Sarsa Kitchen + Bar - Quezon City

I've forgotten to take photos of the rest of our orders. I will definitely be back for there Special Batchoy, Sisig, Isaw, etc. I will recommend this restaurant for balikbayans :)

Parang kumain ka lang sa bahay na pinasosyal. Nothing special about this place. Too expensive, the servings of the food was surprisingly small because it's Filipino cuisine. It's supposed to be a big serving. But it's not. You have to order like 10 dishes for you to be full.

One of our favorite resto in UP Town. If you're looking to have casual dinner with your family or friends, this place is perfect. The chicken inasal, binakol and pork belly are a must try. Serving size is okay. Tip: the place can be very busy at around dinner time. Have an early dinner (around 5) to avoid the crowd and queue.

Chicken was under cooked again for my second visit. Did not bother to complain as we will never return. Cashier was also super slow as the place only had 5 tables.

Had lunch here for Mother's Day, and understandably, the place was packed. Fortunately, we were smart enough to pre-book a table, and were ushered inside after waiting for just a few minutes. We were asked to sit at a comfy couch, corner table, and I was glad that although the place was full, it didn't feel cramped. My family and I still had enough breathing space to sit and talk comfortably, without the people from the neighboring seat hearing us. We were handed the menu almost immediately, and we ordered their Laing, Pansit Palabok, Tuna Sisig, Sarsa Chicken (highly recommended by my brother's officemates) and five cups of rice. Food was served within 15 mins as promised. We were even updated every once in a while of the status. The verdict on food quality: everything tasted great and complementary! My favorite as always was the Laing which I just had to put some more chili on, so it will be my right level of spice. The chicken was indeed best seller material with its rich and tasty sauce, although would have preferred that they already removed the chicken skin. Not a fan of pansit palabok but surprisingly, I liked their version. There was a different taste to it that may be unique to Sarsa's/Bacolod's style. And lastly, the tuna sisig was also quite good, which we finished in just minutes. Service standpoint, the staff was very attentive and patient even though they had countless, free-flowing customers because of the occasion. My glass of water was almost never left empty. The icing to the cake of our dining experience was that we were given free dessert. This was a promo of theirs where first 50 moms will be given a treat. After our meal, we were served with Banana Tsokolate Turon which was 6 pieces of turon smothered with sweet sauce that tasted like Choc-Nut. Yum! What a nice gesture from them which even us (the non-moms) benefited from ???? Price-wise, it was slightly a bit pricey than usual, because the food serving size was only good for 2-3 so we had to order a number of dishes. Nevertheless, it was worth it. Kudos to Sarsa! You're now in my top 5 favorite Filipino food restos to dine in ????????
