    Absolutely the worst meal I have had in the Philippines. The roast beef was that chewy that I could not eat it Who puts potato chips on a roast meal? Will not be coming back ever

    Classy inside, good service, good internet and great food! Special batchoy is only served 2PM-5PM so plan ahead. The Japanese restaurant next door has a cross restaurant agreement so you can order food from them in 21 and vice versa.

    I think when you’re in Bacolod this place is a must (Batchoy and Filipino fusion dishes) . But sometimes they’re inconsistent with their dishes and even their rice now is not good. 21 , please use a good quality rice.

    Beware of uncooked chicken skewers. Was shocked to find last piece mostly uncooked (see pic). Glad feel ok after eating other pieces. Although they were bland and chicken pieces looked processed with fillers. Teriyaki sauce was bad. Waiter recommended skewers over other dishes I asked about. At least waiter asked manager to remove this dish from bill and gave chocolate cake free as a gesture. Glad cake was good. Pasta dish (see pic) was not good either. Shame quality of food is not better as restaurant appears to be nicely decorated and wait staff attentive.

    One of the OG restaurants in Bacolod. Kinda pricey but they offer good quality food and service. My fave was their 21 Fried chicken and but this time, we tried their Chicken Teriyaki Skewers, Lechon Kawali, Honey glazed chicken, and Tinola. Some were good for sharing and some were only good for one person. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our Mother’s day celebration there. They also gave our mother a free apron and mini cake.

    Seriously? Mandarin salad with chicken. But the chicken is only 3 small cubes of chicken for 210php! Seriously. Tsk tsk. Super not worth it!

    Fully air conditioned place. Came to try the Batchoy — it did not disappoint. There was unique texture + the crunchy bits added ooomph! I got the regular with egg since the special with Bone Marrow was out of stock already. This very much satisfied my batchoy craving. Their tartufata pasta was also surprisingly yummy. Pasta was aldente. Flavor was on point. Chicken Dinuguan w/puto was flavorful. The acidity was well balanced. This mirienda menu is worth going back to. Got to taste the sizzling boneless chicken was also tasteful..the dishes make you want to come back and try all the other options. No wonder the place was packed. Service - 5/5 Flavour - 5/5 Must try when in Bacolod. Will definitely recommend.

    Best batchoy ever. You can order extra broth, if you ran out of it. Portions are enough for one person, but might overwhelm a few. :) Cozy place. Courteous staff. 😍

    A must try batchoy; the best one I've ever had. The staff were so attentive and very accomodating. Great service! The ambiance is also on par with their service and I loved the place so much.

  • 4/5 JP R. 5 years ago on Google
    This place is popular for it's good Batchoy. The place is classy with a wide selection of food on the menu. Of course, I ordered Batchoy since I'm a noodle guy. The Batchoy was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Anyway, at least I got to try it. 😊

  • 5/5 Cosmic G. 6 years ago on Google
    This has become one of my favorite restaurants in Bacolod city. Adobo flakes (instructed chef to cook it crispy) was very delicious. 21 batchoy soup is their signature dish must try. Also had the pork chop ala Bicol express! Food is priced very reasonable for the quality your getting.

  • 3/5 Dennis L. 2 years ago on Google
    Got curious with the pork chop ala bicol express. Good concept but the pork was rubbery. Did not enjoy it. I should have ordered the batchoy. Service was excellent though

  • 5/5 Donny Gochuico (. 5 months ago on Google
    Great batchoy with toasted bread for snacks

  • 4/5 Paulo Loreto L. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is bit overpriced but the Bicol-style porkchop is a standout.

  • 5/5 Mariejo C. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered Batchoy which is our all time favorite. And their Fried Isol with gravy is also good. Other food we order sometimes are: Hamburger Oriental Salad Chicken Terriyaki Skewers with Misono Rice Spare Ribs with Java Rice & a side of Tobacco Onion which is my favorite. The Roast Beef Sandwich was really good but has been removed from their menu. AND.....their Moist Chocolate Cake is the best for dessert.

  • 5/5 Joe H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place Rocks!! Great atmosphere(especially compared to its competition), and a 7oz Steak Tenderloin for 470 pesos ($7US). If you are American and not really feeling the Philippine Food scene, you should check this place out!

