Cabalen - SM Manila

There weren't many customers at the time we dined. They offer the usual filipino cuisines, quality seems quite mediocre.

Cabalen SM City Manila is the best local buffet restaurant. The food are so delicious. They prepared and cooked it perfectly. The best for family or work gatherings. The place suits also for business transactions.

2 hours of Filipino buffet! It's cheaper than the Robinsons Place one because here it serves Filipino food while the other one serves Asian food. After adding service charge, it's 334 pesos for one.

A buffet of great value, and guaranteed to be full! Lots of food choices, I like the roasted pork, it's hot and crispy! And the seafood, which seems to never let you full no matter how much you ate! You can order some shake or drink but they ran out of the hot Lipton tea I preferred on the drink menu.

As an eat-all-you-can restaurant, it's affordable. Just a few Filipino food choices. I liked the lechon, fried Hito, puto, biko and the crispy Kangkong.

*The floor seem slippery or just the chair? Also, the table's rocking so a bit of distraction. But the atmosphere is great.

Manager Jhenny was very friendly to us. Very down to earth and humble. She was the one who served me coffee. Her staff is great! Visited the place Sept. 25, 2024.
