Buddy's

This place is like a little slice of home with all its comforts. Buddy's may not look like much from the outside, (my folks questioned if the place was even open before we made our way inside), but when you step in the door, it's a completely different vibe. It looked like another take-out Filipino style food place, but there was an entryway to the right that leads into a much larger dining area. We ordered the pancit Lucban, chicken barbecue, beef caldereta, longganisa, bangus sisig, and sizzling tanigue. Our eyes were much bigger than our appetites because we ended up taking a lot home. Everything was delicious and the meat portions were very generous. I, personally, am not a fan of pancit and never have been despite it always being there at family gatherings. However, Buddy's Pancit was absolutely delicious and even my mum said it was on par with my grandma's version of the dish; We were both in heaven.It was super hot out and halo halo sounded perfect, but unfortunately, they only have the mais con hielo available that time. I'll have to come back again and save room to try one, or two, of their many desserts.It's hard to find nice sit down Filipino restaurants, so Buddy's is a place to always keep in mind. I just wish it was closer to where I live.

Being in Makati I have been eating occasionally here for 10 years. The food is good and affordable. The pansit bihon is really good.  The pansit and pizza is what you should be eating here because not all dishes are that unique for you to order here like yesterday I orderered Inihaw na porkchop 2pcs (there is no 1 pc for Inihaw) and it was ok but not something you should try here. Longanisa is also good.
