This place is just the right place for beer and pulutan (finger food or appetizer) or simply just to relax and hangout, it has good ambiance and the music here is great.

Favorite Dish: This place is also known for its exotic delicacy Tamilok, a wood worm dipped into spicy vinegar.

We enjoyed a sumptuous feast of native food served literally in bilao (tray made of dried leaves) and palayok (earthen pot used for cooking). One bilao full of seafood would have served 8-10 people but the five of us was able to finish them together with a palayok full of sinigang and mixed vegetables. I can feel my stomach grumble just by the thought of it.

Favorite Dish: Everything was delicious. Tastes just what an authentic native filipino dish would be at its best.

Dissappointed!

Won’t be coming back to Ka Lui

Food Rating: so so, overpriced for the taste and the presentation
It’s just enough to fill your stomach
Ambiance: taking off your footwear is just a bit old tad gimmick, there was no theme in the design, eye catching with stuff hanging here and there but not a very comfortable place to move about and reason behind this comment
Staff: not a very friendly bunch, they don’t smile, they don’t make eye contact, they brush you off when you call them

I was about to pay my tab and asked for three glasses of water and nobody was looking at us but mind you we were seated just right across the payment counter. When the staff served us the water, they served me room temperature water and we exactly requested ice cold water. Not much of active listening, it just means they don’t care.

For the amount of money I paid, I should’ve went to Starbucks to be treated right.

Favorite Dish: None because I never want to go there again.

the Lotus garden was the only resto in Puerto Princessa that we visited more than once. the ambience was really inviting and totally at bliss (it wasn't crowded with nibblers when we were there plus the sound when the bar opens..hhoo . .hmm . . japa--nice!), the people (esp. JOrdan (the owner), Richard (the manaGer), ryan, Ivan, And Luigi) were so cool, they're very attentive to your needs, they made us feel comfortable and relaxed (they'd even give you some infos 'bout the place), and all that pleasant gestures that they exhibited toward us.

the food . .?

their all you can eat sushi was really mura (affordable). you can order for as long as your stomach can handle... dazz sooooperb! coz in Manila, I usually spend a thousand or so just to get my sushi apetite satisfied. hmm. . theirs is just P370!
I just regret the Unagi wasn't part of it . . huhuhuhu ...

beverage?

know what? they can actually make whatever kind of drink that you want if it wasn't on the list. (as long as their resources can accomodate). name it. he'll (mr. Jordan) make it.

Favorite Dish: all you can eat sushi . . (esp.) the kani and the pink salmon were so . . soo . .soo mouthwatering . .!

yumyum..

The food was great though there wasn't too much choices. The place is excellent and very good ambiance. Need to call for reservation to have a sure available table.

Favorite Dish: We ordered a set menu...there was steak, grilled shrimp and a fish cooked in coconut milk I think. The foods have special sauce and spices that makes it special. The food presentation was very good.

Wouldn't really put much of the description since people have already posted information about the place wherein you have to remove your slippers/shoes, and you have to reserve since its always full. Food is definitely great, i wouldn't say the servings are that big compared to other restaurants in Puerto Princesa but quality is definitely there.

Favorite Dish: Blue marlin!!! It likes melt on your mouth

The food we ate were all Filipino food, namely: Kare-kare, bulalo, Grilled Tuna, Salpicao, Pinakbet, Shanghai fried rice
Exotic: Breaded Tamilok (woodworm) -- also good!
FOOD was GREAT!!! all tasty and really cheap for that kind of big serving (compared to Manila)
It was a big place with also plenty of people eating but when we arrived we didn't have a problem finding seats. There were tables outside with gave a "fresh air" feel.
There was a bar, and billiard tables.
Music being played when we were there were acoustic/alternative type of music.

Favorite Dish: All of the food we ate was good. Primarily because they were all tasty and servings were worth it.

We ate dinner here on our 2nd night at Puerto Princesa. This restaurant is quite upscale and is fine dining (the table is covered with white cloth and have a cloth napkin) but not really expensive. An average meal here would probably cost around P500 per person. Going to the place is quite tricky. But if you want to dine in peace surrounded by mangroves and have a nice meal you may want to try this place.
