THE #1 Fast Food Chain in Philippines? Jollibee HONEST REVIEW

[@kennethrosales348]

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.

[@kamikazedude]

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.

[@Kurry34]

As a Non Filipino I agree. It was way better then kfc but on the same level as a good Popeyes branch, which has the same problem.

plot twist: they know🗿

[@jjylyn]

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!

[@HalluCinogen91]

It’s refreshing to watch a video from a foreigner that’s not patronizing Jollibee. Just a guy being honest but not being rude about it. Please try Orange Brutus! It’s a Cebuano local fastfood. Try their sizzling plates please

[@lloydchristianbalungcas7159]

Yes, try their burger steak 😋

[@ottoeke]

He's very rude

[@buenoemmanuel07]

Im a Filipino and I couldnt agree more. Jolibee was at its best way way back but as years go by it got worse and also the quality . I prefer eating at Mcdonald's these days way better and the quality is consistent.

Or he just ate at the wrong branch, never think of that?

[@kerby9308]

thank you for your honesty king

[@drewa3403]

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.

[@princeivanloza]

completely respect your opinion on it, personally i think it really depends on the branch because ive tried jollibee elsewhere and it tasted different and better, anyways great video uncle jimmy hope you make more filipino videos (and many other countries) contents !! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jujuu1339]

I wonder how expensive it is to franchise and open a Jollibee. McDonalds in the US costs up to 2.3 million if you want to open one. They put a lot of effort into making their big macs taste the same everywhere.

[@xrizbira]

[@Takeawayjustin]

Me an indonesian when i think of jolliebee a fast food chain with pasta

[@Poppinglipgloss849]

Agreed! Tried Jollibee’s in London and was severely disappointed, the chicken was underwhelming but the pasta was the biggest disappointment, the way everyone online spoke about it, we were looking forward to it, but it was overly sweet and not very nice.

[@kenarbyperez2946]

​@@Poppinglipgloss849 It's just a different kind of palette. We Filipinos are culturally more inclined with sweet things and its also pretty evident in our cuisine. But if you haven't, you should've used the gravy with the chicken and ate it with rice!

[@Poppinglipgloss849]

@@kenarbyperez2946 very true! We ordered everything on the menu, we were very excited to try jollibee, but perhaps it may have been the branch we went to¿.. the gravy was very watered down and the chicken was bland. We didnt have the first best impression of Jollibee’s but if you any traditional Filipino restaurants or places in London to recommend, we would be very appreciative! Thanks.

[@8ligh7]

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.

[@sindrickbulatao284]

Jimmy is one of those honest food review youtubers I always watch. When I saw the title , I know I will starting to get afraid because he will surely not be satisfied. Yes its true that Jolibee's chicken is one of the best chicken I tried only when its freshly cooked and with gravy but some of their food is just plain simple and bland. But its not bad though.

[@jvrsy86]

Never had Jollibees in the Philippines but I had their spicy chicken couple times in Toronto and New York and it was much better than Popeyes or KFC. I guess it's not the same quality on every branch. Love that you're honest in your vids and love your channel. Keep it up!

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

It’s weird cause I’ve been to the locations in Chicago and thought the chicken was just as good as Popeyes and sometimes better. Kinda crazy the food quality is less in the home country

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.

[@jeannettemaldonado4628]

Thank you for keeping it real. I'm so tired of feeling guilty because I don't feel like Jollibee hits as hard as other youtubers day out does.

[@rodhoutx]

My Filipino friend introduced me to Jollibee in the US a few years ago. I guess I didn't know what to expect, but the chicken was quite good. I hadn't heard of the sweet spaghetti before, but it's something I really like now. The quality can vary a bit between locations, and even at the same location. They have tried different things with their fries (they are not so good cold) - the best was when they were putting the fries in a little paper bag to get them warm. The rice should be "fresh" because they're cooking it all day, but it does tend to be a bit drier or something (but I come to expect it to always be that way). Jollibee has quite a distinct flavor profile - the burger steak reminds me of the Swanson beef patties I grew up with, the rice has a specific flavor, etc. I prefer Jollibee chicken to almost anything we have here. Sometimes I want to go just for the taste of the food, not that it's gourmet or anything. The staff are always very nice and friendly, the burger ingredients are stacked very nicely (not just thrown together like other American fast food).

