In town for a few days from Cavite and the 4 of us liked the look of Jems as we drove past. Had a very warm welcome and loved the atmosphere and menu. Food was excellent and my bangus a la pobre was excellent - very meaty and tasty. The tofu with kangkong side dish was also fantastic, as was my creamy leche flan. My companions were also very impressed with their meals. I can highly recommend the green mango shake. We decided to go back the next night as it was so good, but (sad face) they were closed for a private event. Next time we will book!!

Me and my family came visit the restaurant and we could not be happier with all the food we ordered! Staff and owner are super nice! Food was amazingly good. The seafood cajun, crispy dinakdakan, lumpiang gulay, pansit guisado and binagoongang liempo are definitely a must try!! This restaurant will be the first restaurant I would go to the next time I visit the Philippines!! Chef Ryan and Johara are amazing people!! More Blessings guys!! You guys did a very good job in your restaurant .

Everything we ordered was delicious - Crispy Pork Kare-Kare, Calamares, Flavored Chicken Wings, and their version of Papaitan (I forgot the name of the dish). We were stuffed and happy. We sat down for a party of three. I called in advance to order and they accomodated our request. The servers are friendly and the interior is bright and vibrant. Splitting the bill, price costs about 280 PHP per person. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you happen to stay within the area.
