Balajadia Kitchenette — Restaurant in Baguio

Location: located at slaughter house near known restaurants such as Bakareta. However, expect traffic at most times especially peak hours and lunch times. (3.5/5)

Place: interiors is just right, like a classic baguio resto. A little bit cramped during ny visit (full house). Definitely requires to have an overall renovation to get rid of the built smell over the years of operation. Parking is also cramped - one way in one way out.(2.5/5)

Food: Our orders were all tasty and delicious. Have all the perfect amount of seasonings and recipe. Serving size's a little bit small for its price but complimented by the taste. (4.5/5)

Service: Waiters and servers are definitely accomodating, but sometimes might just ignore you when place is full and busy. Must have a system inside the restaurant. I would also like to pinpoint the importance of giving out receipts to customers not just plain computation and payments. (3.5/5)

Price: not all can afford it but definitely justified by the food's taste. (4/5)

Overall: Good experience but there are still rooms for...

We've been visiting Baguio since I was a kid, but this was my first time trying Balajadia Kitchenette—and even my first time venturing into the Slaughterhouse area for some good Bulalo.

The staff were friendly and easy to approach, which added to the overall experience. It was a truly enjoyable and memorable first visit to Balajadia Kitchenette—and definitely...

We ended up at this restaurant as a second choice after our usual spot ran out of popular items. From the moment we arrived, we were met with a very warm greeting from the staff, who were consistently great and professional throughout our visit. The ambiance was truly amazing, with a distinct anime and bamboo theme that created a wonderfully Asian atmosphere. However, the experience hit a snag with the food. While the staff and decor were top-notch, several menu items were unavailable, and the dishes we did order were quite basic. Compounding this, the portions were small, especially considering the sky-high prices. Despite these culinary drawbacks, we still managed to have a great time, largely due to the excellent service and inviting environment. Personally, though, given the value proposition, I wouldn't return here, not even as a...
