Not a good place for parties. They take back to back reservations and they will only give you exactly 1 hour to finish your event. If you don't start packing up they will FORCE you out. Their staff will will start putting away food, turn off lights, tv etc.. It is a very embarrassing experience. This is my first time posting a bad review, I feel obligated to get this known so others won't make the same mistake of hosting a party at this place. Apparently they care less about your event, they only value how much money they can make. If you want fun memories for your event...this is definitely not a place to build those memories.

Definitely not a good place for parties. I made a reservation weeks before the event and they decided to call me on the day of the event, 2 hours before my reservation telling me that they can only accommodate us for 1 hour. Since I cannot make changes at the last minute, I have to rush my guest to eat and at exactly 1 hour, their staff FORCED us to leave by turning off the lights, TV and putting away food etc. It was an embarrassing experience. I would not normally post a bad review but I feel obligated to inform others who may be considering this place for big events...definitely think twice if you want to enjoy and have fun memories. They apparently don't care. It looks like they only favor the people who will pay more. I later found out that they took another reservation after us. I wonder if they also got kicked out?

This place is the one I always prefer. I eat in many restaurants but to this place I constantly return again and again. The crew is very warm and the cooking they place on your table is so fresh and tasty. I never decline to have a decent meal here. I recommend this place with pleasure.

Not sure if it's the corona virus or if people just don't come to this buffet, but we were the only customers. The food was okay, but I was disappointed that they didn't have halo halo out which I saw in reviews.I loved that there was sisig, but no adobo,dinaguan,okoy, or other favorites. The only food my daughter was interested in besides rice was the potato cubes with are basically like French fries, but she didn't eat them because they were cold.She asked if I could warm it up lol. None of the food was super warm, just warm enough, lukewarm, or cold. Would've been nice if there was cantaloupe juice, leche flan, calamansi juice, etc.

I've had way better Filipino than this. No flavor and too much fat on most of their meat dishes. No dinuguan in the buffet menu. Caldereta was also meh, had better. No Mechado on menu. No Lumpia. Did we just come on the wrong day? Food was lower temp than warm. Our Cabalen (same name) in Hercules way better but not buffet.

-0! Food is gross, cold, all oil and fat, Desserts are disgusting and all Sugar! Place is dirty, bathrooms dirty ! Need to tear this place down.
Good food. Probably the biggest issue isn't their fault, just a lot of their dishes have sugar in their recipes paired with a lot of fat. Fat doesn't make you fat but eating it with sugar will. Otherwise one of the better buffets I've ever gone to.

One of the better Filipino buffet. Food choices are reasonable. Price is not too overwhelming.

Reasonably priced for a buffet & enough dish choices, not too much & not too little either.
