My wife and I went to Timog last nite 042425 for dinner. The place is nice , clean, simple decor. We ordered pinakbet and crispy pata. Food came - pinakbet is okay then my favorite crispy pata came - it was big looks very good skin crunchy started eating the skin of course and the knuckles i was enjoying it but then when I started eating the meat itself , the inside is cold as the nose of a cat and I was very dissapointed being my first time here and recommended. Well they offered to give me a new one but I declined I jst told the waiter to take it off my bill which he did. Waiter was very nice and apologetic - it shld be more better if the cook or somebody from the kitchen came out and apologize or the manager. Maybe someday I will go back and try other food there. read more

I went here for the breakfast/lunch buffet when it first opened a couple of months ago. There were very few options, and the food available included rice, garlic rice, eggs, sausage, and pork. The food wasn't fresh, and some of the items were cold. It seemed like they maybe forgot to turn on the heat or they had just recently turned it on, so the food had probably been sitting out for a while. I was very disappointed considering the photos that I've seen others post previously. read more

First time coming here. I wished they had better signage. You have to go inside the main lion market entrance to reach this place. Once we found the place, we got seated right away. It was pretty dead during lunch time, probably since they just opened up so not a lot of people know about it yet. We ordered sago gulaman for drinks and it was good! A lot of sago and gilaman!we ordered 3 and my mom finished pretty much all the left overs lol!for the dishes we ordered beef kaldereta, the flavor was just right. The meat was tender which was nice. The dinuguan was yummy! They used ears and meat it was pretty soupy, so I wished it had more meat. The flavor was good though, it was good to mix with the rice. my mom ordered 2 orders to go too! Lastly the canton bihon. Can't really say anything about it since I didn't try it. I would definitely come back and try the other dishes next.time. Also I heard they have like a brunch buffet in the weekend so that's probably worth going to!I must say it's pretty pricy for the portions , maybe lower the price or make the portions just a little bigger idk read more

Located inside the market, it was kind of hard to find. It was closer to the market than anything. When me and a colleague came in we were quick to order since we only had a short lunch. Food was ok but could've been better. Tocino was a little lacking in his perspective. Time to serve was also a little on the long side. Ambiance was nice tho. I liked the potted plants hanging around. read more

The ambiance is very nice. It's oddly located inside a grocery store building. Gladly there were signs to guide us in. It was lunchtime when we visited and there were only two of us, so we didn't get to try a lot of their food. We had the volcano kare kare and the squid appetizer. It was both delicious and the serving size was generous. I feel more servers could help this place, to get orders in and clear out tables faster. read more

It was an amazing ambiance & service. Food are amazing. We ordered beef caldareta & kinilaw. Definitely coming back to this location.

We are waiting for an hour to eat my lunch very slow service; they serve the food one by one without rice. They need more staff because I saw only 2 service crew members, The ambiance is good. read more

Me , my wife and sister went to this place for lunch. Oh man! we sure picked a great place. If i could rate this place more than 5 star , i would. Food was amazing , ordered chicken inasal its crazy good, sinigang shrimp and pampano as well and they put a little twist in the broth added pineapple in it. bangus sisig is perfect doesnt taste fishy at all and not oily. Everything was legit. Chef really took the time and effort to make it . Service is quick and very courteous. Halo halo is a must. 1 of it is good for 2-3 people to share. Ambiance is comforting and very clean inside. Cant really complain about anything. Definitely will come back to this place and try out their different dishes. read more

Love the food that why i want my family to exprience it, so i decided to celebrate my son bithday so told them i'm bring my own cake, and i never heard this thy charge $25.00 corge fee for bringing my own CAKE, why?, and your going to spend $400 plus to their restaurant and still going to charge your for bringing your own cake. I only knew about corge fee for the drinks not for the CAKE.. read more

I came here one week ago with friends for lunch and we were impressed with everything. We enjoyed all of our food. The tortang talong was well made and had a topping of tomatoes. The pancit bison was delicious, perfectly seasoned, no additional patis needed. On suggestion would be to add more veggies to the pancit. We also had Bicol Express and enjoyed the crispy pork and that it was a little spicy but not too much. The jalapeno slices added to the spice or you could take it off if you wished. I wish it could be less oily. We loved the ambience, very simple but elegant and classy. Its location inside the building where the Lion's grocery is , makes it a challenge to find so I think they need to communicate this on their socials. So all in all we enjoyed our lunch and we all want to come back soon. read more

Thought this place was going to be good. We ordered lumpia Shanghai and there was a hard piece of bone in it. I ordered a lunch plate and they brought out a platter of one item alacarte and I had to wait another 15 minutes for them to put some of what they cooked already on a plate with rice. My fiancé ordered wanted chicken BBQ they were out of it so he went with the pork and got BBQ fat instead. When he reminded them they still didn't bring my food they said another 10 minutes. I finally got my food when my fiancé was already done and it was cold. I couldn't believe it! They said they were short staffed but this is no way to run a restaurant making people wait for their food and then finally serving it cold is ridiculous. If I could give this place negative stars I would. read more

