Oyster Boy won my heart on our first visit here in their Cubao branch. I LOVE their food. My team and I had a dozen of Oysters in Cheese and Garlic, Labuyo Chicken in Garlic Rice, Crispy Sisig, Pecho Inasal, and a couple of beers. Oysters in Cheese and Garlic were to die for! Although some of the oysters are still small in size, the taste made up for it. Oysters alone were both briney and creamy in taste and this tells me that they were fresh and clean when they were cooked. The cheese and garlic added a savory taste. I tried ordering another dozen but was informed that they they are all out for the day on oysters which really shows you that OysterBoy oysters are a hit. The Labuyo Chicken with Garlic Rice was a shocker for me and my team as we were expecting a chicken that was so hot that we would no longer have a functioning palate. However, we were faced upon a juicy grilled chicken that has a sweet chili taste. Who knew that siling labuyo can taste so good when cooked. Yes it is spicy but there is a hint of sweetness that also comes from the chili that makes it taste so delicious. The crispy sisig was again another good dish for us. I am very particular with the sisig that I eat as I am not a fan of eating animal fats and do not like having the oily feel in my mouth. The sisig we had was incorporated with egg and I was able the eat a lot as the sisig are mostly meat rather than fat. It doesn't have the gamey flavor that I don't like in most innards dishes. The Pecho Inasal was our least favorite among our orders as it was obviously overcooked when it was served to us. The Inasal was accompanied by a seasoned soy sauce that made the taste better even if it is overcooked. The flavor was there for the Inasal, it is just that it was overcooked.

There is also a wide array of beverages available in this restaurant. Given that this can be considered as a chill out place , there are a number of foreign and local beverages. I must say that some or their food are not "instagramable" on their presentation but on any given day, I would always prefer a food that taste exeptional rather than a bland food that is presented well.

Overall, the place matched my expectation or even surpassed it. I would have given this review a perfect score if only the Pecho Inasal was not overcooked and they didn't ran out of Cheese Garlic Oysters. Staff were also really friendly and accomodating and price of both food and beverages are reasonable.
