Tea, Fish, Meat

Reviews summary

Gilligan's serves tasty, affordable Filipino fare in a remodeled, ship-themed space that’s relaxed and welcoming — ideal for groups and casual nights with live music. Highlights include grilled tuna belly, teriyaki chicken and kare-kare; portions and prices are generous. However, service can be slow and understaffed: drinks and bills sometimes arrive late, and food quality dips when busy. Vegetarian choices are limited and it can get noisy. Overall a dependable, budget-friendly spot for Filipino classics with lively late-night energy.

Was Hannah Sabban at Giligan's a mag?

The food is great and flavorful . They serve the drinks too late, so if you're thirsty you have to ask for the drinks to give it to you fast. It's not just the drinks, you also have to wait 20-30minutes for your food to be served. I give it 4 because somehow they have live music at night and the place is very accessible.

What Vernon Clelo dislikes about Giligan's:

Excited when I heard that the company ordered from your restaurant our dinner for tonight. Your food doesn't travel so well when delivered. I frequent your restaurant a lot before the lockdown. View all feedback.

Place is good, but during this pandemic. Place is a little dull.

A restaurant where you can easily eat Filipino cuisine such as Sisig. From 100 pesos for a set with rice.

Ordered a soup as appetizer and beef with french fries. French fries were served first!!! I complained no reaction. 15 min later soup and beef served together. Fries were cold in the meantime. Complained again nothing happened. Soup was too salty, meat was fat. Taste overall was average.Bad service, bad organization, bad food.

Ambiance: I miss the old look, but today's Giligans looks more relaxed, welcoming and less gloomy. Food: Boneless Chicken Teriyaki had mild sweet sauce, delicate meat and a fair serving size with iced tea. Grilled Tuna Belly is now one of my new favorites! Fish was really tender and delicious with and without toyomansi. Kare-kareng Gulay was usually very good, especially with Bagoong (shrimp paste). Melonen Shake was good, but I wish they served more. Nachos was like that. Sizzling Beef in Sinigang Gravy was fascinating enough to try, but I couldn't taste anything Saures. The texture of the meat was good. Sizzling Tofu was my second favorite and lucky enough, we had more than one order! It was sweet, creamy and funny to chew. Service: We went in since nobody approached us outside.

Giligans has redesigned their interior to look like a ship that is much better than the normal Resto look before. This is a great place to eat Filipino food, especially if you are in large groups. It tastes mostly pig pigs. We have the sinus sa miso na bangus and the pig inihaw. The price is also acceptable. However, I think they lack waiters because I can only see 1 or 2 running around and it really slows down the entire service. Even getting the bill took so long.

The food was tasty and reasonably priced but service was a little underwhelming, drinks arrived 15 minutes into the meal. The place was not that busy, so no excuse there. Not on really. I may give another branch a try due to the food being good.

I visited here in January 2020. As for me, service was bad. Hence I evaluated 3. However, if you could meet good staffs, your assessment is different from me. I ordered fried fish with sweet vinegar and mayonnaise sauce. it took quite very long time. I almost went out without eating. it tasted not bad.

The garlic squid is good but the vegetable kare kare has the sauce that has the texture of a paste. It seems it has a lot of cornstarch. Needs a lot of improvement.
