There is a lot of choices whenever you are in a Mall, especially if you are in SM North Edsa. Yet this restaurant stands out. First, the service is great, servers would accommodate you immediately even in peak hours. Second, the ambiance has this traditional home vibe. And lastly, the foods have insanely delicious twist. We had their Inihaw na Hito Kabilayaki and Chicken Kare-Kare on stick. Definitely worth the try. I recommend to try this place, you won’t be disappointed.

It’s a 10-10-10 across the board!! We went here to celebrate my partner’s birthday and we weren’t disappointed with the food. I’ve always wanted to try their Kare-Kare but since my companion is less of a fan of pork dishes compared to me, we opted instead for their Ginataang Inasal na Manok which was surprisingly mouthwatering (AND BONELESS!). Imagine that explosion of flavors of the coconut, squash and grilled chicken in your mouth. So balanced yet so delicious. As a lumpia shanghai fan, their shanghais are top tier also. More of the meat, less of the wrapper. It was presented in a gorgeous plate. Will definitely come back to try their other dishes (esp that Kare-Kare huhu)

Filipino food with a twist, it was a twist in a very good way. TRES has become damous because of their Volcanic Kare-Kare, and the hype was real. The Kare-Kare is a must. Hopefully, you do not have any allergies to peanuts. Otherwise, you will miss a lot! The meat is prepared excellently, soft, juicy, and the skin is soooo crunchy. The Pinakbet, Pancit, and all other food that we ate are just simply exceptional. You should try this place, it was worth it, and the staff are very friendly too. The only thing was the ambiance, it can be improved but doesn't affect the taste of the food.

Staff is very friendly and very attentive to customers. The food is presented simple but elegant, which adds to the experience. The food is very tasty and reasonably priced for the portions, in my opinion. The decor was well put together with the perfect amount of lighting. My wife and I stopped in to give it a try, and we were very pleased with the entire experience. 10/10 would recommend.

Came back to this resto after some years - I think both food and ambiance improved since. I don't eat too much rice but that hiyangchow is superb I will be back if just for that. It was I think some ribs adobo I liked among the meat dishes.

Went earlier here for lunch. The ambiance was like your typical old fashion filipino room. It was very busy around noon hours so expect to have waiting time coming here. Luckily we were just early enough to be first in line already. After picking out the food we ordered, they already escorted us to our table and provided cold water immediately while waiting. The serving of food was actually quick compared to the number of menu items we ordered. Like 15-20 minutes or so. The food delivered was presented in a unique way like the sisig flowers hung like leaves of a plant, a crispy pata volcano oozing with kare kare lava sauce, and a whole fried chicken just sitting upright. Some other dishes we ordered were the grilled (bulgogi) bicol express, which was fantastic by the way with their unique gata sauce, and kaldereta chicken wings, which also has a unique twist. Even the rice tasted great there especially their best selling Sisig rice with bone marrow. I would have loved it if the bone marrow actually had more marrow but it was still a nice complement. The staff were very friendly. They even opted to take a picture of us while we were taking selfies. Service was very quick like asking for refills of water and they had pleasant attitudes. Overall, if you want to try unique filipino cuisine, this restaurant is one of the must-tries!
