Manila Bay Express

We are not from kansas city, but happenned to be there that day and was looking for place to have lunch. So we google and found this place. Since they just opened, nobody was there but one table who they already served and us. The menu i saw on google that other people took was different than the one they currently have so be aware. They must've changed it (which i didn't knew that time) so i kindly asked for clarification if their economy bilao comes with veggies and the guy taking order answered sarcastically "do you see it in the menu" i didn't bother explaining to him that i saw different menu online because of the way he answered.

In regards to food, the bbq was good and the sisig was actually chicken not pork but i like the taste. Crispy pata was also good. I didn't know what "broasted" chicken was and was disappointed that its fried chicken. It taste okay but not what i expect them to serve in a "bilao" since im looking for authentic filipino food. I highly suggest to the owner to change it to grilled chicken or at least have that option for customers to pick. For some reason its early in the morning and they already didn't have the lechon kawali that suppose to come with the bilao we ordered so instead they double the portion of the fried chicken. I appreciate the gesture, but i wish we were asked what we wanted in replacement for what they were lacking (lumpia would've been better replacement). The pancit was good but looked so plain ( didn't have much sahog- veggies /chicken). The kutsinta was not good, it was kinda hard and grainy and didn't even come with shredded coconut on top considering its $1.50 each piece. Halo halo was okay, the banana they put were hard. Food was a little overpriced in my opinion with no service. It's mainly a self serve eatery. You pay first in the counter then you get your own utensils, plates, water, condiments and even to go boxes at the end. They did not have that sign anywhere nor did the guy who took our order explained it to us. We figured it out ourselves. Highly suggest that you guys atleast explain that to your customers and not assume that they know it. The table after us was waiting for a long time for someone to come back to get them plates and other stuff. They were older folks and probably used to being served. Not everyone who walks in your door have eaten there before. You should always treat everyone like how you would treat them when they first visit your restaurant, (even if they are returning customers), welcome them and give them reason to come back. I still left a tip in their tip jar afterwards just to support my fellow Filipinos.
