Kalui - Puerto Princesa

The Kare Kare seafood was very ordinary consisted of 2 small prawns and liquid. My wife is a Filipino Chef and complained to staff, Later a half coconut appeared with cut fruit in it as some sort of gift apology? The fruit was brown on surface probably a day old so it was no good to eat anyway. No verbal apology was offered regarding the amount of seafood in the Kare Kare. The squid I had myself was not cooked properly a bit raw inside and it was not cleaned properly and tasted very ordinary. Our opinion of the food is Cons Over priced for the amount of food and over rated in reviews as this food does not stand out in flavor. Pros The premises are clean and atmosphere good.

We had family visiting from Manila so 8 of us went here for lunch. We ordered a variety of food including 2 sets of the meal for two which consisted of fish steak, prawns, tempura eggplant, fish rolls, soup and rice. Everything was excellent and we were all completely full.

First time here, but very nice experience. Good food, nice ambiance and we felt very welcome too. Barefoot restaurant with lots of nicely decorated tables to choose from. Mostly Seafood and fish in the menu. Had the tubataha salad as appetizer, tuna and seaweed, lots of papaya and mango with cashew. In this combination not common, but still liked it. Shake and Longdrink for 120-150 Pesos fairly priced. Had sizzling seafood and eel adobo. Both nice taste, eel the better choice, portions a bit small though. Also rice should be inclusive, not to be ordered extra. Service charge comes on top also. Fresh fish by weight quiet expensive in my opinion. Half kilo shrimp was 1.540php, which is a lot for Philippines, where you get that for 200php at the market. No wine sold by the glass, only bottle. Think that could be improved. Overall nice experience and for us the much better choice than for instance very busy Ka Inato opposite the street, where I really miss the service and even left yesterday as no one helped us for 20 minutes. Not cheap, but different than the others. We will definitely be back.

We went here on a Saturday night. The place was busy, but not crowded. You are required to remove your shoes at the door. Decor and background music is classic Filipino. My Filipino friends consider this one of their Top Two restaurants in Puerto. I prefer Western foods would not put this in my Top 5. Quality, service pricing are ll excellent.

We had the most incredible meal here! We went for the sharing platter as we couldn't decide what to have. It was 795 peso and we got a huge amount of food! The fish roles in coconut sauce was an absolute stand out! I just can't rate this restaurant highly enough, everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere and decor was perfect.
