    It was getting late and was looking for something quick and easy. It was basically a line of restaurants and decided to try Fely J's coz we were feeling something local with a twist. The staff were very friendly. The drinks were good. We asked for recommendations and they recommended the special sinigang (basically sinigang with watermelon.) To be honest, there really wasnt anything special about it. It tasted just like a regular sinigang; the watermelon didnt make any difference at all to the taste. We started with lumpiang sariwa and it was good. We also ordered bistek, which also good. All in all, it was a good experience. The food were good. The staff was good. Would I come back? If given the opportunity.

    If there's one Filipino restaurant I would keep coming back, it would definitely be Fely J's Kitchen. My friend recommended this place since I came back home from the States so it was my first time to try this restaurant. Food was amazing, we ordered crispy pata, dilis rice, gule magalang, sinigang na bangus belly in Guava and the famous secreto ni Maria dessert. I was blown away and impressed because they were all delicious! Service was fast and the inside of the restaurant is decent but nothing too fancy.

    A unique take on Filipino food. Liked the dishes but not enough to make me crave them. Although it is good but not that great.

    Crunchy Paco. (Fern Salad) The best.
    Susan U.

    Fern salad? Oh yes. I can eat tons of it and so learning that this restaurant serves such fiddlehead fern,I must go. I was brought here by my bff who has been a fan of EVERYTHING in the Fely J's menu or I just say,she's another foodie. The place is elegantly decorated with modern Filipino artwork and the music was playing KUNDIMAN (traditional Filipino love songs),I think that was cute. The fern salad(ENSALADANG PAKO) was tasty but a little too sweet for me. I could have eaten 2 plates. GISING GISING(Kangkong stew in coconut milk),Kangkong is water spinach in English,a little spicy but just right. This food was super rich in flavor that anyone would be asking for "extra rice please!" but we tried to skip the rice. PRAWN CURRIED WITH KAMIAS(or you can jungle the words) was the best. The prawns were cooked perfectly and the curry sauce was flawless! Wowzers. Staff. Yes,they were attentive and polite. Not over friendly. Bathroom. Clean and smells clean. Not sure who's Fely J. but I enjoyed the food so much. Salamat po!

    I became a fan of Fely J after trying their awesome bistek tagalog!!! Ang sarap!!!! Actually, pretty much everything I had at Fely J is quite tasty, you will not get disappointed. I've had a few different dishes but for me bistek tagalog is absolutely to die for! With bistek tagalog and sisig fried rice, I'm already in heaven.....mmmmm!! Since I grew up in Manila, I felt like one of the balikbayans craving for the Pinoy comfort food after many years of being away from the motherland. Fely J has a wide selection of typical Pinoy food ranging from sinigang soup, pancit, ginataang, kare kare, adobo, etc. I also like the homeyness of the place, the ambiance is relaxed and casual despite the upscale shi-shi Greenbelt location. The price is reasonable, we ate like pigs with appetizers, entrees, and dessert and we paid about P800 each.

    The Sikreto ni Maria Clara is a essentially puto maya ala mode - suman, mango, topped with macapuno ice cream.

    Fely J's restaurant is name after the wife of Larry Cruz, of the LJC Group of restaurants. The food here is Asianfusion/modern Filipino which gives both Filipinos and foreigners a new yet familiar way to enjoy Pinoy cuisine. The signature rice dish - dilis rice, for example, is reminiscent of the nasi lemak of Indonesia. The dessert Sikreto ni Maria Clara is the traditional puto maya (suman and mango) hidden underneath a heap of macapuno ice cream. It is pricey but the food is great! We recently took a Japanese client who wanted to have Filipino food here and she enjoyed the meal immensely. We made her try sisig, gising-gising, tilapia, and adobo, plus maja blanca, halohalo, and ube ice cream. I think Fely J's would be an ideal restaurant to take foreigner friends to! Tip: come earlier than the normal meal times as it can get packed. We arrived at exactly 12 and were seated right away, but fifteen minutes later there already was a queue!

    halo halo for dessert for me
    Reyz A.

    Not bad for Filipino food in an upscale mall. I would prefer Filipino food out on the streets of Makati or Manila and save some pesos, but who can resist walking around swanky/air-conditioned Greenbelt Mall? While in the mall, there are many restaurants to choose from, many of which are US franchises. However, I've not tried Fely's. What attracted me were the old family photos hung on the wall, the spaciousness of the tables, and the view out towards the gardens. I did order cervesa--San Miguel. I followed that by beef mechado, and rice. Very yummy, like mummy used to make. You also get two pages of desserts---halo halo for me. Halo halo here was bit different. Lots of good ice cream but they didn't overload it with those little squishy balls that you get out in the streets. Overall, a nice afternoon experience.

