Cabalen Restaurant

I Went in really wanting pancit but they didn't have any. The gentleman at the front was extremely helpful though, he explained what everything was and gave me time to decide what I wanted. I ended up going with the Hawaiian pork and chicken adobo with a vegetable egg roll. Everything was fresh and phenomenal, I'll definitely be going back.

A wonderful spot for authentic Filipino food! The service is friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious. I wish I didn’t live six hours away so I could come here more often. I’ll definitely be back on my next visit. The people leaving bad reviews clearly don’t know what good Filipino food tastes like.

Food is awesome. But, get there early or your choices will be less. Still good choices though. We were given free samples of the food. Very tasty, I had the pork belly and the fried fish. I also had a type of dessert with bubble, jello coconut and I think milk… green in color! Very good, bought two, one for me and one for my daughter. Puto bread is only sold Saturdays and Sundays. lumpia is sold by order, and I was told there are more food choices on Sundays. They open at 7:30am I think. They close at 4pm but today, by 12:30pm the choices were less. So, go early. Sorry forgot to take pictures. Atmosphere: I like that everything is accessible to you, so it is not a big place but it’s very comfortable. You feel right at home.

OMG! The worst food! My husband and I, only got one serving of the lechon which was very fatty, but was not bad. and that was it- we left! Mind you, they offered halo2x, but no ice cream available! I mean, what’s halo2x without ice cream? I should have read the reviews first. We went to the SM seaside location. FYI, drinks were not included in the price of the buffet. What a waste of money!

Seating is terrible, first come, first serve. They have no menus, so you dont know what things cost. Their rice is mediocre, their Lumpia is machine made, and their fried chicken or baked chicken is cold and hard, it's partially edible. If it is not fried or baked at the moment, dont eat it. It's food you throw away but they'll have no problem charging you for it. Their pork belly and the pork steak stew is over salted and not edible. I found the food, atmosphere, and price ridiculous. Last time I ever go back. I'll save my money and heartburn. This was 4 combos (entree, 2 sides,) 4 cokes, and 2 orders of Lumpia. The food was partially edible. I should have taken photos of what we left.
