Only die hard foodies would go out in cold, rainy weather to search for a new restaurant to try. My…read moresearch for reasonably priced, fresh seafood led me to Korea Town. The place was easy to spot, just look for the big red angry crab out in front. While the staff leads you to your table, you'll pass a tank filled with live crabs; you can't get any fresher than this. The restaurant is an open air restaurant so no air con just electric fans. WE ORDERED: - Fried shrimp (complimentary appetizer) - this was ok - Garlic rice was sticky, I wasn't wild about the flavor. - Chili Crab was swimming in a spicy tomato based curry sauce, there was a hint of sweetness: my guess is they used cooking wine. Crab was meaty, but not as sweet as blue crabs which are my favorite. They separated the crab into manageable portions before serving. - Mango shake was made from fresh fruit, this was thick, sweet and delicious. You'll pay a pretty penny here. I think you're enjoyment will depend on your individual taste: hubby liked the food more than I, so I'll give it a safe 3 stars.

I have never seen so many fresh crabs…read more My Grab driver recommended this to me as the best and he was 100 percent correct. This, he told me, is the superior seafood restaurant in the Angelas city area locally known yet also famous with tourists. The architecture is bamboo seeming made in the ancient traditional methods. The value was awesome. It cost me 35usd for a beer crabs and rice. The chilli crab was as good as any I have eaten in Singapore. The crabs are fresh and juicy still alive in the tank. I also saw the coconut crab which other diners loved or the steam crab is apparently the specialty of the house. By the way share these because the servings are large. I was hungry but I couldn't eat it all. The service is great and the staff were extremely warm, friendly and welcoming in the greatest Phillipino traditions. That grab driver deserves a high five from me

My flight from Puerta Princesa got in around 5 p.m. and my main goal was to find local food safely served. The Orange Bucket fit the bill perfectly. The restaurant has maybe 30 tables and seems to cater to diners interested in fresh seafood boils - reminded me a lot of what I've seen and partaken of in southern Louisiana, with steamed crawfish and fresh seafood. The restaurant was well-lit, spotlessly clean, and well-managed. I went in at the door and immediately met a staff member who offered me my choice of seats. Picnic table seating, spacious and comfortable. No alcohol (which was pretty much the case everywhere I went except for the hotel bars). I was staying at the Belmont Hotel just a couple of blocks down the street and had no difficulty finding the Orange Bucket based on what was posted online. I had the beef bulgogi (641 PSP) - perfect! With (I believe) rice noodles and an A&W root beer (90 PSP). Perfect sized for a hungry traveler, seasoned just like I remember from my time serving with the US Army in Pusan, Korea. Given the quality of the service and the great taste of the food, a definite 5-star experience.

RATING FOR DELIVERY…read more Thai food at a seafood restaurant? I was curious; it never hurts to try. Looking at their Facebook page, they have frequent promos, which works well with my bargainista ways. We ordered from foodpanda: our food arrived fairly quickly (we live 1.4 miles away), and the food was nice and piping HOT! WE'VE TRIED - Tom Yum - meaty shrimp in delicious broth - Pad Thai - lots of Tofu. This is the closest you can get to authentic Thai, here in Angeles City. WHAT?! Delicious Thai food at a Cajun seafood joint? Who would have guessed?! Yup, we're ordering from here again! FYI: Located in a plaza behind Max's

That means no crowds, I would suggest you try quickly because this place will become standing room only. Great looking place, good selection of alcohol & drinks, and wonderful fresh oysters.

Located in Hensonville on Zepplin Street. Open from 6 pm until 1 am closed Tuesday. We will be back to try more of the menu very soon.

WE HAD: - stir fried veggies were peppery.

A couple of times the cook set a ribbon of oil on fire just for show. Empty dishes were taken right away. Heavy handed with salt, and garlic slices were on top of almost everything.

If you're looking for Filipino pasta that's sweet and contains sliced hot dogs dyed red, you definitely won't find it here. Al Bacio serves authentic Italian dishes made by an Italian chef, who uses fresh ingredients and takes pride in all his dishes. Let me quote myself from my first review: "First glance at the menu might make you say that it's quite pricey; but if you factor in the price of importing quality goods from Italy, the effort it takes to make everything in house (dressing, sauces, bread, pasta, and pizza dough) AND the VIP treatment you get from the wonderful staff: the price point is completely reasonable." This is one of our favorite Italian restaurants: cozy atmosphere, warm staff, and delicious food. I love that the waitstaff and chef are eager to accommodate any requests within reason. We always leave here relaxed, with satisfied tastebuds, and happy bellies. Mangiamo!

Unlike most if not all Filipinos I know, I do not need or eat rice with every meal, so I tend to go for burgers, sandwiches and such. I've been eating at McDonalds & Burger King and although it is familiar and enjoyable, I must say at this point of my vacation it's getting old. I stumbled upon Charlie's and had a delicious breakfast. So I went back there again to try more of their menu. I'm so glad I did because they have many dishes that will satisfy someone with similar tastes as I do. (and if rice is your thing, they have it and you can have it with your meal) Next time I'm staying in Clark, I will come back again for sure. By the way, they have excellent coffee & desserts.
