    Filipino street food but in a restaurant!! What a find!! I loved the food here! I was looking for a unique place to eat with friends and this place popped up! The place looked to be new or redecorated based on google maps. It's in Quezon City and easy to find using a Grab Car. We were seated right away. Place had a lot of people coming and going. There is outdoor seating that I could see but it was rainy season so it was not set up for it. There is AC in the resto which was nice. We had pork and chicken isaw basically intestines bbq. It's much bigger than what I get in the States and tastes better, too! We also had bulaklak, pork bbq on a stick and sisig! Everything tastes great! I also had to have mango shake! I did want beer but we didn't have a long time to lounge and stay so that's why I had a shake instead. I even ordered to-go for my family! As for service, it was as expected with all our requests but I would have loved a friendly vibe to the people that served us but it seems normal here for the locals in the Philippines! LOL Will still recommend this place...I will definitely come back here! [89/100]

    Enjoying our lunch.

    Lola Ote! I went here with my groupmates. BBQ on point! even the isaw...which i tried for the first time here. It was like better street food and safe! The sisig was OK i've had better in the province. This spot is better I think for bbq items. The isaw was chewy...knowing what it was threw me off. But my groupmates really enjoyed it. We also ate something like chicharon, but instead it was made of the intestines of the pig. It's actually not bad when you don't think about what it really us. The service was OK. Food came out slow and it wasn't that busy when we arrived. It did get busy later on in the day. It is near the GMA station and so they get a lot of customers from there. The restaurant itself is small. Has 2 large table and 3 small tables inside if I remember correctly. I want to go back here and get some good bbq!

    Lola Ote is a restaurant that is growing in popularity among foodies for serving excellent pork BBQ, isaw, pork tenga, and other Pinoy streetfood. I am not fond of chicharong bulaklak, isaw, or pork tenga but Lola Ote does have one of the best sisig dishes that I have had in a very, very long time. Its version of pork sisig is not too oily or greasy, and it does not have too much onion or liver. Sulit na sulit! And their sisig is served already seasoned with kalamansi. There really is no need to squeeze kalamansi or mess around with hot sauce, liquid seasoning, and other condiments. Another bestseller is its 18-inch pork BBQ, served on hanging skewers. It tastes like the classic Pinoy pork BBQ except with more meat per serving. I could have this for lunch everyday. Very good value for money. We were also served pansit bihon and sinigang na hipon. I would have preferred a little more soy sauce or patis in the pansit, for better color and taste. And the sinigang was a bit timid, only mildly sour. I would have preferred something more punchy. The dining area looks amazing for a restaurant that serves affordable Pinoy streetfood. I hope they accept reservations for parties and private functions. #TheFoodCrawlers

    The problem with street foods is that they are being sold on the streets, meaning, they can be dirty because of the pollution, or you do not know where the ingredients come from. At Lola Ote, you can have a go on your favorite street foods without worry. The ambiance is also comforting and great for hang-outs. Growing up in a conservative Chinese family, we were never allowed to eat street foods. But as kids, who hasn't tried the safer ones of fish balls, squid balls, and kikiam? But that's probably as far as I would go for street foods. So, having heard that I would be eating exotic street foods like isaw (chicken intestines), tito (pork intestines), and chicharon bulaklak, I got excited. The "exotic" street foods were not bad. They have been marinated and have a sweet flavor. Everything is ready to eat, but if you want a more "cleansing" feel, dip them in the provided vinegar which actually has good taste as well. The isaw is chewy and stretchy. The tito is soft and spongy with a little taste of fat. The pork ears are also tender with an almost similar texture as a sea cucumber. Aside from street foods, they also offer favorite Filipino classics like Kapampangan-style sisig, Sinigang na Hipon, and Seafood Bihon Guisado. The sisig is crunchy and has more meat than onions which is better. It also comes with no egg. I like their version of sinigang because it is not very sour but has a sweet aftertaste. The guisado was a little bland for me. It didn't absorb the flavor of the seafood toppings, would probably need more soy sauce or calamansi. The main reason you would want to visit Lola Ote is their barbecue. It is the best as they claim and I completely agree with them. Their barbecue is very meaty yet very tender. Paired with rice, it is a complete meal and very addicting too. They are served creatively in a hanging skewer. Try their 18" version, you won't regret it.

The lumpia shanghai, kare kare, and crispy pata were pretty good but nothing overwhelming. The pork bbq was honestly a disappointment. It was just sour, not sweet and tangy like it should be. Service was decent and portions are generous but in terms of the taste there are many other options for traditional filipino food.

Prepare yourself for a wait during a holiday weekend. Lunchtime hour was about a 25 minute wait. They had plenty of traditional Filipino dishes to try. The family combo was our final choice since our group was over 10ppl. Family combo was sure a great option to share. There was sinigang, karekare, seafood and bbq plate to stab at, gulaman, fried fish. Leche flan dessert was delicious. There was plenty of food with just a bit to take to go. Everyone had full bellies. (Whew at least there's that lol) Bathroom isn't appealing prepare yourself to get toilet paper at the cashier next to it. Broken stall but the stall next to it was fine. It's cool they have a hand washing sink just outside the bathroom, which is super convenient. The tastiest plate of the order was the sinigang. Everything else was good as well not so bad !

I discovered this place because a friend (who also didn't want to share it with me!) was having a super duper BAD day. Of course, I suggested we drink somewhere near his place. He said that he wanted to get wasted and that we should drink at his "secret place." So, why is Coal awesome? Be here on Sundays to Thursdays from 5-9PM to avail of their "Drink All You Can" Promo! It's only Php99 (2.11USD)! On Fridays and Saturdays, the same promo is Php168 (3.58USD); just stick to the weekdays! In the promo mechanics, you have to order a "pulutan" that will cost you about Php200 (4.26USD). But, still, all the beer you can drink for Php99. Looove it! It is such an awesome deal. I know that they just started this promo in September 2015. So far, they've kept extending it and I hope they will keep on extending it! :D About the food, it's your typical pinoy bar food. I recommend you try the Baked Mussels, Crispy Pork Strips, Chichaocoal Bulaklak, and the Coal Pork Sisig! If you wanna go cheap when you avail of their promo, here are the "pulutans" you should order: Onion Rings, Sweet Spicy Chicken, Smoked Hungarian Sausage, and Inihaw na Liempo! It's a bit difficult to get to but the trike drivers and guards in the area know the place very well. Also, they have private KTV rooms! Perfect for barkadas or an after office chill out session. :)

What i enjoyed was the liempo dish having a good amount of seasoning and great tasting dippin sauce. The fish and chips is disappointing in every way possible (looks, flavour, texture, etc). The fisherman's catch on the other hand is average at best. I would place the garlic rice ahead of these two dishes. Iced tea was good, and one thing that is nice but not exactly redemption is the sight of ABS CBN's tower right across the restaurant. Ambience: Good, nicely decorated without being excessive Taste: Subpar, definitely below expectations Presentation: Great Value: Good portions for the price Service: Great, they are responsive and agile Overall: Average, at least based on what we ordered (prolly not advisable to get their seafood dishes).
