The Good Stuff
Sunday brunch
Sunday brunches feature varied salads, fresh cooking and a broad selection of Asian dishes; one review also enjoyed the fried noodles.
Karaoke
Karaoke adds a lively after-meal activity, with one review praising the impressive song choice.
Group friendly
The spacious, colourful setting has worked well for families, birthday celebrations and a group of 10 at brunch.
Desserts
Desserts go beyond halo-halo: reviews mention walnut brownies, crème brûlée, fresh fruit and cakes.
Open kitchen
The open-kitchen setup lets diners watch food being prepared, adding interest to the meal.
Large portions
Several diners found the portions generous, including a set menu described as huge enough to make a takeaway tempting.
Tips for a Better Visit
Ask first. Ask staff or the chef about the made-to-order noodles, since this option is not displayed.
Check availability. Before settling on a dish or dessert, confirm it is available; diners have encountered unavailable menu items.
Check karaoke. If karaoke is a priority, check the current schedule; one review specifically found it on Thursday Seafood Night.
Use valet. Drivers can look for the complimentary valet parking in the hotel basement, as noted by a diner.
Verify vouchers. If using a deal voucher, confirm exactly what the package includes before ordering because one Groupon listing was disputed.
Share dishes. For groups, sharing may make sense: reviews describe both generous servings and a wide Asian selection.

The Bottom Line
Halo Halo is a Deira pan-Asian restaurant with a clear Filipino presence and a menu that also reaches into Thai, Japanese and other Asian cooking. You can come for a regular dinner, a Sunday brunch or a group celebration, then stay for karaoke. The pad thai, beef bulalo and halo-halo are among the most useful dishes to consider, while the halo-halo has been praised for its leche flan, ube ice cream and langka combination.
The setting is one of its stronger points. Reviews describe a colourful, quirky and spacious interior that works for families with children, birthdays and larger groups. Brunch diners mention varied salads, fresh cooking and fried noodles; celebrations have included staff performances and karaoke.
Drivers may also find complimentary valet parking in the hotel basement. There are a few things to check before committing. Some diners found prices high or servings small, while others considered set menus and brunch good value.
Dish availability has occasionally been limited, and one dinner review noted inconsistent flavour. Ask about the made-to-order noodles because they are not displayed, and confirm voucher inclusions carefully if you are booking through a deal site.
