WHY GO

It’s one of the best buffets in town, especially Sunday brunch where you find lobster thermidor, a good sushi and sashimi selection and the tender and juicy lechon (suckling pig). Breakfast buffet even offers Filipino fare like tapa, longganisa, and the ubiquitous dried fish in many variants. It also features a good long list of wines by the glass.

TATLER TIPS

Make a reservation. Come early as the crowd is there way before opening time—12:00 noon for lunch. You can have the USDA rib-eye done to your exact liking as they throw it on the grill for doneness. The signature sushi selection generously serves soft shell crab, fresh mackerel, and sea urchin so don't be shy about loading up on these. Head to the Middle Eastern corner for some pita and succulent kebabs.
