The options are not as wide as the other buffet places, but you do get your money's worth. The dishes were well-planned and was generously refilled. The fee comes with unlimited tea too. They serve a kind of warm herbal tea. If I were to guess, it had some camomile and other fragrant spices. It was refreshing. They served steamed purple rice, curried fish, lechon paksiw, chopsuey (with organically-grown vegfies from their own farm), fried spring roll, lato (seaweed) salad, eggplant in coconut milk, kinilaw na pork belly, and more. I liked tgeir cake dessert. It was a chiffon cake that looked a littke like cassava cake. It was not very sweet, whixh waa how I liked it. I found the sweetened banana Saba to be a little sweet. But I still enjoyed it.

Came here for a family dinner, about 10 of us. May I just say quality, quality and quality…read more Filipino food is typically made for comfort regardless of appearance but this place makes sure that your food is both delicious and presentable! What sets this place apart from others is that they infuse local Filipino ingredients making the dishes extra tasty. We ordered a handful of appetizers, entrées, desserts and drinks ranging from Malasugue ceviche, kinilaw, pancit, turon, red wines and smoothies. The list goes on. We ordered way more than that but I was too busy enjoying the food and spending time with my family in a great environment. Family members kept ordering dishes left and right, but the severs were super attentive and brought them out promptly. No miscommunication and very professional. As you step into the restaurant you'll notice that there are many messages left by public figures in the Filipinos. It's there for a reason! It's a must-visit in Davao City. PS I am not a fan of Durian but I ate the Durian/Langka Turon as if I was.

**Great Food, But Portions Have Shrunk**…read more My girlfriend and I love Rekado. We first ate here last year and were amazed by their kare-kare and lechon kawali. Fast forward to this year, I brought my girlfriend and my brother to eat again. While the food was still delicious, the portions were significantly smaller--about 50% less. I posted a comparison of the kare-kare and lechon kawali dishes: on the left is April 2023, and on the right is May 2024. You can see that the portions have literally halved or more. Additionally, this time, the kare-kare had only one piece with actual meat, and it was very little. When we visited, there was an event, and we asked the server how long it would take for the food. The estimate was 15-20 minutes, but the food arrived in 25-30 minutes. It would have been fine if our expectations had been set correctly from the start, so we could have ordered appetizers since we were already hungry. Overall, the food is still delicious, but please improve the portion sizes.

I'm really happy I spotted this place a couple of months back. I never really knew about it cause I…read morerarely go to this part of town but the exteriors caught my attention. It's a really cute little well-lit restaurant inside the first floor of a hotel compound and if you look well enough, it can really catch your attention. There's fair space inside. Maybe around 30-40 people can fit and around 10-15 can sit outside. Parking might be a little by hard because the compound is shared by other establishments but you can always park on the side of the road at night. The food is very affordable! Price range would be 140-350. There are some dishes for sharing less than 350 and it's really good for like 3-4 people! We ordered their Cheesy Sizzling Sisig on a skillet and it was huge!! It was worth 275 and I shared the bill with my friend so you can say we pretty much had a cheap, hearty meal that tasted really great! I also ordered their Old School Vanilla shake for 180 (? I think I'm not so sure anymore) and it was also really great! The service might not be as promising because there's only a few servers and the place is usually really crowded so they tend to get very busy. All in all it was still a really good quaint dining experience.

Unhappy service gives bad taste to the food. We ordered an appetizer platter which included fries but they tried to fit quesadillas, chicken wings, chicken tenders, and barbecue fries into this medium sized plate so I definitely expected a bigger size. I shouldn't be able to count how many fries are on my plate. That's what you get for 200 pesos though. The fries were seasoned just right and the wings were well marinated in sweet chili sauce. Then we also got the caramel cheesecake with cookie bits and wow, the plating fit the taste! Perfection.

And it's…read morefrustrating because this restaurant started out so well in Davao and now the flavors are always fleeting. Their location might not be easy to pick up. It around a Main Street corner but it's a street not often passed by cars so people might have a hard time looking for this place if it's their first time around the city. You might have a problem with parking too. Despite a lot of parking spots available, people just love going back to this place (no matter what season), so you have to come early to park outside the restaurant itself. They have extra space for parking further down a tight alley but it's up to you if you want to risk walking down from there to the restaurant at night. Price wise - when the food is good, it's worth it. When it's not, it's like paying a lot for crap basically.
