Popular buffet restaurant, that also offers a la carte, serving a variety of Filipino and Filipino-international food from sushi, teppanyaki, stews, stir fries, rice, noodles, and desserts. The food quality is so-so (in particular, the sushi and teppanyaki is like a cheap knock-off, really not even close to what you would expect from a Japanese restaurant), but for the price is quite reasonable for all you can eat.Theres quite extensive indoor dining sections including a decent sized private room which would be good for parties or functions, and al fresco areas in the cooler months. You generally cant book, so in busier times (and they do get busy for the buffet) there may be a bit of a wait to get a table.Service is good and helpful, plates are efficiently cleared and staff seemed to always be monitoring when you were approaching the buffet stations to assist in serving you.Takeaway and delivery is also available with the a la carte menu, and parking is available through RTA street parking. The dine-in buffet seems to be the most popular though, and despite the average quality remains a good choice for a cheap all you can eat Asian meal with a lot of variety.

Food cant be judged & Food thats served with love is a must try 😋I just loved #filipinofood I recently tried @hotpalayokrestaurantkarama 😍 They serve authentic #filipinocuisine & #panasiancuisine & I definitely recommend everyone to give a try 😊Half of the things are mostly in our head about trying different cuisine but I must say unless you dont try you wouldnt know it 🤷🏻‍♀️They have widespread buffet & also #livecooking station they make it fresh, they also have themed nights so do check out ❤ Their #sushi was too good.. Loved it ❤I loved Isaw & other Barbecue things & also their authentic desserts 😍All the food was fresh, the service was outstanding & most importantly the price is reasonable for the Widespread food they have.Special mention to their #icetea as they prepare fresh 😋Stay tuned for a full video review soon 😊 #lavrecommendsGive a try & Im sure you would love it too #breakingstereotypes 😁

A real food haven for Kabayans with very affordable price for buffet with different specials daily.Situated near Karama Metro Station. Perfect for any occassion, with compliment cupcake with candle and a birthday greeting music for Birthday Celebrant.

We found a lot of Asian food selection, not only Philippines even tho originally this restaurant is Philippiness restaurant. Every staff is very attentive and helpful. My favorite is the selection of skewers like street food.thank you for cooking our Filipino foods the delicious that they should be cooked,please keep up the good work too.

Total food and service experience is well. As per them, First come first serve basis, no reservations. i love their mini lecheflan-macaroon dessert.

Simple and great cant beat that

Good service but the food does not taste like before 😕

Food was great. Space was generous.Id say its worth your pay (and a reasonable price at that)Could have been 5☆ if the AC was working perfectly.

The friendliest staff are here!!! Super welcoming and knows really a how to take care of their customers!!!!! I love love love them so much!!! Can’t express how kind and thoughtful the people working in here!!! ❤️🥺The place is clean, presentation of the food is quite a bit saggy but decent in anyway.I was excited to eat here since I was really craving for a filipino buffet but went 📉 the food is not fresh! And the food tastes like from a day before.I don’t have hate in these restaurant, I live the people here but I’m just making honest review.I gave 3 star only because of the kind staff... please fix your food. They doesn’t taste as the one is Hot Palayok Philippines 🇵🇭.Overall:Food: 3/10Ambiance: 6/10Service: 10/10Staffs: 10/10Location: 7/10

I placed my order on noon app food unfortunately, my first order was never delivered (as per agent that I spoke nothing has to be done)and need to place new one. Finally it was arrived after waiting for 3 hours. Good thing it was worth the wait Great portion and taste.

Food are so delicious. The staff are friendly and approachable for sure we will come back again 👍

Buffet menu is big but taste is okay. Price is slightly high compared to food quality. Dining is comfortable and service is good.

Apart from Kare-Kare, the other food today were sub-standard. To my dismay, Chicken Isaw was unavailable too. Food taste is inconsistent based from my previous visits. Only Kare-Kare remains consistently acceptable.

Waited for more than 1 hour! They dont know how to manage crowd! Changed setting of tables most for big group! Very disappointed!

With just 30 dh u can eat whatever on the menu thats for lunch but for dinner it will be 60 dh the earlier u come the fresh the food is.

Hot palayok is always a fun place to hang out and have a good meal with friends.Will go back for occasions and will recommend to others.

} Like if you Agree {A Filipina food Joint,mostly well known for their wide buffet spread, the À la Carte menu is Just as filling and Good.The food and hospitality theres is really amazing.Warm greetings and a respectful staff.This is my second trip here after being introduced to the place by my cousin. Now most people dont try new places, so its understandable if someone saw an Indian in a Filipina restaurant 😅😋.But hey love the place, love the decor, and definitely love the food. Kudos in particular to their selection in mouth watering Beef🤤.🥂 Cheers 🥂

Good & tasty variety of Asian cuisine. We always do our company events here and they always give good service. Place has cool yet decent ambiance.

