I ate breakfast here 3 times during my stay and was pleased to see that the hot dishes were rotated…read moreso there was variety. The included items were a mixture of savory American (eggs, bacon, corned beef hash), Filipino (longanisa, fish, adobo), and other (dim sum??) breakfast items, an egg bar, a waffle maker, cereals, fresh fruit (only 2 kinds though), filipino sweets (my favorite!) The first night I stayed I had dinner too. They have a ton of items to order, apparently 7 types of cuisines are served so they have multiple menus depending on your mood. In my opinion, this is a bit of an overkill. Jack of all trades, master of none. We ordered calamari, broccoli, lasagna, and kare kare. Calamari was good, broccoli was good, kare kare was ok, but lasagna was very weird (sauce too creamy, wrong type of cheeses used). Cannot recommend the lasgana. Generally the food was good, and so was the service. Definitely worth it for me to have breakfast included in the hotel reservation, and start the day right. Cute decor as well. As far as coming for dinner goes, it's ok but not truly excellent. Some menu tweaking has to be done.

I waited about 10 minutes with 3 people in front of me, and another 5 for my food. I asked for no sauce on my burger, and the cashier had a hard time understanding, but she found someone who did. The service was pretty fast and efficient. Though the seating area was overpacked and inadequate, the interaction with the staff was pleasant. I swear the chicken here was a little bigger than the one from the other Jolllibee I went to also.

At first you would think you are entering a resort, there is a humongous pool right as you enter the property going to the restaurant. The restaurant itself is cozy. I felt like I just entered a friend's home to eat. We were greeted warmly by the staff and promptly seated to our table. Ordered several dishes. Crispy Pata, Bagnet, Thai soup, a fish dish, pakbet, fried chicken. EXCELLENT FOOD!!!!! We were also given a rice dish and a Turon dessert. Again very delicious! We will be leaving Tacloban soon. Can't wait to come back here and eat at Village Chef!

Was so very excited about trying this place and could not be more disappointed when we arrived…read morethere was one big group and many empty tables. My fiancee and I sat at a small table and were brought menus and water. That was the last good service we encountered that evening. Our server could only be described as dour and sullen at best. We placed our order, eventualy, and began to wait and wait and wait. The large party before us was already eating, so I assumed they would not be a factor. I was wrong, they started ordering more things and they were delivered whilst we waited for our appetizers. In the meantime, another group ( small) came in. They ordered their food and what do you know they had it delivered before us as well. About 20 minutes into the waiting period the angry waitress informed my fiancee that they were out of her entree and to order something else. The exact same thing happened with her desert order. I tried to get our supposed server's attention only to be blatantly ignored. When they finally brought our food, all at once, I asked why others were served before us. The only answer I got " they have reservations ". What totally bs, a reservation gets you a table, not preferential treatment the worst part was the insult added to the injury; they added a 10% SERVICE charge

The name Balikbayan means "To Come Back to your Homeland." Locals shared this is a tourist favorite. Mainly because they open early , 10am to 10pm daily, and can accommodate huge groups. You can even order Filipino breakfast here even after 10am. Love their inihaw (grilled in charcoal) squid. They stuffed them with onions and tomatoes, served with their special sauce. The Halo-Halo was a bit of a let down, but their excellent service and great Island Style cabanas setting made up for it. This would not be my first choice here for dining in Bantayan Island as there are many other foodies in the area as it caters more for tourists, but I would not rule them out for their hours, good price, convenience near the beach and their excellent service. Definitely worth trying. Cheers!
