Food Discovery | Delicious Food and Good Times at #7Flavors Buffet & A La Carte Restaurant
12:42 AM
Two of the most prominent traits of Filipinos is their love for food and love for social gatherings. We all enjoy spending time with family and friends while eating great food. This is why many restaurants are going to the path of buffet---because Filipinos love to celebrate in big groups while eating big lunches or dinners. The more food there are, the merrier the celebration. It will always be part of the Filipino culture.
7 Flavors Buffet & A La Carte always had these two Filipinos traits in mind when they started on May 2015. It is partly owned by one of the most popular chefs in the Philippine Showbiz: Kusina Master himself, Chef Boy Logro. The restaurant boasts of serving international cuisine on both their buffet and a la carte services. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as drinks and coffee.
I am honored to have the opportunity to visit 7 Flavors Buffet & A La Carte and taste the food concoctions of Chef Logro. Since my boyfriend, Marc is the foodie in our relationship, I brought him along to try the menu. So, this review is a combination of both our thoughts and views.
THE RESTAURANT
The first thing that attracted me to the restaurant is its beautiful façade. For those who don’t know, green is my favorite color, so I easily fall in love with anything greenery. The look of nature outside made the place look so elegant and modern.
You also see the standee and different faces of Chef Logro in the lobby.
I also like that the place has ample parking space, which is something very rare in the area. Almost all of the nearby restaurants have little to no parking at all. So having this wide parking space is a big advantage for the restaurant.
THE VENUE
For those who are not fond of eating a lot, you can go for a la carte food, which is served in the first floor. Here, you will be welcomed with colorful cushioned and steel chairs, as well as wooden tables that add simplicity and color to the place. You also have the option to eat outside. They offer various meals, sandwiches, desserts, shakes and juices that are listed in their big blackboard.
However, if you’re a big group that wants to enjoy being together while eating unlimited food, their world fusion buffet is for you. The buffet is located at the second floor and houses small private function rooms for families and friends.
Apart from serving buffet and a la carte, 7 Flavors Buffet & A La Carte accepts group bookings for the first and second floor, as well as for the whole place. It can be a venue for your weddings, debuts, corporate events, Christmas parties, birthdays, family reunions, social gatherings, and many more.
The great thing about this is you don’t have to pay extra fee for the venue, though there will be fees like corkage, sound system, and LCD projectors. Otherwise, all you have to pay is the usual fee per head. The first floor can hold a maximum of 80 people, the second floor is good for 150 people (minimum of 120 to get the floor exclusively), and the whole restaurant is good for 300 guests.
THE FOOD
Now that we’re done with the venue, it’s time to post the main event: THE FOOD! As I mentioned above, 7 Flavors Buffet & A La Carte serves international cuisine---so you will find different food options that will satisfy your cravings. Even if the interiors and exteriors of the restaurant look luxurious, they offer affordable food that is perfect for everyone.

In order for their customers to not grow tired of their food, the restaurant changes the menu every two weeks. So you always taste something different on your next visit. When we were there, they had a number of mouth-watering appetizers, such as corn soup, bread, tacos, fruits, and salads.
Speaking of appetizers, 7 Flavors Buffet & A La Carte is proud of their tacos, which is one of their main bestsellers. According to its Chief Operating Office, Albert Borja II, everything about the tacos is homemade and are done using fresh ingredients, from the meat to the shells. The have received a lot of positive feedback, with customers saying it’s tasty and appetizing. Well, they’re not wrong because when I tasted it, I definitely loved it. Even Marc agrees---he got another serving! XD
What I love about their tacos is you don’t have to worry about the shell breaking because it’s very thick. The beef is also delicious and tender. Combine it with the cheese, vegetables, and shell, and you get delectable and flavorful tacos that will leave you wanting for more.
Compared to other major buffet restaurants, 7 Flavors has limited food options to choose from. However, they make up for it by serving quality, delicious, and tasty dishes that you will surely love. The menu has a mix of meat, rice, fish, bread, desserts, pastas, vegetables, and fruits, so there will be something that suits your tastes.
Marc and I made sure to try everything because, well, this is food! XD However, since I have a small stomach, I took bits and pieces of everything. Marc, on the other hand, went back more often because there are dishes that were worth repeating for him.
Apart from the tacos, some of my favorites are the pasta and the sushi. These are actually my all-time favorite food, so finding out that the both were very delicious is enough for me to come back here again.
Our other favorites include:
Sauteed Vegetables
Roast Beef
Bulgogi
Brownies
Hainrihi Tip: When you’re in 7 Flavors Buffet & A La Carte, try asking their secret menu. When we were there, Salmon Sashimi was on that menu! I am not a fan of salmon, but when I tasted it, wow, it was sooooo delicious. Thanks to Marc for “forcing” me to taste it hahaha XD Anyway, when you’re in the Action Area where you see some of the dishes being made, just order the secret menu and the staff will serve it to you.
Here are the other dishes that they served when we visited:
After eating almost all of the food selections, Marc and I were full. Eating here is definitely worth the money because you can taste anything that your heart (or stomach) desires. It’s good to know that everything served in the restaurant is part of the success of Chef Logro’s career. His love for the culinary arts shows in the mouth-watering and tasteful dishes that 7 Flavors Buffet & A La Carte serve to their customers.
RESTAURANT FOR EVERYONE
7 Flavors Buffet & A La Carte is a great place for couples, families, and group of friends who want to celebrate special occasions and happy gatherings with great food. If you want to taste different dishes without spending a lot, this restaurant is perfect for you. For sure, we’ll come back here to taste other dishes made by Kusina Master himself.

The executive chef here was a genuinely nice person and never made us feel like we were just "business" for him. He was extremely competent and organized. Because of the natural beauty of the event venue Chicago, we were able to get away with very minimal decorations.
