Reviews Angel's Kitchen

Breakfast with friends and decided to try the Bangus and Sardines in Olive Oil. The fish was fresh and flavorful! No fishy taste at all. It’s an excellent meal especially if you’re not planning to have an early lunch because it’s filling. The service and ambiance here is good. Nothing much to complain about.

This restaurant in Greenhills was very nice, clean and with server's that serve with smiling faces. We absolutely loved the food as most of their dishes as they served every dish with a twist. We particularly loved their Pinakbet rice and a pasta served with pork and mango bits! Yes, the pasta had mango bits and its not just any mango... It's GREEN MANGO and it's really good!

Food at Angels Kitchen is delicious. I had the crab salad and the short rib calderetta. Best calderetta I've had in my life! Will definitely come back to try other things on the menu. Would love it if there was a branch in BGC :)

Their wagyu beef tapa with caramelized onion is really, really good! My friend ordered garlicky chicken longanisa and it's also tasteful. For dessert, we had a slice of strawberry shortcake and it is one of the best that I had! Running out of words to describe each element in our table, even their caffe lungo was in full compliment with your set breakfast. Will go back to try the other breakfast dishes.

Complimentary starters: Melba Toast with Chicken Liver and Pistachio / Tuna Olives Pâté - You haven't even ordered yet, and you're already full! The tuna olives pâté has the strong flavor of olives, while the chicken liver pâté is more subtle. It didn't taste as liver-y as I expected, so it's still worth trying for those non-liver lovers. ;)

Soft Shell Crab with Mango Dressing (P388) - Oh my gosh, the soft shell crab was so good! The entire thing is edible, so there's no need to crack the shell to get to the meat! It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and goes so well with the mango dressing they paired it with. I just wish they had bigger servings of this because I was left wanting more!

Beef Taquitos with Crispy Wanton (P298) - It's a make-your-own taquitos platter! This is one starter that I bet even kids will enjoy. Diners can choose to top their crispy wantons with just their favorite ingredients (I know some people don't like tomatoes), but I still suggest putting them all! Angels' Kitchen gives us generous servings of ground meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes with every order. The crispy wanton remained crunchy the entire meal, so that's a plus as well!

Kielbasa Sausage with Onions (P318) - Sausages never looked so good! The Angels took something simple and turned it into an appetizing treat! The sausages were delicious, and more flavorful than I expected. It's one of those dishes that's perfect for when you need a little comforting. Have some beer too while you're at it, yeah?;) I'm definitely getting this again next time!

Crispy Boneless Bangus Fritters in Sambal Oelek (P438) - I'm not a huge fan of fish, but I really liked the way this was cooked. I'm glad it wasn't oily or malansa after frying, and that they served it with a different sauce, the sambal oelek, which is a sauce made from chili peppers. I usually encounter fish dishes with some kind of creamy mayo sauce, so this was a welcome change. It's a lighter, albeit spicier, alternative, but that's what I like about it.

Beef Salpicao (P398) - Another great comfort food. I don't think I've ever met a plate of beef salpicao I didn't like - so if you're looking to order something that's a sure win, get this. Things to remember: meat has to be tender and flavorful, and should be accompanied by lots of mushrooms and garlic - and guess what, Angels' Kitchen got all of that right. Personally, I think that a restaurant that fails to cook this, fails in general. It's often considered as an appetizer, but I totally recommend eating beef salpicao with rice.

Parmesan and Caesar Glaze Dory (P428) - The moment they placed this on the table, I knew I was going to like it. Gaah, it was heaven! For the longest time, baked dory with cheesy pesto has been my favorite way to eat dory, but now, I think it's this one. More than the parmesan cheese (if you've read my other posts, you'll know how much I enjoy anything with cheese in it), I loved how they added lemon to it - and not just to lessen the lansa, but to actually enhance the flavor. The creamy, lemon-y, and cheesy dory with crisp lettuce leaves, and bacon bits was a great combination overall.

Lamb Curry with Apple Raisin Chutney (P488) - I love curry, but not so much lamb, so to be honest, I had some apprehensions about this dish. There's just something about its flavor that I don't like. But this wasn't so bad. In fact, it wasn't bad at all. The meat was soft and sweet, and went well with the curry, though I would have liked the curry sauce with a thicker consistency. It was also milder than most I've tried before, but then again, I guess the sauce had to be mild since the lamb already had a strong flavor to it. The dish came with some apple chutney on the side, which I thought went great with the lamb as well.