The buffet is ok.. i like the place its huge but the food is not bad but i cannot say its worth the value.. i like the choices of dessert and the live band makes it more nicer.. ill try the alacarte next time😘

Best place to spend time with family on weekend, delicious food as well, Professional staff

First time here and it’s VDayFeb14.., had to wait for 1 and half hours for our turn (not complaining😉) we decided to try here coz been hearing this long time from some of my friends/colleagues that the foods here taste very good.. So here’s the verdict.. let just talk about the foods mainly, anyway they have a very nice ambiance, with music/singer/band. They have different variety of food, not that much but worth it for 50 aed.. but some of the foods are not well prepared, the beef sisig was like fried beef (meat was very hard) prawns very small soft blunt taste(overcooked), and the crab also small has no meat inside.. But they have amazing sweets section👍😊..PS: read some of the reviews you guys have a very good feedbacks but some also experienced the food taste has been changed so had to try personally..

You need to come early to enjoy the buffet. Dont be like us, 1 hour before closing. 😂

The food was amazing . Good staffs. Good ambiance. Highly recommended

Good food and good place!! 👌

If you are looking for buffet of Filipino cuisine, you can visit this place. They offer decent food at a reasonable price. My friends always enjoy their kare-kare, bilo-bilo and most of the kakanin 😜.

I went there with my cousins. Nice food. Love the variety of Filipino foods. Love their california rolls. love their desserts.

Good interior and the food is good but a little bit pricey for me.

AC is not working in the party hall and we all left sweating..... we have booked from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm and we all left before 7:00 pm... not a good experience last week.

Delicious food and lots of choices. I like the beef siding and karekare. Just add a bit of Japanese sushi variety.

Its a very beautiful place..to come with your family and friends

I rate 1 star because Im not happy for there foods I just waste my money...even free drinks in buffet they dont have and I went there for the palabok and kare-kare but Im so disappointed the kare-kare all bones and no vegetables..and the other staff are no respect..

They dont deserve a star! Not worth the money, food are not fresh. Rice is even kharban.. Ive been through several pinoy rest. But this is the worse!!!!

A cozy and an affordable buffet style Filipino cuisine with a variety of food selection at the heart of Karama-Dubai.Taste and presentation, well, the fact that it is a buffet style cuisine with an affordable price, expect that the taste wont be the same as with A la carte menu... But, the staffs are very attentive and friendly with very good ambience...

Food is good. AC is not working in the room that we use for the bday party. All the guests are sweating. Not recommending for party events.

Nice food good place .you can eat.the food you want ..

A definitive comfort place for Pinoys! Aside from the Kare-Kare-to-die-for, what makes this hub exceptional is their staff. The give one helluva birthday greeting! A must for every race, creed or color.If you add more seafood dishes to the menu, Ill make this a 5-star review. 🇵🇭

Wonderful restaurant... good atmosphere... value for money... wonderful staffs. very friendly service... the foods and sweets are extraordinary... u can eat as much as u can.. have ample parking around the place.. good place to spend time with family friends and kids....

Well spent family day, food is great with lots of options

Even though were having a pandemic, hot palayok still has a broad range of food selections. This is what I keep going back to.

My family was a regular customer here for 3 years now. Previously, I gave them 5 stars, and now I have to change my opinion about them due to several reasons. First, the food is not as good as before and few options for the price of 51aed buffet, sushi is dry, grilled isaw almost turned into charcoal. They increased the price but they lowered their quality. Waste of time and money. 👎👎👎👎

Very well organized buffet, but missed spicy food, it was all sweet ,even beef curry is also sweet which I never taste anywhere . But regarding seafood, philippinos food it is good. For Asians like Pakistan or Indians or bangalis will recommend 50 50

Great ambiance, fun friendly crew, very nice food quality and if u feel to sing free karaoke! A must to visit!

Food is extremely tasty! Is, by far, the best Filipino restaurant Ive ever visited!

Lovely place. Variety of food, friendly staff, price is affordable and good location, area for kids with some games, party hall

I love this this restaurant well satisfied when im eating there see u soon again love it

Good food. Good staff. Good price for buffet (lunch time) .Good ambiance. Highly recommended 😁

Its food is goood for philpinese people

Your Tinola make me 🤤🤤🤤Just fix your A/C as I sip the tinola soup my sweat dropping where the soup is 🤭

Been in this place 2 years ago with my batchmates. Their buffet is the best!

Its my first time and last time to eat in hot palayok. Very bad place to eat very expensive food not nice food is not nice grill not good drinks is not included for the unlimited its not nice to recommend because you will just disappointed.

