OPPA Kitchen

"After 10 days with 10 dinners at 10 restaurants in El Nido, this was our second favourite place, especially considering the taste/price ratio. We tried two types of tacos and nachos along with ice tea. All really good and at a totally fair price. Unlike some other places in El Nido, this place deserves high marks."

"Tuna tacos - extremely good. The sauce packed a great punch and this was my favourite by far. Bulgogi cheesesteak - my next favourite. Succulent beef, soft bread - excellent. Shawarma bowl - nice flavour but far too much rice compared to sauce/salad/meat. Underwhelming. Bokkeum Noodle - solid dish. Won’t blow you away but nice flavour. Overall - a very nice lunch. On the pricier side for quite small dishes but it’s in the middle of town so expected."

"Great place! Highly recommended! Oppa isn’t big but has all it needs: an open well organised kitchen where the staff works at a high pace, delicious food full with flavour that is also served at a good pace, a busy but fun vibe (the place is tiny so you sit next to other people which adds to the vibe that I liked). Ate the kimchi tofu soup which was packed with flavour, so good. You feel the staff’s passion for food and respect for their workplace and colleagues and it’s fun to see them enjoy themselves. Would definitely go back!"

"We were warmly welcomed by a lovely lady who provided exceptional customer service. We ordered Cheese ramyum, Bulgogi shawarma, chicken Dakgalbi, Tofu jeon, Calamansi honey ice tea, and Yakult lemonade. Every dish was incredibly delicious, and we can't wait to come back and try more when we're in El Nido again. Although it's tiny, the atmosphere is super inviting. Just be aware that you might need to wait around 15 minutes for a table for four. Use this time to check out the menu, and as soon as you're seated, order right away to help the staff and get your food faster."

"This was the best food we had in Phillipines so far absolutelly recommended!! we had tuna tacos and we had to order another portion haha. Usually its pretty busy, but they serve the food super fast so it always clears out - worth the wait!!"

"We stayed in El Nido for two days, and we ended up visiting this restaurant both days because it was simply impossible to stay away! Every dish we tried was even more delicious than the one before. You could truly feel the positive energy of the staff!!!their warmth and enthusiasm translated directly into the food and the overall experience. Everything from the flavors to the atmosphere was absolutely outstanding. A genuinely exceptional dining experience!!!!!"

"Probably the highest-rated tuna/poke spot in Palawan. Seating is limited, but we went during off-peak hours and got a spot right away. We ordered the Tuna Steak Taco, it was delicious! Such a nice experience sitting at the bar and watching them prep your food right in front of you."
