visited ikabud sm city clark branch,, and it was mixed reactions. Like any other establishments, there are ups and downs... First of, since t'was weekends, a lot of guests are there.. Staffs were upfront and will tell you honestly the waiting time and they will give you an option to pre order your food, to maximize the waiting time til you get seats (if you agree to wait the next vacancy).. Staffs are accommodating and they welcome the guests with a smile. Food, my girlfriend loves the karekare lechon kawali.. As per her, it has a perfect mix.. i ordered fried calamari, it has a good taste but was served cold.. im not sure if it was seated in the counter for sometime already or whatnot... It could've been better if it was served hot... we also got sisig bangus, this i loved. the freshness of the milk fish along with the onions and peppers is refreshing. I can say it is not the usual sisig bangus hence left a wow factor on me... I will definitely order it again if i will revisit.. their steam rice is poorly served, they use low quality rice 😒
anyhow, it was a good experience... Overall im good with...
Read morewe've been coming here for 6 years me and my family, cause we like their food. but yesterday while we were eating lunch there we found a NAIL poking that baby squid! the bus boy/kuya attending the tables said "sorry" so many times which is fine but he shouldn't be the one to apologize cause he didn't cooked it. (he said it's probably from catching it) we didn't want to cause them a scene so my boyfriend let it slide, but seriously? there should've been a scene cause this is DANGEROUS! what if we SWALLOWED THAT? WHAT IF MY 5 Y/O DID? WHAT IF ONE OF US DID? THAT IS SO UNSAFE, I think whoever was responsible for that should've came and spoke to us but they didn't which is so IRRESPONSIBLE! NOBODY CAME and spoke to us other than the server. that was a serious matter, the manager or the cook could've come forward! also they didn't deduct anything,we still paid for everything. IF YOURE GONNA EAT HERE? BE VERY CAREFUL AND LOOK AT YOUR FOOD CAREFULLY. CAUSE IF THIS HAPPENED TO US, IT COULD...
Read moreIkabud at SM City Clark is a nice go-to spot for Kapampangan and Filipino comfort food. The menu has a wide variety of local favorites, and servings are quite generous.
We tried the Bicol Express, which had a good balance of spice and creaminess, perfect with rice. The Sinigang na Liempo leaned a bit more on the sour side than expected, but still comforting if you enjoy a stronger tamarind flavor.
The restaurant has a casual, family-friendly vibe, making it a good place for group gatherings or even celebrating birthdays. Service is fairly attentive, and prices are reasonable considering the serving size and taste.
Overall, Ikabud is a solid choice when you’re craving Filipino dishes while at SM Clark, with a few standouts worth...