We went here for dinner and ordered lumpiang shanghai, grilled pork belly, chicken barbecue, ensaladang talong, sizzling squid, lomi and halo2. We enjoyed all the food especially lomi (awesome!) and sizzling squid. We just hoped the squid were really sizzling on the platter but it was really good so that's ok. The halo2 was the best I've ever had. The service is fast and the staff are very friendly. The restaurant's ambiance is very cozy. We will come back for sure! read more

Timog is inside the building next to the supermarket in Lion Plaza. We came to try their crispy palabok and it didn't disappoint! We also tried a couple of other Filipino staples- tuna kinilaw, sisig and the ultimate test: sinigang! Food was very good! Ambiance is also pleasant and inviting. I am giving a four because they only had one server working and our food took ~20 mins to get to our table. read more

Made us wait 40 mins for our lunch while people that came after us was served under 20 mins. We were told they cook the food in house that's why it took so long but then we were also told they didn't expect the demand that was the reason. I prefer honesty. read more

I was just curious about the Restaurant last Sunday l convinced my better half to come we both left for Timog Sunday buffet Enjoyed the food tried the Ube Halo Halo OMG was the bomb And finally got to meet Vince the owner Great guy read more

The staff was very friendly. They do something fun for birthdays. The food wasn't anything special or anything bad. It tasted like normal filipino food. There wasnt many choices too. Since there isnt a lot of variety i would hope for more tasty dishes. The price for the all you can eat is too expensive for what you get. It would be nice if sodas and juices were included instead of a separate price tag. Overall it was a nice casual meal but i wouldnt go again mainly because of the price/value. read more

I saw a post about this new Filipino restaurant on Instagram so I wanted to check it out. It is located "inside" of the building next door to the Lions grocery store. From outside the building there is a "Timog" sign but where it is located is not the door you think you will enter through. To enter the restaurant you can walk through the main entrance to head in towards Lion Supermarket or from outside on the right side there is a side door you can enter from. The ambiance of the restaurant was a modern & well lit that gave it a wow, this is a nice spot! It has plenty of seating. When we visited it was lunch time and there was only one couple there and a lady ordering take out. Another couple came in right before we had finished eating. The restaurant was not busy for a Wednesday afternoon. On the table there was a sign for senior citizens that they can get 10% off on Tuesdays. The service was ok. In my opinion, the food was just ok. We ordered the Tortang talong rice plate, Dinuguan rice plate, and the Pares ni Enteng rice plate. Along with all the rice plates it was served with sabaw(broth). All of the dishes I found were a bit pricey and bland for what they cost. We were told on weekends there is a buffet. We might give that a try sometime or maybe just have dessert and try their huge halo halo to share. read more

Avoid this place if you want real good filipino food. GO TO ISLA ITS ONLY 5 mins away. We ordered chicken and it was still bleeding. We were told to wait another 30 mins for the chicken to cook again. We ordered the pancit and it tasted like fish (tinapa) it was really gross and unsatisfying. We waited almost an hour for just two dishes. They are more expensive than ISLA, save your money save your time save your stomachs go to ISLA were it is safe. Oh and the lechon they advertised its only on weekends at lunch time so if you want lechon go to hayward. Ok thanks bye first and last and never again. read more

I called ahead to place a to-go order at 4:56 PM and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived at 5:30 PM--well after the estimated time--only to find out my order wasn't ready yet. I was told the delay was due to a party they were serving. My food wasn't ready until 5:48 PM. If they knew there would be delays, they should have been upfront about it when I called. I understand things can get busy, but clear communication is key--especially when customers are planning around the time they were given. Unfortunately, the lack of transparency and long wait made for a frustrating experience. read more

First I want to say it's pricey and the quantity is not that much. Chicken inasal came with 4 pieces for 18 dollars. That's really expensive. The spaghetti tasted americanized does not have that filipino traditional flavor. I rather go to jollibee to be honest. I just feel for the price quantity not a lot . I felt it was disappointing because it's expensive but portion little. I know prices are going up but it's expensive. read more

Noticed the sign the week they opened and came in not knowing it was buffet style. Price seemed steep $30 pp for breakfast but we stayed to try it out. Love the Philippine decor and the lighting. Staff was very polite and welcoming. Our waiter explained the menu and the options. The food was good but not for the steep price. I could get a silog breakfast for under $15 but again since this is a buffet you can go back for more. I figure, after 2 plates you break even. But eating two plates of heavy Filipino food just isn't healthy. I also wish they had other non meat options. With that said, I'm glad I stopped by but I don't eat that much and am more vegetarian so I don't think I'll be back. I do suggest giving it a try as it may be something others prefer. read more

