half saints

i was excited to try this place, and it lived up to the hype! the food is sophisticated and intelligently made, and they are enough to satisfy the hungriest stomachs. service was quick, and servers were even considerate enough to ask if we were comfortable with consuming meat. definitely would go back again!

five stars for this creative taste experience. food was novel- in a sense that the tastes were curated to please the palate. for instance, nothing was special with the crispy pork, but when combined with cream cheese and some seaweed, it was strangely delicious. i would liken the resto to an art exhibit, a display of different tastes on a plate

still one of our favorite places in the scout area. half saints is a great place to go to for a meal, merienda, or coffee. for this visit, we went for a quick snack and coffee. the great balls of fire come with some flair, torching the risotto balls table-side. really good snack, also pretty spicy. the chocolate tart is one of our favorite desserts - make sure to try it when you visit. instead of ordering my usual drink, i tried the tres leches cheese latte which pretty much tasted like liquid dessert. ambiance is great, service is fast. make sure to try it if you find yourself in the area.

damn good place.
nothing to write anymore but comment has to be long. unique food. great ambiance. clean place. good staff. nice owner. overall great

place looked bigger in photos but the ambiance looked unique and cozy. the food tasted great, more nori was needed though in proportion with the teriyaki chicharon. my companion and i had a queasy stomach after so maybe the restaurant needs to change their service water.

the menu is pretty unique. it is a fusion of various cuisines which particularly satisfied my pallette. the ambiance of the place is warm and cozy which is good if you want to enjoy a meal and just talk. the servers are also attentive and prompt.

half saints is undoubtedly one of my favorite restaurants in tomas morato. their dishes are well thought of and well executed. the chicharron teriyaki appetizer and camiling’s chicharron risotto are both winners but i won’t order the two at the same time as they’re both bagnet dishes. their pizzas are also quite interesting as the unique crust texture resembles more the buttery and flaky croissant than the regular doughy bread. the interiors also look clean and modern while there’s ample parking outside and at the basement of the establishment.

a tiny place near hi-top q.ave, half saints has delivered on my expectations!

saw this place at zomato when looking for a place where to have dinner - and just our luck, we got the last table when we got there.

true to the other reviews, the chicharon teriyaki is unique! it hits all the spots with the eccentric partnering of teriyaki, cheese, and seaweed. truly a must try!

the chicken con pollo was good! my boyfriend said this is much better than the one he had in macau. crispy edges, creamy rice, and soft chicken ( no knives needed!) - it was so flavorful! chicken wasn't overcooked, and the rice had contrasting textures of soft and crispy, while the sauce was seasoned well. a well deserved hi-five!

the best selling shiitake, goats cheese, and balsamic vinegar pizza is a combination not many people would think would go well together. this dish proves it can! crispy, sweet, creamy, savory, and salty - the combinations and textures make this dish worth of being called a best seller!

our desserts, tiramisu and 64% dark chocolate tart - were equally good as the savory dishes. as a fan of dark chocolate, i absolutely adored the chocolate tart sweet at first, with the bitterness slowly creeping up. add in a sprinkle of salt, and it boosts the sweetness up a notch! (bf had the tiramisu. he said it was delicious. a man of a few words, but honest words)

we commend the head chef, kitchen and bar staff, as well as the servers! food, ambiance, and service was great. will definitely be coming back here and letting others know that half saints serve up great food!

happy eating!

a cozy cafe for weekend brunch. service is good and the food is superb and creative.

tres leches hot coffee and their signature iced tea made excellent beverages.

humshuka - hummus with shakshuka with eggs - is great to share with nacho chips. arroz con pollo is a tasty paella with tender and tasty chicken.

the 64% datk chocolate tart is a delicious way to end your meal!

my girls and i met here for dinner and drinks. we ordered the chicharon teriyaki, which had slices of crispy chicharon in teriyaki sauce that you wrap in nori with cream cheese. a must try! their all cheese puff pastry pizza and dark chocolate tarts were also winners. but the lasagna, tuna, and nachos dipped in hummus were just ok. their space was also small and with a big crowd, the noise level can become overwhelming (which the tita in me had a hard time with). they also close at 10pm which was pretty early for friday night so we had to move for coffee elsewhere. but i’m willing to go back to taste what else is on the menu.

small quaint place, perfect for small get-togethers or date nights. i really loved how the crew took the time to explain the dishes since it was our first time to eat here (and the menu can be a bit overwhelming😂).

had their chicharon teriyaki (weird combo on paper but explodes in your mouth!), arroz con pollo (the besttttt) and the cheese pizza (cannot imagine how pizza can get so much better). definitely recommending this resto and definitely coming back!

half saints was a delightful surprise. went there yesterday for dinner and had the following:

chicharron teriyaki - simple yet the combination of flavors fits well

shiitake goat cheese pizza - a must try, quality of the pizza itself was really good plus they have their unique "puff" crust. imagine pizza with thin croissant as the crust .

arroz con pollo - rather than a strict paella, the consistency of the rice is between a risotto and a paella. has balanced curry flavor to it that i think even non-curry lovers would like

salmon bento - didn't get to try this personally but feedback i received was that it was good

cheese & paprika tart - a nice twist on your classic cheese tart since it has a hint of savory taste

overall, really enjoyed our visit and will be coming back to try their other dishes.

good food! :)
but hard to get a parking.
all occupied by frontrow.
guard will prioritize the frontrow group than people who will go and eat at the outlets at that building.
