A World of Culinary Choices by the Bay
Everything about Okada is massive and extravagant, and its culinary scene is no exception. The flagship buffet restaurant, Medley Buffet, features a massive spread of international and local cuisines with live cooking stations. If you prefer Japanese cuisine, you can visit Enbu for robatayaki, or Wa-Shin for traditional courses. For Italian, La Piazza offers a fine dining experience overlooking the famous multi-million dollar Fountain show. Honestly, the scale of the dining spots matches the gold-tinted grandeur of the casino lobby. The food is consistently good, but you're also paying a premium for the ambiance and showmanship. It is a popular spot for massive family reunions or celebrating birthdays with grandparents who love a grand buffet setup.
While the indoor spaces are luxurious, some restaurants also offer views of the outdoor pool cove. It is worth noting that during the weekend dinner rush, walk-ins at the most popular dining venues are almost impossible. Make sure to call ahead and book a table, especially if you want a window seat that looks out onto the fountain show. The dress code is generally smart casual—the resort is quite strict about activewear and slippers, so make sure to dress appropriately before heading out.
Beating the Coastal Road Gridlock
Commuting to Okada Manila can be a bit of a challenge due to its location at the edge of Parañaque City. If you are driving or booking a Grab, the traffic along Roxas Boulevard and the Coastal Road loop during rush hour is legendary. Getting stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic for an hour is standard if you travel between 5 PM and 8 PM. Luckily, the resort offers complimentary shuttle services from major hubs like SM Mall of Asia, which is a great option if you want to avoid driving. If you do bring your own car, the parking structure is massive, but it can be quite easy to forget where you parked. Honestly, take a quick photo of the nearest elevator column before you leave the garage—it will save you a lot of wandering after a long dinner.
