Dissapointing

Went there two times. First time had Tofu skin tempura and the Spinach Lasagna. The Lasagna was delicious. They also serve good Passion fruit ice tea as well.
The second time I had the scrambled tofu-egg platter and it was way too salty and not really good.
They also overcharged us for meals we didin't have. So check the bill very carefully, before you pay. The first time we went there was a couple with the same overchargind issue.
The waiteres seemed to have a additude problem and didin't really care about the orders or customers.

Pros: All vegan, Nice restaurant

Cons: Billing issues

Great Vegan Filipino Food

The food here is really good with so many options to get your fix. Whilst it's not healthy food it is delicious as a treat. My fave is the sisig and their pancit,

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good price, Delivery available

Cons: Could look to change the menu occasionally

YES. That’s is, just yes.

I never turn down an invite to cosmic. Always good food, staff is friendly. I’m a sucker for their sinigang and extra spicy garlic rice.

4 stars for good food and being 100% vegan

1 star for not keeping their hours updated and not caring that you took a cab from across the city to get there. They close at 5, but they close their dining room at 4 and you can only get takeout after 4. This detail would be nice to share somewhere. This detail is not on their website either. I arrived at 4:20 and they would not seat me.

Edit: Ok, so I came back the next night. I had to give this place a shot, given it’s so highly rated by locals. I was the only diner in the restaurant at 5:00 PM. I got the spicy unchicken appetizer and the kare kare. The service was good, the food was served fast and I really liked it. I’ve never had kare kare, so I can’t say how authentic it is, but it is good. The unchicken was very good. Great texture and flavor.

I tried to order the flan for dessert, but they had no desserts available. Maybe next time.

My Go-to vegan restaurant

Very affordable and generous amount of serving. King oyster mushroom tempura, sisig & combo meals are a must-try! 💚

Filipino classics veganized

Probably the top vegan restaurant in Manila. Been here so many times the servers memorized my order. The Sinigang is a must. The sisig (traditionally made with pork, here composed of tofu and seitan) is excellent paired with some garlic rice. If it's not sold out by the time you arrive, give the diniguan (made from beans instead of pig blood) a chance, I don't think you'll be disappointed. And if you're a glutton for punishment, like myself, then you can ask the server to make all of your food spicy!

As other reviewers have pointed out, the location is a bit tricky to find at first, but don't let that discourage you. And if you're worried about getting stuck in the nightmare called Manila traffic, then I suggest getting dropped off at the corner of Ayala Avenue and Makati Avenue and using your impeccable sense of direction (or Google Maps) to get you the rest of the way there.

Excellent vegan Filipino food

Ordered takeout today and was blown away, especially by the sisig. It’s one of those dishes that makes such an impression, part of me will be thinking of it until we meet again.
Also had the miso ramen (very good), kare kare (excellent), tempura, and isaw (super tasty).
Will definitely be ordering again (or eating in) next time I’m in Manila.

Pros: All vegan menu , Authentic taste, Inventive dishes

Cons: None

Comfort Food in Nice Cozy Restaurant

I've been a regular customer of Cosmic ever since it opened. Nice cozy little restaurant in the heart of Poblacion. I've brought many omni friends here and they always enjoyed it.

Pros: Amazing quality food, Great service, Affordable

Cons: Small place so can get crowded during peak hours

Very hard to find.

Update:
Returned several times since first review and loving it. Definitely one of the favorites. Changed rating from 3 to 5 stars.

Took me half an hour to find in terrible traffic.
When I finally found it by guessing at 10:30PM, I was told they're already closing. So, no, they're not open until 11.
I said it took me half an hour to find them and I'm starving. I got a "Go away hungry" look.

Will come back at another, earlier, time and will rate accordingly. For now, I'm starving and pissed.

Pros: Looks promising., Looks good.

Cons: Very hard to find. , Closes earlier than published. , Come early if you don't know the exact place yet.

Hello, sorry for your troubles. Hope you were able to dine in earlier at another time. We sent a request already to the Happy Cow team to update our opening and closing times. Hope that helps!

Tasty, flavorful vegan dishes

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here! Tasty, flavorful, very filling and satisfying while being reasonably priced. Even the drinks are yum!
There is an online health declaration form and a consumable deposit of 300php per pax for dine in reservation but this is very understandable given that there is a pandemic, the metro is still in general community quarantine, and the f&b industry is struggling to keep afloat amid this unprecedented times. So i do hope we think twice before giving a poor rating solely based on this.

Pros: All vegan, plenty of yummy choices, Flavorful dishes, seasoned perfectly, Affordable

Good but so much hassle.

Coming from Nuvali, I had to call and make a reservation. Said that this can only be done online coz of the health declaration form. Fine. Tried it but their form won’t allow me to click submit. Tried multiple times. Called again and talked to the same girl, Joy. Told her that I only need to confirm that there are seats available as I will only travel from laguna to makati to try the place out and thank GOD she finally said yes. (Stricter than 5 star hotels!!) like why can you just accept the booking and let the customer fill out the form upon arrival? Arrived at the place and man! No visible signage outside. It’s at the second floor of mini stop where you need to pass through a sari sari store to find the stairs!

Pros: Lots of vegan Filipino food options, Affordable

Cons: Uses plastic utensils , Location didn’t seem safe , Paymaya wasn’t working at all

My love..

So this is where all I began! I love cosmic! I love you always! Eating in cosmic gives you energy & more love just for everything! Knowing that they make all their menu veganlly if there's a word.. tried most of the menu & I will not get over it! You can always buy their frozen packs so you can continue to be healthy & to stay cruel free even cooking at home..

Pros: Meatless & harmless to animals of course!

Cons: Available in Makati resto only

Planets align at this place

In Philippines this place is from a different galaxy. I ate here almost every day I was in Manila because the price was right and the portions good and they are open late and the taste was on point. I tried pretty much the whole menu and a few desserts and drinks too. I really recommend this place as it's close to both Makati and Gaudalupe Station. Right smack in the middle of Poblacion. Basically try everything. The whole menu is good, but you gotta like spicy. Upgrade to Garlic rice too, it's much better.

Pros: Good Price, Flavoursome menu, Open late

Cons: Hard to find the first time, can be hot and crowded

Buzzing & tasty

We arrived a little earlier than 12pm when they opened on Sunday and by 12pm it was full... and by 12.30pm people were queuing out of the door. Fully vegan. Fast service. Tasty food. My only criticism would be it was very oily food - most things on the menu deep fried.

Pros: Everything vegan 🌱 , Tasty & cheap food , Buzzing atmosphere

Cons: Greasy food , Could be difficult to get a table at peak times , Tricky to find (poor signage)

Tasty filipino classics

As a filipino american looking for some vegan versions of filipino cuisine, this place was great. We had the sisig and kare kare which were so tasty. Try the flan for desert!

Pros: Vegan bagoong!
