Dads - Saisaki is the father of all buffet in the Philippines. I remember my first experience there and imagine the monopoly when they were the first one to be the most expensive buffet for the young professionals. It still stands the same just that they don't have that long line but till this very day - I guess they are still the place to be when it comes birthday or family gathering. It's been a while since I last visited the place.

Impressive and wide array of food. A bit pricy compared to other buffet restaurants. Good thing we were a group that time. Sad to say nabusog agad ako kaya konti lang nakain ko kasi nagrice agad ako. But all in all service is good.

Dads merienda buffet is legit sulit. First time ko dito kasi birthday ng kapatid ko sabi ko ang mahal naman kasi pakakain alis agad but no..sabi ng kapatid ko pweding tumambay habang kumakain 😂😂😂 that's almost 2-3 hours stay kaya naman kitang kita sa picture, ang dami naming kinuha and take note, lahat yan ubos. Personal fave ko dito ang dinuguan. Sarap. Sarap din ng siomai at spaghetti. Carbonara at palabok naman sa kapatid ko at sweet dessert naman ang sa isa ko pang kapatid. Sabi partner ko, masarap daw yung ginataang bilo bilo. All in all, balik kami dito pag may time.

Best buffet in Makati area for the price, shrimps tasted really good and I am.thoroughly impressed with the taste of the kimchi, this is my preferred buffet because it is money's worth, among all the buffet I tried their cakes stand out, the ice cream is the only thing that could be improved but the rest including the selection of pasta is divine

I once celebrated my birthday here and took advantage of their birthday promo where the birthday celebrant gets to eat for FREE with one full paying adult (who is Gerald haha).

We did not have reservation so we had to wait for our turn to be seated, which didn’t really take long. We only waited for about 10 minutes.

They have a wide variety of dishes to offer. And they have a lot of seafood choices which I really love!

Went here several times to celebrate birthdays during the times I was working in Makati. Great buffet, excellent variety of food served. I have a fond memory of my coworker Marian getting three, four, five servings of their puto bumbong. This guy I used to date wanted to eat here with me as well coz he's always wanted to go on a date at a buffet? LOL. Normally, I dislike buffets coz I don't like the idea of walking around and having to get my own food, but he offered to get my food for me so I could just sit around and be served like in a proper restaurant.

This was my first buffet I've ever dined when I was a kid! We celebrated occasions here (birthday, family reunion, etc). This place is nostalgia but I did not know how to eat out a buffet before. I got a whole bunch of carbonara that's why I felt full immediately. 

As time passed by, i realized that I prefer "grill buffet restaurants" because I want to cook my own food the way I want. 

Value of money - 4/5
Food - 3/5
Ambiance - 3/5
Staffs - 3/5

Overall, I gave 4 because I had one of the best memories here.

Staff are accommodating. We were seated immediately although that was a lunch time. Had a nice window view facing Dusit Thani. Of course, their food is great! I tried almost everything though I wasn't so much of a fan of their pork barbecue. Meat was kinda tough and somewhat at a room temperature. But overall, the experience was great!

This is my dad's (lol) favorite place to go to for any kind of celebration/chilling. I usually head straight to their saisaki section and desserts, but the kamayan part of the place also packs a punch. Looking forward to finally be able to taste their take on kare-kare soon.

One's got to hand it to the Villavicencios for the Dads World Buffet, merging three of their most successful concepts together. This branch is still probably the nicest, compared to the West Avenue and Megamall branches that I know and go to. 

This welcomes you with their Filipino food and carvery station before leading you into the International/Asian sections, and all the Japanese food at the very end. Saisaki has really become extra well organized, making space for custom sukiyaki and noodles, grills, and various Katsu.

I've taken pics of the Filipino food because it so happened we had a few moments to take pics before the crowd arrived. I enjoy their marinaded tuna, their yakitori, the japchae noodles, and a smattering of carvery food with gravy.

