The Cheese Steak Shop - Makati

Animated mats are quite unique plus they also have a food truck! you can never go wrong with the classic philly cheesesteak. if you want to be sinful add some bacon! haha then pair it with cajun fries and a soda.

Quick tip: This is a great place to outfit a Superbowl party for cheap. The Good I'm not from Philly but I've been there a ton of times, eaten out of the best food trucks and all that. This is not that kind of cheese steak, this is more of a west coast diner style cheese steak. That said this is, by far, the best cheese steak in the Philippines. I know that is not saying much, but its still really good for this country.  For watching sports with a beer, I really like and recommend the nachos in this restaurant. No other nachos I've had in the Philippines uses decent quality beef at this price point. However, you need to add  some salsa, sour cream and guacamole yourself, so best for take out/delivery. Their Italian hoagie is really good. Premium imported meats in great quality, actually tastes like a sub I might pickup at a corner deli when I lived in Manhattan. If my day is going to be crazy, I sometime pick one up to stash in my office ref to lunch while I work. Price is really good here, bordering on cheap. For imported US meat cheese steaks, other places are charging double for lesser quality/quantity. Most of their menu items, aside from fries and a couple other items, I consider cheap or fair for the quality. Not all, but most. The Neutral I went to college in Ithaca and I've lived where its grey. I know and have gone around Western NY, I've eaten Garbage Plates, been to many a Bills game in the tundra so I know what the best world standard Buffalo Wings taste like. The Buffalo wings here are not great. They are more like the wings you get in Northern California. They are passable but we've got much better wings here (finally!) However, the wings are cheap comparatively, so I still buy them sometimes when I don't need great wings.  The Not so Good The meat ball sub is really disappointing. When I ordered it I was expecting a normal sauce and mozzarella sub. Instead I got some weird thing made of dry meatballs, drenched in yellow cheese sauce in a hard roll. WTH is that? The parking here is terrible. If you have any kind of large SUV and no driver, just skip this place. Even a mid sized SUV is a very tight fit. Its better on the rare times their food trucks are out, but most of the time this parking lot is the worst in Makati.

In an attempt to use up my remaining gift certificates, I finally decided and took the time to visit The Cheese Steak Shop in Amorsolo St., they used to be in an accessible location in Pasay Road, but transferred in Amorsolo. Right smack in before the Skyway offramp. Parking is at the back. In other words, sasadyain mo talaga bago ka makakain. Unless your living in the area. Tried their Classic Cheese Steak with a side of fries. The bread was crusty, enough to soak up the juices of the beef. It is generously topped with cheese and jalapenos. Ordered the biggest size and shared it with the parents. They liked it very much. The only downside is how pricey their sandwiches are. They do offer cheaper rice meals with their beef and cheese for those budget conscious office workers in the area. Their dining area is spacious with lots to look at (vinyl records, board games, etc.). Recommended but be warned of difficulty in parking. If by chance you catch them in their various foodtruck outings then try it if budget permits.
