Tong Yang, SM City Baguio

Tong Yang in SM City Baguio offers a straightforward hot pot and barbecue dining experience that's particularly fitting when the chilly Baguio weather sets in. Situated on Level 2 of Sunset Terraces, it’s a convenient spot for shoppers or visitors needing a warm, hearty meal after exploring Upper Session Road and nearby attractions.

The space reflects the brisk mountain climate well, encouraging diners to linger over steamy broth and grilled meats. Patrons can pick from a wide selection of fresh meats, seafood, and vegetables, alongside local favorites like innards. These ingredients cater well to groups looking for a shared, interactive meal that’s both casual and satisfying.

Expect a moderately lively atmosphere typical of mall-based full-service restaurants but with pockets of comfort thanks to its seating arrangement and the focused, if occasionally brisk, service. It’s a solid choice for friends or families who want something warm and familiar, especially during colder or wet days, when the heat from the hot pot offers a nice contrast to the weather outside.

Aside from the food, local guests tend to appreciate pairing their meal with cold drinks—beer in particular seems popular here. While the variety and freshness make it enjoyable, some might find the pace of refills and staff availability a little uneven, especially at peak times.

Visitors looking for a dependable, no-fuss hot pot experience in the heart of Baguio’s commercial center will find Tong Yang a practical option. It’s best visited during off-peak hours or rainy afternoons for a warmer break from the mountain chill.