Pinakbet Rice with Lechon Kawali and Chocolate Bagoong (P478) - Their award-winning signature dish! How often can you say you've eaten pinakbet rice? This dish is very Filipino, but in a way it's not, because Angels' Kitchen veered away from the usual way of serving it. Instead of laying it out with plain white rice, they've combined the two elements together to make an amazingly flavorful plate of pinakbet rice! The viand here is no longer the vegetables but the three huge chunks of fried lechon kawali you see above. Let's not forget the chocolate bagoong it came with. Yum!

Lengua Con Olivada (P528) - You know how when you were a kid, you used to eat everything, but now, not anymore? Well, ever since I found out what lengua was, I stopped eating it. For those who don't know, it's actually ox tongue. It's a really yummy dish, often served with mushroom cream sauce. It's been years since I had last eaten lengua, but I tried it again that night at Angels' Kitchen, and I'm back to loving it. I totally understand how ox tongue can turn someone off, but you know what, it's worth trying. Try a small bite. If you don't like it, then fine, don't eat any more. But if you find out that it's actually good, then at least you have a new dish to come back for (and you don't spend the rest of your life avoiding a dish you would've loved haha). Plus, it's hard to resist a dish that smells and looks this good.

Now, onto dessert! To be honest, I found it difficult to choose a favorite because they were all so wonderfully and deliciously made. Instead of picking just one favorite, here's my top three: the Cassava Con Mantecado, the Sunburst Lemon Cake, and the Chocolate Lava Cake. * Note: I was invited to write about this restaurant :)

A great find at Greenhills area. Thenplace is very homey and cute. It has this clean home vibe. Love the sofas and the lamps. The food was absolutely divine. We had the waldorf salad to start with the complimentary bread and pate (tuna i think).My dad had the tinapa pasta... forgot the name. I had the pinakbet rice... and wow the rice was to share up to 3 pax. My bro had the pochero. The lechon kawali was super crunchy... pochero was very tender... pasta was very unique. It was a wednesday and good thing there were only a few people coz i read somewhere that it's ideal to have reservations. Hope we could brave the traffic again so we can try other items in the menu.

A family favorite. My orders in every visit always revolve around their Tuscan Tomato soup or Seafood Chowder, their Baked Salmon with Wasabi sauce, or their Lamb (THE BEST.)

The ambiance is really homey, and their service is great. A place for your first date? Definitely.

We happened to drop by here with my friend to have some foodie adventure at San Juan. We decided to have an early dinner here at Angel's Kitchen. Inside the restaurant, you can feel a very homey aura. The fixtures and the tables and chairs are comfortable. Of course, we tried some of their dishes available here at Angel's Kitchen:

✔ While we are waiting for our food to be served, they served us Chicken Liver Pate with bread. The taste is lite yet very tasty.

✔ Parmesan and Caesar Glaze - This is one of their signature dish. The fish is soft and well mixed with the glazed lemon and bacon bits with the cheese. For some reasons, I didn't able to finish eating this dish. Maybe because I'm not that fan of eating fish. This dish is served with a cup of rice.

✔ Katsudon - The combination of the ingredients - The Breaded Pork Chop with the Japanese rice and the sauce is good. It is served in a very big bowl, which is almost good for 2 people.

For me, the prices are quite high. But the dishes are good for 1-2 people already. Also expect that they have a service charge. It is also good to buy pastries from them as they have a mini bakery beside the shop and they also served cakes in different flavors.

All in all, Angel's Kitchen is a must-try place especially if you are looking for a restaurant at San Juan area.

My salad pick : soft-shell crab with mango dressing. Entrée choices : either the beef or ostrich salpicao, the broiled Parmesan & Caesar glazed dory. For dessert : I have never been able to bring myself to order anything else but the Rustic Apple Pie with butterscotch sauce (that sauce is diviiiiine). Ala mode. And a cup of brewed coffee.

Before going to a foodie meet-up in Angel's Kitchen, I did some researching of the place and I got excited by what I have read. Really excited.

Upon entering, quaint is the word to describe the place and well-lighted. It is a great hang-out place where people can dine and have conversations.