  • 5/5 Joseph B. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Gino J. 7 months ago on Google
    Good food, good service, ever since. Their batchoy is and has always been the number one favorite of all time. Great job in keeping the quality the same throughout the years. Would recommend the batchoy with egg and add a side of garlic toast for merienda. Pepper steak for lunch or dinner with the moist chocolate cake.

  • 5/5 Cohlina E. 7 months ago on Google
    Added this place to our itenerary because of Chel Diokno. Their hearty batchoy is perfect for merienda.

    When it's raining and the weather is cold 21's Batchoy is the best in town....

  • 5/5 Mommy Sigrid: Lovingly M. 5 years ago on Google
    21 Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Bacolod serving comfort dishes. They are very good in ala carte and buffet. They have been serving Bacolodnons for decades and for good reason--food and service don't waver. One of my favorites for functions.

  • 5/5 Enrico Paolo M. 4 years ago on Google
    The Blue Marlin Steak was delicious yet affordable. This fine dining restaurant has a nice ambience.

  • 4/5 Neverland L. 4 years ago on Google
    BAR 21--- ah the memories. This restaurant used to be a major disco bar in the 90s but now the Aranetas and Gamboas reinvented the bar and made it into a fine dining restaurant. Good move boyz. This place is a must try if your in Bacolod. Its a blending of European American cuisine, fused with filipino and Chinese tastes. Try the famous Bar 21 -Batchoy. A hearty soup served with a mix of liver and bone marrow. Its a total negrenses culinary experience.

  • 5/5 Ken E. 5 years ago on Google
    the yummiest Batchoy in all of Bacolod..generous serving too. The broth is very clean yet very complicated with many layers of flavor. I tried their liver pate and it is good, too. perfectly foils the fatty utok (bone marrow) that’s swimming in the broth. Impeccable service, too. A must try when in Bacolod!

  • 4/5 Nikki B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very classy place with good service. Ordered the crispy kare kare and the toastd ravioli, both were delicious. Quite pricey but worth it for the taste and the overall dining experience. Great place for group dining and classic Filipino comfort dishes

  • 4/5 Lucky D. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice place, good atmosphere, food was great 👌

  • 5/5 Chris R. 4 years ago on Google
    Regular Batchoy is meat only. Special has added liver in strips. Souper has all of that + bone marrow. Go for super!

  • 3/5 Ramon K. 4 years ago on Google
    The batchoy is still the best even better than Iloilo's. Could have given them better rating but for the service. Missed the days when the waiters know you personally. Service needs to improve! After a month, since my last review, the service has'nt improve.It's a pity because their food is quite good.

  • 5/5 Benjamin C. 4 years ago on Google
    The Batchoy and Molo were fantastic!

  • 1/5 Kashka G. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is okay but the serving time is so slow and the waiters are so rude. It took 30 minutes to get our order out.

  • 1/5 RG T. 4 years ago on Google
    10 Nov 2019, Sunday lunch with family. I'm on vacation from outside the country and the last time I dined here was in April 2018, just last year. It's a pity to see that this restaurant is deteriorating fast. Today, (white?) tablecloths were visibly wrinkly, with holes, and dirt! Seriously?! The Restaurant in-charge should be sacked for allowing this. Furniture badly needs upgrading. KBL dish was bland and served in a huge bowl to show it's a huge serving, but it's basically just soup and 4 - 6 tiny pieces of pork. Too many staff but service was slow. This will definitely be the last time. 21 Restaurant used to be one of Bacolod's pride.

  • 5/5 Robert Julian R. 4 years ago on Google
    One the best place to eat while in Bacolod. Try their batchoy and Pancit Molo. It is almost a fine dining restaurant.

  • 5/5 aireekuh 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best places to eat at while in the city. Their batchoy is a must try as also the tenderloin steak — actually, most of the items are nice to order. Chocolate cake is amazing and is served warm which I absolutely love. Staffs are nice and attentive. I love coming back here.

  • 5/5 Peter T. 4 years ago on Google
    Accomodating even for walk in customer like us, but a little bit longer when waiting for the food but its worth waiting. Namit gd ya....
