BABA Street Food — Restaurant in El Nido

Incredible Dining Experience – 10/10!

We stumbled upon this restaurant spontaneously and were absolutely amazed! On our first visit, we had the Bao Mushroom Burger, Bao Smashed Beef Burger, Fried Marinated Chicken, Banana Blossom Dumplings, and Spring Rolls, along with some cocktails. Every single dish was bursting with flavor and incredibly delicious. The cocktails were also top-notch.

One of the absolute highlights was the homemade dip that came with the bao burgers and the fresh-cut fries—an absolute explosion of flavor! We loved the food so much that we came back the very next day.

The entire experience was a perfect 10/10, and the service made it even better. Our server, Joy, was a true ray of sunshine—attentive, friendly, and a pleasure to chat with.

We highly recommend visiting this restaurant—it’s an unforgettable...

Abysmal experience—do yourself a favor and avoid this place!

This restaurant embodies everything wrong with hospitality. Food arrived cold and tasteless, key items were forgotten, and the staff’s condescending attitude when confronted with their failures was outright insulting. Instead of apologizing or making an effort to rectify their mistakes, they doubled down on their arrogance, completely ignoring basic hospitality principles.

My evening here was the absolute low point of my otherwise incredible 5 weeks in the Philippines. If you value your time, money, and mood, I advise you to look elsewhere.

It was a refreshing take on food. It is a quite unique food to try in El Nido. Staff were nice and place is quite relaxing. The food tastes good! My favorite was the sweet potato chips with the aioli dip. Crispy and flavorful!

The bao bun tasted good. Flavor is balanced and matching it with the Kalamansi juice was a good decision. I tried the Mash Burger Bao Bun and it hit the spot for me. Only thing for me is I wish the portion is a bit bigger but that is subjective since I eat a lot. 😁 Overall, 💯...
