Since the 90's Dencio's has been a staple Filipino restaurant to most Filipino families. As they celebrate their 26th year, we revisit their classic dishes that made them the go-to restaurant for sisig and beer. Appetizers: Calamares - Crispy and tender with a side of tartar sauce perfect for pulutan.Crispy Embotido with Shrimp- perfectly crispy on the outside but moist and full of flavor inside, eat this with their sweet and sour sauce Main Courses:Bulalo- A good mix of meat and utak with a decent broth Crispy Sisig - Been going here for this sisig since I was in highschool. Still delicious with a squeeze of calamansi a bit of knorr and hot sauce. Best partnered with beerSinugba - The chicken, liempo, squid, and tuna are marinated in a soy calamansi sugar sauce. It's tasty and sweet. Kare Kare - Beef and tripe that are stewed in a peanut sauce. Dessert: I highly suggest having all three. They revamped their desserts to be even better and adding new elements to each dish. Halo Halo - classic Maiz con yelo - I love how they added cereal for an added crunch Buko Pandan - Creamy taste with pearls There's a reason why Dencio's has been a staple restaurant for more than two decades and still thriving. With innovation to their menu, they keep us excited of how they can elevate their classic dishes. Thank you to Dencio's and to website PH.

Dencio before has a lot of designs included with their interior. Now that they have renovations making it more modernized, it is more neat and spacious to look at.Now for the food. Their menu 'House Favorites' has few of my favorites that I would like to recommend to all of you.😁😍😆😄😅😃🙂😐😑KARE KARE was good and a lot of vegetables in it. But ive tasted other karekare with richer flavor than this.🙂SIZZLING BISTEK TAGALOG was great! The meat was tender and the flavors are well balanced.😆EMBUTIDO is different to what I usually see and eat. The prawn inside of it will surprise you as you bite it! And the fried molo strips covering it giving it a good crunch is just perfect. The sauce also compliments this food well.😍PINAPUTOK NA PANCIT has a presentation I've never seen before in other pancits I have eaten. And its taste is unique knowing that it is not that salty and the noodle combination gives you different textures in your mouth.😄DENCIOS CRISPY SISIG is your usual sisig paired with beers that you will surely enjoy.😃MANGO CHILI was very surprising! The taste of sour mangoes that slowly changes into a spicy sensation in your mouth makes you confused what to feel. But surely for me its refreshing and a bit addicting even its super spicy at the end.😅Great experience eating here knowing that they have live bands here sometimes. Good place to chill with your friends and also will try to comeback here to try other foods. Dencios did a good job in turning their old setup into something more inviting to different age brackets. And they also have function rooms upstairs for events so check them out or contact for more details! 😁

Dencios is a restaurant institution for the longest time, serving a wide variety of Filipino food for the masses. And now under a new restaurant group, they are focused on renovating it to be more of a resto bar that would cater the modern tastes, as well as most of the millenials. In line with this, they made some changes with some of the items in the menu and I am sure interested to try it out. Here are some of the items that I would highly recommend:Crispy Embutido Hipon - This was one of the items that I wasn't really expecting to hit but just gave me a home runner. The texture of the molo strips and the shrimp filling just gave a different approach to my pallete. A definite must-try.Pinaputok na Pancit - Now this is something that will catch your attention. It's basically Guisadong Pancit with Coconut milk, finished off binalot-style. Tastes good as well!Dencio's Krispy Sisig - An old school item in the menu, still pleasing the masses up until now. Great with beer if I may add.Bistek Tagalog - Well-seasoned dish that is something that you should consider ordering with rice. A great meal is insured with this.Mango Chili - The mango shake with a hidden kick. Not for the non-spice afficionados as this gives you a hint of spice after drinking.I like what they did with the interiors as it became spaceous and cozy for diners. They also had large monitors inside for sporting events. I just hope they can open earlier so that I could watch the NBA Finals at their place. But all in all, I'm looking forward towards Dencio's further evolution as I'm definitely going back for my beer buckets and sisig. 😊

Sisig has been my favorite "to try" on our food hunting. We make sure we try every sisig on every restaurants. So here comes the well hyped Dencio's. From the moment we enter the staff are all very polite and the interior design of the restaurant is outstanding. We ordered their sisig and nachos. We planned to order additional food and desserts while in the middle of eating but when the sisig is served, I find it bland, the salty taste is not there. Nothing special, this is just my opinion based on my taste buds. We didn't order additional food and desserts and we decided to just settle for their sisig. Anyways will come back for sure to try their other dishes.

