By far and away the best Vietnamese restaurant in the Philippines (IMHO). The beef pho is spot on,…read moreand you know it when you smell it. I have had pho all over the world, and some places just miss the mark. Don't know why, can't really put my finger on it, though they all claim to be authentic. Trang's is the real deal!!! A 10+ in the soup department. Also, Trang's is about a 25 minute drive from a beautiful hotel (Hotel BLue Panglao), which makes the entire stay that much better. I had some wonderful pictures that were lost when my phone was stolen by airport security, of all people, going through the scanner process. So, word to the wise, watch your personal effects when going through the Panglao "International" Airport.

The Pho was authentic, except they had no basil leaves, The eggrolls were crispy delicious and the lemon grass chicken wings was divine. Strong iced Vietnamese coffee was a great climax to the satisfying lunch.

I'm a frequent coffee drinker, and their Vietnamese Drip Coffee is great for me! Definitely a must try for locals and tourists alike. Plus, Crossroads Mall has plenty of parking, two arts and crafts stores: Craft Story and HOLICOW, and two dessert places: Abaca Baking Co. and La Marea. Amazing!

This is for the Phat Pho at Ayala Mall in Cebu, but I imagine this goes for all in the city as I…read moreunderstand all are under abaca management. A year and a half ago, I would have given 5 stars. Now they barely deserve 2. What changed about their Pho? They seem to have reduced the portion size while keeping prices the same. It's broth, it doesn't cost a lot to produce. Undercooked slightly hard fettuccini noodles. The bean sprouts were already in the bowl and amount seemed much less also. I wasn't sure if they were even there. Broth was not as good as I remember. This was my favorite restaurant in all the Philippines and now I don't even want to go back. This is truly sad and it was something I looked forward to when visiting this city. I will go to the Banilad location to see if it's the same. If it is, I'll give my feedback again in person.

Food not the issue, service has greatly improved. As we were a handful of diners, we were treated with a quickness and high attention. The food winner was pad Thai. The spring roll appetizer was good but the wrapper was overly sticky and difficult to keep assembled. The pomelo salad was good but not a compliment to my palate. A bit sour. In all, top marks for improved professionalism and prompt service. Keep up the good work.

Our servers, Robie and Evangeline were very attentive and polite. While waiting for our food, we heard a woman's voice who sounded like she was throwing a fit in the kitchen. I asked Robie, the head waiter what was going on because I sensed that the other customers were quite tense and uncertain as to what was going on in the kitchen. It was truly a very unprofessional demeanor from LESLIE, the head chef. She was practically yelling at the top of her lungs to the kitchen staff and it made the other servers feel very awkward. Other than this very unpleasant experience, the food was very good. I would highly recommend this place.
