I was delighted to see this one time while I was walking towards buying DVDs. Finally after many attempts, I saw what's inside. It's huge, can fit hundreds. It had memorabilia all over. From jerseys, photos and even basketball activities. On this trip, my friends and I had three appetizers. They were named either famous PBA player nicknames or signature moves. They weren't exactly fitting the food though. The Crispy Squid Rings was the best. At Php 180 it was generous. It comes with Spicy Cheesy Meaty Flavor and Coriander Tomato. It's indeed crispy, good on its own but better with the sauces. Next was the Dynamite. We taught it was the wrapped fried green chili but it's Kilawin with liempo and chili. It also had dilis. This was just okay. It was confusing to eat with so many things going on. Last stop was the Shrimp Dumplings. It had cheese inside which made it even more tasty. It had 6 pieces each filled in every bite. I would suggest going for their Team Samplers for groups. They have 5 kinds.

The staff there at first are accommodating but not for so long. I think the place is so spacious and its a great venue for events. The downside for me is that their sound system is not good because the band for that night tried adjusting themselves (mics, feedbacks, etc.) so that they could perform at their best. The food was just bland. That pizza that we ordered is not the one that I am expecting though their names on the menu was unique that it made me want to try it. Overall, it was just okay since the venue is good and not so crowded. I hope the food would be better next time.

PBA Cafe is tucked at the 2nd level of the Metrowalk. Pretty spacious and they even have some rooms for private functions (I think there was a stag party in one of them when I was there). Considering I attended a birthday party with a buffet menu, the only dish in the a la carte menu I got to try was the Pork Belly Teriyaki which was tender and so good with rice.But you do have to enjoy the place for its basketball court (Php50 for every 12 minutes) where you could probably work out some of the calories and the basketball shooting arcade. They also have a live band on the Friday night we were there that made the mood festive and fun.