Dessert is always just okay, but they do have a crepe station, puto bumbong, and ginataan.

I love going to this place when we like to have a feast and enjoy their japanese cuisine, unlimited salmon sushi and tuna sashimi and of course the tempura fried which is always the first one to run out so you need to be up and running and alert when the new batch of freshly cooked tempura is placed on the basket and desset their avocado and chocolate ice cream is also yummy.. go for the lechon and try not to eat so much rice so u can get your money’s worth. Hehehehe enjoy guys

Dad’s is one of my fave buffet restos, it’s not perfect but spread was good enough, and just like other restos, it took a while to refill the foods. Place was a bit crowded and tables were too close to other tables, hence it was kind of hard to move around. If you’ve been eating in Dad’s for a number of times, you’d know that they have the same kind of food except that the don’t have dinuguan here. :)

When it comes to roasted Angus beef Dad’s is my place to go! Juicy and tender. Authentic and delicious! Can’t remember the particular dish but it was here also that I started appreciating green olives. Dad’s is simply a gastronomic satisfaction.

It was our first time to try Dads World Buffet’s dinner spread beyond its merienda buffet. The latter is always a welcome afternoon treat whenever we are in Greenbelt to meet up with friends or when we are having late lunch. The merienda buffet offers many of our favorite dishes that are absolutely satisfying like arroz caldo, tokwa’t baboy, palabok, and okoy, just to name a few. If you want a taste of familiar Filipino merienda favorites, then this is definitely for you.

This place made my Filipino taste buds happy! They offer Asian cuisine (more on Japanese and Filipino dishes) and a little bit of Western cuisine, but what really stood out is their Filipino section. Ginataang Kuhol, Lechong Kawali, Kare Kare, Chicken Inasal, Bagnet, and Krispy Kangkong are just some of the yummy dishes I remembered; it really is a feast there! They also have an aquarium for live shrimps so if you’re a shrimp lover like me, you’re all good!

We had dinner for my aunt’s Birthday last Saturday. I have nothing to say except the original is still the best. I think they pioneered the buffet here in the Philippines. Food was great especially Filipino and Japanese cuisines. I’m a big fan of crispy pata though. I really enjoyed it. Staff was everywhere to assist you. You get your money’s worth! Congratulations and hopefully you guys continue to serve good food and be a model to other buffets out there.

We've had our lunch here twice already. They had a wide range of food to choose. From Filipino, american, italian, japanese, a bit of chinese, korean ang thai cuisine. I love their crispy pata, really CRISPY. Their cakes are attractive but the taste i think, somehow, they almost taste the same eventhough they differ in looks or maybe it's just me. Anyway, the chefs and staff are attentive and others were nice.🙂🙂

I really love Dad’s buffet! Too many choices, tasty and affordable. My favorite is of course, the Japanese station. Shrimp tempura is good, maki and even the kani salad is so tasty. Next on my list is of course, the Filipino station. I love their take on kare-kare, lechon, laing and kakanin. Their pata tim (Chinese station) is sooo good as well...it literally falls off the bone! Yummers??? I’m not a fan of their desserts. Nothing special, cakes are so forgettable✌

We celebrated this year’s mother’s day here at Dads-Saisaki-Kamayan. For a 950php buffet dinner, it was worth it. We did not book ahead of time but we came early at around 5pm. During that time, restaurant was still closed but the staffs were calling out names who had a reservation. We immediately enlisted, and if my memory serves me right, we were at no. 45 and we waited for about 15mins for our name to be called out. (But it’s fine, because it was Mother’s day so it’s expected to have more customers than usual days).

Food quality: 4/5
-It was a crossover buffet, so there’s plenty of food to choose from (Filipino, Italian, American, Japanese). But my favorite part is the Japanese station, especially the tempura.

Ambiance: 3.5/5
-The place is soo big, though when it’s peak time, I think people might tend to bump elbows.
But I love the live band roaming around and singing requested songs. It makes the place livelier.