Some food tatse like spoiled already, not even fresh 😔🤮💔

Delicious and wide choice for an affordable price. The ambiance is just a bonus

I celebrated my bday here yesterday with 2 of my friends and we all enjoyed the dinner buffet. We didn’t expect the place to be very spacious and cozy. Very affordable buffet with different Asian flavors. Desserts too are at its finest. I forgot to take a picture of the Mongolian noodles live cooking station and their bbq but they have it. The staff are very accommodating and entertaining. The way they sing happy bday to the celebrants are very unique and definitely a memorable one. 😂😂😂Great job kabayans!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼We will definitely go back and try other themed nights you have.PS: could have been more awesome if drinks are included in the buffet 😂🙏🏼And since there’s a short cut from the “eskinita”, better if you can put a signage so customers coming from metro won’t need to take a longer walk.

Very nice ambiance and offers value for money all you can eat buffet.

Cool place to celebrate your birthday. Filipino food was great. Combination with the staff who will sung a song for your birthday, 😍🤗🤗🤗 love it!

A great place to meet and eat. Seafood buffet is awesome!

The restaurant is not bad for Filipino dishes, they have many varieties at a very affordable price for a buffet

The buffet food was so delicious and great for corporate and celebrations

Food is always food. Safety protocol due to pandemic being followed.Staffs are accomodating 😉

Food and services are perfect. Professionalism at its best . Awesome experience .. ambience and poeple..

Good service . But food need to improved. Weve been here last night. We did not enjoy any food.😔

Clean and tasty food, good place to celebrate some occasions with family and friends

Very good food. Staff are so entertaining and courteous. I love the Filipino kakanin for desert.

Ambience,service and staffs are good. The food isnt. Kare-kare doesnt have any vege, sushi was dry, sisig was made of beef and were cut into big pieces like cubes. Theres no drinks on buffet..even water.😬🙊🤦‍♀️

Tasty food, lavish buffet, very clean and hygienic place! we counted 12 different warm dishes and have had all of them. We love their pineapple salad, crab, sushi, fish and chicken. We paid 67 AED for two people and more than 24 foods. Unbeatable. Last but not least to mention the extreme attentive staff. New plate and cutlery for every new course. 5*

Great food and fantastic customer service !

Love love love this place!!🥰 affordable and good food. Tip go there on weekdays lunch only 29dhr buffet!

Great Experience, much fun and enjoyment, Fresh Express Horeca, Restaurant Division

Buffet with affordable price

The only tasty dish there is pancit, the rest of the dishes has very bland taste,very dry,with few choices of main dish and dessert.Not appetizing at all. Washroom is for both ladies and gents, faucets aint working and dirty.Though staff are nice when we enter the restaurant, after paying, when we go out, its like they did not see us at all, 2 of the lady there just glimpse at us and did not even say Thank you for coming. Anyways, its diffinetly the last time for us.

Great place for a variety of Authentic Filipino foods with a variety of other cuisines as well!!! And the drinks are a must try and dont forget to have the dessert ginataang bilo-bilo!!!!

That place is amazing! We were there on 29th of October and the place was really clean and nice. The food was great and the filipino staffs are so wonderful. 👏 We will surely recommend this place. The unlimited buffet is the best bang for the buck. Amazing!

Lovely

Very Delicious filipino Cuisine and very affordable price

The service crews is great friendly, food are delicious.

The food is awesome! Enjoying Filipino food too much!

Really loved the place . Went morning and evening . For me morning was better the place not that much busy that is why in the morning . Would love to try it again

Amazing food and very accommodating staff!Thank you all for the great experience.Highly recommended!

Food is so good, affordable and the staff are friendly.

I got a coupon from papa johns saying, Buy one large pizza and get a medium size pizza free. But when I called Papa Johns, they said that the coupon wont be accepted in home delivery. I suggest you do that facility.

Very friendly staff. Place is clean, well organised and food is good

If you love filipino food and asian dishes. This is the place to go. 🍲❤️

Few selection with average food. Those with zomato gold can only use it on ala carte items and not the buffet. Good service but the food was a bit of a let down when your expectations are high because of the reputation.

Amazing embianc and good food.personally enjoyed a lot.

One of the best filipino cuisines in dubai.

Amazing over load laugh trip. Thank You kabayans 😀 the Best talaga ang mga Pinoy!! Well be back again for more celebration with you guys nice dancers and kuya singer Hahaha lovin it. Much love HP God bless you more. 😘😘😘😘

( Dec 25, 2019 - Christmas Day )Aside from few ladies who put Tiger Balm or Katinko 🤭😉 in the counter area.( Which is not good,smelling that after food or before eating the food) Everything is perfect. Happy Holidays.
