Decided to try Kalapaw & it was 40% salty. We got several dishes as it's our first time to visit! We ordered the chicken inasal but it was disappointing. It was hard & salty, good thing it came with a vegetable salad to help with the saltiness. We also ordered sisig but it turned out salty, too! The kare kare, lechon kawali, calamares, sinigang, garlic rice were good tho! Overall, I recommend you to visit & try! :)

We ordered a mixed platter because we were craving for a “boodle fight” & the food is just okay. Not recommended to eat “boodle fight”, but I guess their other dish looks pretty good.

Additionally, have asked for a “bagoong/alamang” & they served the one that is not cooked & its very salty, there’s more room for improvement.

The ambience looks pretty decent. The mixed platter was served with chicken inasal(needs more seasoning/taste), salmon ceviche, salad, chicken wings(taste good), shrimps, & rice.
Suggestion: hope they add more fruits (mango/watermelon), side(tomatoes), make the chicken inasal more tastier, instead of chicken wings it would be best to switch it to lechon kawali & maybe add some cooked “alamang”.

We made reservation for 6:30 on a Monday. We ordered a few dishes for 7 adults & 2 children to share & it was enough to be full without over eating. Out of all the dishes ordered, our least favorite one was the sizzling pork sisig & the chicken wings...it felt like there was lack of flavor, maybe it is an off day. My personal favorites were: the pork skewers; so flavorful & the grill taste was simply divine! Followed in order of preferences: the salmon seviche with taro chips, the spaghetti filipino sauce, the adobo pork, the lumpia, pancit noodles. For desserts, we ordered the 3 different kind of deep fried rolls & halo halo. My personal favorite was the ube, then peach mango, then the jackfruit plantain.

The service was disappointing. We were served utentils for everyone, 4 napkins, & no plates. Even when the food came, we still didn't have plates to eat. We had to request/remind our original waiter. We had to remind them we didn't get our drink either. Water was filled only once (2 bottles filled all 9 glasses) so it was only as we finished our meal that we were broght more water. Another employee ended up helping our tables for the dessert round as we ordered almost all of them to share. This time around, this employee was on point.

The service took a while, but we were in good company so it helped.

I would recommend paying attention to the basics & do them well, & it would make this place a must place to eat for Filipino food.

Thank you for a flavorful meal.
