Hotel Sogo, known across the Philippines for its budget-friendly accommodations, is now expanding its offerings beyond overnight stays and hourly rates. After more than three decades in the hospitality industry, the brand has quietly launched its first in-house dining concept: Sogo Food Restaurant.

Now open in four Metro Manila locations—Malate, Roxas Boulevard, Buendia, and Santolan—the restaurant presents a menu that leans heavily into Filipino comfort food, with a mix of fast-casual staples and classic silog breakfasts served all day.

Sogo Food Restaurant isn’t a hotel café in the traditional sense. While its setting is casual and accessible, the food takes center stage. Among the most popular items are a variety of dim sum options: Pork Siomai, Chicken Siomai, and Shark’s Fin Siomai come served hot, generously portioned, and made better with the house chili-garlic sauce. The Mini Siopao Asado and Jumbo Siopao also deliver on both flavor and comfort, while the seasoned Chicken Feet offer a bolder bite.

But it’s the sisig selection that stands out. The classic Pork Sisig is served sizzling and well-seasoned, while the Bangus Sisig offers a lighter, fish-based alternative. Even vegetarians can join in with the crispy, flavorful Tofu Sisig—arguably one of the best dishes on the menu.

Sogo Food Restaurant also caters to health-conscious diners with a variety of vegetable-forward dishes. Familiar Filipino favorites like Lumpiang Ubod, Pinakbet, and Chopseuy round out the menu. These are not mere afterthoughts—they’re well-prepared, portioned generously, and taste homemade. The Chopseuy, in particular, is packed with crisp vegetables and served in a savory, lightly thickened sauce that’s both satisfying and nourishing.

For fans of all-day breakfast, Sogo delivers with a full lineup of silog meals—from Tapsilog and Tocilog to other popular combinations—all served with garlic rice and a fried egg. The menu also includes bento-style meals and hot soups for those in need of something quick and comforting.

In launching Sogo Food Restaurant, the brand extends its identity beyond short-stay hospitality into something more lifestyle-driven. The restaurant caters not just to checked-in guests but to walk-in diners, night owls, and anyone craving accessible Filipino food that doesn’t compromise on quality or cost.

At a time when convenience and value are paramount, Sogo’s newest venture proves that good food can come from unexpected places—even from a hotel chain known more for discretion than dining.

Sogo Food Restaurant is currently available at Hotel Sogo branches in Malate, Roxas Boulevard, Buendia, and Santolan.
