  • Jollibee is a fast food chain founded in 1978, and it is currently the most popular fast food chain in Philippines. Many of my Filipino viewers asked me to try Jollibee to share my honest opinion on their food, so in this video, I visited Cebu, Philippines and tried LOTS of food in one of the many Jollibee branches.

    As a Filipino, I can say that Jollibees depends on the branch. I have had great and bad experiences. Thank God it's cheap so I didn't mind so much especially after bar close.

      Yea, I was kind of surprised he didn't like it, I had it last year and loved it (im from the UK) I am going back next week for a week and im going japan for a week. First thing I was planning was getting Jollibee when i land. Maybe he just had a bad branch or something or my taste is not as good as i thought.

    I'm a local but based on my experience too i can tell that the quality of food in Jollibee depends on the branch that you're dining in. I've encountered the most juicy, crispy and tasty chicken from jollibee as well as the perfect rice with it. fresh and warm rice but at some branch they just doesn't taste as good as others. for example i have dine in other jollibee stores and I've encountered their chicken being too dry, tough feels like it's a left over. the rice being cold and shagy. the fries being soggy and spaghetti being cold. I feel you jimmy and it's true you could've had a more pleasant experience with the food but it's just the quality that they can't maintain. i hope that they'd be consistent too. anyway i do hope that you still enjoy the meal and your stay here. keep safe and take care!

      As a Filipino myself the ones I've tried locally, specifically the fried chicken, range from decent to one of the best fried chicken I've ever had at a fast food place. The gravy is also fantastic.
      Then there's the spaghetti... judging from the reactions of people abroad. They almost always point to it being overly sweet as the main issue but most people in the Philippines seem to like it. It's what were used to, I guess.

    Don't worry, Jimmy.I won't hate you for your honest review. I like Jollibee, because it gives me the good nostalgia ( you are right), it's one of the places where my friends and I used to hangout, but there is nothing more than that. Like the other fast food chains in the Philippines, they probably serve genetically modified, and bleached chicken. Also the cooking oil they use for frying is reused so many times.😊😊😊

    • @avakiin6614
      @avakiin6614 4 місяці тому

      Genetically modified food is okay. Every domesticated animal and plant is technically "genetically modified" by humans but after over thousands of years of selective breeding. And what's the difference with that and those created in the lab? Nothing. The latter often just results in a sped up version of what our species have been doing for thousands of years.
      The anti-science rhetoric is not it.
      But yes I agree with the other points.

One thing tho, you should combine the Spag, BSteak, and the Chicken altogether, it makes up for a better combo.

    I'm a Filipino, and I love my country, but I'd have to agree with Jimmy on this one. I've watched tons of Jollibee reviews over the years, but I don't really agree to most of what they're saying. As a Pinoy who has experienced Jollibee all my life, most their reviews just doesn't sit right-- whether they're at a "good" branch or not. Feels like it's the first time I've watched a Jollibee review that actually dropped the real bombs.
    And I'm not saying the food is bad, I'm saying the quality is fit for the market that they're aiming for. And that's totally understandable. :))

    As a Filipino, I only like the Chickenjoy, and the peach mango pie 😅 Not a fan of the other stuff and the chicken sandwich def needs some spice
    Also, Jimmy, try the F. Cabahug branch if you’re still in Cebu because that branch is not under a franchisee. The F. Cabahug branch is near a building called Sykes.

    ngl, International Jollibee branches are better than local branches because they aim to impress foreign customers while local is just don't care and just rely on mass support of the franchise since people keep coming back because it's Jollibee.

    The quality of food and servings of Jollibee these days is deteriorating. It's honestly so bad. The prices are increasing but the quality is bad. It's not the same as before. However, I heard that the quality of food in the overseas branches is better.

    Honesty is the best. I only tried Jollibee once and never came back because I just preferred other fast food chains. I only had their fried chicken and spaghetti. The sweet spaghetti was too sweet in my opinion and tasted cheap, I like the sweet spaghetti that I make at home much more, and the fried chicken I prefer Popeye's so I just never had a reason to rly visit Jollibee again.

