Labuyo Native Restaurant — Restaurant in Lapu-Lapu

Giving it 3 stars because they could use some improvement. Went there for Mother's Day and initial reaction was it was great because this place actually had a waiting area just in case you arrived there and the place was full.

In the waiting area you can already take a look at their menu and have one of their staffs take your order which you will then give to one of their waiters when you get in.

The design of the place looks good but they should do something about the congested sound making the place very noisy when the place is full. The sound bounces and I believe they can get experts to have that issue fixed.

Their staffs also communicate with each other through shouting which makes the place even noisier (+ the music is playing.) Imagine a jam packed place full of customers chatting, staffs shouting, and music playing in the background, all of that sound bouncing off that small enclosed space. 🫤

I also do not think they have a proper system and procedure in hand. We were served our meals first and got our beverage midway of our meal. We had to request for even just a glass of water but we had to request and remind a couple of times before we finally had something to drink.

As for the food, it was okay. Their fried rice platter was the best for me. The buttered chicken was too dry though. And the juice was a bit too sweet. We had to water it down. But it was okay. The price is affordable too.

So yeah, that concludes my review. I still see so much potential in the place. It's gram worthy if you're looking for nicely designed restos. They just need to work on staff etiquette and procedure training, sound pollution, and improving some of the food...

I wanted to make a thorough review of this restaurant since there are so many positive reviews without proper context.

1.) Food Food was okay, nothing mind-blowing. We got chop suey, tuna panga, and baked scallops. The tuna panga came with a sweet sauce on top of it. I wish it was mentioned in the menu so I could’ve asked for it to be on the side. The sweet sauce ruined the flavor of the tuna. The baked scallops came to our table cold which was weird. Chop suey was okay, hard to mess that one up anyway. We also ordered the mango halo-halo for dessert. It was good, but it’s basically sulbing - not halo-halo.

2.) Service There are a bunch of servers crowding in the register area, but even when we walked in, I had to greet them first since their eyes seemed to be avoiding us. It was odd. I still remember the server’s name (the person I greeted good evening but didn’t greet me back and just turned her back on me)but I don’t want to get her in trouble. It’s not that deep. People have bad days.

It might be hard to get the servers’ attention once you’re seated too especially if you’re seated in the corner.

3.) Atmosphere The restaurant has a kulob smell. It could be from their nipa-hut style interior. There’s also smoke coming from the kitchen.

The restaurant isn’t terrible, but it...
