried messaging via Facebook, but received no response. Eventually, we decided to call and place the order a few weeks before the big event. However, when the specified time came, the meal wasn't ready, which I believe was a miscommunication error on their part. Despite enjoying the food, I find it difficult to recommend ordering over the phone in advance due to my negative experience. As a result, we ended up going to the fish and chip shop beside them, which worked out alright in the end! But still never good for a restaurant to completely forget a large order in advance.

Inital review: Came here for a selection of Filipino foods for dinner the other evening. We really enjoyed our taste of the Philippines. My favourite was the Pork and Chicken Adobo. I would happily come...

WARNING TO ALL: If I could give no star I would but unfortunately google doesn’t allow. Went in there today and as soon as we walked in we were greeted by this waitress that was very rude. When she sat us, she said it in a very rude way and made us feel unwelcome. When she was scanning our vaccine passes, I confronted her asking if she was mad because her attitude towards us was not okay and her answers were ‘No, how would you like me to act?’, ‘We’re busy that’s why I am acting like this.’ I was appalled and thought to myself that if she didn’t know how to be kind and welcoming as a host, then she shouldn’t be working there. Regardless of how busy a restaurant is, the hosts attitude shouldn’t depend on this. I probably won’t come back there anytime soon, go somewhere else people, Sari Sari is only 5 min drive away...

Manila Grill stands out as one of the top Filipino restaurants in Christchurch, and for good reason! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with the enticing aroma of authentic Filipino cuisine and a warm atmosphere that feels like home.

My personal favorites, the crispy pata and pakbet, never fail to impress with their delicious flavors and perfect execution. Each bite is a delightful journey of taste and texture that leaves me craving more!

What truly sets Manila Grill apart is the exceptional service provided by the courteous staff and the welcoming presence of owners Elena and Albert. Their dedication to ensuring every guest has a memorable dining experience shines through in every interaction.

I highly recommend Manila Grill to anyone looking for an authentic Filipino dining experience in...