    Moral lesson, learn the history.
    His honest opinion is valid and i appreciate him for that. His right foreign vloggers use it for clout, sub, views and likes only. I understand, it maybe difficult for the foreigner to appreciate the food and what Jollibee is all about to the filipino history. Its more than that.
    For us Filipinos, Jollibee is FAMILY. It brings nostalgia every time we see one, remembering our childhood days, when our parents or grand parents would bring us to jollibee to eat food. We were always excited every time we hear that we will eat at jollibee, it is the happiest time in our life as a kid eating our favorite burger, french fries and spagetti, more so with our parents to see us happy is priceless for them. It become a tradition that even the poorest filipino parents dream is to bring their kids to the nearest Jollibee store. They will try to save money just so they could bring their kids and experience what jollibee magic is all about. Mind you the parents would sacrifice and will not order any food for them, only for the kids to watch them eat. This is what jollibee to us. JOLLIBEE is FAMILY!.
    Jollibee is the first restaurant a one year old filipino kid can uttered as "JOBEE" or short for Jollibee. That's why i say is more than that, Jollibee is Home as well.
    Jollibee is home a way from home, especially to those working abroad. It bring comfort to us, joy and pride. One thing Jollibee food is made to filipino KIDS and not so much to adult likeness, that's why our spagetti is sweater compared to western side.
    But i understand, that in this world only change is inevitable, in the fast changing world so as our food should adopt for the better.
    Just my two cents.

    I tried Jollibee once in London. I really like it except the portion. The chicken is small but the crunchiness is out of this world. Best crunch compared to KFC crispy one. My wife tried in NYC and tasted amazing as well. She said she prefers the London one. So, I don't know. I think a busy fast food place is a good one so you get fresh food all the time.

  • @ArwayneColomaTV
    @ArwayneColomaTV 4 місяці тому +1

    As a Filipino yeah it`s a hit and miss, it depends on the branch nowadays~ that`s why I don`t eat much on fast food anymore (any fast food) I instead I explore on food where I haven`t eaten yet or buy food in grocery and cook it from scratch or some ready to cook food.. well atleast If it hits ~ yey! and if miss~ better look/cook for good food next time 😆 and this what I like on your videos btw no sugar coating~ straight from the fact when I love it .. I love it! and when I hate it ... I damn hate it~ 😂

  • @LordLOC
    @LordLOC 4 місяці тому

    Like most fast-food joints, it all depends on the actual location, time of day and how well the food is prepared (aka not overcooked into oblivion etc.). Jollibee I've found is usually pretty good at these things, usually. Like with Popeye's or KFC, the chicken can come out overcooked or just dry. But the spicy chicken, I don't think I've ever had a bad piece from them oddly enough. The spaghetti is fine, and I don't hate the "sweet" style sauce they use. Normally it's the noodles that are just a bit overcooked which usually ruins spaghetti for me. I've also had their Philippine specific dishes (at least the ones offered here in the US stores, I assume more are available in the actual home country) and they are pretty good overall. I do think though, that Jollibee has gotten worse over time (basically like KFC, Burger King etc.) and they were much better even just a few years ago. Regardless though, I'd still get their spicy fried chicken, and chicken sandwich. They are pretty darn good.

    I'm sad to say but I can agree on this. Jollibee's quality has deteriorated over the years. The ChickenJoy is not the same as when I was in my teens. They have also significantly increased their prices without maintaining their quality. It makes me sad but I rarely eat Jollibee anymore.
    But, JImmy! If you're still in Cebu, I'd love to accompany yoouu!!! T_T

    As a Filipino, I would like to thank you for your honesty. I used to be a fan of Jollibee but, not anymore. The quality of food and the price is not worth it. You did a great review without being disrespectful unlike Benny Blanco did in his review. Not all people will like Jollibee because people have different pallet.

    I first tried Jollibee in Singapore in 2022 and it was actually amazing. Weirdly enough when I tried it in Cebu, it's not that tasty in comparison (granted I ate in a branch where it seems secluded). The gravy and sauces were all wonderful tho. Wish they open a branch in Indonesia or Australia.

    Thanks for your honest opinion. I have been to Jollibees in NYC, Milan and Manilla. I love the Filipino people, but the quality of this restaurant chain has gone down in the past 5 years, even though they continue to open new locations around the world. Out of all the items on the menu, I think the Chicken Joy and the Peach mango Pie are good. When trying the spaghetti, I know this is not like Italian spaghetti but like the Spaghetti'Os I had in a can when growing up as a kid. Sweet and tangy sauce. This is fine as long as you understand this before ordering this item. Out of all the fast food chains I think the best Chicken sandwich is now at Chick-Fila and the best tasting fast food Hamburger is now Shack-Shack. Jimmy; thank you for your honest review and I agree with your opinions. Maybe with more honest opinions, this will make Jollibee improve some of their items on their menu.

    been a Jolibee baby, but when I grew up, I knew that Jabee wasn't that good. small servings, even the chicken sometimes is small, and even the spag has less sauce; the fries aren't that good at all. And tbh, the peach mango pie with sundae is the only best combo for me to buy in Jolibee. Also, that yum burger whenever you'll be traveling inside a bus is a must. lol.
