Outstanding meal here!! If you're looking for an authentic Filipino culinary experience, then this restaurant is what you're looking for. This restaurant truly captures the essence of Filipino cuisine. The portions are good for sharing (3-4people depending on your appetite) It would be wonderful if the restaurant will also offer single-serving options.😊 The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, adding to the overall dining experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving a taste of the Philippines!

Delicious, reasonably priced dishes and good service. My personal favorite was the tinapa fried rice. I'm not a big fan of filipino food so though I tried the stuffed squid laing and sinuglaw, I would say they're good but I wouldn't have them again. My companion was craving for halo-halo and was told that they have one of the best here in the metro. Did it meet the hype? Not as much as she would have liked. It's the classic style of halo-halo with a slightly modern twist (ie banana chips instead of minatamis na sagin). Ube ice cream on top would've been nice.

Crisostomo offers a variety of Filipino food, and it hits the spot if you're craving soul food. We tried to order away from their house specials, and it did not disappoint. We ordered their classic pork sisig, which is a classic Filipino food staple. Their adobo rice is good on its own without any viand. Lumpiang hubad is a great appetizer. We also had sinigang with watermelon, which is a twist to the classic sour tamarind soup (the meat was too tough). Beef morcon steals the show with its own homemade sauce. We will try to go back to try their desserts as we couldn’t because of how full w…

Crissotomo Elias in BGC Manila is a popular authentic Filipino cuisine restaurant with wonderful and patient staff, readily on hand to answer the barrage of questions about the menu from tourists like me. The menu has many traditional dishes complete with photos. We ordered way too much but the standout dishes for me which I’d encourage you, if you like your meal a little on the spicy side of life go for the Sinuglaw Tarsilo, a unique combination of ceviche tuna and barbecued pork in vinegar with chilli, onions and spice. This was perfectly paired with rice. We had two rice options white and…

Crisostomo offers traditional filipino dishes. We started off with fishball and squidball that came with 3 different sauces. The squid was good but the fishball tasted like flour. We also ordered halo halo and gulaman. We asked for desserts first and it came pretty quick. For main dish we had crispy pata, adobo and pakbet. Coming from pampanga I preferred pinakbet with shrimp and more squash. Crispy pata and adobo was good. Overall it was a pleasant dinner.
