My husband had skirt steak and it was really good, it was smoky grilled flavor and tender. Lugaw(rice porridge) was actually my favorite and Bangus(milkfish) was really disappointing… it was dry and salty. Champurado was served with all breakfast dishes and it seemed weird combination but it was good to have as little dessert after savory meals. But it was good overall. I want to try other dishes. Burger was on the house, I haven’t tried but it was nice.

Fantastic place. Waitlist was easy to get on and understand how long the wait might be, service was quick and easy, the interior was kinda fun and old-school, and most important of all the food was tasty. I particularly liked the tocino. The overall flavor, the slight sweetness. My other favorite is the longanisa sausage. The steak was ok—the sauce it comes with is delicious, but on its own it is not very flavorful. The spam is tasty, but a bit too salty for my taste. The rest of the breakfast items went well with it all I think, from the garlic rice, cheesy grits, and eggs. Great brunch and lunch spot in my opinion. I’ll be back!

Solid food, good prices and portions. They have a definite issue with their menu where if you get their “The Classic” breakfast, it doesn’t come with the hashbrowns like all of their other breakfast options as stated in their menu without any mention. When I brought this up to the server she didn’t have an answer for it, which was disappointing.

Absolutely delicious food! Everyone was super happy with their meals. The bangus was amazing, as was the longanisa. Overall, would definitely come back for a delicious and authentic Filipino breakfast next time we're in the area!

Uncle Mike knows how to cook. After waiting about ten minutes we walked in and were immediately welcomed with some lugaw which was refreshing. Looking around the interior I felt like I was in a Asian diner. I ended up getting the longanisa and tocino breakfast combo which was amazing. The loganisa was sweet while the tocino provided more crisp yet both had great tastes. The eggs were exactly as I asked: over hard and mixed well with the rice and meat. There was so much food that I couldn't even finish the chocolate rice pudding which was delicious. This place is great and definitely one I will frequently be returning to.

Good food, decent portions, but overprice. Fast service once seated. Wait times are Looong! Waited over 1.5 hour outside cold weather. Wish there's feedback on wait times in the scheduling app or from staff. Wish they'll advertise their online scheduling online before arriving at the restaurant.
