Thumbs down for Kainan sa Balanghay.
I always get excited everytime I purchase a voucher because I know I'll have a great time and experience at a slashed-off price. Mimi and I used our Voucher from Metrodeal at Kainan sa Balanghay, one of the Paluto restaurants at Seaside, Macapagal. I am very considerate at posting feedbacks regarding my experience at every place but this time I really can't hide my dissapointment at this place.
For P200 pesos I got this deal entitled,"Unlimited Eat-All-You-Can International Buffet Featuring the Best Dishes from Asia & Drink for P199 instead of P500"..But nothing in this phrase fits the experience we had. It is not Unlimited,it is not worth P500 and the worst of all, it does not feature the best dishes from Asia!
What we had for the night are Salad, A forgettable Maki, Adobo, Chicken Curry, Fish Fillet,Pansit, Ginataan and that's it.
Plus, a glass of Iced Tea
The Buffet was a mess because they didn't had the time range for the dinner buffet and they had their cut-off time for refilling as early as 8pm when in fact it is just a mid-dinner time..The food and service was just OK and everything is so forgettable!
They're trying to blame Metrodeal for posting the wrong ad but actually, it has been there for a long time and they didn't even bother coordinating with metrodeal to change it. SO MISLEADING.
Anyways, Voucher Holders cannot cancel their purchase anymore but still, you can give it a try..we all live with different perspectives, anyway.
Always SMILE.=)
Mimi got more happy with Her Big DQ Cone.It was so fun watching her finish the ice cream in so much mess.=)

Thanks for speaking up. I'm not sure if you read my comment to your post on Kainan sa Balanghay's wall on Facebook. I was blocked from posting on their site, and all my posts were removed too.
I appreciate that you listed the food served, and pointed out that it wasn't worth 500 pesos at all. That was basically the argument I was presenting, but the arrogant guys from that restaurant had the gall to reply by saying that it was worth 500 pesos.
Now, in reply to your wall post, they are saying that they are victims of Metro Deal? What the heck?
Thanks for pointing out that the food wasn't eat all you can, as promised in the deal. That is an even bigger sin, because they themselves said in their facebook wall, and I quote:
"Kainan sa Balanghay: We are a small Dampa
restaurant that can accommodate around 50
people in one sitting. The buffet is eat-all-
you-can. There is enough food for everyone."
Obviously they are lying again.
Anyway, the more people post about this, the better. Our only power now is to not bring our money back to that restaurant. We've been fooled once. Let us not be fooled again.
im glad the admin didn't delete your post.they did mine!!i got really irked because they wouldn't give a straight answer as to what dishes they serve and when they finally did, the admin posted "like baked mussels"..huh?im gonna travel from caloocan to macapagal and they will entice me with baked mussels?maybe they should change their profile pic from lobster to mussels.:-D bad taste for deleting my post...i had better dining experience with alba,little asia, sumosam and other deals.they are true to their word...my two thumbs down for kainan sa balanghay even if i haven't used my vouchers yet...--from the person who got deleted from kainan sa balanghay's page..i hope you get to read this...you know who i am;-)
2 thumbs up for you ms flores.im REALLY glad you were there :-D i got my revenge from you.:-)thanks
sorry cant help but add this, the food they serve are CANTEEN food.im not even interested in using the 4 vouchers i have bought...abuloy ko nln yun sa pagkamatay ng business nila....get your act together...salvage your esteem.give the people their money's worth!!!!
Yung offer sa Kainan sa Balanghay, panloloko ng tao yun. Walang Kwenta, sayang lang ang pera. Buffet pero tinatakal yung food sa plate? parang catering. International buffet? kalokohan, kahit isa dun sa picture sa ads nila sa Metrodeal, wala akong nakita. Worst place for your money. Puro sad faces makikita mo sa mga kumakain, or medyo natatawa kasi, nabiktima sila ng kainan na ito.
we used our vouchers last sunday we were there at 7pm no food no everything, they kept on saying that the dinner buffet is between 5-7pm and no refills after 7 if i didnt get upset and scolded them off they would not refill it,. no dessert unfortunately. i would rather spend my 200 pesos somewhere else i was served carinderia food! even the tahong looked spoiled. what a let down
Is it true that some people got hospitalized? The only positive comments on their Facebook page were left by the owner's friends.
I also bought vouchers from Metrodeal for Balanghay's "eat-all-you-can." I called them up a few days ago, and the personnel that I spoke with said that it's actually only P300, not P500.
I am also disappointed not just with Balanghay, but also with Metrodeal, 'coz they're supposed to ensure the credibility of the deals that they make with these kinds of restos, or any other business establishments.

this was the most disappointing and disgusting buffet that we ever experienced! pagdating namin, isnabera na ung mga staff nila. to think na may ksama akong batang maliit. kami pa ung nagtanong kung san pwede umupo. sabi ng staff " kahit san". nagulat kami nung makita namin ung macaroni, adobong manok , calamares at clam chowder daw. nagtanong kami "yan lang?" . di kami sinagot ng waiter nila. i guess sanay na sila sa scam nila. wala kaming choice so we tried the food. ayun! jackpot, ang saaaaarraaaaaap! ang sarap itapon ung pagkain nila. masuka suka kami kasi sana sa carinderia nalang kami kumain, mas nag enjoy pa kami. di naman kami nag eexpect na mala VIKING's na buffet, pero juice ko naman, basahin nyo ung ad nyo sa metrodeal at sa pagkain na inooffer nyo! mahiya naman kayo. kung may mag file ng kaso dito, sasama ako! pano nyo nasisikmura yan? sabagay thinking about your food, matibay talaga sikmura nyo! in short, nasira ang gabi naming pamilya. at pati ng mga pamilyang andun na kasabay namin at nagreklamo sa management na mukhang wala ding masabi. may karma kainan sa balanghay, at nalalasahan ko na malapit na yon.......bwahahahahahaha
Hi people... I bought 21 vouchers for my son's birth day because of the advertisement in Metrodeal. Sabi ko pa "Wow Jackpot ako very cheap". I tried using 3 vouchers to check the environment and the food.. My gosh!!! the place smells like kanal the food that they served chicken curry, kuhol, lettuce w/ tomato, ginataan, maki using ordinary rice w/small cram meat and fish fillet. I really felt bad because i bought 21 vouchers. I rather eat the Hotta rice in 7-eleven. Their Fud Sucks... We should not trust Metro Deal!!!
I bought 5 vouchers, we were thinking of having a family dinner coz my father just got back from Kuwait. The place was a "MESS" Literally... Sana pla ung 1000 pinamalangke na lng at nagluto sa bahay... We got there 0730pm and there's no more food. It sucks kasi pinagmumuka nilang patay gutom ung mga tao... There was a guy holding a small tray of shrimps (mal-nutritioned shrimps)he was about to it place on the buffet table outside pero bago pa sha makarating sa table ubos na ung food! They have this "Delaying strategy" pra malipasan na ng gutom ung mga tao... Dna kami nakipag agawan we just left and went to the nearest videoke...
Gusto ko nga ireklamo ito eh! Hindi ko lang alam kung saan at kung paano irereklamo ito as in report. Nilagay ko sa facebook ko BEWARE OF KAINAN SA BALANGHAY! Dapat sa kanila i-ambush! Mas masarap pa pagkain ng Carinderia. Tapos yung mixed vegetables masebo yung butter.
I already told my boyfriend NOT TO AVAIL A VOUCHER FROM METRODEAL! Once is enough.
thanks guys for your tips. now i'm in a dilemma on whether to still go there and use our vouchers which will be expiring on the 10th already. we're from qc pa naman.
