My family loves eating filipino food and we like discovering new restaurants serving classic Filipino dishes — and Crisostomo is one of our good discoveries. What I also love about Crisostomo is their interiors. The place is perfect for get togethers. The well-thought of menu, having reference to Rizal’s work, is likewise entertaining.Every single dish we ordered did not disappoint. For starters we had Protacio’s pride (Baked mussels with garlic and cheese) and Crazy Sisa (crispy hito flakes with green salad). For the main course we ordered Rice with taba ng talangka and Sinigang ni Eva (sinigang with watermelon and native vegetables); Kapitan Tiago (chicken inasal with inihaw atay); Anastacio (crispy hito with mango slices and burning hipon on mustasa leaves) ; Kare-kare ni Simon (seafood kare kare). Not in the photos are my lolo’s halo-halo ni crisostomo and my sister’s avocado shake. I MUST commend the crispy hito which is by far, one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever had. It was fresh and fried to perfection, which is paired perfectly with the green mango slices. The sinigang with watermelon was something new, but I like how the sweet and tangy mixed well in one dish. The chicken inasal is not your usual inasal — it exceeded expectations. It’s not something like I’ve had before. Service is so so. This is probably the only thing in the whole experience that wasn’t exceptional which is why I’m giving Crisostomo 4/5.

Eastwood, Libis - you'll see sorts of restaurants left and right. From the Mediterranean to American restaurants, all sorts of fast food chain and a wide variety of food kiosk for you to choose from. One of which is Crisostomo, owned by Chef Florabel Co, named after Crisostomo Ibarra from Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tángere and alliteration of her husband's name, Christopher. Famed for its contemporary take on Filipino dishes - if its pinoy food you crave, I guess this is the right place for you.

The food was good, but really expensive. The staff tried so hard to accommodate our requests. However, there were a lot of leftovers from our table, so we opted for take out. The staff did not include almost half of our UNTOUCHED orders! Very dishonest and disappointing, considering we paid 15k for our meal!Make sure to check your take out bags because the staff are disgustingly dishonest! So much for very expensive Filipino food!
