Their food is very seasonal. Sometimes it tastes great, sometimes it tastes like crap. 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.

Well I have been wanting to go here for awhile I seen it on a travel show so when I arrived in…read moreDavao I made a point to come here. The food was very good the lechon kawali was the best I have had the tuna tail and goat were good as well but the reason for a two star rating was the service. I am in the restaurant business and we have gone out for dinner every night here in Davao for over two weeks and the service here was by far the worst. We were greeted in a very lukewarm way when seated we were never given water our glasses sat empty the whole night. I ordered San Miguel Light my response from the waitress was out sir so I than ordered a regular San Miguel she said let me check and than just said out sir. So we each ordered a boku shake and my wife got hers I had to wait another 10 minutes for mine. In a country with such friendly people it's a shame the have these types working here.

My family and our guests have had a great time with at least 5 different types of meat in one sitting plus a bunch of Filipino cuisines. The only knock is the long waiting time before food arrives (20 to 25 minutes).

I wasn't blown away by Penong's chicken. The service was decent even with locals. With a lot of the…read morebbq chicken restaurants there is unlimited rice refills. The chicken was a bit too sweet for me but still good to try. The price for a pork/chicken combo was about 150 pesos. Chicken butt kind of tasted like chicken nuggets. Beware of the little chilis they give, small but lethal. I wouldn't try the water cause it's from the tap. Just stick with soda or bottled water.

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.

Their food is NOT as good as the first branch. While all of their meals look the same, it's…read moredefinitely not cooked the same it's hard to enjoy food you used to like from the other branch but was served bland from this branch. We ordered a lot, lemon chicken, salt and garlic crabs, spicy spare ribs and etc and none of them lived up to their expectations from the main restaurant. It's really spacious on the inside, you can hold events and meetings in there and there's a fair amount of space for parking outside the premises so that's a good thing. But then again, I wouldn't go here for Chinese food, I would rather go to their original branch (which is just right in front of this one)
