Description

**Cabalen: A Mixed Bag of Filipino Flavors**

While Cabalen offers the promise of an expansive selection of Filipino dishes, reviews reveal a range of experiences. Some patrons express disappointment over cold and poorly prepared items, such as burnt lumpia and unsavory chicken adobo. However, others rave about the freshness and quality of popular dishes like sisig and the familiarity of the dining atmosphere. Service has received mixed feedback, with suggestions for clearer food labeling to enhance the dining experience. Despite some operational challenges, recent management changes seem to indicate a commitment to improving customer satisfaction. Overall, Cabalen stands as a restaurant with potential, but consistency remains a concern.

This was my first experience with Filipino cuisine, and while I wouldn’t consider myself an expert, I do love food and can tell when something is delicious. I must say, I truly enjoyed my meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient with us. The food was excellent; we ordered two combo plates along with some drinks. My children, who are usually very picky eaters, enjoyed every single bite. The restaurant offers a great selection of dishes and desserts. It was also clean and we felt very comfortable during our visit.

I've been a fan of this place for many years, but I'm always let down when they don't have their banana cat dish. You know what I mean. - Yun

My partner attempted to place an order for Christmas over the phone several times on December 21st. When she finally reached someone, she provided her order along with her phone number and credit card information. Unfortunately, the person who took the call never repeated the order back or provided a confirmation number. We learned the hard way that our order didn’t even exist. However, as of December 31st, the owner, Glecy, has implemented changes, and we truly appreciate the improvements.

The lumpia was delicious! I received 11 pieces instead of 12, but I'm not one to complain. Still giving it 5 stars!

I usually order the lumpia, but this time it had a spoiled, unpleasant aftertaste. I had to throw it away, and I feel like I wasted my money.
