Went here on a weekday for lunch around 11.30am. The place was nice and quiet. Service was actually pretty good. The servers were attentive and efficient. The food was average. The restaurant needs updating though, as the floors and furniture looked old and worn. We had a fun time feeding the fish. If you like feeding fish, this is the place to go.

We placed our order at 1:10 PM, and by 1:32 PM there was still no food. During this time, customers who just arrived after us were already served, indicating issues with order handling and service coordination.
At the time, the restaurant was not busy. Out of approximately 22 tables, only around 5 – 6 were occupied, making the long wait unexpected.
One of the customers who was served ahead of us was dining with a foreigner. While this may not have been intentional, the situation raised a concern about possible preferential treatment, which was uncomfortable as a guest.
Because of the delay and the time of day, we brought out some bread while waiting, but were informed that outside food was not allowed. Given the circumstances, this added to the frustration.
Service throughout the visit was slow and poorly managed.
Regarding the food quality:
• The pork belly was burnt
• The calamares was soggy
• The crab and shrimp did not seem fresh
• No service water (DTI, we need your attention on this)
The restaurant’s concept features de-elevated tables surrounded by water with koi fish, which initially adds to the ambiance. However, the fish occasionally jump and splash water onto the tables, creating a potential food contamination concern.
Plastic hand gloves were offered, but only very late into the meal, and guests were not informed of this option earlier.
Overall: Service was disappointing, and the food did not compensate for the experience.
Warning to future customers: Even during non-peak hours, service may be slow, inconsistent and terrible, and guest treatment may feel uneven.

The place is beautiful and it’s fun to feed the fishes while waiting for the food. Staff was enough even during peak hours.
However, food portions are too small esp. the sinuglaw for sharing so we had to order another meal enough for 2pax and a it’s bit pricey for small portions. It was delicious tho, presentation was nice, and staff were nice enough to recommend sisig as an additional food since it’s being prepared faster.

We went here today, October 20, around 11am to 1pm. The staff were really accommodating and friendly. They even checked if the food was okay and if we liked it. The rest of the team were so nice and welcoming. The place itself is very beautiful and aesthetic, such a nice spot to relax. The food was also very delicious. We truly had a great experience. Thank you!

Nice cozy place however food is quite expensive with very small serving amount. Difficult place to navigate and find. They say evening is best time to visit. A place to visit but not highly recommended

We visited this restaurant when we were in Cebu, and overall it was a nice experience.
**Location** – I’m not very familiar with the exact location since we had a taxi driver contact who took us there. However, if you’re planning to book a Grab ride, it might be difficult because the restaurant seems quite far from the city.
**Food** – The food was okay, nothing particularly outstanding but still decent.
**Restaurant** – I really loved the concept of dining surrounded by fish—it’s a unique and relaxing idea. However, it seems like the place isn’t being maintained very well. I hope they improve the cleanliness of the aquarium, as it would make the dining experience much better.

Don’t get me wrong, service is superb, atmosphere is great but the food? I’m not sure if they change their cook every now and then since they are already established for 2 years already.
They need to do something with their food. Really.

The dining experience is definitely unique, the fishes keep you entertained while waiting for the food. The staff are accomodating and welcoming. The food is fine although there are few dishes that need some seasoning. My only issue is that it can get hot because there’s not a lot fan for good air circulation.
Overall would dine again.

Loved the ambiance at Sungka Native Restaurant, especially dining by the pond! Their pancit canton was really good, though the buttered chicken didn’t feel buttery to me. One thing I noticed is that the tables are quite small if you order more than 5 dishes, it gets really crowded and hard to set the plates properly.

Food was absolutely amazing. Kudos to your cooks/chefs. I can’t say if it’s the same for the tabled guests but the fish pond seats were so nice. Fish feeding was interactive best for kids. Service was fast and wait time was not that long which was a plus given that orders could not be placed in the waiting area.
One thing to say though, and I know you are still new, but bathroom utilities and waiting area needs improvement. It’s also quite concerning that the waiting area and the path leading to the bathroom is an open space, while the space is serene and cool, sudden weather changes may give it a bad and uninviting vibe. May I also add, if you have plans adding in some more lights in the parking area? Since the space is not smooth, I’d recommended adding more lights for safety.
Other than that, your restaurant is highly recommendable.
