    Love this Filipino spot! I'm definitely not a Filipino food expert, but I am a huge fan. The place has tons of seating, gives off a very friendly vibe, and has a strong family feel to it. The restaurants plays happy birthday on the speaker and helps takes photos. There's also a bell you can ring on your way out if you were satisfied with your meal! At 7pm on a Thursday, we (party of 2) had to wait 10-15min. Definitely a packed spot, even on weekdays. Parking is pretty doable, but be mindful that meter goes till 8pm. We ordered: -Lumpia Shanghai: smaller than other Lumpia Shanghai I've had but sooo crisp and filled with meat. About $15 for 20pc. -Prawn Sinigang: plenty of prawns (were a bit of a hassle to peel), and tons of veggies! I do wish the broth was just a tad more sour. -Pork Sisig: came out super hot and crispy. This dish was delicious but very oily. Definitely a treat item! -Garlic rice: $11 for huge cauldron of rice but this was so delicious. The best garlic rice I have ever had! Overall, paid around $80 for the two of us, and had some soup and rice to take home.

    We came here for lunch food was great i ordered the chicken adobo it was my friends birthday so you can order birthday your bday treat 15 days before and 15 after which ordered the pancit. The chicken adobo rice was great big portion I couldn't finish my meal. The rice is delicious I don't eat much rice but this rice was good. Service was fast we received our food in no time. Parking on the side is free but if you park on the street pay for parking. Soda is included with rice plate. The egg drop soup is included with rice plates as well. I very much enjoyed the egg drop soup. The tables for service are definitely family size big round tables for like 8 people. But overall great experience

    I was craving so kare kare and my friend recommended me to try this place out. When we got there it was pretty packed. They had two big groups of 7 plus. They have a pretty in depth menu. But they did have a couple of pages saving discontinued. I wanted Kare kare with ox tail but they only had brisket or Pata. We opted for the brisket. We also ordered a side of Pata and bbq chicken. They offer a bucket of rice. The kare kare came with brisket, eggplant and string beans. They also offer a side of shrimp paste. The shrimp paste is different from the Asian type. Which is a bit more peach colored. The Pata was really crispy, fatty and not oily. Which was amazing. The bbq chicken was so delicious. It had just the right amount of sweetness. The staff are super friendly and nice. They checked on us here and there to make sure everything was OK. Will definitely come back in the future to try other items from their menu.

    I went to this Filipino restaurant with my dad, brother, and nephew; I loved all the license plates from different regions in the Philippines that were adorning the wall. The service was friendly, but our waitress forget our fish and prawns order, which my nephew was looking forward to. The waitress made up for this oversight by giving us a free bowl of rice. The kitchen made the deep fried fish and garlic prawn quickly, and my nephew was very satisfied with his tasty prawns. Overall the food was tasty, but some dishes were a hit or a miss. The chicken adobo, the short ribs & eggplant in peanut sauce, and the beef soup were delicious. The deep fried milkfish was very dry and almost tasteless. The banana shaved ice dessert was a bit bland and had a weird texture. I definitely enjoyed the vibe inside this place, so I will return in the future.
