Only really stopped in for a beer and snack. Good location. Overlooking water, was the only one here. Menu looked ok, tried milkfish spring rolls which were good, staff were friendly and attentive.

Went here with family and colleagues. Tip: go to the second floor. It has a fantastic view of the sea. Partially obstructed by electrical wires but still fantastic. Go to the second floor also to avoid the live band in the first floor. Not that...the band is bad but if you're there with family and friends, maybe you'd want to get away from the band. The food was okay. My family seemed to love the crab. I had beef tenderloin and it was just okay. Note that Hayahay is also a watering hole. I remember going here less than 10 years go drink with officemates and our hosts.More

I really like the view and the food is all pretty good. There is one thing that made me decide to not go back and that was the 5% surcharge that was added on the bill after the meal was over. If there would of...been a sign of mention of it before my meal or would of been OK with me but you can't add charges onto a bill after the fact and I don't like deceitful practices so they lost a good customer for that sneaky reason.More

Food is okay but the service was terrible. Went through an entire meal without them serving any water despite asking for it repeatedly. Their seafood is too expensive. The heat was unbearable as they couldn't even afford to fix the broken ceiling fan.

The restaurant has significantly deteriorated since we last went there 5 years ago. The smell of a roach infestation greets you upon entry. We foolishly ignored it and gave it a chance thinking the food would still compensate for it since our last experience was...a good one. We were terribly disappointed. The different dishes we ordered all basically used the same red sauce. Crabs were scrawny and mostly shell. Oysters were pathetically small. Only the clam soup was good. The restaurant had smelly dishes and we had to ask the waiter to change them. But the most un-forgiveable were these: 1) My daughter had terrible food poisoning and had a fit of vomiting after eating the oysters 2) A big flying cockroach landed on my sleeve and flew around the restaurant. It has become a filthy place with substandard food. We will never go back and never recommend this place again.More

I used to go here for the view, food and ambience but the last time I went they added on a service charge without prior knowledge, so I don't like to be charged for something that wasn't revealed ahead of time. Not going back

Went here to chill-out after dinner, and have a drink or two. The place was good. The ambiance was nice and cozy. The drinks were perfectly chilled. There was a live-band (Cute though as the lead vocalist isn’t that good but it shows that he’s...having fun – so we did too!) Jammed with the band and had a couple of requested songs. It was truly a fun night. The staffs are friendly, too. Tourist or not – this is a great place for a night out!More

Hayahay serves some of the best seafood dishes and it's an amazing experience because you have a fantastic view of the ocean. Although service tends to be slow especially during peak hours, the servers were friendly and made sure you were enjoying your dining experience....I especially loved that there was a live band playing when we ate there, it completely made our night!More

Massive menu - lots of unusual fish dishes and sushi that I have not seen in other restaurants. Everything we had to eat was excellent. Service a little slow at times but not a problem if you wave them down. Great atmosphere. The live band...played rock and roll and made the night.More

Took sometime for them to serve the food. Taste is ok. Surrounding kinda musty and the menu given to me was kinda dusty. DONT ORDER THE CRISPY PATA CAUSE IT WAS HARD AND DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH MEAT.

The location is good and you have the choice of upstairs or downstairs. Beers were very cold but it took forever to be served. We were seated with menus as soon as we arrived and then it would have been at least 20 minutes before...anyone came near us, to tell us a better table had become available. We moved to a table on the railing with a view of the water but it took about another 15 minutes to be served. Just too long when you have kids with you. We had decided to leave just as the waitress made her way to our table. We took that as a sign and we ordered. The food was nice and came out quicker than the 30 mintues we were told it would take. Overall a decent restaurant, but don't go with high expectations of good service.More

Yes they do! But the problem is, if there is no strong and steady internet connection, they are not able to process the payment, so it's always good to have cash with!
