Bagay na bagay ang pangalan na Goto King sa sarap ng goto, tokwa't baboy at kalderetang kambing ng pwestong ito sa hilera kung saan ang Seafood City sa Woodman. The only place na lagi may Si-Log all day (thank you), rain or shine. Kumpleto ang condiments ng bawat mesa mula sa catsup, soy sauce, lemon juice, spiced vinegar, etc in a nice wooden organizer.

I regularly brave the "cluster" that is Panorama City Plaza just to order from Goto King N Toppings, and it's worth it. Of the many Filipino dining options in the immediate area, I frequent this place because they offer relatively uncommon dishes. Bear with me as I list all of the dishes I've tried.
FOOD:
Goto w/ Tokwa't Baboy: Good. The consistency of the Goto was on point, it had pretty good flavor, and came with a generous amount of tripe. The Tokwa't Baboy is okay, but the sweet soy sauce they use ruined it for me.
Lugaw: Standard lugaw with a hard boiled egg and chicken on top. The consistency and flavor are the same as the Goto.
La Paz Batchoy: Pretty good. It's slightly sweet, served with big portions (of noodles, pork, and chicharron), and had solid flavor.
Lumpiang Gulay: Fried perfectly, crispy, and packed with vegetables albeit mainly sweet potato. Lumpia is a must-have whenever you eat Lugaw or Goto.
Kalderetang Kambing: One of my favorites from Goto King. Although my dad still makes the best Kalderetang Kambing in the universe (ha!), I really like the Kaldereta here. It is mild but has good flavor and the goat is always tender, which explains why it's one of their more popular items.
Sinampalukang Kambing: Good. I've also been curious of anything "Sinampalukang," so trying it with goat was perfect. Although I would have preferred a tangier broth, it was a good balance between savory and sour.
Adobong Kambing: The tray was full, and the Adobong Kambing was super dried out, but I went for it anyway and ended up liking it. The goat was flavorful, tender, and not swimming in oil.
Ginisang Ampalaya: Decent, but not my favorite. It's very tomato-ey.
Bicol Express: Nope, nope, nope. I hate to say it, but this is the worst Bicol Express I've ever had. I'm not sure if they forgot to add bagoong or just weren't done cooking it yet, but all I tasted was pork boiled in coconut milk. It had no flavor whatsoever.
Longsilog: Good, but ordinary. We were expecting homemade longanisa, but theirs seems to be supplied from elsewhere.
Long story short, the vast majority of the dishes here are pretty good. Everything is reasonably priced and the family that owns this place is incredibly friendly and accommodating. -

Love coming here to buy my son's lugaw/goto since he doesn't like my cooking lol. My mom and dad also comes here a lot for lunch and dinner.
They are very friendly and the price is reasonable! -

Panorama City is the beacon of all things Pinoy...a melting pot of food, culture and people. From Seafood City Market to Jolibee Fast Food Chain this neighbourhood seems to be the place to be when you miss home.
As of late I've been in search of true Filipino cuisine or at least something as close as possible to it. Searched on my Yelp app and found this place with legitimate reviews from other Yelpers. Dragged one of my colleagues from work and we headed here to try their Goto (porridge)-- specifically!
Goto with Tokwat/Baboy, sure lit up what I've been missing and yearning for years. Thanks Yelp! Portion and presentation of this dish was outstanding. Absolutely mouthwatering, indeed!
I'm salivating thinking and writing about it.
Veggie egg rolls were ok... I'm assuming this may have been prepped to be bland. An arrays of condiments are placed on the table such as vinegar, chili paste, patis(fish sauce) etc., for you to use and add flavour as you desire. Please make your own choice.
This spot is family owned and managed. They are such a pleasure and treated us like their own family, not just a customer.
Prices are reasonable. Clean, hole-in-the-wall eatery that can seat maybe a dozen people.
Should you find yourself at this shopping complex, head to Goto King and you should order tokwat baboy goto...you'll be glad you did.
Would also like to point out they serve breakfast all day and other "putahe" or delicacies!

Good for the price but not impressive. I was expecting a good pinoy classic food with fussion its just like eating in karenderia set up in recto budget meals if your going to ask the taste its beyond from your expectation they need more improvements with there menus, they have a perfect location for pinoy community