Now, the food. Here's what I love the best:

1. I had a taste of their pate (chicken, I believe) and Melba toast. I loved it because it was really simple yet sets the tone for the rest of the food that will follow.
2. Beef Taquitos because of the creamy beef topping together with the rest of the trimmings on top the crispy wanton.
3. Parmesan and Caesar Glazed Dory because it was so creamy and good enough to eat on its own or with rice.
4. Tuyo Puttanesca because it was packed and flavorful and serving was big.
5. Mandarin Chicken was sweet and the chicken was still crispy. It made a simple fried chicken into a grand dish because of the sauce.
6. AK Special Blend Iced Tea was frozen and sweet and every sip was delightful.
7. Rustic Apple Pie was a big slice with a lot of apples! Good for sharing.

The Original Pinakbet Rice with Lechon Kawali was ok for me. It was good but I get to taste this in other places too. Though I liked the concept of the Pinakbet rice, it was a first for me. And the lechon kawali was sinfully tender and crispy and getting a few slices was big of a temptation. Too bad I was not able to try the Chocolate Bagoong that goes with it because I thought there was none. It was served but it was not in the plate so I thought the bagoong was already incorporated in the rice. Sayang.

The Chocolate Lava cake was good too. Perfect ending to a perfect dinner.

The serving sizes are all good for sharing so you get value for your money. Prices ranges from Php250-400 per dish but it is indeed reasonable because you get quality food and service.

The wait staff are very attentive and courteous and that is a big plus. Great food and great service is equal to very happy diners.

Overall, loved everything. I will definitely come back here with my family or loved ones. I'm so happy that my first experience with Zomato was a big hit. Thanks, Zomato for the invite.

Come "home" to comfort food where grandma's dishes are done right, and often, with a twist to originals like Beef Caldereta and Lengua.

Their breakfast omelets do not disappoint either. Watching your weight? Have their soft shell crab salad.

The staff are friendly and very helpful. And like many fusion restaurants, they sell happiness in bottles like our favorite Chiken and Pistachio pâté, aligue in a bottle and much more.

Kain!

Angel's Kitchen never disappoints. From the homey interior, to the friendly service and the consistently good food. No wonder people come here again and again. Another 2 thumbs up!

Angel's Kitchen is famous for two things: (1) its homey ambiance and service (it's just as if you're going to a friend's house in Greenhills), and (2) its signature, most-raved about dish: Pinakbet Rice and Lechon Kawali with Chocolate Bagoong.

The restaurant's success can be traced to the wonderful mix of its comfort food using homemade recipes, cozy atmosphere, cheerful service and offerings of a sweet finish with a slice of cake.

Most people would go for the Rice Duo meals, which have a unique twist and combination at an affordable price. I appreciate the fact that the serving size is good for two. Aside from the Pinakbet rice, the Homey, Tinapa Rice with Tocino Barbeque or the Sweet and Hot, Honey Garlic Spareribs with XO Fried Rice sounds interestingly yummy that you would vow to go back to try it.

Melba Chips and Chicken pate with Pistachios -The meal starts with a serving of soft, fresh bread with chicken pate. No matter how many times we asked for a refill, the servers were happy to fulfill our request.

Soft-shell Crab with Mango Poppy Seed Dressing - The soft-shell crabs were soft enough for my son to eat them. (I stay away from them because I cannot imagine eating the whole crab, including its shell.) The vegetables were fresh and crunchy, with the salad dressing yummy enough for us to finish the entire dish. The kids love bread, and this usually calms them down when they become restless in their seats.

Lamb Curry with Apple Raisin Chutney - A Signature Dish -We ordered the best-sellers, and the servings are indeed good for two. The curry sauce was not too strong; it had a subdued taste even with a mix of herbs, spices and coconut milk. You need the apple raisin chutney to spice up this meal -- a perfect combination. Without it, the lamb curry would taste ordinary.

Original Pinakbet Rice with Lechon Kawali and Chocolate Bagoong - A Signature Dish - This famous dish definitely met our expectations. Although the combination's not unique (except for the chocolate on top of the bagoong), the magnified and well-designed presentation was enough to whet our appetite. The chocolate was overpowered by the saltiness of the bagoong and appeared to be just a design.
