The better restaurant is the one at Alabang Town Center. The service is quick and pleasant. the portions are good and cooked well. Avoid the reaturant at Robinson's Place in Malate. It is the total opposite. Inattentive service. Small portions. Food tastes like it was just reheated in the microwave.

My son likes to come to this place. We enjoyed the gising-gising which was quite spicy and the crispy bangus. Do try the lechon kawali...it is good.

We've been to many branches of Recipes and on Dec. 30, we tried their latest at Solenad 2 in the bustling city of Sta. Rosa, Laguna. This branch is small, like most Recipes restaurants. It had sitting for at most 30. The menu is limitede but carries most of the restaurant's bestsellers. We had General's Chicken, kare-kare, Gising-gising, Braised beef.... More

The food here is filipino with a twist. It's quite good with a decent price tag. Would recommend this Filipino restaurant.

Super cheap, I wish they had one of these here in the US. Great Filipino late-night eats and most everything is tasty.
