Filipino Restaurants in Avondale, AZ

“My wife had just flown in last night, and this amazing spot was open! I’d seen their page before on Yelp (my go to for honest reviews of businesses). I called ahead just to make sure they really were open, and they assured me they were, and they’d have room for us. We found the spot easily, there was plenty of parking. We walked into a restaurant that was fully decorated with New Years Eve decorations and had a DJ playing amazing music. We were surprised this place wasn’t standing room only, especially on a night like this. I recognized the owner right away from reading the reviews, and she was who came out to take our order after describing some of the items. The rest of the staff who helped were great and very attentive to all the customers. This is the night and day difference between actual family owned and operated businesses, and the chain restaurants. The owner came back to check on us (she had tried to warn me how spicy the Dragon Burger was, but I really wanted something spicy! My wife saved me by taking off some of the ultra-spicy hot sauce (ghost peppers!🤣), and the other staff who kept resupplying us with water. The owner recommended the Ube cheesecake, and it was amazing, and helped calm down the fire! My wife ordered the fried catfish, and it was light and battered and served with an amazing dipping sauce. The owner brought out her husband just before the New Years Eve countdown, and he very nice - I would describe him as one of those rare gentle giants, who has the ability to make everyone feel instantly comfortable around him. Then the countdown happened and everyone who was present went around shaking hands, hugging, and wishing one another a Happy New Years. An amazing restaurant, with delicious food, and a very professional staff. Please support this family owned and operated local business!🇺🇸🇵🇭🙏🏼💯“
