"Glad they opened a new branch! Tucked away in a secluded spot at the 5th floor, PDQ (Recipes!) is frankly easy to miss. Could say the same about their food though, in the sense that their general's chicken, gising gising, and tilapia are easily craveable. Walang masyadong arte, basta masarap!"

"Worth to eat here, especially if you are eating as a group. Their generals chicken and gising gising are must try and really superb. Kare kare and adobong kangkong with liempo are just so-so. Also i with they, have rice party platter to those who are dining in. All in this is a great one. Will surely back"

"Dined here to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We missed this restaurant because we frequently dined in their Robinsons Manila branch years back. It’s very nostalgic dining here. The dishes were as special as we remembered them. The fried tilapia, general’s chicken were two of my faves for the night!"

"Surprisingly, they have a good food! Staffs are also friendly, attentive and well trained. Big servings and cheap too! Definitely a hidden gem, although I tried the one in Assembly Grounds in Yakal St., for sure they have the same quality here in Podium as well."

"Finally, Recipes is back in the Ortigas area. Located at the 5th level of Podium Mall near the cinemas, it's such a welcome surprise. The PDQ stands for Price, Delivery, Quality, its a minor rebrand to the well known and loved RECIPES. The General's Chicken and Gising Gising still hit the spot and bring back so many good eating memories. Those who are not familiar with this resto will not notice new additions to their menu. Here are a couple of tips. The Crack Chicken is so addictive and the Grilled Lemongrass chicken or pork set meal is not only yummy but also so affordable. A really good deal especially here in Podium Mall."
