Extremely good, tasty food here and super nice staff! Really diverse menu, they hit me with the sinigang on the house! Very chill dine in area as well!

Nasty . I observed the worker with glove on exiting the bathroom and wash her hands with the gloves then proceed to handle food . Definitely a violation. The food is sub par and were served cold. I mean it was not a busy time so that's weird .

Such a disappointment. Very unsanitary and lack of customer service. The servers wore gloves the entire time, not once did they change them. Instead they would wash the finger tips and continue on serving food or handling money. One of them even came back from the bathroom still wearing gloves and proceeded to the sink to wash her fingertips (with the gloves still on). As for the food, tasty but cold. I opted to dine in but the food was cold and no one offered to heat it up. Additionally, the food was served in plastic containers when there were dishes available to use. I was hoping for a good experience but doing some research and seeing how they've had multiple violations for their health score, I should not have expected anything more.

Authentic!!!! Some of, if not the best Filipino cuisine in the Bay Area. I love this place!

Was surprised to find a Filipino restaurant so close by so I decided to try it out. I wanted to try their sisig over rice, but they didn't have it.I ended up ordering some sides with rice. The dinigudan ($10) was not bad, it have stomach bit, pork, and overall taste tangy, with the right amount of salt. The mix veggie ($10) was okay, it have some bumpkin, okra, green beans, and some bitter melon that a bit over powering everything else in flavor, it was okay.Overall the meal was okay. My total ended up at $25. The side dishes was pretty small though.

Unfortunately it was not a good experience we came through town thinking we can get a nice Pinoy breakfast for our post anniversary dinner. The ladies working were very sweet... the torta talong not at all what I expected. Hubby wanted tocilog and got longsilog which the langonisa was awful. Thank goodness the eggs and and kanin were @ least edible.Sorry I don't usually like to leave negative reviews but after having a 5 star dinner the night before this was an absolute fail.

Waited for half an hour and the place is still closed - 930am opening, now it's 10am. Not even sure if this business is still open. No more reviews since last year. Should have called before I made an effort to drive to this place.

The food is authentic. The staff are polite and the prices are fair, though I do wish their portion of rice was bigger. It is one of those Mom-and-Pop places where they are open when they open, close when they close, and have what they have. If you go to it knowing that, you won't be disappointed. They have a traditional turo-turo menu, meaning, you point at whatever is there, ask for a portion, and hopefully enjoy what you are given. I always enjoy the sinigang na pork here. It tastes like home cooking.

Food was authentic and tasted just like how my grandma makes it! Whenever I get the taste for Filipino food I will come here and buy. Really friendly and sociable staff as well. Highly recommended.

From the first moment you enter that restaurant team give you a nice feeling. Very friendly crew, it is a friendly restaurant to go out with your friends or with your date. delicious food, professional chef de cuisine, competitive pay and attentive service. Warmly recommended.

I love this place, but it is definitely my wife's choice. We come here a lot for "morning dates" after the kids are dropped at school, and she's hungry from her all night shift at he Nursing home.The staff is very polite, just like at most Filipino restaurants, nothing too fancy, and nothing too expensive. My wife usually orders something exotic, and I like to get friend eggs with rice and longaniza. I really enjoy my time I get to spend with my wife, without out kids and this is usually where we go.

This place obviously knows how to serve their clients. Consistently with a super friendly mindset. The food is fairly priced, regularly flavorful and neat.

It’s as if I’m eating my Lola’s cooking. The food made me cry. If you appreciate authentic Filipino food, you would love it here.
