I have a number of allergies. I am gluten free, soy free, and have several others. My friend is dairy free and allergic to sesame, along with additional restrictions. Trying new places can be exhausting, but the staff here was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. They were able to customize dishes to fit all of our allergies without hesitation.

Why we loved it * The food was Genuinely delicious, well prepared, and thoughtfully made * The staff was extremely Accommodating, showing strong allergy awareness and confidence when answering questions * The atmosphere felt welcoming, authentic, comfortable, inclusive, and genuinely Relatable * The Menu Variety allowed me to enjoy an entrée, an appetizer, a side, dessert, and a drink while staying within my dietary needs * Easy Accessibility with convenient access and parking * The overall environment felt warm and Neat, with smooth ordering and checkout that made the entire experience feel effortless Bottom line Manila Bay Express made dining out feel safe, welcoming, and enjoyable.

If you need your food by a certain time, make sure to call ahead so you can pick it up since preparing your food usually takes around 30 min--this is a slow fast food type of concept! I'm Filipina but don't have many chances to eat Filipino food, so I was excited to try this local gem! I got the chibog platter and shared with my husband for lunch on the weekend. Hoping to cater for a holiday in the future! The owners are so KIND and WELCOMING (classic Filipinos) and would love to educate and share their love of the Philippines. Hope you have a chance to try a taste of something new!

I've been on an exploratory restaurant kick lately. That said, I am typically open minded and…read morewilling to try anything once. We were looking for some place to get dinner in walking distance and decided on trying Ting's as I've yet to try Filipino in the KC metro. I knew from previously walking through the farmer's market on the weekends, that this would be a casual setting. I'm familiar with Filipino food so I was excited to try this spot. However, the whole set up felt odd. There's a touch screen up front for you to place your order and pay, while the cook is behind the glass cooking up orders. You have no one at the counter to speak to or ask any questions. Mind you, I was not expecting a fine dining situation, but once the food was ready and it came out on a paper plate, something in you sinks. You expect that sort of presentation from a BBQ joint. I don't expect the sole cook to have the ability to also do front of house tasks, but there was no signage indicating you're to retrieve your own plastic ware. Also, no napkins anywhere, and the dude was clearly trying to clean up and get outta there, so I didn't bother asking for any. As for the food, it was fine. Nothing to write home about. I got the chicken adobo since it's something I've had at friend's homes before, but this lacked some salt & omph. I didn't bother trying my partner's pancit. Although, he gave me a bite of shrimp that tasted over cooked. This might be better as a lunch option when things are more lively on the weekends. ___ Heads up: while their hours say they're open until 7pm, they stop taking orders around 6pm... so if you're a Rivermarket local looking for dinner options, this may not be it.

I like the food court here better and now there's a banh mi/pho place as well (haven't tried). They have homemade soy milk, frozen homemade dumplings, ducks and cakes for order.

I was looking to make Vietnamese fried flour rice cakes (bánh bột chiên) and I could only find them here. Before Pan-Asia got a makeover, 888 was my go-to. They used to be worse about labeling prices, but they've gotten better. Unfortunately my most recent visit had a couple items on the receipt that were scanned extra times and my partner hadn't noticed. Staff if always nice and helpful otherwise.

I got 8 items and was charge almost 90 dollars. I came home and mind you i am 5 months pregnant, i was going to fry some squid because it is one thing f most filipinos fav dried fish, found black molds. Apparently it says on the package that it has to be in the cold environment at all times. Ut the owner is just letting it sits in the counter with room temperature. No wonder why molds grew inside. I called her and she got an attitude and was told" it is normal to have mold in the dried fish." So she was saying that it is ok for pregnant woman to eat mold. I told her i am servsafe certified and run a multi million dollar restaurant and i know what i am talking about. And i was told to just return it. Im Hoping she would not re sell it.

I also appreciated the skincare and makeup section. Some of the products have testers so you can smell/feel them. I did not interact with any of the workers because they looked hard at work, besides my cashier who was friendly. This is a giant store with tons of products and room to roam.
