October 28, 2024 at 4:53 PMMy wife and I came to have a taste of the Philippines in London. Wholly impressed with the quality of food here, albeit quite expensive.
We had Tapsilog (£16), chicken honey chili wings (£9), Garlic rice (£5) and a calamansi drink (£6). A bit on the expensive side really, but can wholly justify the cost compared to quality of food. Wow. Blown away.
I would caution the owner wisely against attempting to charge a 12.5% service charge without stating so first. I challenged this and was asked for a valid reason to remove. I stayed that this is not a statutory charge in the UK. It also must be clearly stated on menus before ordering.
There is downstairs seating, if you’re over 6ft please watch your head. The toilet was a little dusty but not dirty. No hand soap (empty bottle left on the shelf).
Despite the niggles, I would recommend coming here, but please challenge the dirty tactic of service charging, especially for food which I’d consider expensive in the first place. This is elevated Filipino food done well. Tapsilog is a traditional breakfast food but it was enjoyed for a day meal.
As we left, the server left a sour taste by not saying goodbye to me after challenging the service charge. He said goodbye to my wife though. That’s a shame
