Ruby Wong's Godown — Restaurant in Manila

Probably won’t go back. We only enjoyed the atmosphere. Chic interiors and very well thought of. The food was okay, though expectedly overpriced. What I didn’t like was the staff.

We had a reservation through Eatigo. I’m not sure if it’s related to that but the staff and the manager were snobby and not accommodating. We had dinner at the El Atrio lounge and the staff there were super nice. We prepared to drink a lot at Ruby Wong’s, but by how the bar staff treated us, I didn’t want to stay any longer and waste more money. We ended up ordering just a few things. The ambience felt quite pretentious due to the preferencial treatment over paying customers. We asked about some details of the menu, and the manager talked to me like I was some five-year old who doesn’t know anything about alcohol, like it’s too expensive for me. We were celebrating a birthday so it was a bummer.

Maybe the staff and the manager need more training because it’s a new bar. Either way, changes need to happen if you want to keep...

For a fun experience, enter the bar through the Hotel Lobby, through a hidden door behind a bookshelf. Not sure if I should've told you that secret (I'll be looking over my shoulder for Chinese secret agents to hunt me down for spoiling this secret entry).

This is easily my favorite bar in The Philippines and a big recommendation for couples, friends and...

As a guest at the hotel that hosts this "hidden" place, I booked their all-you-can-eat dim sum formula, the price of which is already significant compared to the rates charged in Manila (1488 PHP/pax), especially since the offer covers a selection of their dim sum.

When we arrived at the hidden door, a person from the hotel security prevented us from accessing, without consideration, despite the fact that I confirmed that I had booked.

Despite checking the reservation, no one was there to greet us.

Finally, we were seated and when I indicated that we had booked for the all-you-can-eat dim sum, we were taken out of the room and seated under the access stairs.

I can't say more because given the...
