I appreciate that there’s no time limit for tables. While it can be a bit pricey, I believe it's worth it. I recommend making a reservation in advance. Service: Dine-in."

The biggest issue was the presence of cockroaches everywhere—they were openly crawling on the counters, right next to the food. The quality of the food was also quite poor, especially considering the price. The sushi was left out under warm lights, which is concerning. The ice cream station was frustrating as well, with a long line where you had to serve yourself and deal with hard blocks of ice cream. It felt unsanitary with so many people crowding around the same tubs. Overall, it was far too crowded, with people pushing by and chatting while standing over the food. The food wasn't replenished quickly enough, and when it was, a rush of people would swarm the area. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you’re okay with these issues.

My advice to the owner: invest more time in training your managers, hosts, and servers. I left before things escalated further, as the situation became increasingly volatile. I would never spend my hard-earned American dollars in such a disorganized place—one that is less orderly than a simple corner eatery.

The quality varies; while some dishes are just decent, many others are truly outstanding. I highly recommend Buffet 101 to anyone visiting Cebu, as well as to locals who might be unsure about which of the many buffet options to choose from.
