The staff are warm, the atmosphere unpretentious, and the food comes out fresh not fast. Now, the seafood, especially the grilled fish, is a fleeting treasure, it's gone, sold out, vanished, sometimes not even available that day. So come prepared and have backup choices. Maybe even a third choice. But you won't go hungry. There's a generous spread of local greens, vegetables, soups -- the kind of dishes that remind you food here is tied to the land as much as the sea. Chicken and pork are reliable staples, and they usually stick around longer. There's parking. Plenty of seating, inside, outside, room for plenty. Cebuano flavor, served fresh, without fuss. Isn't perfect but it's real.

We came here right when it opened at 5pm on a Sunday and we were seated immediately. I had to ask…read moretwo different waiters for water and still waited a long time. We already ordered our food and rice was already served but the water is not there yet. So that was disappointing.. For appetizers, we got baked talaba and I kid you not all I can taste is cheese and you can tell that it was burnt because the oysters are only 1/4 size of the shell. For main course we got the Grilled Tuna Belly which was decent and has good flavors and Bicol express that was mainly I beli green beans and barely any meat. This location is across the hotel we were staying at so I was happy that I didn't have to walk pretty far because I was really hungry. But, if you walk atleast 1/2 a mile there's Robinsons and other restaurants to choose from. I really wanted to like their food but if you're going to serve your customer burnt oysters then I guess you don't really care.

What I DON'T Like: - tables take a while to get cleaned - food is served really long - presentation is far from stellar - service crew are sluggish and unhappy looking Reviewing this place is actually a chore to me because I just couldn't find anything good to talk about. This is by far the most unaccommodating, most unappetizing, most unexciting Sunburst branch I've ever visited. The one in Ayala and then the one in Mango Avenue is where you should go if you want a truly unforgetable chicken experience in Cebu. Try Sunburst Chicken elsewhere, not here!

But Philippines's Jollibee menu is surreal. And I'm glad. LoL. It's the first dinner we got as soon as we landed the province of Cebu! FOOD: 8pcs Chicken Joy - as usual, good and greasy at the same time. LoL. Feels like home, the comfort food for a regular Feb if she's not sick. Jollibee is Jollibee and chicken joy tastes the same the ones in Ala Moana Center. Service is okay. Lack of staffs so it took us to have our bucket for more than 25 minutes. Dining allowed and they put some plastic in the middle of the table as a protection. Tbh, I rather do takeout and have comfort eating my chicken joy at home with my younger siblings. Overall it's good and experience is okay. PS; forgot to take photos on our bucket of chicken joy. We're so hangry, that's why. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps.

Don't get me wrong, their fried chicken is also pretty good, and comes in the same flavors you used too, Soy Garlic, Spicy, Honey Citrus, or Crunchy Garlic, all which taste great. In the States, two pieces of fried chicken just isn't enough because because of size but here it is.
