Paolito's Stk Ta Bai - Cebu City

The dishes were great. We ordered fried chicken, calamares, and shrimp sinigang. Waiting time for the dishes to be served was not a problem at all. Really appreciate the ambiance of the place.

Super love the food! They are all so tasty. We ordered quite a lot of different dishes but sorry I was not able to take photos of the rest. Even the pancit canton was very good. Service is fast and staff are friendly, helpful, and eager to serve. Toilet was a bit messy when I used it, but I don't think it was their fault. Love their eclectic decor as well, a combination of local Cebu religious artifacts as well as some musical instruments that remind me of New Orleans jazz. Probably that of the person who used it before me.

I really liked the food here. Pictured below: Fried Calamari: This was very good. Tender and even a little juicy when biting it. Better than most I've had. Fried rice: This was one of the best fried rice dishes I've had. My wife didn't like it, but I thought it had great flavor. The portion is also huge. Fried chicken: It was good, but didn't stand out as much as the Calamari or fried rice. Tuna soup: This was good, but I would probably try at least a few other soups before ordering it again. I'd estimate the portion sizes being about 1 dish per person. We ordered four dishes for the two of us and it was enough to have a complete second meal. They pack leftovers up well which was nice. I'd definitely come back here again.

The food tasted wonderful and the place had a good atmosphere. Serving mainly Filipino dishes, they also serve fresh seafood which they will cook in any way you prefer. Service was commendable but we had to follow up on our orders after waiting for 15 minutes. Especially on the last dish. We had finished eating by then but the last dish still wasn't served. We had to doggy bag it instead. Also their pork bicol express is just all fat!! Barely any meat in them at all.

The environment is much better than the steak. We only ordered steak so I can't give opinion on other stuff but the steak wasn't off a good quality. The cook wasn't bad but the cut was way bow standard. Others on other tables seem to be enjoying their food so this was only from my view
