Ben’s Kitchen is a sister company of Xtremely Xpresso. Place: They have an airy space attributed by high ceilings and light blue colored interiors. They don’t have their own comfort rooms. You can use the ones in the mall, as there are 2 comfort rooms near Ben’s Kitchen. Food: They almost have the same menu. They only serve 12” pizza though. I noticed that they changed their menu. Some of my faves aren’t served here anymore. The pizza here is good. I also recommend the ribs and the nachos. Their coffee is bleh. Staff: The service crew are usually efficient. Parking: There usually is a lot of parking spaces.

Quiet place behind Harbor Point Mall so it’s a bit private. Quality of food is commendable and when compared to the large servings per order, the amount is truly worth the money.

Located within Harbor Point Mall, this restaurant is a great choice to satisfy your cravings. The Shrimp Linguine is a personal favorite, bursting with flavor. The wait for servings typically ranges from 10 to 20 minutes. The consistency of their baby back ribs is impressive, and they also feature a variety of dishes from Xtremly Xpresso, their other branch. Additionally, I discovered they offer small-sized pizzas here. It’s also cute that they serve popcorn for waiting time.

Food was quality. We ordered the ff: Tex Mex, Baby Ribs, Lemon Chicken. Toilet - Not available. Table - cleaned before we used it but I still wiped it with wipes. For the food. TexMex - didnt expect that it was a really huge serving! I loved it, it was awesome and the main spotlight of our dinner. Ribs - A-OK in terms of cooking. It was easy to shred just by using the spoon qnd fork. Serving as Huge as well! I'd buy this again next time. Lemon Chicken - Serving was small, yep, quite very small. Didnt like the taste as well it was below expectations. The black rice is good, on the other hand. The store was packed in full, hence the service peeps were very busy. I'd dine here again.

Still good as I first dine with them . The food is good quality, the portion is appropriate, and the taste is exquisite. The ambiance of the place is still good, jusg needs a little more maintenance for the booth chairs and seats. Overall, it is still a good restaurant to dine with.

11/08/25. Xtremely Xpresso's brother. Restaurant is located in the quiet area behind Harbor Point Mall, Subic. Since this is under Xtremely Xpresso, quality of food is consistent throughout their branches. Plus serving size is generous. Ordered the Baby Back Ribs. The ribs were huge. Plus the side of baked potatoes with tangy sour cream was an ideal pairing. Serving time is faster compared to other restaurants in the mall. Staff are friendly and trained. Our go to restaurant for bang for buck quality meal in SBMA.
