Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Delicious seafood kare kare

Jan 2020 • friends

This place is really good value, and the venue has a quite nice atmosphere. The seafood kare kare was delicious. The fruit shakes seemed to have sugar in them, so make sure you ask for them without. Waiters were really nice too.

Good for the 'gram

Feb 2020 • solo

Went to the place to have my breakfast before heading to Port Barton. It's located near San Jose terminal so I decided to stop by. I really liked the ambiance of the place, very "instagrammable." I also had a memorable experience of learning common sign languages. Their breakfast buffet was delicious, not the out of the ordinary kind of delicious, but the homey kind. The only thing I wish could be better is the food choices for their buffet. When I went there were mostly seafoods. The only pork available was tocino.

Dry Food But With A Heart 💛💛

Nov 2022 • couples

I love the ambiance of the restaurant spacious. Good taste for interior, so much design more paintings, love the garden much space for parking your car. Thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 for the management for helping and giving a chance to work and giving experience for the PWDs specially the (mute community) The service is quite good and satisfying attentive and polite. 😌😌 Ka Inato is one of signature restaurant of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan PH however Its sad that the restaurant did not maintained their consistency in terms of the taste, texture and the genuinely of their signature dish ( Inasal) The checkin is too dry over cooked outside cold in the inside, too dry, the sauce is too dull it doesn’t taste good. The rice is sticky like you need a sugar to become a desert. I ordered a bukó shake too sweet the even the garnished did not match to the fruit, you know if you order a manggo shake ofcourse you will get for the garnished a slice of manggo, but in Ka Inato in different they put a slice of yellow watermelon. Then my partner ordered a green manggo 5/10 too much water but the hot calamansi is good because I know its fresh squeeze. Over all it is in between of good because of the service and the helping hand of the management. Bad because of the lck of consistency of food. I hope the Ka Inato will working out the genuinely of their food specially the signature dish. Thank you.

Extensive Local Cuisine Choices

Sept 2024 • friends

Had a good dinner with our group . It was an outdoor seating set up but it was not humid since we are dealing with the rainy atmosphere during this time. I thought the choices was good and the menu in itself was quite extensive. Nice decors , photo ops scenes , souvenir shop and musical background complete the experience.

Best Kinilaw in Philippines

May 2024 • family

This spot is perfect with the meals. Service was great and attentive. Only drawback is a cat walking around dining area. Grosses me out, but he didn't come to my table. All be said place is a must visit.

Good Food, Poor Experience

May 2023 • friends

There's a lot to like in Ka Inato. The place is vibrant, spacious, food is GREAT (we ordered the chicken skin, chicken barbecue, butter shrimp and steamed veg with bagoong Balayan. Sadly, there were some vagrants that would come in and out of the place, selling and stealing. Yes, stealing. A group of kids would go in one by one and steal cutlery, glasses. etc. While they were caught at some point, it still made me feel unsafe in the space and unlikely to return.

Spicy and flies

July 2022 • family

When they say that the Inato chicken is spicy, believe it coz it really is! Food is okay but what is really memorable is the amount of flies pestering us as we tried to eat. It was not a good experience.

Sad

Feb 2020 • family

Ka Inato used to be the best deal in Puerto. Great food! Now they have increased prices by 20% and reduced the size of servings. Time to move on.

Good Food with a Social Dimension

Dec 2019 • none

We arrived in Palawan on an a very early morning flight and went to Ka Inato for breakfast. The food on offer in the breakfast buffet was very good indeed and the staff efficient and very cheerful. Ka Inato employs 50% deaf/deaf mute staff which is commendable and worthy of support in its own right, Overall, we were very satisfied with our breakfast at a very reasonable price. We also ate the in the evening and the a la carte menu was just as good.
