House of Wagyu

Reviewed By feetdraggerdoctor

It was the start of Summer and as part of Family bonding we choose this Steakhouse and my 10 year old daughter who hates steak and dreaded every steak house we ever went to. First, she got interested in the manner that steak is slowly cooked in the stone grill. The restaurant exhaust which is missing in so many steak houses didn't allow our clothes to smell like fumes. In short, we smelled the same way when we went out. There is a selection of old classics like shrimp and chicken but of course we were there for the Wagyu steak. The steak is so soft that the knife hardly had to work. When my daughter tasted it, she was expecting the same taste that she had in all the other steak houses but I convinced her that it was a totally different experience. She loved it and felt so sorry that we didn't eat here before and has asked for steak ever since. The ambiance is very cozy, romantic and they serve wine and other beverages. It was pricey for a family of 6 but when you have a daughter apologize to a piece of meat, that is something else. Truly, one of the very best steak in this country.

Enjoyed our dinner here. Started with the Salmon Rolls and shrimp appetizer, as well as the raclette, which was delicious. Our group liked the pasta and sea bream. I had the prawns with risotto and broccoli - 6 huge grilled prawns were cooked well and very tasty Located across from Podium Mall, next to McDonalds.

I was on my way home when I called my niece if she needs anything and she immediately answered "ice-cream". Since it was already late in the evening Jollibee Malabon Branch is the nearest place where I can buy some ice cream. The strawberry sundae and chocolate sundae did not melt until I reached home.

Shakey's

Reviewed By RoyalNavy1964 - London, United Kingdom

Spent a month in Manila and visited this restaurant several times. All was well, with great food and great service. The last time we went, two nights before we flew home, we ordered the 'solo pack' and a pizza. The solo pack consists of potato slices dusted in herbs and spices, very tasty, and chicken pieces. I cut open my chicken and it was raw inside. I pointed this out to the waiting staff, who just took it away, informed me it would be twenty minutes, and returned some time later with properly cooked chicken. Whilst I realise mistakes are made, and food is occasionally served incorrectly, what annoyed me was the lack of apology. There didn't appear to be a manager on duty that night, as there had on previous visits. The staff that evening were particularly lack lustre in their efforts, and it showed! It was just as well we were leaving, as I don't think I would have returned after that episode.

Many Chinese eat and hold their functions here because of the authentic Chinese taste. The food is served quickly and hot. Every now and then they offer new entrees which may include exotic food. The restaurant is a little aged, the comfort rooms not kept well and the main dining is just like other old Chinese restaurants. When I tried to pay by credit card before I was told that there will be a surcharge. I couldn't if they changed policy because lately I pay in cash.

I never liked sapin-sapin because to me it's just the same stuff in different colors..but Dolor's is different. My family once told me to write my name in a piece of papaer before trying Dolor's because i am sure to forget my name once I have tasted it..that was how good they described it. Well..I did not forget my name...but the sapin-sapin sure is the best in the world...

Reviewed By lanaval - Manila, Philippines

We have tried four branches of this restaurant and noticed that the food is consistent in all four. Our favorites are the crystal prawn ball with Chinese bagoong, steamed fish with garlic, beef brisket, spinach soup and yang chow. We have also ordered some of the many dishes they offer and we were never sorry for any of them. They also offer sweet peanut with sesame seed while waiting for your order. Most orders come right away except the steamed fish. Price is relatively cheap although we noticed a slight increase lately. Since the branches are all located beside Puregold, parking is never a w. Like most Chinese restaurants, servers are always on the look out for anything you may need.

The main branch in Binondo (Chinatown here in the Philippines) is still my favorite although their goodies are now available in several locations. I suggest stocking up on their freshly made soy milk as well as their classic hopia and their wide selection of mooncake variants.

Savory is the best place to eat chicken. I had always wanted to dine at their original Binondo branch but my sister treated me to dinner at their waltermart makati branch. We ordered hototay, yang chow fried rice and Savory chicken. U won't go wrong with ordering their chicken which is

Elar's Lechon

Reviewed By ehmoy - Quezon City, Philippines

Whenever we're at this mall, we always dine at Elar's. If only the lechon sisig is available all the time. Tasty and really, really good.
There's always a line here. They change their menu regularly which is a good thing. Serving sizes are generous. Other savory dishes that we always have are lechon paksiw, kare-kare, and lechon rice.
