Why Travelers Love Kinabuchs Grill
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I remember coming here for the first time in 2011 and it was amazing and I absolutely loved it. Came back today and it never disappoints. Food was very very good - I’ll highlight the cashew fried rice as it was unique and I highly recommend it. Staff were friendly and very efficient. Place had nice ambiance, highly recommended if you’re looking for a good Filipino restaurant in Puerto Princesa. Cozy affordable place for tourist in Puerto Princesa. The place is huge and they have 3 bar counters in total to make the service fast and convenient for their customers. They offer a wide variety of local cuisines and alcohol selections. The price is reasonable and worth it. A prime location within the city. They have a lot of staff to make it easier for the customers to order, guards for protection and sometimes police officers within the vicinity. Nice place to visit and chill in Puerto. Absolutely loved this place! The best pork I've ever had! The servers are very friendly and polite, too. I'll come back next time I visit Palawan.

our korean friends enjoyed their food, esp the sinigang! the mango shake was a bit sour for our liking, but it was ok. the fried tofu was underwhelming, but everything else was great. :) loved how chill it was—the ambiance, music, and overall vibe of the place. it's an open area, so it could be quite hot. the servers were nice enough to offer a table in front of the fan. thank you!

The Crispy Pata was great. The menu claimed it was not greasy, and they were absolutely correct. The chop suey was very light and the vegetables seemed very fresh. A nice balance of flavor. The best Chop Suey my partner has had. The garlic rice was "nice and garlicky". The Halo-Halo was the best that we've ever had (coming from a Filipina who has had halo-halo since she was a kid). Seriously try this!
