Gugma love, Chef Kai — Restaurant in Panglao

Cozy Vibe and Friendly Service – Food Was Hit or Miss

We came to this restaurant right after a dive since it’s located very close to our dive center — we were hungry and ready to eat! The place has a lovely vacation vibe, with charming decor that clearly shows attention to detail. It’s a casual Asian-fusion spot with a pretty wide menu.

I ordered a popular Filipino national dish, which was actually really flavorful and well done. My friend got a beef soup, but unfortunately, it turned out to be mostly beef skin and fat, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu and wasn’t quite what we expected. He couldn’t eat it, so we returned it — the staff was very understanding and didn’t charge us for it, which we appreciated.

We then ordered an omelette, which was quite good — fresh ingredients and nicely cooked. The juice was just okay, not too memorable.

The place was very quiet, with only us as customers during that time, which made for a peaceful meal.

Overall, we’d say the atmosphere is more impressive than the food, but to be fair, we probably just didn’t order the right dishes for our taste. We’d be happy to come back and try something...

Really ? I guess the ones that reviewed before are staff or friends.. as usual here in the Philippines. Avoid this place absolutely. Food is way too salty and doeant look like their social media pictures. The service is awful. You enter the restaurant and nobody comes to you for 10 minutes although we were the only ones. I had to go get the menu myself and to go again to ask water. Waiter forget one of our order. Not friendly at all and expensive bill for going to eat some small bites somewhere else after. Not satisfied ! To the owner.. check on your staff ! And to chef kai if you exist, you dont deserve to be...

An amazing find at our hotel was the restaurant. We have breakfast our first morning. Second day we had breakfast and stayed in the restaurant all day until closing at 9:00 p.m. Staff was happy and kept our drinks, desserts and food coming all day. Not only were prices very reasonable comma but the food was quite tasty. Had several of their items such as watermelon pork singing which was sweet and sour but awesome. Had a coconut chicken curry, and a few fruit shakes. Cook was quite talented and out her amazing touch and flare to her food. Highly highly recommend eating here even if you don't stay...
