If you're looking for a place which serves authentic Filipino food, this should be on your list. Went here with my constant friends and a friend who's been away from home for a long time because of work. While thinking where can we bring him to eat where he could make up for the time he was away from the Philippines, this came up immediately. We had their set meal perfect for big group like us. We had their famous Pancit Lucban, Bbq, fried chicken, and sisig. Their serving is big enough for the 9 of us.
The price is reasonable as well. But they don't have a table that can accommodate a big group like us. We had to squeeze ourselves in one table so that we can eat and have some chit chat as one group.

Really love the ambience here. So colorful and instagrammable! The food is nice esp pancit lucban. We ordered sisig too but there's nothing special about it. Their fried chicken is good!

We always go back for their pork sisig and pancit lucban. Lumpiang ubod and budin are also good.

Bit hot in the inside and ventilation is not good.

Their locality and uniqueness of food is a must try. A lot of people visit their restaurant because of their Longganisang Lucban and Pansit Lucban or they call it HabHab

Buddy’s Restaurant is one of the most “sulit” food places in the area. Aside from the delicious-tasting Filipino food, the prices are also budget-friendly (since most of the items in the menu can be shared by 1-2pax). However, the place gets too crowded and busy on most days which slows down their service (there were times when we had to follow-up our request multiple times because the staff forgot about it). But overall, it’s highly recommended. :)

The thought of having vinegar in pancit was absurd until I tried Buddy’s pancit habhab! It made sense after all, I love the place, it’s so festive💛 my friends I and we’re so full! We’re in food coma after eating! Hahaha when ever i crave for pancit habhab, i’ll think of Buddy’s🤤

We ordered Pancit, Sisig and Longganisa, oh my goodness, it tastes sooooo good! I enjoyed my very first eating experience here in this restaurant.

Although we needed to wait for quite some time to actually get a table, because this place is always probably crowded.

It's a good value for money too. You can bring your family and friends here to experience authentic Filipino style cousine and ambiance.
I'm positive I'll be one of the regular customers.

Recommended for someone with a limited budget. One order can serve 2 people and it also comes with rice.

We ordered Sizzling korean beef stew and Sizzling gambas. We were quite shocked on how big their serving was compared to their price. Value for money.

Their Pancit Lucban is really the star of this restaurant.

Also tried their pork sisig and crab cakes. I forgot the name of that dish. But it looks like crab patty. It was heaven. It is really good. Real crab meat!

Will definitely come back.

An instant favorite! 
My personal favorites are cassava cake (buding), pancit lucban, and sizzling sisig. 
The price is so reasonable. If you are planning for a group lunch/ dinner, this is the best place to visit.

Buddies @ Buddys! Sobrang saya ng experience namin dito. Yung tipong gitom na gutom na kayo tapos sa buddy's namin napili kumain which is a very good idea! Ang sarap talaga ng Pancit dito! Ung lalagyan mo ng suka! Yum talaga! Usually kasi sa office ko lang natitikman ung pancit which is limited lang ung vinegar syempre pero iba pag nasa restaurant kana. Sobrang satisfied ung mararamdaman mo. Masarap ung chopsuey nila and cassava nila dito. Pero the best talaga ang pancit. Yung location is good din kasi nasa venice mall siya. Must try dito. 😊

pancit! every occassion calls for pancit in the philippines. promotion, resignation, regularization, birthday, child's birthday, boss's birthday. buddy's is your answer to home delivered pancit. we usually purchase from the other brand (their competitor) but i am glad we figured out how to order buddy's for a change.

This has been a long time coming. When we pass by this resto during lunch or dinner, it is always filled with diners. We got hungry one late night and was lucky that we were able to get here right before they took the last orders. We got the favorite Pancit Lucban (Php 209) and the staple Pinoy resto treat Sisig Pork w/ Egg (Php 163). The staff were smiling even if it was towards the end of the day. Was it just us or is the pancit really awesome tasting? Satisfied tummies that night!

I am not a fan of Pancit but boy their Pancit lucban paired with their vinegar is to die for ❤️ only downside for me is the waiting time there’s no clear instruction as to who goes first.

The place is great for family and friends. Most items in the menu comes with rice already and for sharing so it’s budget friendly. I remember ordering food for 5pax for less than 1000 pesos and it’s already to much for us

We had a great catch up sesh here with my old friends and colleagues. The area is open, so it is quite okay to talk and laugh out loud. Haha. We'll definitely go back here for a tipid dine out.

Stumbled into this place for lunch on some recommendations from friends in the area. The pork chops were cooked perfectly the sauce they pour over it I need to know what it is haha it’s like crack haha , the beef steak was also delicious but could of used a better cut of meat maybe rib eye, the vegetables were al dente just how they should be and the cop suey was delicious and fresh not covered in a sugary glaze like other places.

Fiestas are one of the anticipated celebration on our culture aside from the Christmas Season, what if you can experience that Fiesta vibe while dining in. That's what I love about the concept of Buddy's. Their setup is like a Pahiyas Festival of course they're serving authentic Filipino Cuisine. They have options for group sharing meal which is a perfect go to place for team dine out, meeting etc. Plus you got to enjoy the Festive vibe of their place which is 💯 instagram worthy. 😄 Their version of crispy pata is a must try. That crispy savory taste of the pork plus their sauce is a perfect combination.

Visit it at 2nd Flr Venice Grand Canal Mall

Been to their main branch in Lucban. Their signature festive ambience and super yummy halo-halo is something I comeback for.

Their Halo-Halo has all the right ingredients with just the right sweetness. Affordable compared to other halo-halo in the resto market.

Oh and Pancit Lucban (Hab-Hab) is definitely a treat. Buy one and you can share with 2-3 friends, 4 if you will order more.

