A harmonious blend of sweet, spicy and savory flavors and complex components are beautifully balanced in every meal. This unique cuisine will surely leave the diner with a lasting impression. Get Thai'd up from Tuesday to Thursday evenings, 6:00-10:30 p.m.

Friday nights present an abundant supply of fresh seafood like sashimi, lobsters, and live crabs cooked to one's liking. The "Friday Night Seafood Buffet" is a selection of starters, hot items, mains, cheese station, crepe station and homemade desserts. On Saturday nights, there's the "Prime Rib Buffet" with slow-cooked U.S. Prime Rib of beef and the famous Lechon de Cebu on the side.
