Aristocrat Restaurant is always a dependable choice for classic Filipino comfort food. The chicken barbecue with Java rice remains unmatched, especially with their signature peanut sauce. The ambiance feels nostalgic and family-friendly. Service can get busy during peak hours, but the staff stays attentive and polite. Overall, a great place for gatherings and satisfying Filipino meals. Best comfort food. The price is reasonable and the service is fair. There is parking available but with pay. Aircon also functioning well. Order dessert also. Been craving for Aristocrat’s breakfast plates since months ago! Been overseas, and finally now I was able to drop by straight from the airport! Their breakfast plates comes with a brewed coffee or hot chocolate. It was filling and look at those perfectly fried eggs! 😍 However, a bit disappointed because as compared to what i had with them before, the taste has slightly changed now. I like the previous recipe of the longaniza and their beef tapa now is also different from the classic marinated beef tapa in small chunks. They are currently renovating the restaurant. Clean, spacious, and friendly staffs. The restroom is also well-maintained and air conditioned. They also accommodate parties and other celebrations.

Still one of the best Filipino restaurants. Boneless BBQ chicken with peanut sauce and fresh lumpia a must try. This branch is still renovating but a good number of dining areas were already finished. Parking is aplenty but can get full easily especially during dinner. Excellent food choices and prompt service
