All in with Uncle John’s
An unplanned visit to Robinson’s Galleria yielded a good opportunity to visit a food place that’s only available at this mall. Uncle John’s World of Flavors is the latest offering to grab the profits away from fast food giants Jollibee and McDonald’s. True enough, service is better than most fast foods.
Allow me to start with the booboos:
- Though service is fast, accuracy with the orders can be a turn-off for some diners. I ordered iced tea and the lady gave me water. Not that I don’t like drinking water, but it would be nice to get your orders right on the first try.
- Though Miss Laila, the lady behind the counter is an efficient employee, she can only handle so many customers. Come lunch time, the place becomes understaffed as the lines begin to grow with the lunch crowd. A few more counters to open early would be helpful.
- There is currently only one branch. Though there is a branch to open soon at the food court area, their store at the third floor is your only option as of this time.
The yahoos:
- Cheap, cheap, cheap! For P118.00 (US$2.75) you get a combo plate that includes one piece fried chicken, one full order of spaghetti and a slice of supreme pizza with a glass of soda. The servings are larger than usual and their chicken is oh so juicy!
- A lot of choices are available. Uncle John’s serves American, Italian, Chinese and Japanese food! Where else can you find a restaurant that serves all your favorites under one roof?
- Speedy service is the name of the game. When Uncle John’s first opened, they promised to cut down their food serving time to eleven minutes and, eventually, to six minutes.
When you’re in the neighborhood I recommend this dining place to all, especially to those on a tight budget.
