Food is OK but the smoke from the griller is not. I can't finish the food fast enough. I want to get out of there.

The food was decent but I was totally turned off by the owner's son who was serving as the cashier.I was helping myself to a glass of water (at their 5-gallon water container dispenser) and was surprised by the owner's son who tried to steer me to their bottled water instead. Was something wrong with the container, I asked, and he said no but it was at room temperature whereas the bottled water was in the cooler. That's why, finishing with a smile, we keep the dispenser unplugged (so it doesn't serve cold water).After this, I couldn't help but notice the size of their serving portion. Rice is charged by the cup -- like in many other restaurants in the Philippines -- and the cup they were using was the smallest I've ever seen, hahaha. It wasn't coffee-cup sized, it was teacup-sized. What a cheapskate the owner of this restaurant is.What a shame, the dishes I tasted seemed alright, but now I wonder how much cost-cutting influenced their processes. Did they get fresh fish or skimp on quality by buying days-old frozen fish?

Perfect place to study or do work. Staff's accommodating. Services are available as advertised.

A small but awesome space with great wifi and a fair price. A little bit tough to find but don't be afraid to ask the security guards, they can help you out.
