Inang Dorie's Kainan sa Kubo — Restaurant in Cabuyao

This place serves a Filipino buffet that’s simple and straightforward—none of the dishes really stand out individually, but together they make for a hearty and satisfying meal. It’s all comfort food, no frills, no gimmicks. At under 500 pesos per head, it’s a pretty good deal.

The setting is nice too. The restaurant is open-air with a view of the hills, which adds to the relaxing vibe. It can get a bit warm on hot days since there’s no air conditioning, but being in Tagaytay, it usually stays pleasant. I imagine it’s especially cozy on a rainy afternoon. There’s also plenty of parking inside the compound, which is always appreciated.

Here’s what was on the buffet spread during our visit:

Main Dishes: • Longganisa • Dinuguan • Pancit Canton • Homemade Corned Beef • Bulalugaw • Tofu Sisig • Bagnet • Chicken Curry • Sautéed Ampalaya • Monggo • White Rice

Fruits: • Watermelon • Singkamas

Filipino Desserts: • Bilo-bilo • Palitaw • Sweetened Saba • Sweetened Kamote • Ginataang Ube • Biko

Drinks: • Powdered Red Tea • Powdered Pineapple Juice • Brewed Coffee

Overall, it’s a nice place to enjoy a laid-back Filipino buffet with a view. Don’t expect anything fancy, but if you’re after comfort food in a chill setting, it...

Overrated as food is so-so. Pwede na kung gutom ka, pero di mo babalik-balikan. Not much selections to choose from too. The highlight was the crispy bagnet, but it's just way too fried that it became hard to chew on. Kulang lang din sa alat but taste is subjective anyway.

Matabang melon juice -too diluted with water at pansit canton, hays.

Flies were all over the place, even on top of food in buffet trays. Nakaka-turn off talaga, hope they do something about this.

We were also required to pay a downpayment fee of 1K for a brunch buffet for 5 pax, which was fine since it was paid through Gcash. Upon getting there though, we had to fall in line behind guests who were to dine as walk-in guests. Point is, sayang sa oras at planning kasi dapat separate yung line ng may reservation sa walk-in.

Servers who buss out were polite though, something to highlight kasi in some establishments kitang-kita mo yung pagod nila pero sila sobrang polite and good vibe lang mararamdaman...

My husband and I went here for lunch to celebrate Valentine's Day, today 02/14/2024. However, just want to report my experience on the food we ordered. Chopsuey had a big fly in it along with the veggies. Showed it to the male Service crew. Sizzling Tofu is not sizzling as it should be. It was cold, sad to say. Lechon kawali is hard to bite except from being cold and not freshly fried. Foods we ordered are all not even warm and I believe they were all not freshly cooked. I did not ask to change the Chopsuey but another one was served though we did not consume it, however, it was included in the charges/bill (that's fine). Except from non-availability of some of your best-sellers, service is poor as it took more than half an hour for the food to be served, and cold (not worth the wait), except the bulalugaw. Pls. do something on these points. There is always room for...