Staffs: 4.5/5
-Staffs were very polite and welcoming. Especially the chefs(?) or cooks(?) assisting each food station. Kahit ilang beses kaming pabalik balika with the creme brulee and crepe, they always smile.
-There were a large number of staffs, but everyone seems busy and doing their work. But they still entertain customers who wants to take photos.

Overall, we really enjoyed our experience there.

For the best merienda buffet in town, go to Dad’s Meryenda Buffet. Located in the not-so-busy second level of Glorietta 3, it provides a homey ambiance that is perfect for a casual gathering with friends or family. The restaurant itself is very spacious so you do not have to worry about bumping on other people while holding a plateful of goodies.

For 950php-dinner buffet, this place is really worth it for those who have big appetite. The place is really big. There’s the Dad’s section for the Filipino and savory Western cuisines and Saisaki for the Asian and dessert section. So far not disappointed with their food. The place can get really packed and there’s a lot of music. I have never been a fan of buffet since I am not a big eater but I can recommend this place. Staff is helpful.

Finally get a chance to try out Dad's. There are 2 options to choose from 1. Kamayan (without Japanese buffet) and 2. Saisaki (included everything). We choose Saisaki lunch buffet option on Sunday. With Saisaki option you get to browse through all buffet menu they serve (Filipino, Thai, Chinese, Westerner, and Japanese. My wife loves it, there several favourite Thai dishes in the menu as well. Excellent value for the money. Enjoy the places, and enjoy the food. Marvellous!!!

Just attended my friend son one year old bithday party. They served a really wide variety of food ranging from asia, europe. Asia food they serve korean food (kimchi bbq), chinese food (noodle, dim sum) and many many more. I cant remember all the food i tried. I believe its impossible for a person to try all food (even just a very little amount). They also have italian sphagetti (freshly cooked for you with three type of based: pesto, tomato and creamy)

A no-fail buffet choice when you plan to eat out with family. It was a busy Sunday lunch when my boo and his relatives from NY and Thailand invited us here.
For appetizers, I found myself gravitating more towards the sushi at Saisaki. Even my girls loved the fried crabsticks, shrimp and mushrooms on sticks, and karaage. The boo enjoyed huge slabs of roast beef and lamb in the Dad's area, while I love the crunchy sizzling sisig from Kamayan. I think they do need to amp up their dessert game. A few cakes were quite dry and lacked the sweet ending you like for your meal. Good thing there was Big Scoop ice cream which was a hit with the girls. Got no pics this time, as I enjoyed my time gorging myself on the sushi.

Note: I miss those times when they use to have stuff toys or small flower toys as giveaways when you dine here. I hope they bring those back.

They have a smaller space compared to the other buffet restos I've been to, but the food choices are all quite diverse and I liked most of the things I got. The only huge drawback is that one of their desserts had something extremely bitter that I spit it out. Their drinks choices are what redeemed them for me. Still really like the place overall, but the next time I come, hopefully the desserts are much better.

Place: A must-visit buffet restaurant for Makati folks. Situated inside Glorietta Complex, it is super accessible. You may just need to call for reservation because it's always jam-packed almost everyday.
Food: The usual buffet-style restaurant, but we visited during their merienda hours. Different merienda/snacks to choose from, plus nice cold beverages.
Price: Price is quite close to other buffet restaurants (Vikings).

Its a buffet, so I guess it's naturally hard not to like! But not all buffets are created equal! While Dad's is not my #1, it's definitely a good choice and I would recommend it!
They have a wide array of food that you can't possibly gorge on even to a great abandon! It is equal to those great big buffet restaurants that people rave about if only for the choices. They do have a carving station, they have sushi and sashimi, soups and a whole lotta desserts!
If one hasn't got a budget or time, for a bog dinner or lunch - their merienda buffet during mid-afternoon is also a great option. Now this one is something that doesn't require you to rob a bank. It's a good team eating session place especially when you work the early morning shift and have the rest of the day to just wander.

