Let me edit my review and start with this, because locals know they’re being discriminated and your restaurant is partial to your fellow Koreans.
Discriminating Filipinos when you’re operating in the Philippines is Despicable.
Beautiful exterior until you walk in, and not greeted with a welcome, but discriminated for being a Filipino. Your hostess should try to hide her expression better next time.
We sat at a comfortable table and were asked to move to another table farther down the dining area, twice. We refused as we were seated and the table is clear without a reserved sign.
Nobody approached us to take our orders for about 15 mins, pretending to be busy and not attend to us. We had to call the attention of a serve to order.
Risotto arrives. Looks pretty, lacks flavor, more like an arroz caldo.
Next is Pulpo. Tough, with many components on the plate that doesn’t go well. We tasted and placed the plate aside. P795 - a waste.
Then we’re served the ox tail adobo. No color, but tender, but this isn’t an adobo, more like a bland version of Pata Tim. P795 per order. karenderya adobo is better than this a hundred fold.
Last is the Tomahwak Pork Chop. Texture is okay, but has no flavor. The sauce is mostly for aesthetics than pairing for the meat. - 895
A sauce that was served with one of the dishes, a sweet sauce, we used by adding some salt and pepper and more chiles to balance it out, so we can at least have the pork with some flavor.
It’s confusing to have experienced food so bad in a restaurant that’s the highest rated restaurant in Lapu-lapu city. So I went through the reviews and discovered that they offer a discount in exchange for a review and only from Koreans!

Read moreI had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the incredible ambiance - it was the perfect blend of chic and cozy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home.
The service was outstanding - our server was attentive and made excellent recommendations throughout the evening. We started with the mango shrimp and it was simply delicious - tangy and sweet with just the right amount of spice.
For the main course, I ordered the steak and was not disappointed. It was cooked to perfection with a wonderful smoke flavor that perfectly complemented the meat. My partner had the Tteobokki with Calamari and were blown away by the complex and amazing texture - a good fusion of Korean and Filipino cuisines!
Overall, I can't recommend this restaurant enough. From the outstanding service to the incredible ambiance and delectable cuisine, this is a must-visit restaurant for anyone looking for a good...
Read moreAbsolutely loved my first dining experience in Cebu at 7107 Restaurant! The fusion concept of Western and Asian, with Korean and Italian influences, made for a really interesting menu. I had the pleasure of trying the tomato burrata salad (the pineapple was a delightful touch!), the calamari linguine, and the beef loin sea mustard cream risotto.
What truly stood out was the incredible mastery of sauces in each dish. The tomato burrata offered a lovely balance of sweet and savory. The calamari linguine had this fantastic smoky, mustardy, and tangy profile. And the beef loin risotto was so creamy with a unique Asian twist from the crispy fried onion topping.
The staff were very welcoming, and the restaurant had a clean and lively atmosphere – it was about 80% full during my visit. Plus, completing this review even got our table a complimentary chocolate mousse brownie (lightly salted to balance the sweetness)! Definitely a memorable meal and a place I'd recommend...