You should also try their BBQ’s, Burger and Pizza!

Lovely place!

Value for money is the best thing about this restaurant. Friendly staff. Very festive ambiance! The restaurant should somehow put more effort to cleanliness but over-all, this is a nice restaurant! Pancit Canton and Crispy Pata = HEAVEN!

It is not a cozy restaurant but it feels very festive and lively even if you're alone. It proves their tagline, "Sa Buddy's, parang laging fiesta". The place is spacious, colorful, bright and full of decorations. Service was good, but we waited long for the food to be served to us. The prices of their food were so affordable. 

Ordered pork barbeque and pork sisig. Everything was served hot, literally hot. It took more time for me waiting for it to be less hot so I can start eating. The barbeque has that savory flavor when you start chewing it. Pork Sisig includes egg (see picture). Both were delicious but nothing is special to be honest.
A serving of rice is big enough.

UPDATE: Their porkchop really got me! It's so crispy and tasty. Add toyomansi with sili and be happy with its taste :)

The place we always come and visit, Filipino dish at it's finest, comforting and fullfilling. We had dinner with homegrown foods, Crispy pata, Bulalo, Chopsuey, Inihaw na porkchop, sizzling pusit, palabok, sisig, lechon paksiw and fried porkchops. We had lemonade and sago't gulaman for drinks.

Did I like it?
A bit. The food's really not that special but I love their Crispy Pata and Pancit Lucban. All the other food of theirs that I tried didn't really blew me away but it was okay. I love the ambiance of the place because it feels like there's a fiesta everyday and the staff were nice and attentive.

Is it affordable?
Yes. Aside from their very affordable group meals, 800 is already more than enough to feed a group of 6.

Will I come back?
Yes. :)

This is our go to food for team meetings in the office. Our delivery requests are more often than the number of times we've actually visited a store.

I personally love their Pancit Lucban. I even tried out their Branch in Lucban when I attended the Pahiyas festival.

It's one of the restaurants that I like that offers Filipino food. I honestly do not patronize Filipino restaurants since the meals at home are already great. Hahahaha

Hindi pa ako nakakapag-dine in dito dahil palagi lang may nagdadala ng take out mula rito sa mga team meetings namin (malapit lang kasi sa opisina). Napakasaya ko sa Pancit Lucban na sobrang masagana sa laman at gulay. Ang sarap din ng suka na isinasahog sa pancit. Wala ring tatalo sa kanilang Pork Barbeque. Napakabait nila dahil hindi na nga maramot sa mismong sauce ay may extra pang nakahiwalay.

One of the restos where it seems anything I order tastes great! Very Pinoy, very festive. Try their pancit lucban with vinegar and longganisa. If you want dessert, their cassava cake tastes great. The price is also very affordable with heaps of serving.

Ordered:

1. Lechon Paksiw
2. Whole Fried Chicken with Fried Noodles
3. Pancit Lucban

Chicken is good/decent, not that special though. Pancit Lucban is tasty and saucy 😊 Lechon paksiw is unique since it looks like curry and the taste os unique as well. Resto is festive in appearance. Overall, nothing special with the food and prices are ok in terms of food experience.

I had a mission, to eat all the "pork" #filipinofood I could get my hands on. So last Saturday when I met up with my girls, we decided to go to Buddy's...the wafting smell of the barbecue snatched me! I ordered for all of us- which means bawal ang gulay! Had the best crispiest crispy pata, pork barbecue, sisig, embutido, pork chops served with lots of java rice! 😍😍 super satisfied...didn't skip on dessert of course, a round of halo-halo to end the wonderful linner (lunch-dinner).

Buddy's Pancit Lucban open it's newest branch in Venice Grand Canal Mall. As I enter the bright and spacious restaurant, I was amazed with the vibrant and colorful interior of Buddy's. The fiesta feels! It was inspired with Pahiyas Festival in Lucban, Quezon happening every 15th of May in honor of San Isidro Labrador. You will also see the traditional coloful kiping (rice wafer) in Buddy's interior making more a truly fiesta experience.

I had Lucban Longganisa (4 pcs) served with Garlic Rice and Egg for Php125.00 and Jr. Pork Barbecue for Php45.00 each.

Lucban Longganisa - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
"This is always be my favorite in Buddy's aside from Pancit Lucban. The intense flavor of garlic inside the longganisa was very flavorful, you will ask for more rice and vinegar for this... hahaha!" 😂

Jr. Pork Barbecue - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
"The pork barbecue was evenly cooked and it taste sweet and mild spicy. I don't know if that's a pepper."

The staff provided good service. He assisted me on what I need during that time.

For delicious and affordable meals you can visit Buddy's Pancit Lucban newest branch at 2nd Floor Venice Grand Canal Mall, Mckinley Hill, Taguig.

My officemates and I eat here almost everyday. We love dining here because it's affordable, they offer various food options (group meals or solo), good customer service, the restaurant is neat and has a welcoming ambiance. You can eat here almost everyday and you'll never run out of options. I recommend the pancit, fried chicken, pizza with kesong puti and all their dishes in sizzling plate. You'll never go wrong.

First time to taste their food. Im a pansit lover especially bihon. I ordered their pansit lucban. Yes alot of "sahog" big cuts of meat and veggies but once i tasted their pansit there is lacking. I only tasted the saltiness of it. No taste of pork neither the veggies. "may kulang" maalat lang siya... Parang toppings lang ang sahog... periOd. I also tried their sisig i know that sisig is not their specialty so their sisig is a no no taste also for me. I was disappointed since i always crave to eat here and the judgement is over. Will try their menu some other time SOON.
