Crisostomo - Ayala Malls Manila Bay — Restaurant in Parañaque

Super over rated. I expected more because their prices are super expensive compared to serving. We ordered Lumpiang Hubad, Lechon kawali, calamares, Mungo, binukadkad na tilapia, pandan rice and a pitcher of Melon juice. Their lumpiang hubad is worth 400+ yet when we requested for extra sauce since we prefer more sauce in our lumpia we were informed that they charge extra for it which cost 35, we just consent since the sauce they provided didn't even covered the whole of the dish. The binukadkad na tilapia is so blunt, I just don't know if the chef forgot to put salt on it before frying, and it's not even that crispy compared to other restaurants that we've been to. The munggo, lechon kawali and kalamares is equally as blunt. I will not recommend this restaurant. I paid for 3k +++ yet we're not satisfied with our lunch. We will definitely not go back to this restaurant. If you want Filipino food, we recommend Fely J's, Katherine's, Gerry's Grill or Max's.👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼for Crisostomo's👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼...

Overall: You pay for salt, at the price point it's not worth coming back

nice atmosphere but food is damn salty. if you like salty food this is the place for you. the photos looks nicer than the actual food that came. I came here coz of the photos but didn't live up to my standards. Manam is way so much better. Their pancit canton seems like it's been smothered with 1KG of salt!

Things we ordered Paella - no good bland no wok taste Laing - super salty Sisig - hard and bland not crispy Pancit Canton - includes 1KG of salt Bangus - ok edible Chicken Soup - damn salty Fried Squid - probably the only acceptable dish since it's easy to make can't go wrong Tortang Talong - ok but nothing special about it unlike other Filipino restaurants I've tried Halo Halo - can't go wrong just mix...

If there's one word to describe my experience at Crisostomo, it's memorable—but not necessarily for the right reasons. The portions were on the smaller side, and dishes like the binukadkad na tilapia and sisig were disappointing. The meal left me feeling unsure, especially considering the price point.

Our titas brought us here because they had a great experience at another branch, so maybe the quality isn’t consistent across locations? Not sure. Would I give it another shot? Maybe—but only if I’m not...