[@y.5523]

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. :))

[@ho5hiisrawrr]

I think it's a hit or miss depending on each branch. My first couple times trying it (because it's what the majority wanted to eat), I didn't understand the hype. Everything was always mid. But then one time I went, the fried chicken was so juicy, tender and tasty I couldn't believe it tbh haha do I still prefer fried chicken elsewhere though? Definitely. Nothing really beats korean fried chicken tbh 🤷‍♀️

[@Kurry34]

Yoo. I had the exact same experience. Went to 3 seperate locations and always through it was trash until the third location. Likewise, too. Id rather have Korean fried chicken or popcorn chicken at any decent Taiwanese boba spot.

[@Korea4Me]

Hmmmm, I had a delicious meal at the Jollibee branch in Glasgow about 3 weeks ago. Everyone in the kitchen was hard-working and wanted customers to enjoy their meals. My daughter and I really enjoyed what we had (spicy chicken joy, hot dog, chips/fries and peach/mango pie). I'm really looking forward to going back one day!

[@louie6730]

Unfortunately, Jollibees in other countries have better quality than in the Philippines, which is frustrating because you know, it's a Filipino company, you would expect that the best quality would be in its homeland...

[@nacssalazar]

I think that Jollibee does have its downs but never enough to disappoint people this much (based on my exp and even other KZbinrs//foreigners reviews/) :> Probably a bad batch/branch to go to ^_^ Hope you get to taste a fresher & jucier batch next time!!! Big fan

[@siegsterpro]

Appreciate the honesty bro! I really think other foreigners are just praising Jollibee for clout. I still love Jollibee but hey, maybe it's a bad branch? Although I can't say Jollibee food is top notch. It still isn't. So whatever you think about Jollibee is pretty valid. Cheers, Jimmy!

[@robertcosta4782]

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.

[@user-ye3hb1ph7i]

I love how very transparent you are and i totally agree with your opinion, Infact throughout the past years jollibee becomes more bland and bland and the portion itself also becomes smaller here in the PH, yeah Inflation hits hard and the socio-economic status is quite fucked up and as kid who grew up eating jollibee i feel dissatisfied and disappointed about the taste of jollibee now, the chicken"JOY" nowadays make you upset for some reason and i get it!

[@Migzter05]

This is definitely one of those cases where someone’s been hyped up so much with something but unfortunately got handed the short end of the service stick. I don’t regularly eat at Jolibee since before the pandemic, but I do remember having both good and bad versions of their menu, so I do understand your honest opinion. I guess that’s the caveat of being a huge fastfood corporation, quality consistency tends to drop with certain branches. I had the same experience with other popular franchises like Panda Express and Dominos.

[@picklelove6179]

Personally, I think "Mang Inasal" is a more MUST TRY food chain than Jollibee. It's really good. Please try once!!

Well he said that he won't trust the "Bee" why would he bother to go to another restaurant that is owned by Jollibee.

[@fushumang1716]

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.

[@Prince_mt12]

They actually have the spicy version but it is not available in ph. I've eaten it in singapore and it taste awesome. Probably x3 better than the original one.

