Food: Mouthwatering meals, less variety

Phoholic certainly doesn't skimp on flavor or quantity - customers rave about the satisfying taste and generous portions. However, the restaurant fumbles in the realm of variety and creativity; with a minimalistic menu, diners are left yearning for more options. It's a lackluster performance, marred by reports of less-than-fresh seafood.

  • Large Portions

    Most reviews highlight very generous portion sizes and ample meat.

  • Low Quality

    Seafood spoiled, smelled fishy, disgusting, and completely inedible.

Vibe: Unsettling din amid unsightly views

Don't expect a quiet, Instagram-able evening at Phoholic. The chaotic and uncomfortable ambiance are coupled with disquietingly loud jazz music and intrusive views of the grimy exterior. It's not the place for a tranquil date night or an expansive choice of drinks.

  • Bad Buzz

    Dingy, unappealing, and odd restaurant with grimy seating and kitchen areas.

Perks: Noisy children, dismal parking

Diners at Phoholic might find themselves wading through jarring noises, courtesy of screaming children and loud music, while trying to find a parking spot in the overcrowded lot. Awkward outdoor seating and long waits for groups further add to the inconvenience. On the bright side, families with young children are well-catered to with high chairs, dedicated kids' menus, and free meals.

  • Great For Kids

    High chairs, kids menu, and free meals highly appreciated by parents.

  • Bad Service

    Staff was rude, inattentive, and the ambiance lacking.
