Things happened, including accidentally spilling water (knocking over a glass of water) to one of our guests by one of their servers. Looking at the positive side, we got classic Filipino dishes, and we were amazed by the preparation of the food and its authentic taste. The staffs were nice, ambiance is good, nothing too fancy. The location is a 30 minute drive away from the nearby big city of Metro Manila. I recommend this place for you to try out,

This is one of those hole-in-the-wall places the locals love to go to and only know about. We came here late Wednesday evening and they were open till 10p. They offer two kinds of thin slices of meat to fry while they have japchae, spicy tofu soup, veggie pancake, breaded fish that was soggy with sauce, sautéed mushrooms, two different styles kim chi, and others. Selections were small and ok. I think the only thing I really liked here is the meat, tofu soup, and japchae but I heard the price is very cheap for this buffet. They do still have the traditional peanut sauce, and peanut oil with salt n pepper for your meats. They do offer alcohol and sodas. The place was small and only had a few parking places in front. Was crowded so this means it's popular with the locals. You can make reservations. There AC is blasting so if you sit by the AC, the burners will blow out like us. Our meats were not being cooked continuously but the servers, helped to solve that issue. For all-u-can-eat food, really cheap price per person and good customer service, I would come back...

It's right across Piandre Salon and Eat Fresh in Little Baguio, San Juan. The food selection at the buffet is quite small but very good. The dishes I always go for are the buttered corn, bacon-wrapped dokbokki, fried fish, the bulgogi and the banchans. Once you are seated, they give you wooden trays of meat: a mix of pork and beef trays. Thinly sliced, ready to crisp on the grill! They will continue serving the trays until you tell them to stop! Honestly, don't stop until I've had a total of 10 trays! This is an awesome dining experience for only Php299. Drinks are not included but you can order a Liter of regular coke. They have Korean ice cream here too; Php65 for the gold fish ice cream! I suggest that you make a reservation if you plan to eat here during peak hours. Also, skip the rice! Just enjoy all the meat that you can eat! :D

Complaint Against Buffet 101 Glorietta 2 (Dine at your own risk)…read more This is to share our very disappointing experience at Buffet 101 Glorietta 2 during our family gathering on December 26, 2025 (lunch, 11:30 AM - 3:30PM). We were a group of 28 pax, celebrating our Christmas party, our late grandmother's death anniversary, December birthday celebrators, and a family reunion. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a joyful occasion turned into a frustrating and disrespectful experience due to the following: 1. Reservation Issue * We reserved the function room as early as November 11, 2025, with a 50% downpayment as required. * Prior to payment, my sister personally visited on Nov 10 and was ushered by 2 staff members to the function room. I also rechecked the venue the next day before making the payment. * I even received a call on Dec 25th to confirm our reservation in the function room. * Despite these, upon arrival on Dec 26, the receptionist claimed our reservation had no endorsement for the function room. We had to explain and insist, and only after waiting 10-15 minutes were we accommodated--because another group was already occupying the room we reserved. 2. Food Quality * While advertised as "unlimited refill," several food stations were incomplete. * Items like pork belly were served cold, and some stations had missing dishes, which was disappointing for a buffet of this caliber. 3. Birthday Presentation Mismanagement * Around 1:30-2 PM, staff offered the customary birthday sing-and-dance for our three celebrators. We agreed, expecting it to happen promptly. * Instead, staff delayed, setting up equipment but never performing. This wasted our scheduled time for parlor games, forcing us to cancel the presentation altogether. 4. Food Restock Cut-Off * At 2:30 PM, staff informed us that food restocking would end at 2:45 PM. We acknowledged this and thanked the member who informed us. * At 2:40 PM, I settled the remaining balance and even gave a tip--something I regretted after what happened next. 5. The Blackout Incident * At 3:10 PM., the lights in our function room were "unintentionally" turned off. Not for a second, but for several minutes. One by one, we went outside. * Only our room was affected, creating chaos as family members scrambled to gather belongings using phone flashlights. * Adding insult to injury, my brother lost ₱500, during the blackout. 6. Poor Handling & Lack of Compensation * Some of the relatives confronted the staff and manager in the lobby. The staff member/cashier responsible admitted it was "unintentional". The manager kept on repeating the same explanation as the cashier's, who switched off the lights, but never offered even a single good resolution. It seemed to us that he offered the staff member as the bait. They apologized, but the apology felt insincere. * When asked about compensation, the manager and staff fell silent. No courtesy check was done before switching off the lights, and no concrete resolution was offered. Additionally, no proper channels are available for such incidents except for platforms such as their Facebook page, Google Reviews, and TripAdvisor. * We remained diplomatic and respectful, with no cussing, but the lack of accountability was unacceptable! This experience left our entire family frustrated, disrespected, and disappointed. What should have been a day of celebration was ruined by poor management, lack of professionalism, and negligence. We sincerely hope Buffet 101 Glorietta 2 takes this as a lesson to improve customer service, reservation handling, food quality, and staff accountability. Families come to your establishment to celebrate milestones--please ensure they leave with happy memories, not frustration. And as I told your staff members that day: "If you were in our shoes, having fun and celebrating with your family members, how would you feel if the lights were suddenly turned off without warning? How would that make you feel?"

With his extensive experience in Europe and in Asia, travels around the world, and of course, him being from Italy -I might be biased here, but really, one of the best places for a gastronomic adventure; he can definitely rise to the occasion. Cucina offers international flavors that appeal to the local palate. The dishes weren't tweaked to the flavors that we're used to but were handpicked according to the ones that everyone would certainly like and find more than interesting. On weekdays, you'll get to indulge on Chef's Beet Cured Salmon with Crème Fraiche, Ossobucco ala Milanese with Soft Yellow Polenta, and Beef Cheek Couscous and Grilled Vegetable. While their Italian Porchetta Stuffed with Sun Dry Tomato and Black Olive Pate, Baked Salted Fish with Chef Giuseppe's Special Sauce, and Wild Mushroom Risotto are what await the hungry weekend warriors. The crowd favorite for the night would have to be the Beef Cheek Couscous, but my heart goes to the Italian Porchetta that I still can't get over.

It's good value for money and well worth the spend for an occasion. Sometimes, they have foie gras as a part of the selection, but I've only seen that happen once. I wish their Filipino station looked more appetizing. Sadly, the dishes appeared dry, like they had been sitting there a while, overlooked by the diners who preferred the pasta, seafood choices, and carving station. I must have had two plates of lobsters when I was last there on a Sunday night, though! I really enjoyed that, plus the service of the accommodating wait staff on duty.

There was a huge display of macarons on the dessert station but sadly, it wasn't available yet at the time of our visit. The desserts were impeccably soooo good!
