4.9 / 5.0(1,904 reviews)
Had a great dining experience at Tong Yang SM Puerto Princesa! The food selection was amazing, from hotpot to grilled items. What really stood out to me was the customer service. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Ms. Kath for being so accommodating! Perfect place for family gatherings or celebrations. Will definitely come back Nicely decorated value for money buffet grill and hot pot. I pay 578 peso for a weekday buffet. They will serve 2 plate of better quality beef to your desk and have a few selection of soup. Condiments, sauce, cooked dishes, Japan sushi and dessert were all reasonably good. While for the meat, largely is pork and fish, not the meaty part but the head, belly and innards. Good selection of cold drink and have good coffee after. It is really worthwhile. Highly recommended! Had a great dining experience at Tongyang SM Puerto Princesa! The food was fresh, the selection was good, and the place was clean and cozy. Special mention to Vince who assisted us, he was very attentive, polite, and really did his job well. Definitely made our meal more enjoyable. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
