They really spaced the tables out, which felt safe and comfortable. Had plenty of room for my bag and everything. The whole place was spotless, too.

Booked the private room for a casual dinner. It was just a different vibe, quieter and more relaxed. Felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Made a regular meal feel a bit more&hellip; considered.

Mary was super quick with my order. Got my sandwich and coffee in like 5 minutes. Perfect for a quick lunch break. The other staff were nice too, even though it was packed.

The weekday lunch buffet is a solid deal. The sashimi is fresh, cuts are decent. The tempura batter stays crisp even after a while on the line. Could use a couple more hot dish options maybe.

Been coming here for years for the breakfast buffet. The spread&#39;s always solid, lots to choose from. It&#39;s that consistency that keeps me coming back.

Good spot for a quick lunch. Lots of healthy and plant-based choices. Got the quinoa bowl, came out fast. Nice to have options when you&#39;re in a rush.

Love that you can order small plates here! Makes it easy to try a bunch of Filipino classics without breaking the bank.

The sizzling oysters and beef ribs were spot on. Fried chicken was crispy, ratatouille tasty but the portion could&#39;ve been a bit bigger.

Dim sum always comes out hot, which I appreciate. The shrimp dumplings and chicken feet are my go-to.

The shrimp and chicken wings were spot on, as always. The crispy edges on the wings, that&#39;s what keeps me coming back. Just a solid, reliable spot.

Lovely garden cafe with a pottery studio. The chairs were surprisingly comfortable for a long, relaxed visit.

Been coming here for years. The baby back ribs are always tender, fall off the bone. Got that unique savory flavor I keep coming back for. Pasta portions are big enough to share, no complaints there.

The free wifi was fast, but honestly I just came for the food. The adobo was spot on, tender and with that perfect balance of soy and vinegar. That&#39;s what I&#39;ll remember.

The kebab platter was good, but the real star was the white sauce. Paired perfectly with a crisp lager.

Nice play to chill out! Accommodating and fun staff Loyd, Glen, Kath, Nicole and Jafar. Their chicken karage is my favorite.

The salmon and tuna sashimi were pretty good, fresh and generous cuts. A decent spot for that.

Stumbled upon this cozy oyster bar downtown. The grilled ones were really fresh. Love the vibe here, it&#39;s got a nice relaxed feel. Good for a quick bite.

Stopped by for lunch. The place is huge, has two floors and even an outdoor section. Never felt packed, which was nice. Got a table upstairs easily.

Tried the Angus beef burger. It was pretty solid, the patty was juicy. Also got the crispy belly to share, portion was huge. Couldn&#39;t finish it all.

Friendly staff, and they waived the corkage fee for us. That was a nice touch. We brought a special bottle for a quiet dinner, and not having that extra charge made the evening feel a bit more relaxed. Appreciate that kind of gesture.

Yakitori was grilled well, pork with miso glaze stood out. Chicken karaage was seasoned right, not too salty. Solid spot for a quick, straightforward meal after work.

Creative take on Filipino classics. Ordered the balut and fish tacos. Flavors are bold, needed the rice to balance it out. Good for trying something different.

The carbonara was pretty good, creamy and satisfying. The fried chicken was a solid choice too. A cozy spot with friendly staff, though it did get a bit noisy later in the evening.

The sisig here is solid. Good crispy bits, tangy and savory. Salisbury steak was decent, a bit heavy on the gravy for my taste. The place is quiet, good for a slow coffee.

Ordered the Peking duck in advance, it&#39;s the way to go. The two-way serving is a nice touch. Their house red was a surprisingly good match with the rich flavors, made the whole thing come together. A bit on the pricier side, but for that pairing, it worked.
