I stumbled upon it while scrolling through Google Maps and I'm so glad I went. All the dishes were delicious, and I was so pleased by the genuinely unique options. We got the banh mi smash burger, umami fries, Laos style street tacos, and the kho kho udon. Our favorites were for sure the banh mi smash burger and umami fries. I really liked that the fusion dishes were well balanced and that they truly felt like a fusion between two types of food instead of a discordant combination of flavors. The restaurant is deceptively small, but there's plenty of seating in the back room. The servers were friendly and did their best to serve us as soon as possible. If you can find parking, I'd highly recommend trying out Kuma!

Food here is always solid! Good flavors and creative dishes and portions are great! I haven't tried everything on the menu as I'm the type to find something I like and stick to it, but everything I've tried here is definitely a hit. The cocktails are worth noting to be handcrafted so if you like a good drink, you're in the right place. Service was excellent and quick even with how busy they were. They also offered a seasonal limited dessert menu item that I'm looking forward to trying to next time I'm here. Definitely check this pace out if you're looking for some great Asian cuisine.

We called about 10 minutes before arriving, and even without a reservation, they were able to accommodate us. The beachfront setting is beautiful, especially around sunset. The combination of sea views, the relaxed atmosphere, and the fusion of Asian flavors makes this a wonderful spot for dinner. I ordered the Thai basil sauce entrée, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were bold, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The portion was generous, yet as a pregnant foodie, I happily finished every bite because it was that good. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals as well. The Mongolian beef was flavorful, and the sizzling steak cubes arrived hot and tender, making them another favorite. If you're looking for a restaurant with great food, beautiful sunset views, and a relaxing beachfront atmosphere, Lotus on the Beach is definitely worth a visit.

I enjoyed their hot pot…read more The servers were nice and cool. It's nice to see younger business operators move into ranch 99 and liven up the place. I mostly ate the hot pot here. I think for kbbq and hot pot, I like the set up here a lot. You can customize and get your own food which is way easier than to pick off the menu and wait for a server to bring you your food. Since hot pot and kbbq is meant to have options and pick your own food, I like the set up way better. It's much easier to operate and customize. You can pick and choose how much of an item you can get. You get to make your own sauces, and there's also ice cream machine. I would definitely go here again. I think this place is easier with a small party. Anything more than 6 is difficult to sit a table. It is pretty pricy in my opinion but the price is fair considering you get hot pot AND kbbq. Some meats are pretty good! Some are tough so just pay attention what you grab

You place your order at the counter and pick it up at the counter or in the back with the seating is. The seating in the back is tables and benches with umbrella with a first come first serve approach. Your order will be called for pickup in the back if you are dining at the place. The employees are polite and quick, and helpful when ordering. The fried kimchi was a delight. Now, I'm use to kimchi being more on the spicy side with heat from peppers used to make it, but this was mild to a little heat. The miso ginger chicken was a great add on and made the rice that much more enjoyable. I love the egg on top as well. The guava ginger drink is good enough to drink everyday. I love the bold peppery taste of ginger followed by the calm sweet guava. Parking is a challenge as this place is at the end of the water taxi that is always busy. The area always has scuba divers, cyclists and runners.

We're still fairly new to Filipino cuisine and she did an excellent job talking us through the menu and the various options. We started with three appetizers, the lumpiang, kinilaw, and canton noodles.

For entrees we had the adobo ribs and the beef kare kare. Both dishes were good, but the ribs stole the show. Fall-off- the-bone moist with an incredible tangy yet sweet tomato glaze. Treat yourself to these ribs! The restaurant is small and casual, for us an ideal setting for a wonderful meal.

Our server was attentive when taking our order but rarely came to our table when the dishes were brought to our table. We had to remind our server about our 2nd drink order after waiting for 20 minutes. After our last entree was served, our many entrees plates were not cleared for another 20 minutes even though it was clear we were done eating. Our server never came to our table to check up on us. We had to ask another server for our bill. The final bill for me and my spouse came out to $263.79 and included 4 cocktails. This was not a special occasion dinner. We both want to support Filipino restaurants to become more main stream, however, they need to earn repeat customers. Some of the upscale Filipino restaurants we have dined at includes Kasama (Michelin Star) in Chicago and Abacá in San Francisco had very good service. We started with siyokoy cocktails which were tasty and had a tangy flavor I was craving for in an aperitif. Our entrees consisted of tinapa tonnato, ensaladang pinakbet, adobo ribs, kare kare and shared and order of the bibingka for dessert. We both enjoyed the tinapa tonnato and I especially liked the addition of mint because it brightened the slight funkiness of the tomato salad. The ensaladang pinakbet was not a "traditional" version of the dish and was served cold like a salad and without rice. The veggies were cooked perfectly. The pickled bitter melon was a nice addition although I thought the bitter melon was a bit too vinegary but my spouse liked the level of vinegar. Overall, we both enjoyed this version of pinakbet. The adobo ribs were meh and one note in flavor but was very tender. It lacked acidity which is a typical flavor profile for Filipino adobo. I was getting a slight bitter aftertaste, not sure where it was coming from, perhaps from too much char on the ribs because of the grilling. The ribs are covered in a thick glaze so I couldn't see the naked ribs. We both would have liked wedges of lime to squeeze on the ribs to give it a little hit of acidity. A little Maldon salt would have helped too. The first couple of bites of the kare kare were tasty but started to taste monotonous. We both agreed it needed a bit more salt or bagoong on the side for each diner to add the level to their own taste specifications. The beef cheeks portion was large and was very tender, unctuous, and delicious. The bibingka was served warm and very buttery. We enjoyed the crispy edges. I guess the O.G. designation meant it was the original recipe. It tasted like the recipe I grew up eating. Nothing inventive.
