Sign in to reviewHorrible inattentive service. They make you wait for nothing while they chat away with a guy in the mall who just comes to chat. They make you stand and wait until their conversation is over which takes 10 minutes. Our food is ready and packed and waiting on the counter for the staff to finish their conversation with the guy for 10 minutes!! Should have only take a few seconds to get our food since the food out in trays already!! And it has been constantly happening. Either they ignore you on purpose from carelessness or they want to make it seem like they are busy. They are not busy making people wait in line for nothing. Go somewhere else.
They had a lot of traditional filipino dishes and it was nostalgic because they were served "carenderia" style where all the viands were in front of you and you just point at the one you want to order. I wanted to try the kare kare, but they didn't have bagoong. Eyeing the embotido and the lumpia for my next visit! They also had some drinks and dessert I ordered Adobong Pusit - good taste! It was clean and tasty. I ordered the small, but I only ate half of it. Very filling. The sauce was not as dark as I'm used to, but I still liked it. No option for combo meals or rice meals. They only had the choice of small medium or large cup. Also got sisig for take out. It's minced pork, a bit sour. I would prefer the crunch version, probably won't order the sisig on my next visit. The ladies serving were nice. Just a reminder if you use credit card, there will be a 3% charge.
Overpriced. Paid $29 for a paperplate of noodles 2 sausages and tiny servicing of Sisig. Watched a guy in front of me get smoked too. Do not waste your money here.
I visited the food court while waiting for my car to charge, the mall opened at 10:00. The Manila Bay Cuisine was ready for service and I ordered the Sisig (Minced Pork) delicious Pork Jowl, Belly and Ears it’s usually prepared with Calamansi, Onions and Chili Peppers, a side of Garlic Rice and Tinolang Isda(Fish Soup) nice and sour cooked on a light Ginger Broth. Helpful lady will served the meal with numerous Philippine items to choose from.
If I could rate this a zero , I would. The owner was a rude old lady, the food was mediocre . Nothing filipino in this place at all. Do not even waste your money and time here!