    Fried Milk Fish is a must!
    Mike T.

    The Fried Milk Fish and the ice cream with fresh mango and sticky rice dessert are my favorites. The atmosphere is nice. Also had the Guava Prawn soup, it was good but after awhile a bit overwhelming for me. Overall a good experience.

We stayed at a hotel in Makati so it was really convenient to get to the restaurant. I'm glad there were pedestrian bridges in this car-centric area. It reminds me of the Minneapolis Skyway system. Before we dined at the restaurant we strolled along Greenbelt Park. It was during the weekday. People were at work so it was pretty quiet and relaxing. It was nice to be around nature in this metropolis. I'm sure people who work around this area would come to this park during break. I mean, that's what I would do if I was cooped up in a building all day. We didn't know where Manam was so I walked up to the concierge desk at the mall and asked them. She was helpful and friendly. The host at the restaurant welcomed us and we were brought to a table right away. They tried to put us near the front with a rattling air conditioner. In my head I was like, "Really? How am I supposed to have a decent conversation with my fam with that industrial factory noise?!" I seriously wasn't trying to have a janky restaurant experience. Of course I had to mind my manners because I'm just a visitor from a different country. I wasn't about to start something and get myself in trouble. So I kept those inner thoughts to myself, smiled, and politely asked the host to move us further towards the back. They were able to accommodate us. Our server was friendly. The food was good. A couple of customers next to us ordered the Crispy Pancit Palabok tableside service. They enjoyed the entertainment. We had a smorgasbord of items. The restaurant was advertising their Sinigang na Beef Short Rib & Watermelon so we ordered that. The watermelon flavor was subtle. When we got the bill I was ecstatic. I couldn't believe how affordable brunch was. For food and drinks it was under $25. At home it would have been $50-$60 with tip. Honestly, I'm so glad I got to eat at popular Filipino restaurants like Manam during my Philippines vacation. The closest thing we have to popular Filipino restaurant chains back home is Jollibee and Chowking (obviously fast food restaurants). It was nice to eat Filipino comfort food at a modern restaurant on this trip.

After wandering around for half an hour, we ended up in front of the restaurant. What intrigued us about the place was how empty it was, though it was already past five PM and there was major traffic of people in the mall. The site I supposed reminded us that it was dinner time already, so we mulled over whether to give the place a try. My sis quickly decided against it because she assumed an empty restaurant must mean bad food. However, I was craving for real Filipino food at that moment (and I was paying), so we ended up inside the restaurant after quickly glancing at the menu. The place was so empty that even the host was out of sight. After a minute or so, the host appeared and we were seated promptly needless to say. We even had a pick of any table! We ended up ordering the bagnet that came with the sour broth on the side, beef adobo, laing, and garlic fried rice with dilis. And as it turned out, we really enjoyed the food! My sister and my mom raved about the bagnet. I liked everything. In conclusion, the place was a hit. Before our staycation ends this Saturday, I would like to back and try out the other dishes.

For a place that was so busy, surprisingly, it wasn't too noisy and we were able to carry out a conversation. The staff was very attentive, and it seemed like we had multiple people serving us Like most groups, we dined family style. We shared everything that we ordered and every dish was scrumptious. Three of us reside overseas so we were all looking frward to authentic Filipino foods. This place rose to the occasion. The standout was the fish that was filleted and deep-fried, and spread out like a butterfly so it was easy to take a piece off. The fish was cooked perfectly, that is, it wasn't overcooked like most fried fish dishes would be. All of us asked for fresh buko (coconut) juice servied in a whole coconut. However, the coconut was no longer young coconut that usually has soft meat that we can spoon up. instead, it was more "niyog" or mature coconut that needed to be cut up which the staff did for us.

On this visit I had the following items: - Crispy Tadyang - Bamboo Rice The Tadyang (fried short ribs) was incredible - tender, yet crispy and full of flavor.

The rice has an interesting flavor profile since it's mixed with spices and shrimp...it's definitely an interesting rice dish you won't find anywhere else. Abe has a huge menu that showcases the diversity in Philippine cuisine. The fact that it includes appetizers, salads, soups, mains, sides and desserts means you'll leave a very satisfied customer. Can't wait for my next visit!
