Bamba Bistro — Restaurant in Parañaque

I was so looking forward to dining at this restaurant because of the articles and reviews i read. We came in early around 6pm April 9. Our first appetizer was an artichoke crostini. It tasted good. Toast with cheese some pesto dressing topped with artichoke. First course "Pass". Then we had the Bistro Salad. It has fried onion rings on top with tenderloin pieces. Taste wise its good but a little oily coz of the onion rings. So far so good. We were looking forward to the main course. The 24hr pork belly arrived. We were expecting something better like very soft melt in your mouth type but it was an ordinary belly. Like fried on top of a very salty soy rice. We had to return the dish and they replaced the rice to a lighter more palatable rice. Last item ordered was a Duck Ravioli. Which i saw as a must try in an article. It was off the menu but you can still order it. This one was a real fail. The white sauce tasted like evaporated milk and the ravioli tasted bland and i don't taste any duck at all. 1/10. Overall, we got disappointed after a good start and left with a 2400 peso bill that didn't satisfy us. In short, sayang pera. It was too expensive. Lesson learned, don't believe all the...

Spent Valentine’s Day here with my palagi for lunch. Right before entering the resto, a server opened the door and welcomed us with a smile then led us to our table. The table reservation was seamless and our request of being seating adjacent to each other was accommodated. We had the 6 course meal which was the Valentine’s day special. The food was FANTASTIC! Super delicious! And we were surprised it only cost below 3k per person! It was well worth the price. Especially that each of the food served per course were well thought of and had a story. The service was top notch! All the servers were so nice and courteous. All requests were given. Even the chefs went to the tables to serve some of the food along with the story of the food item. Also, you’d see the chef go out from the kitchen and go around the table to ask how the customers were doing and how the food was. We could also hear her order the other chefs nicely and with a calm voice. We enjoyed the whole experience and so grateful to Bamba Bistro for making our Valentine’s day date special and memorable. THANK YOU!! We’ll definitely go back to try out the food in...

disappointed. overpriced and so so food. started with salmon crostini. the bread should be crispy . too sweet for my taste. the creamed mussel is okay. the Caesar salad was disappointing. its overdressed and the dressing was not close to an authentic Caesar salad. they could also baked the croutons to give it some color. the main course was mediocre. You can get better rice bowl from Panda Express. lol. For the price you are paying, i expect some attention to the dishes . the salmon were overcooked. the rice was just mixed with poorly prepared teriyaki sauce. My mom enjoyed her Beef dish but i thought it tasted like the maggi seasoning typical of beef salpicao. I think the dish was itlog ni Sir. Lol. The cucumber calamansi juice was good. we spent 5000 pesos for 4 people for a couple of small servings of appetizers and 4 entree and drinks. Pretty expensive for the quality of food we ordered. The service was slow. I was hopeful that the food would be at least better prepared for the time that we waited. Overall, its a fail for me. The two star was for the mussel and the...