We were told this is still a soft opening so all items are not available yet. Ambiance- nice set up and cozy. Service- the waitress was really nice and checks up on timely matter. Food- Lechon kawaii can't go wrong but the sinigang is a meh not sour enuf and kinda tasted weird. Sisig was a meh and drowning in oil and wish they threw an egg in there. maybe I'll come back when they are fully opened and a complete menu. read more

I ordered from the catering menu for a work thing. I ordered several trays of food, which included lumpia, kaldereta beef, chicken inasal, ginataang sitaw at kalabasa, and garlic rice. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The inside is beautiful and comfortable. The service is super friendly. And the food...DELICIOUS. Everyone enjoyed the food. The lumpia has the right amount of crispiness. The kaldereta, garlic rice, and kalabasa were so good. The chicken inasal is to die for, delicious. I can't wait to dine at the restaurant and try more of their menu. This place is a must try. I recommend it 10/10! read more

The restroom is only one; all guests need another one to make it convenient. The buffet menu is not sufficient for $30 per person; they should add more. Dessert and drinks are not included in the buffet. read more

Love their buffet style food. The food taste good, sometimes ok, depending on what's being served. I'd love to make this a weekend family lunch spot. However, every time I come here with my toddler, multiple staff come to ask her age. I get the gist people are checking if I'm telling her true age for the buffet? Maybe I'll bring her birth cert next time. It became bothersome or uneasy the third time around while we're eating. Should I just pay for my toddler for the buffet? Are we wanted here? Should we just go? lol that's too bad. read more

This is our second time at Timog. The highlight is definitely the food. Sizzling baby squid in a simple ink braise sauce and tender, the sinigang shrimp and the Pampano timog way with pineapple had a beautiful blend of tartness to the palate. The lechon kawali was not fatty or oily and just the right crispness. For desert the pandan halo halo to indulge. Add to it all, sweet sound Jackie Chavez read more

As the saying that goes " First impression last" but sorry to say that my 2nd visit to this restaurant didn't go well. The initial visit ( Thursday afternoon with my Mom ) was uneventful. We tried the palabok and Lomi and they were impressively good with excellent service provided by Jasper. I came back on a busy and noisy Saturday evening with my friends to try some specialty foods from the menu. But to my surprised, though staffs were friendly, they were inattentive and inefficient in handling orders on that day. It took 30 minutes apart to deliver our ordered foods ( Bangus sisig, Chicharon bulaklak, Pinakbet) and much to my frustrations, my favorite Crispy pata ( main reason for the visit ) was overlooked. Overall, I will still recommend this place and maybe will just do advance to go orders in the future. read more

I've dined here with my family when it first opened. Tonight, I was very disappointed with the service. We waited so long for someone to take our order which was about 30 minutes, then 45 minutes later, 1 out of 2 appetizers finally came. We got our main dish probably 30 minutes after. Our 2nd appetizer never made it to the table. We noticed that other customers who came after us got served before us and had all their food immediately. Don't know if I'll ever come back. This was just poor service. read more

Buffet Review -- The food was delicious--everything had a great taste! They offered a basic selection of Filipino dishes, though I'd have loved a bit more variety to choose from. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive and there whenever we needed them. The ambiance was pleasant, with decor that gave the place a somewhat relaxing vibe. The tables felt a little small--I ended up sitting at the corner of ours just to have enough space to eat comfortably, but that might just be a me thing! :) read more

We will definitely be back!!! read more

Very good place to go. My family ate here during weekends and enjoyed their buffet. Small place but very clean and cozy. The server is very respectful. We will come back here for sure read more

Did not know their schedule but got there around 2PM. We were told it's buffet style but most of the dishes were almost gone. We asked if they were going to refill but said no. Kinda disappointed because we paid the same price for buffet which was $30 per person but did not even get to taste the other food well. I wish they also told us they're closing at 3pm when we entered. Still pretty new and I think they're still figuring out. Maybe I'll try it again months later but really disappointed with our experience today. read more

Family restaurant....Friendly and delicious food. Please support Filipino's restaurant.

Worst Sunday Brunch Buffet Experience. Where do I start? The food is OK. Nothing spectacular. The buffet station is small. The chafing dishes are small and shallow. It took them at least 10 minutes to refill the food. By the time they refill it, it took just 4-5 people to fill their plates and the food is gone again. When I was there , half of the dishes are empty waiting for a refill. And again, a never ending wait for the refill. So annoying. You can see a lot of puzzled looks from the other diners as well, each asking if ever they were going replenish the food. The selection was also subpar. Dessert was almost non-existent. Only a sweet coconut porridge and coffee. Mostly pork dishes. No beef tapa or corned beef that you would expect in a typical Filipino brunch. read more

I like the quality of the food. It's a good place well run, servers were very good. Ambience is good as well.
