Emnace's Grill — Restaurant in Quezon City

there's no doubt that they serve delicious filipino food that's why i became their regular customer. me and my whole family often visited their small restaurant in congressional avenue. so when they moved to a bigger place we were so excited to visit it again. and so we did... the place is much bigger than the first one so it was expected to have a huge volume of customers especially during weekends.. it took us more than 30 minutes for our food to be served.. the restaurant is divided into two parts, the first big part is for filipino food and the second smaller one is the "bar".. since the place for filipino food is fully occupied at that time we occupied the place like "bar". there's only 3 waiters assigned for that "bar". they need more waiters for them to accommodate all the needs of the customers because as i experienced it took a while for their waiter to assist you.. you can also read the facial expressions of other customers like us that they are "too disappointed".... one last thing,, when we ordered additional extra rice, they served us "hilaw na kanin".... suggestions: more improvement for the service; additional waiters;..( as i saw and observed, their waiters are already "used" to say "sorry" to their customers.. it shouldn't be like that, you should keep the customers coming back again and again or else lost them because of...

As an Ilonggo, I am very happy to have tried dining in this. Our colleagues treated us in this restaurant. The place was insidiously good. We always pass by this place and I never thought that this place will serve me one of the best foods I would have eaten in Metro Manila.

We ordered the following: Beef Kansi - seriously, one of the best kansi I have ever eaten. Ilonggos find this a staple dish because of the great combination of beef and sour soup. Group Meal which includes: Pork Barbeque Sisig Pakbet with Crispy Pork Ensaladang Talong Boneless Bangus Inihaw Root Beer and Rice

I rarely over-compliment a restaurant but as an Ilonggo I will be a bit bias but very critical with Ilonggo dishes. However, the beef kansi is really to die for. Ilonggos should really try this place.

The place has large parking area which is a major problem in Quezon City Restaurants.

They also share a place with a Car Wash, so you can have your car washed while eating.

The restaurant also is spacious. Good for events and parties

Food - 100/10 +++ Decor - 7/10 Ambience - 7/10

But don't judge the place because the food will make up for their lapse in decoration.

Dined...

I have lived around the area for more than the decade and during that time I haven’t tried Emnace’s grill since it opened. Now they opened a 2nd branch which is bigger and had a huge parking. The first one which is near SnR only has street parking.

It was my mother’s birthday and she wanted somewhere simple with no fuss but had great food. Our neighbor recommended this place for it offers affordable home cooked style dishes.

It’s a dampa type of restaurant minus the turo-turo factor. They have limited items though.

We ordered the following: Inihaw na pusit (Php 280) market-fresh grilled squid stuffed with ensalada. It was firm and wasn’t slimy. Bagnet 1/4 (Php 185) one of the things I look for when it comes to fried pork is the crunchiness of skin isn’t difficult to chew. Pinakbet with bagnet (Php 185) don’t kill me but I’m not a fan of pinakbet 😂 my family seemed to like it. Crispy tilapia (Php 165) can’t go wrong with tilapia dipped in calamansi soy sauce. Rice (a cup for Php 30)

They also have a pasalubong corner. They sell pastillas, assorted yema, crackers...
