Aaa Diamond Tongs

The place was nice and spacious. What I don’t like is that the crab should have various flavor. But overall, it was worth it.

I was initially disappointed because my husband chose to dine here over the ever-so-luxurious Vikings buffet for his birthday. I was even more disappointed when I found out there were no crabs served but all of that changed when we started eating.

I love the food! I would say everything was worth the price which is P360/adult & P180 for kids between 4-7 y/o (but for some reason they only charged the adults when we came here, so thank you!)

The staff was very nice & accommodating. Service was fast too because they would automatically refill the food so you don't have to wait too long. Each refill was served hot also.

I have a lot more photos of the food but Zomato would only let me upload 10 for this review. Hmp. I'll upload the rest of the photos separately. The following food were served for dinner:

- fried rice & plain rice
- corn & egg soup
- spicy tahong (mussels)
- fresh oysters (or maybe steamed?)
- baked oysters with cheese & butter
- baked garlic cheese scallops
- shrimps
- tinolang aninikad
- pancit bam-i
- fried chicken
- grilled tuna
- crispy pork skin (like chicharon)
- humba
- fresh fruits: watermelon, pineapple
- dessert: ube halaya, biko
- steamed okra
- kinilaw na goso
- hipon
- ginamos
- drinks: water, mango juice, iced tea
- sauces: suka with sili, toyo with sili
- for sale drinks: liquor (red horse, san mig, etc), canned softdrinks, UCC coffee

I don't have any dislikes but the fried pork skin was a little too hard yet still delicious. I also wished the fresh oysters were fresher but I couldn't blame them, still good though. Especially the one with cheese.

The place is al fresco but they have function rooms with airconditioning. The restroom is okay, not that clean but they have working flushes and tissues which is good in case.. you know.

Unli seafoods! Yayy!! The ambiance of the restaurant may not be really that nice but it doesn't really matter because the food they offer can entice you. Delicious and affordable!!

Who says No to unli seafoods? I enjoyed this place because they served unli seafoods. From shrimps to scallops to talaba. Price is just right. Nasulit ko binayad ko. Cheesy scallops is yum3. A biy sad though for their talaba. I guess since it is pre opened, it's not that juicy anymore.

Not for fancy eaters. The place isn't even instagrammable, just a plain old no-frills resto that has been around for awhile. Nothing special. But why do I come here at least once a month? Because they have affordable, unlimited SEAFOOD (with crabs for dinner). That's why.

I am a sucker for baked scallops and oysters with lots of cheese on top. In a typical resto, 10 pcs would cost around P100-150. I could eat 3 FULL plates of those (let's say each plate would have 20 pcs) and I'm not exagerrating- so imagine how much savings I could get in an eat-all-u-can rate of 315? And don't even get me started on the crabs. Oh no, not those small crabs where you can hardly eat any meat. I'm talking about the big ones. Flavor-wise, it's not that tasty and needs more zest but, well, crabs are crabs right? Are there any other restos having unli crabs with the same price asTongs? As far as I know, there's NONE. Oh, they also have fish fillet, seaweeds and other shells. The other viands, I do not care about. For dessert I only eat watermelon and pineapple but they also have little square cakes. Free iced tea and WIFI too.

Here are the reasons for my deductions:
-0.5 = Like I said, the place isn't fancy. Not something you'd post about. Although, I do take pictures of the food so I could drool on them. Haha!

-0.5 = Slow refills. Luckily, I am not the shy type. I really approach them and ask when they'd refill esp. when there are a lot of people waiting. I hate waiting.

-0.5 = So-so tasting crabs. Could be improved.

Would I come back here?
Are you kidding me? Of course I will!

Hope my review helps! 😊

All you can eat seafood. Value for money buffet restaurant where one can indulge in the typical Filipino comfort food. But the Mai attraction of these carinderia-style restaurant is their all you can eat Chili Crabs (alimasag). Don't forget your maintenance medicine.
