Dads-saisaki-kamayan

The OG when it comes to the premiere eall all you can buffets in the Metro. Dad's ultimate buffet still is one of the best buffets even in today's super competitive buffet battleground. Their Japanese section has lost a bit of charm as they no longer have some of the secret menu like the cucumber wrapped maki with jap mayo and some uni. Saisaki steak was also missing. However, carving station was still lit as they had lamb, roast beef, turkey, ham and the filipino lechon. Of course, their tempura is good as well as the different katsu but one thing I noticed was their indian and spanish section. They have the chicken biryani and lamb curry which were really nice. There is definitley room for improvement in terms of dishes. I skipped over the chinese, korean and italian. I got some dinakdakan and bicol express from the Kamayan section (Filipino). All in all, I still had a great time at Dad's.

Amazing food selection here. Different international dishes and I like their give away mini stuff toys. Food are well prepared and very tasty.

Situated along the busy road of EDSA southbound, it's actually hard to miss the place. It'll be my second time dining in with Dad's, the first was at their Megamall branch.

Per se, parking is available at the back via Connecticut road (street parking with a minimal fee). But if you're confident enough, there are also free parking spaces available up front but of course, it'll be a hassle if there are no slots given that this is situated along EDSA.

Ambiance is much more comfy and homey. The place is also bright and well ventilated; attendants in the reception / waiting area is also cheerful and helpful with the reservation seats.

Attendants are well mannered and prompt. Water refills are spot on, no need to call their attention as they move fast as well as removing finished plates in the table. They also do their rounds offering juice and shakes so, you don't have to go to the dispenser everytime you run out of refreshments.

As for the food, taste and price; it was average to good. Some were really tasty like their crispy pata, lechon kawali, sushi, mini ube cake, mini raspberry bites, cream puff while others weren't that memorable.

Special mention to the pastry section, (most) of the (mini) cake and cupcakes offered were really good. I'd give it a 8.5/10 for that - consistency is key, I tried 2 different batch of mini cupcakes; others were too wet (batter) while others didn't.

The sushi section was also surprisingly good. I'm quite picky with my sushi since I have really high standards ( i super love sushi) so, I'd rate it a 8/10. The raw fish (sashimi) didn't look fresh and appealing to me tho but I guess, you can prolly try it too.

Overall, the food was good. Service was spot on! Hope y'all keep that up. For the price, we had it on discount but I guess they do offer lots of meat carvings which makes it a reasonable enough that you won't have to complain.

Everytime may occassion or gathering ang family, we always eat at Dad's. Super comfortable nung place. Plus pa yung naglilibot every table and kumakanta. Very entertaining. As for the food, i really like the taste. Super sulit

For a Sunday, we came in at a good time as the place had less people. It's been a while since I visited this area as we always head to the 2nd floor for Sambokojin, which is always full.

It was a very peaceful tour around the smorgasbord. There were a few people, considering it was only around 8pm. I then embarked on a gastronomic journey, holding firmly on my plate as my passport, hopping from one table to the next, traveling from one cuisine to another. I again, appreciated this World Buffet.

I had small portions of Paella, and had Callos. I like the taste of Callos. The tripe was very tender, it was firm but not tough. It was easy enough to eat, cooked just right. The sauce was on the sweet side, although an eyesore was a huge amount of oil has visibly separated itself from the sauce mix. There was a thick transparent pool on one side of the chaffing dish. The consistency of the stew didn't look too appealing, it tasted good though.

I then got some Yang chow and Hot Salad as my trip headed to Asia from Spain. I just thought the Hot Salad was too sweet. I couldn't taste the breaded chicken anymore, the condensed milk was overpowering.

I had some Thai Bagoong rice (Khao Kluk Kapi) with Green Curry and Beef Rendang. I love Thai food, it tasted good. But of course, I have to reserve a space in my stomach for the dish which for me is the holy grail of Filipino buffet... Kare Kare. There I was all confused whether I should have tripe or seafood. I went for seafood eventually, as I had Callos anyway (for tripe). The Kare Kare sauce tasted good, as the peanut taste was evident in its sauce. However, the seafood seemed to overflow with mussels, and the prawns were already missing. Looks like someone went ahead and hoarded them.

I also had some Salmon Sashimi, which turned out to be my palate cleanser as everything was so flavorful. I am grateful that the sashimi was fresh and the fish creamy. The taste did not compete with the other dishes I had earlier as it was very mild. This was to prepare myself for the sweet ending I've been imagining all evening.

For the grand finale, I headed for the dessert area, I had a few chocolate based desserts, then ice cream. I scooped all 4 flavors in one bowl, Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Coffee. I placed some nuts, marshmallows, candy sprinkles, chocolate chips, and gummy bears. I drizzled melted chocolate which I collected with a spoon from the chocolate fountain which instantly solidified. I was a child again, deep in my ice cream reverie. If I may suggest though, I think they have to replace the water container for the scooper after every 30 minutes at least. It doesn't look attractive.

Overall, Dads World Buffet has maintained their reputation for a good eat-all-you-can experience.

I had a great time. I had to procrastinate on my diet again though, oh well. 😊
