Good food, disappointing service. Crispy pata was very good, although my friend insists you can get it much better elsewhere. I enjoyed there kare kare, but it does not have a strong peanut flavor like it does at other places. Kind of mild, but i thought it was ok. Drinks were good & authentic (by the way, no alcoholic beverages served here). For appetisers i had the mussels - very strong roasted garlic flavor. A bit too strong for me, but others may prefer that.
Some of the workers were polite, though not friendly. One person was a little rude. That was disappointing.
Yes, i would say it's kind of expensive here. 4 food items (package deal) plus drinks was appx. $90! But it was a lot of food. Lots to take home.
Food was served up nice and hot and very fast. Very short wait. Lots of parking available - not as crowded as the Seafood City lot across the street.
All in all, it was a good dinner, but wish they were still as good as...
Read moreRepeatedly, the food here NOT good. Ordered traditional kare kare to go and first off, the order did not include bagoong. So had to drive back to get it. When we finally started eating, this dish was bland with no flavor and no distinguishing kare kare taste. How can such a well known Filipino restaurant for this dish continually serve this kind of c$&#? This isn't the first time, second, third, or fourth time I've ordered it with each time getting worse in taste. Wanted to give it a chance before putting up a review and now I felt a review is necessary before anyone else spends their hard earned money. This USED to be the best Filipino food in town and now, it is definitely the WORST. Will definitely NEVER eat their food again. Other food including their boneless milk fish was not good either so it's not just their kare kare. Would rather go to other point, point joints than to go to this "restaurant." Good luck if you...
Read morePlenty of free parking, located outside of Island Pacific . Restaurant itself is pretty small , so very difficult to accommodate a large party. You may need to call in advance to reserve a section, so they can maybe accommodate the party. We decided to order the largest package menu, and we were in a table that was good for 6 . We did not have enough room for all the food, the dish wear and so on and so forth. They do give plenty of food for the price of the package, so if you want to have large amount of food for a reasonable price . For the items that I did try , it was good but not the best in my opinion . The dishes though that had a soup base to them , was a bit too oily for my liking so I did not try them out . I think they could improve, having maybe a bit more smaller dishes . It is very difficult when their is not enough...
