    All you can eat seafood. Value for money buffet restaurant where one can indulge in the typical Filipino comfort food. But the Mai attraction of these carinderia-style restaurant is their all you can eat Chili Crabs (alimasag). Don't forget your maintenance medicine.

    A go-to place for seafood lovers who are on a tight budget. If you love baked scallops like me, you better check this place out now! People complain about the size of the scallops but it really doesnt matter because its unlimited!!! They taste really good, too. Unli crabs also offered but you really have to be prepared to get your hands dirty if you want to eat them.

    Not for fancy eaters. The place isn't even instagrammable, just a plain old no-frills resto that has been around for awhile. Nothing special. But why do I come here at least once a month? Because they have affordable, unlimited SEAFOOD (with crabs for dinner). That's why.I am a sucker for baked scallops and oysters with lots of cheese on top. In a typical resto, 10 pcs would cost around P100-150. I could eat 3 FULL plates of those (let's say each plate would have 20 pcs) and I'm not exagerrating- so imagine how much savings I could get in an eat-all-u-can rate of 315? And don't even get me started on the crabs. Oh no, not those small crabs where you can hardly eat any meat. I'm talking about the big ones. Flavor-wise, it's not that tasty and needs more zest but, well, crabs are crabs right? Are there any other restos having unli crabs with the same price asTongs? As far as I know, there's NONE. Oh, they also have fish fillet, seaweeds and other shells. The other viands, I do not care about. For dessert I only eat watermelon and pineapple but they also have little square cakes. Free iced tea and WIFI too.Here are the reasons for my deductions:-0.5 = Like I said, the place isn't fancy. Not something you'd post about. Although, I do take pictures of the food so I could drool on them. Haha!-0.5 = Slow refills. Luckily, I am not the shy type. I really approach them and ask when they'd refill esp. when there are a lot of people waiting. I hate waiting.-0.5 = So-so tasting crabs. Could be improved.Would I come back here?Are you kidding me? Of course I will!Hope my review helps! 😊

    Tong's has been a staple in the mid range buffet scene. Their trump card is the all-you-can-eat Oysters, Mussells and Scallops. The scallops though seem to be just those small ones that are easily overpowered by the cheese. The best thing about them is the Mussell soup which tasted really nice. If you're on a budget and love seafood then this is the place to be

    Crabs, talaba and scallops unlimitedIf you're in to that, then this is your place. Other viands are just ordinary. The crabs were good but underspiced kulang ng kick, pero ok na rin since its unli. Talaba was also a plus and the scallops. Bagoong rice didn't taste it but maybe you'll like it. They also have the tahong soup with "aninikad" but can't enjoy the aninikad because it's hard to "kuhit" haha. Their chicken and fish fillet were ok but stay away from it, save the real estate for the seafoods. Dessert biko and maha was served at that time, it was ok. All in all the experience was OK but won't go back if I am paying unless I'm craving for crabs. Just a tip. Be there before 6pm if going for dinner if you want to catch their larger crabs, and if you don't want to be on the waiting. It gets cramp up at the later hours.

    good value for money. it’s a great seafood buffet here in cebu. the crabs and baked scallops were delicious. i just hate the steamed talaba. they dont serve shrimp together with the crabs. the iced tea was bottomless. the waiters were polite and friendly. nonetheless, one should try.

    When we went there, the outside smells like dead sea creatures. I would understand if it smells like sea or fresh fish and sea food but no... Totally not fresh. No squid, no shrimps, totally limited varieties of seafood.

    a decent place to eat, moderate food, ambiance was like calenderia style. price speaks for itself! good food for 300+ pesos I would recommend it for a restaurant that caters majority of the food served are seafood for that proce range

    Who says No to unli seafoods? I enjoyed this place because they served unli seafoods. From shrimps to scallops to talaba. Price is just right. Nasulit ko binayad ko. Cheesy scallops is yum3. A biy sad though for their talaba. I guess since it is pre opened, it's not that juicy anymore.