This is the perennial go-to place of my 81 year old father in law whenever he feels like treating the whole family.

He finds the whole spread generous plus the choices vast especially if its a crossover. He likes that the drinks come with the price. He is absolutely happy too with his 50% discount during regular days and 100% on his birthday

His favorite in Saisaki are their salmon sashimi and tempura. At Dad's he loves the meat carvings. In kamayan, he likes the lechon.

The first time tried this buffet. My colleague always recommend this, but after I've read the review in zomato made me feel afraid. At the end, I finally decided to go here with my friend. I thought, for new food experience in Makati. And I've already prepared for the worst like some reviews said.

They have a lot of food.

I love this place!

While I've only dined here once-and for free-I can honestly say that I enjoyed their food better than the direct competition. I loved how Dad's made sure they were not sacrificing taste for the quantity as many buffet places do nowadays.

I loved the classic DIY pasta station, the paella, the very quaint Asian cuisines and the overflowing drinks served on your table.

Sure, ambience can still be improved and the branch may tend to be a little crowded but overall, I had a great dining experience here.

This is the Dads where I grew up. Lots of choices, cozy and comfortable place, and appetizing ambiance. For me Dads is still the best on all buffet providers. The price is right for its selection. My favorite dish is their beef kaldereta. Its quality is beyond buffet quality. The beef is tender. The sauce will make you want rice even if eating rice in  a buffet is not right. I also like their lechon de leche. This is the place to visit!

An okay place for pigging out, there are alot of choices especially if you're out with someone that has a different taste, you can choose from asian, international and filipino cuisines ranging from sashimi to tacos to lechon, I suggest sitting somewhere inbetween or tell them where you want to be sitted if you favor a cuisine, I'd recommend going early because even for a weekday it will be packed, especially their saisaki(asian) side of the place and some of the good stuffs(idk what they are, i just mindlessly grab) wont get replenished and be replaced by other food, no problems with their service, everyone was eager to assist for our needs.

Dad’s World Buffet in Glorietta has been a mall with never ending food establishments among many other things. With its at least 5 malls, and 2 other mall complexes connected to it, Glorietta just has a lot of foot traffic. Dad’s has been an institution for buffets in Manila since forever. I don’t even remember the time when Dad’s was out of the conversation when buffet is the topic. But is it still good? Which dishes are the must try? Is it worth it?

I only recently started to appreciate this chain of buffet restaurant quite recently due to one of my friends' constant praise of it. So for a joint birthday celebration with one of my other friends, five of us headed over to their Glorietta branch to avail of their birthday promo.

*Birthday promo can be used for up to 3 days before and 3 days after actual birth date. Birthday celebrant eats for FREE as long as accompanied by at least one (1) FULL PAYING adult, meaning it would be P838 for two people. I found it to be the BEST deal when compared to other buffet chains that require 3-4 full paying adults per birthday celebrant.

Design-wise, the establishment is divided into three significant sections according to the restaurants' name -there is Dad's, which is more of international dishes, they have Saisaki for all your Japanese cravings and Kamayan for the classic Filipino food.

Service-wise, it is all self-service when it comes to grabbing the food you want. There are several stations with employees who assist with cooking or assembling certain dishes. From time to time there will be servers passing around the dining areas mostly to take drink orders.

Food-wise, I always find myself in the Saisaki side of the buffet, especially the sushi and sashimi section. Their salmon sashimi I find acceptable and fresh enough, the tuna tends to taste too cold probably from being frozen. The spicy tuna as well as their Japanese salad is quite tasty. In general, they have an interesting and wide array of sushi options to choose from. I also enjoy the yakiniku or grilling station with the crabstick-bacon skewers being my favorite. They also have a delicious sukiyaki station which has a lovely stew of tender and sweet beef, noodles and vegetables.