[@KennethDueñas-w2k]

My cousin is a Filipino born in America but he loves Jollibee. People have different taste buds and opinion and we must respect that. I love korean foods and honestly most of it doesn't taste good everything taste neutral but I respect that because its their culture. I hope you should do it as well😊 ❤❤

[@kfavis0210]

LISTEN!!! I love jollibee…… but it is what it is….. it’s fast food quality And I agree with some of the comments that it really depends on which branch you go to cuz there’s 3 branches near my house and I only prefer to go to two out of 3 of them Every fast food chain food…. Most of them are assembly line factory made and packed Even at KFC the gravy and mashed potatoes are both in powder form…. Literally just add water 🙃 Fast Food Restaurants = You’ll either love it or hate it or don’t care for it 💁🏽‍♀️ In the US I giggle a little when people think Taco Bell is actually Mexican food 🌝

[@antonfigueroa5045]

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.

[@ArwayneColomaTV]

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 ..

The Jollibee in Canada are fire - way better than other chicken fast food chains. And Filipino spaghetti is awesome - considering I’ve only had western, Italian style my whole life.

[@Boredgasm]

Jolibee is cheap and decent. And Asian, which is why it’s popular

[@ahbroody]

I live in Nor Cal. We have two Jollibee's in the area. Have tried it over the years 6 times. I am always left asking why its popular. I guess our locations just suck. Im always confused when people say good things about Jollibee.

[@Ridhostarr]

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.

[@hersch3lomarchelo117]

As a person who may or may not have worked at JB, I would say that it is hit or miss sometimes, some days the food be hitting and it's so fresh and tastes amazing, other times it may not be the best that it could be, depends on a multitude on factors. Also tbh I think the JB in the states is better. I would say the most consistent thing on the menu would be the Peach Mango pies as they are just simply fried and will stay crispy for a long time. Overall I still believe JB is like my number #2 chicken joint, like with all things in life don't let one bad experience determine the value of everything else. Other than that I agree that there are so many other places to eat than JB. Keep up the great work and love your vids!

[@twinrixone5295]

why would you go to a hit n' miss fast food chain? is the miss ratio low or what justifies it?

Jollibee's quality in PH is on the decline, the quality is probably much better in other countries like US or Canada.

[@Anisuza]

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.

[@anthonyd4769]

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!

Food can be subjective when reviewing, but thanks for keeping your reviews honest. Unlike some food travel vloggers like that Chinese guy and that Canadian

I agree with you, 100%. 'Cause back then, it was really good but as I grew up, it doesn't hit the same anymore. That's why I switch from Jollibee to McDonald's.

[@bcmountains3070]

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]

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.

Peach mango is the best but it's also best to wait for it to cool down since it's very hot

[@BlooHoots]

dang those chickens look SMALL, my only problem with jollibee is inconsistency, (different branches, different taste)

[@germanium1995]

This is an honest review. You are lucky when you chance upon their juicylicious chicken as they advertise it- particularly true when it’s newly cooked. I agree you dont go to jollibee for fries and coke

[@dowxi]

The thing with Jollibee is they prioritize their marketing/advertising over the quality of their food.

[@juanchoresultay2704]

Thats their price already somehow

[@80sKitty]

From the UK, our Jollibee is amazing, i kove it.

[@fsr7499]

I am Filipino American and I agree with you Jimmy.

[@mac-ec8do]

Yeah Jollibee can be a hit or miss and i'm sure most foreigners don't enjoy it as much as the locals do. The only items i would comfortably recommend to foreigners would be the chicken and peach mango pie.

[@zell8957]

Being exposed to different food flavors, Jollibee felt average. You're right, some adults still love it because of nostalgia.

[@milk__teee]

As someone who lives in Canada, jollibees is so much better than the franchises we have here. KFC, Popeyes, some other ones. They are alright. But the jollibees restaurant near me always had juicy chicken and it’s always crispy. I’m assuming it really just depends on the restaurant. Like the popeyes near me is crispy for sure, but it was kinda dry and lacked flavour really. I’d say the only chicken places that were better than jollibees was some of the Korean fried chicken places, but even then jollibees was still better than most fried chicken places, although the prices are pretty absurd

[@abe2great128]

They opened one here in Florida, and I judged it by it being a foreign filipino fast food compared to US fast food chains it wasn’t bad. But I judged as it is a filipino fast food branch
