Buko Resto-Bar

I am so glad I live within walking distance from Buko Resto. This place is great! The food is delicious and affordable. The cocktails are made well and the bartenders are polite and they serve drinks quickly. The hookah bar has a good selection. And the layout and atmosphere is just awesome; it doesn't feel like you're in virginia beach.

The waiter was very nice but it seemed the waiter was were more busy with the bar than the customers, it took us a while to get a refill for our waters and get checked on. The sisig was okay but it was pretty salty and the mango juice was pretty sour. We ordered garlic parmesan wings as well and they didnt really taste of parmesan and were sour..? We ordered lumpia and halo halo and we never got it, and it also seemed like the owner was judging us for the amount of food we ordered ..😭😭

Went around 9:00 PM, expecting to have a nice dinner, only to be hit with a cover charge just to get in. That should have been the first red flag. The place was nearly empty only about four or five people at the bar so I figured service wouldn’t be an issue. I was wrong.

I ordered a drink, and after waiting for 15/20 minutes, I still didn’t have anything in my hand. The bartender made some excuse about needing a magnet to pour from their odd draft system that fills the glass from the bottom (doesn't give you a correct pour absolutely no head). I get that every place has its quirks, but in a bar with multiple workers and barely any customers, there’s no reason a simple drink order should take that long. Even worse, I wasn’t offered an alternative or given an update I just stood there like an jerk off waiting for something that never came.

For a place that charges a cover just to eat dinner, I expected at least basic service. Instead, I left unimpressed and without a drink. Definitely won’t be back.

I arrived at 2:30pm after a long day at work, I have to be at work at 5am, and after a doctor’s appointment. The reviews for food were great, some said the service was a little slow, but it’s right next to my house, so I stopped. The restaurant was empty with one couple already sitting alone eating their food.

I placed my order and signed my receipt at 2:39pm. I didn’t leave until 3:35pm. I asked at the 50 minute mark if there was an issue, as it has been almost an hour.

The food was delicious, so I am giving 4 stars. I would never order anything online, and I don’t plan to go back while hungry. Also, they add a 20% gratuity automatically. I asked them to remove it l due to my food being pickup. Glad I tipped only $5, as the meal nearly $40.

Nice chill vibe. The music is a hit or miss. If you like to dance and drink and play games. Go here. There was a fee to get in after 10pm

Friends and I went here for Halloween open mic, food was good but took over an HOUR to receive. Music was played way too loud, could barely hear each other over it. And when the bill came, they charged us for something we didn't even order! And when we asked for a refund, they only refunded the food item and tax, but kept the ENTIRE tip (percentage including the food item we never ordered!). 20% automatic gratuity is insane, and very clear its only added because no one would tip otherwise.

Service is so slow. My friends and I waited for almost for two hours for our foods. I hope next time you have an event you have more server too.
