JT's Manukan Grille — Restaurant in San Pedro

Food - Food was delicious and cooked thoroughly. I had the chicken pecho and it was excellent, it is very similar to Mang Inasal, but not red on the inside.

Service - Service crew was a bit difficult to call, but that is already a given when there are a lot of customers.

Atmosphere - As much as possible, do not be seated in table number 7 as that is where the aircon is pointed towards and it is very cold. The atmosphere was very nice, it is decorated beautifully.

Space - There is limited seats and tables compared to other fast food places, so it can take a while to be seated if the place is busy. There are two additional rooms for seats, but the main area has little space that can fit a single file line.

Bathroom - The male bathroom has a bidet, though, the water pressure could is gentler compared to what you would find in your home. There is also toilet paper and tissue after washing your hands.

Wash - There is a hand washing area before going in the bathrooms. It has an automatic soap dispenser and pull out tissue for use after...

First time dining at JT’s Manukan Grille (San Pedro), overall a good experience! The servers were nice and attentive, and the food didn’t disappoint. We tried the Chicken Inasal Pecho with plain rice, Sizzling Cansi Steak, Isol, and Dinuguan, all flavorful and satisfying. The inasal was juicy and smoky, and the dinuguan tasted homemade.

Just one small note: it would’ve been better if the server asked first before pouring the gravy on the sizzling plate because some guests might prefer to add it themselves. Still, service was quick, the vibe was relaxed, and the food was worth it. Definitely a place I’d go back to for classic comfort...

Honest personal opinion, their signature dish that is the chicken inasal was just ok, but doesn't stand out. It tastes like any other ordinary grilled chicken. There's too much garlic on their fried rice, it doesn't complement the dish, it tastes somewhat bitter. We also tried their batchoy, not much of a fan.

On the bright side, the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made the dining experience enjoyable overall. So while the food was a bit underwhelming, the great service...
