Manila Bay Cuisine
Inside Manila Bay Cuisine
Manila Bay Cuisine is a straightforward Filipino restaurant located inside the Serramonte Center’s food court in Daly City—a spot that feels like a practical go-to for anyone looking for a quick, no-fuss taste of home-style Filipino cooking. The setup leans into a traditional "carenderia" style, where the dishes are displayed upfront, letting you point at whatever catches your eye, which adds a bit of casual familiarity reminiscent of local eateries back in the Philippines.
People often stop by here while running errands or, as one regular noted, to grab something comforting while waiting nearby—for example, during a car charge—making this a convenient, accessible choice rather than a destination for a sit-down meal. The atmosphere is straightforward and unpretentious, served up by friendly staff who are ready to answer questions and recommend dishes if needed.
Popular items like garlic rice come up frequently, and favorites like sisig—a sharp, tangy blend of pork jowl, belly, and ears—are prepared with traditional touches including calamansi and chili peppers, staying true to Filipino flavor profiles. Lighter options like fish soups reflect regional tastes, balancing richness with bright, sour ginger broths.
While it isn’t a place for a leisurely dinner or a special night out, it’s a solid pick for locals craving quick, authentic Filipino flavors in a casual mall setting. Expect a steady flow of visitors during the late morning opening hours and lunchtime rush, especially those familiar with Filipino cooking or newcomers eager to sample traditional dishes without pretense.
