Why Travelers Love Lazy Juan
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Location 🏅, as I am right across at Quest Atrium's serviced apts. Although a hot chocolate & cinnamon roll and then dash , there is a good and lasting impression here. A vivacious young woman who greets, prepares, serves, collects and wishes clients a great day. She adds to the already sparkling & colorful environment. Suede fabric on the seats ✅, cherry stainded chairs with a radius back which is really comfortable. A lesson with framed words in Tagalog ( translated ). Sweet music for easy listening- such a good vibe here. Plus the man whom may share duties in the kitchen and probably is co - owner has some fine food offerings from Phillipine origins. I have photos to share the dish names so you can preview ahead, you will want to come here whether breakfast, lunch or more ! Perfect spot for a work lunch. Lots of tables and service was fast. We got the seafood palabok which is massive and the salmon. Both very tasty Heavily fusion inspired filipino food. A bit more on the expensive side but nonetheless we enjoyed our food and the lovely service. Warning on the “garlic rice” though - for a few extra dollars it’s just rice with fried garlic sprinkled on top.

Amazing Filipino restaurant & Cafe where you can find authentic and traditional Filipino food made with love and passion.. Archie and his team provide excellent service and mouthwatering food with a modern twist. I highly recommend a visit to this beautiful restaurant to experience the taste of Phillipines

Discovering this hidden gem was a nostalgic journey back to authentic Filipino flavors! The menu is a delightful assortment, perfect for sharing between two or for hearty individual servings. What's more, the convenience of free 15-minute street parking right outside the restaurant adds to the overall enjoyable experience. A definite must-visit for anyone yearning for genuine Filipino cuisine! Having a sungka while waiting too.
