Manila Bay

Definitely a let down. I ordered beef steak (bistek) for take out and it cost $ 18. So, I went home and I saw how little the serving was. My fist was literally bigger than bowl the food came in. It’s so small that it’s not even enough for 1 person. I will never ever come to this place ever again!

This is adjacent to and shares the same address as the Beijing Buffet Restaurant, but Manila Bay itself deserves a separate listing.
The food here is pretty good as far as Filipino food goes. I recently tried their Palabok and Fried Boneless Bangus (milk fish) and both are excellent. However, be forewarned that the prices are too high. Their «Kare-​kare» which is what I wanted to order in the first place is too steep at almost $ 30! That’s more than the price of a decent steak! (hence why I only gave it 3 stars)
Obviously they are targetting Filipinos that miss the cuisine from the motherland, but people get real… You may also want to target people who have never tasted Filipino food before. Despite huge numbers of Filipinos in every corner of the world nowadays, Filipino cuisine is still greatly under-​represented, as noted by celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. These high prices are one of the great barriers to entry for any newbie to Filipino cuisine.
Shame, because Filipino food is really REALLY good!