Good food. Great service. It was my first time yesterday to this branch together with my kids and it was a pleasant experience. Grilled liempo was amazingly delicious. My kids enjoyed their Dencios fried chicken. Beer was served below zero. Will definitely come back! 👍🏻👍🏻

Dencio’s has been in the game for so long. I can’t even remember how many times I’ve eaten here with the family. This is my first time in their Kia Theater, Cubao branch though and I noticed that their interiors were better and inviting. It’s cozy and comfortable that you would want to stay here longer. It really is a restaurant for families and big groups since their servings can accommodate 3 people and more. The sisig is a staple whenever I go to Filipino restaurants. Dencio’s Krispy Sisig has its own charm. With the right amount of crispiness and flavor, I think they’ve already perfected their take on it. Their bulalo has big chunks of meat that is perfect for me because I’m not really fond of the bone marrow and the tendons. I just hoped that the meat will be a little more tender the next time. The dinakdakan is a little too spicy for me but will definitely satisfy those who love spicy food. My favorites from the food that were served are the Pancit Dencio’s, Krispy Embutido Hipon, and Mais Con Quezo. I could live with just these 3. Pancit Dencio’s is perfectly cooked and seasoned with the medley of all the “sahog”. Krispy Embutido Hipon is new and different and like it. I’m, typically, not fond of embutido but this one is an exception. Maybe because of its crispy exterior and it’s not sweet. The fact that it’s made of shrimp helped as well. The Mais con Quezo is my weakness. Corn and cheese? Really? The mild saltiness of the cheese went perfectly with the sweet corn and milk. I will definitely order this every time I step inside a Dencio’s restaurant.In conclusion, Dencio’s is still Dencio’s. It’s still one of the go-to restaurants of families who want classic Filipino dishes and a little more. Their newer dishes are definitely must-try’s as well.

Where to go to eat your favorite plus mouth-watering pinoy dishes? Drop by and discover the top quality dishes of @denciosph situated near KIA Theatre, Cubao, Quezon City. Here are my top favorites:I love their Sisig, it’s my all time favorite in Dencios. It’s crunchy, and it’s better to partner with beer or any alcoholic drinks. You can also try their Pansit, it’s a chinese style dish. It’s superb and yummy! Of course, you must not miss their Bulalo, for me, this is their specialty. You must eat and slurp the soup when it’s still hot. To add more colour to your day, you can also try their small but delish Turon with Langka. Make sure to end your day with their Buko Pandan, Mais Con Quezo and Halo Halo with Ice cream. Very appetizing. Excellent service, very welcoming staffs and they’re all attentive. The place has a great Filipino homestyle interior designs, so awesome! See you there! 🙌🏻PS:Btw, For birthdays, parties or any gatherings, you can book their 2nd floor. It can accommodate 60-70 persons. For more details, pls check dencios KIA THEATRE Branch.

A homage to traditional, feel-good, comforting Filipino food, Dencio's is not only an amazing tambayan for your barkadas or colleagues, it is also a mouthwatering spot for you and your loved ones to chow down to and have a good time. In my experience, here were some of my favorites:   DENCIO'S HOUSE FAVORITES Krispy Embutidong Hipon  -this dish reminds me of a shrimp okoy, with a 360 degree makeover! It has a crispy exterior and a tender center, this dish is enjoyable with rice, or honestly, by itself!Bulalo  -very comforting broth and can be suitable for a group of 3-4 peopleKrispy Sisig  -I recommend you mixing it in with your preferred seasoning or hot sauce(or fresh chilis) and a bucket of beer. Cheers!Krispy Pata-another perfect pairing with beer, their Krispy Pata is seasoned well, and is crisp on the outside, soft and juicy on the insideSari-Saring Sinugba   -a plateful of Dencio'sgrilled eats. Tuna Belly, Chicken, Pork LiempoDESSERT Turon de Sorbetes-small, bitesize pieces of turon served with vanilla ice cream on the sideBuko Pandan  Halo-Halo with Ice Cream Mais Con Quezo

We estimated that our overall charge would be around 2.5k for all 8 of us, but we weren't able to help ourselves and had extra rice orders, extra drinks and desserts. Add to that two more family members came in midway and was able to help themselves with our existing orders, hiking the charge to 3.5k something total.Customer service adds flavor to the already great serving of our orders and this did not disappoint. It was a family gathering for us and we left with our pockets a little lighter but our bellies full, and palate satisfied.Cheers!P.S. I wouldn't shy a star away if my wife didn't find it an offense in her part na dineliver samin yung bill and when we had it paid eh parang inaannounce sa buong family yung cost and yung binayad namin sa mismong table namin. While I don't really mind it that much.... a little misunderstanding perhaps, but decided to leave it here, as Im not sure if normal or not.
