A great place for celebrations – the dishes are simple and straightforward yet perfectly catches the Filipino taste.
My family has already eaten here twice, first on my birthday, then again on my parents’ anniversary. The fact that Ombu is located in a hotel will make you think that their prices are expensive, but they aren’t. They’re actually quite affordable – a fact that surprised me and my family during our first time here. Ombu Restaurant is a modern Filipino restaurant done in good taste; its black and white interiors go well with Sequioa Hotel's overall classy vibe.
