“ We went there for lunch after our swim at Ace Water Spa. We were given a table after 5mins waiting. We ordered Chicken Honey, Sotanghon Guisado (recommended!), Kare-Kare, Sinigang na Bangus Belly, Shanghai Rice, Chopsuey, Lumpiang Ubod (the sauce was superb!), Crispy Pata (recommended!). Everything is delicious naman. Stand out lang talaga yung Sotangahon Guisado sobrang malasa and yung Crispy Pata, star of the meal. 4 stars kasi medyo pricey but other than that everything is okay. They also gave out a slice of chocolate cake pala, free daw for us. I dunno why, maybe because of the amount of food we ordered or maybe because of the kids we brought in with us. We appreciate it though. The cake was delicious. ”
“ The wait staff is very friendly and attentive, which makes for an incredible dining experience. The dining room is clean and spacious. They offer a wide range of dishes, I ordered the Grilled Pork Spareribs, which were delicious! They were marinated in a sweet sauce that reminded me of teriyaki sauce—but not as sweet. Aristocrat serves authentic Filipino food at an affordable price point that makes it accessible to everyone in the community—even those on a tight budget! ”
“ Well known Filipino cuisine since 1936. Must try: Chicken BBQ, Lumpiang shanghai, Ice tea, Sago gulaman Attentive staff. Clean and huge dining space. Interior design was good. It highlights the locally materials from walls to ceiling. Lighting was very good. Air-condition from end to end. Available: - Toilet Location: Ground Floor North Tower SM North EDSA Quezon City ”
“ The Java Sauce definitely pairs well with their Chicken Barbecue. Java Rice is also excellent. We dined as party of nine, including kids. I would estimate the bill for dining adults to be about 300 PHP per head. I would say that's a reasonble price for good Filipino food. ”
“ July 2025: Our first visit to this branch, and I must say, we typically stick to the one in Roxas Boulevard. We decided to try their 3-piece chicken barbecue with java rice, sisig, fresh lumpia, and plain rice. I was thrilled to find that the flavors were just as incredible as we remembered! Every bite was bursting with deliciousness. However, there was a slight hiccup in our experience. The waitstaff was congregated at the far end of the restaurant, making it a bit tricky to get their attention for extra orders or to settle the bill. They seemed more focused on their conversation than on attending to the diners. Despite that, the amazing food made up for the service hiccup! ”
“ We waited forever to get a table, and then the food took ages. We got our usual stuff: boneless chicken bbq, crispy pata, sizzling tofu, sinigang na baboy, and laing. The food was amazing, though. ”
“ My girlfriend and I wanted a light dinner since it was already late. While walking around SM North, we saw Aristocrat and we suddenly craved our favorite Ensaladang Mangga and Crispy Eggplant. Without a second thought, we went in. Unfortunately, the Ensaladang Mangga was out of stock during our visit. Still, this branch didn’t disappoint. All the dishes we ordered were exactly what we’ve come to expect from Aristocrat, it was spot on and satisfying. A funny observation, their service water was surprisingly refreshing. It didn’t taste like an ordinary tap water, it felt like a really really good filtered water. Because of that, my standards for service water have definitely gone up. On another note, the service was excellent even though it was late. The staff were attentive, patient and the whole place was clean and bright. ”
