Had a great dining experience at Tong Yang! The food selection was excellent—fresh meats, seafood, and a wide variety of hotpot and grill options. Everything was well-stocked and flavorful, and the desserts were a sweet bonus! A special shoutout to Isaiah, our server, who was very attentive, polite, and quick to assist with everything we needed. He made our visit even more enjoyable with his friendly attitude and efficient service. Will definitely come back again. Highly recommended for group dining and celebrations!
The food is delicious, they have options that are ready to eat and the ones that you can diy. Generous refill and accommodating and welcoming staff. Keep up the improvements and better operations!
Great place! Tried this place with my coworkers and the store met the expectations from the different online reviews we found. The staff are accommodating, we did not experience the door queueing (came here around 5PM), and got a chance to choose a table. A clean area with proper and enough eating needs (toothpick, tissue). The foods available are mouth watering and the range is wild. The food arrangement is very noticeable for accessibility. Delish foods and worth the prize. Did not come out smelling like a smoked bbq meat.

Table 404- We had such a wonderful experience at Tongyang Iloilo Buffet! The food selection was plentiful and delicious, featuring all-time Filipino favorites and freshly grilled specialties. The staff were very friendly and accommodating—especially the head chef, who made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. A special thank you as well for allowing me to celebrate my birthday and for surprising me with a cake—it truly made my day extra memorable. The place was clean, cozy, and perfect for gatherings. Definitely worth it, and I’ll surely come back with friends and family. Highly recommended!
