Agos - Washington

I hate the feeling when I read bad reviews that are given unfairly. It makes you wonder if you ate at the same restaurant they did. Have you ever seen reviews coming from those who dined on an extremely high-volume day like holidays/days with major events/soft openings? Of course you'd have to expect that it would be a frenzy! Anyway, as for my experience, I absolutely loved this restaurant! Sure the service wasn't 5-star hotel levels but why set your expectations so high? What stole the limelight was the food. We got the Filipino Paella (try it), Roast Beef (MUST try), oysters (huge and fresh), sizzling squid (it was OK), Almondigas (family loved it), and the main star of our table: Cheesy Tortang Talong which came to the table looking like a very expensive Lasagna dish. The twist just worked amazingly well. It's not a low-budget place, but it's not expensive either. I felt that I got my money's worth. The place is also IG-ready for the picture crazy folks like me. One thing I'd like to note to make this a fair review is the the service was a little lacking that day. The manager was very apologetic that they had some staff go absent but I'm not taking it against them because hey, it happens! Overall my family had a good time, so for me that's all that matters. I highly recommend Agos!

Went here with our Aussie boss who was craving for Filipino food. Awesome food choices, we had a hard time finalising our orders lol. The price for the dishes are reasonable, except for the fruit shakes! One of our companions even exclaimed that her green mango shake is kinda bland. Anyway, the food was delish we were just surprised to see half a body of a baby pig on our table for their bestselling crispy pata (didn't get the name of the dish because the server mumbles whenever she says it . I'd go back to this place to treat our balikbayan relatives ;

So the moment that Chef Tattung announced that he is having a resto at MOA, 'coz I needed to work at MOA for like 3 weeks) I decided to treat my family here. So we had Paella, Grilled Liempo, Seafood Soup with a Tomato Base, Chicken with a Dark Chocolate Sauce and Sizzling Beef. And I actually loved every dish. Believe it or not, we got those for less than 2,000 pesos. WHAT A STEAL RIGHT? Plus, we saw Chef Tattung. He is the most kind chef I ever met, he asked our opinions and he even offered to give a comment card. THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR FIRST DIBS SPECIAL AGOS MOA!

I wanted to try something different for my birthday celebration so we decided to try Agos. The place felt like an old american diner interiors, and it was nice for a date or a family lunch or dinner. We ordered paella negra, which is like the classic paella but the rice was blackened with squid ink topped with mahi-mahi fillet, calamari, clams, mussels and quail eggs. It said it had tinapa flakes but I don't remember tasting it. It had a little bit of mayo though but it went well with the dish when squeezed with lemon. Our side dish was baked aklan oysters with creamy cheese on top of it. Overall even though we only had 2 dishes, our tummies were satisfied. Ambience: 4 Food: 4.5 Service: 4

Paella was flavoursome! Best I've ever tasted so far. Binagoongan not that good. Service was good as well. Place was a little small especially for group bookings.
