I wonder why I've never noticed Master Garden in my own hood until today. website says it'll cost you about a thousand Pesos for two here and they open late in the day. Good news, folks! They now serve buffet breakfast starting at 7am for only P145! Yes, that's right - P290 for two 😊. They have a pretty decent selection of dishes for the price, and everything tastes good. What's different about this place is that the drinks come free with the buffet, unlike other places that will lure you in with low buffet price and then hit you with expensive drinks. They also have a smoking section that looks comfortable enough, and the staff are all courteous and friendly. I would recommend this place to my friends and family

The people behind the very successful food franchise Master Siomai has expanded into the full-service restaurant business. Master Garden serves mainly Filipino dishes--with such amusing names as Tuyo with Love, Putok-Batok, Istapeghi, and Ligaya ni Aguinaldo--with a smattering of familiar Western, Chinese, and Thai dishes. Master Garden's success in its first outlet in Malabon prompted the birth of its second outlet in Quezon City (along Tomas Morato), where I and a dozen other foodies were invited to sample its menu.If your family is anything like mine, eating out on a Sunday means crispy pata, beef kare-kare, pork or fish sinigang, and mounds of piping hot rice. I eschew these traditional Filipino dishes, and recommend the dishes below which Master Garden does quite well.Sugpo sa Maalat na Dagat - Succulent tiger prawns doused with spicy salted egg sauce. That first taste of its lush sauce will have everyone on your table calling dibs. The texture could be better with the addition of one or two regular egg yolks in the sauce, and maybe a little less heat. Nevertheless, Master Garden's version of this dish is very good, and is a must-try.Baby Squid in Olive Oil - It is a deceptively simple dish made by sauteeing the tender flesh of young squid in olive oil and garlic, but it is not short on flavor. This dish demands a lot of extra rice, and will surely wreck someone's strict low-carb diet.Chicken BBQ - I know. I prefaced my list of recommended dishes with that caveat on traditional Filipino dishes. But Master Garden's version is delicious and flavorful, and can hold its own against Manila's most popular chicken barbecue restaurant.Binagoongan a la Malabon - Half ensaladang talong, half crispy bagnet. It is my kind of salad! Adobong Puso ng Saging - Another veggie dish that I enjoyed a lot. It strikes the near-perfect balance between sweet and sour and savory-garlicky goodness. It makes a great complement to Master Garden's Putok-Batok crispy pata or any of its meaty entrees.Master Garden deserves to be bookmarked on your website app. Thank you, Master Garden, for the sumptuous spread!#TheFoodCrawlers

Food - 4/5Service - 4/5Value for money - 4/5 (if you visit in a group of at least 4) Was my second time eating here :)Got the squid/shrimp, fried rice, laing and crispy pata :) The food was very tasty although portion size was a bit small. The wait staff was very attentive and very friendly. The resto is a bit on the pricey side so i suggest you go in a small group rather than dining for two, so you could sample more of their entrees :) its a thumbs up for me :) an above average filipino resto in my honest opinion :)