Over-all, I am giving the sum of my experiences a 3.5. For birthday celebrants it is definitely a steal of a deal to take advantage of. For regular lunch weekday customers, the price is a little bit steep but as long as you grab at least three plates and a ton of sashimi and meat - it should be worth it.

Dad's would always be an institutional buffet restaurant for me, but somehow the quality of some of the entrees are not there anymore. Although I loved what Saisaki had to offer with their tempura and sushi and sashimi entrees,although some are just an ok so so entrees from other regions.  I think it's better to try some of the more expensive items like the paella and their choice meats to get your fill of the selections. I found some of their pork entrees a bit salty but it's just me and my palette. They still maintain some of their quality items, but I think there should be room for improvement especially with other players like Buffet 101 and Vikings really competing.

I think this one is the original buffet restaurant here in the Philippines, previously called Triple V company with wide various types of cuisine from Philippines, Japan, China, America, and in some Europe dishes are merge in one. Dessert with variety of choices and with reasonable price.

Growing up and only known eat all you can food is DADS, whatever family celebration that we have we always make sure DADS to dine (way back 20 years ago i think so haha) and 2016 this is my 1st time on my mature role to dine again but in merienda mode well with my family since we need to celebrate with my cousin graduation chenelin.. I thought the food is your typical kalye side or neighborhood food but NO there are lots to choose from and the P258 that you pay (per head) is amazingly sulit, correct me if im wrong there are 20-30food to choose from there merienda menu yes it was happy tummy for me.. I will promised to myself to dine again in any DADS in the metro! Why Is scored 4.5 i dont like the oh so old (literally old) interiors and vintage style good idead if they renovate in more fun and interesting way (if they have plans) but above all it was great experience.. Ciao!

The Dad's Ultimate Buffet in Glorietta is our default birthday blowout place. Dad's is always packed during weekends, with birthday songs being sung left and right. Their packages or promos for celebrations and dining of big groups are such a hit. Whenever we dine here, I always go for gold and head over to the succulent lechon and crispy pata of Kamayan and will then on load up on freshly prepared  salmon sashimi, temaki and sushi at the Saisaki section. In between those, I devour spoonfuls of roast beef, sinigang, yakitori, kuhol, pasta, etc, well pretty much a litlle bit of everything! You can never say that you won't know what to eat because everything was just there. That's what I love with Dad's, its proximity to our office and diverse food selections deserves the title, ultimate buffet.

During the 90s Dads is synonym to Buffet. Theyintroduced the concept of All you can it with disclipline meaning eating just right na hindi "takaw tingin". The no leftover policy. I remember at that time you can opted to just eating Salad or their Salad bar but they have wide selections of salad like raw squid salad. And then it dies down for a while and now they redeem themselves again. Which is good, seeing old waiters who served you during those days. The food quality was not good compare to before but you know what they say kung gusto mo maka "sulit" sa buffet " Pick the expensive ones in a normal resto" And don't eat rice like the salmons and steaks.

Your usual eat-all-you-can buffet place but with more choices. This is usually my top of the mind eat-all-you-can food place. It's also not that expensive.

Good choice for family buffet. Limited European choice of food. Filipino cuisines are very common but tasty. Love the performance of the staff if there's someone celebrating birthday.

I said to myself that i will be on a diet mode but when I went to glorietta awhile ago i passed by Dad's and i was just on time for there mereyenda buffet so i cant help myself but to eat here. What i love about dads meryenda buffet is that it's so cheap it only cost php238.00 for weekdays with no servie charge and they accept walk in . I so love the fried siomai its so good, For the dessert i was hoping to eat Cream Puff and Choco Eclair but unfortunately its not available but good thing that there is Ice Cream ang Halo Halo.it's nice to end my day with a full meal . Happiness;);)

Food is delicious and varied. Place is super spacious and super lively. I ate at Dads Saisaki Kamayan for the first time in this branch. The staff is generally friendly and approachable.
