Loyola’s Asian Cuisine and Karaoke Lounge

Great, divey bar. They are open on Sunday! Under new management! Live Jazz on the first and third Sundays too. Good Filipino food and live karaōke on other nights.

Food is nice and the drinks are very cheap. The bartenders are nice. I came because my Filipino friend showed me the place. It’s definitely the place to come for the legit Filipino bar/​karaōke experience

Fun place to do karaōke in the city! If you go early you might be the only ones there. Late night is when things seem to be happening here.

The lady who owns the place is like Wonder Woman. She does it all. She cooks, sings, bar tends and serves. She is super humble. The food was delicious and on point and if you like karaōke, this is the place to be.

I went with my boyfriend last Friday since we enjoy Asian cuisine. However, this was a disappointment.
The main lady working the night that I went was very nice, and the atmosphere seemed fun.
Yet, I got there at 11 and the waiter came to our table at 11:15. When our food finally came to us it was 12:15, and we were the only ones who had ordered actual food and not drinks.
When the check finally made its way to us it was 12:45 and that was after we chased down the people to give us the bill.
Not to mention the food taste like they used canned vegetables. I have had authentic Filipino food before and this was nothing close to it.
The experience of karaōke is more fun but as a restaurant it was very poor.

A fun little gem of a karaōke bar with late night Filipino food. Get the crispy pata and belt out Don’t Stop Believin’ while Jordan dunks and Ferraris peel out on the flatscreens. Service is great and the crowd was welcoming.

Food is not good. Drinks are cheap, that is about it. Oh and the fact that the patrons stand around outside smoking nonstop cigarettes and yelling every night does not make the cheap drinks worth the headache.

New look… but same management! Songs are updated, sound system is clear, and friendly staff and owner! You must try the chicharon bulaklak or i might say bituka (intestines), tokwat baboy and pancit! They are close on sundays and mondays!

OK so this place Opened last Friday (3÷15÷13) and as I said in my tip, it’s über Pinoy. We got there at about 11:30 on a Friday and it was pretty darn slow but, once 1 AM hits, watch out! it’s like trying to walk through Manila. People pack it in for Karaōke for sure.
Karaōke… what true Filipino doesn’t?
Upon entering this world I was given 3 things: A slap on the ass, a Birth Certificate and a Magic Sing karaōke machine.
It took a while but I did get to sing a couple songs and let me tell ya, it was tough following up 6 songs in Tagalog with Wheatus’ ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ and Blinks ‘All The Small Things’, but I pulled it off.
The karaōke selection is pretty diverse, country, rock, hip hop and everything in between. And, while the karaōke machine only pumps out 8 bit midi tunes, unlike one of those super snazzy ones that cost as much as a moped, it’s still good fun. I loved every minute of it, especially the peeps yelling «ANOTHER ONE!» so… I’m either THAT GOOD or SO BAD it’s AWESOME… either way, I’ll take it.
Since we got there ‘early’ we decided on some nom noms.
Not gonna lie, coming from a Filipino family with plenty of Filipino cooking and all that… I wasn’t super impressed with the Pancit. Maybe it’s because like ANY Pinoy Boy «No-​one makes it as good as my (fill in the blank).» But, a couple of us were there and we pretty much agreed that the Pancit was missing something, that something was a bit off. I did enjoy the Crispy Pata (basically pig foot and tibia/​fibula) it was hot super crispy skin and a flavorful meat. The chicken fried rice was A-​OK (little to much garlic for me), it’s loaded with chicken and veggies, nicely fried up and not super oily either. Each entrée has a very generous portion size, plenty for two people (or three) to share.
Onto the drinky drink.
Prices are CHEAP beer. Shots between $ 3 and $ 5ish.
Problem: they just opened, liquor shelves aren’t too stocked, so selection is limited for now. When we went there was no: Rumchata, Crown Royal Maple or Kahlúa… just FYI. The owner totally acknowledged that fact so props to her. If you stick to the mainstream liquors like Jim, Jack, Johnny and Jose, or the typical rums and vodkas you’ll be just fine. Mixed drinks (while limited) are tasty and very generously poured — as in: Strong enough to put you on your a$$!
I’ll be back for some karaōke and Crispy Pata for sure. I’m sure that this place will just get better as they get into the groove and past some of the growing pains.
^.^

FINALLY AN AUTHENTIC FILIPINO LOUNGE! The food, service, and drinks were superb… and as always, the karaōke is very fun. Even if you don’t want to partake, there are always regulars who keep you well entertained.
