Its been a while. This is my first write up after a year and a half since my last review. I had tasted lots of different food places but none of them gave me the urge to make a review again, up until now. KAYU! This place gives you a taste of heaven. The food, the place and the staffs were all superb! The place was cozy, romantic, and expensive looking. Like I would really bring my partner on my next visit. 5 stars for the food presentation as well. I can say that every dish they serve was really made with passion and dedication. It’s like being a taster in a cooking show. The taste of the food tickles and plays with your palettes. Everyone was kind and warm. They made sure that we got what we paid for. They made sure that we enjoyed our meal and was satisfied with it. All in all, I really recommend the place. It is worth every penny. Sobra ka lami!

Our first time to try the place and I must say the experience was above expected. We're extremely pleased with the service, ambience, and the food. Very good value. Highly recommended!Update 5.2019Same excellent service. However, chef needs to lay off the sugar. Didn't enjoy the food as much because 3 of 4 dishes were sweet. Downgrading from 5 stars.

For me this place is so so, I wouldn’t come back for it like it’s not something I would crave for. I have been in the food industry for a while and their techniques are very simple but overly overpriced.

Great customer service...though we went there on fathers day,food attendants were quick and courteous...we had d glazed salmon,it was superb..d charred octupos i feel like it needed somethng else to be more tasty (perhaps a lil sourness would do..hehe) d creamy shrimp pasta is also heavenly..and d short rib is such a comfort. For the 3 of us,we spent 3500...a lil expensive.but worth the price.

Kayu has all the important factors in choosing a restaurant: comfortable ambience, good service, and quality of food. You have an atmosphere that encourages conversation with good lighting so you can see the delicious dish you're enjoying! My favorite is the glazed salmon and I can eat it every single day! Kayu is definitely the best restaurant in Cebu!

The foods are all fancy-looking but it's worth your money. They prepare foods to the highest level. This is a perfect place if you are looking for a very good fine-dining experience. They have their own ways in preparing foods and most of their foods are not found elsewhere. The ambiance is luxurious in all aspect. Perfect venue for corporate meetings. 👍

Ambience is good.  The set menu that was offered was not worth the money you paid for. The soup was terrible. The dessert was too sweet . Meringue was too thick and too sweet. Service is lousy! Waiters and waitresses seemed to be disorganized. My entire family was very disappointed. I highly recommended the restaurant since I was there with several friends about 6 months ago. Apparently, the restaurant's standard has changed a lot since 6 months ago.

One of my favorite TV shows is Masterchef Australia. I can't believe how amateur cooks and chefs can come up with amazing dishes using unusual ingredients. Their creations were restaurant-quality and something that we don't normally experience when dining in Cebu. Nutella Cheesecake-  Hazelnut Nutella Truffle, Candied Hazelnuts, and Granola Crumbs

Took us a while to actually locate the main door. Hahahahaha minus 0.5 for that. This great restaurant is located at 32 Sanson Road, Lahug. If youve been to Marisse Patisserie before, it wouldnt be a problem locating Kayu. It is a perfect place if you want to dine with a loved one or colleague at peace. Service was surprisingly fast and good despite all the other reviews I read and food was a bit expensive but definitely worth the price. Their glazed salmon tasted so great, you must try it out! They actually serve a lunch set, if youre in for a complete course. Worth every penny, paying just P450, complete from appetizers to dessert. Overall, our dining experience was an awesome and pleasant one.❤️ (sorry for the pics, my boyfriend and i do not know how to take instagram-worthy pics, like at all😂)

Went to Kayu with friends. It felt prestige back then. The place was good. Food was great. I believe they are just two pager? Or three pager
