Good Filipino food ruined by poor business practices. Just had lunch here- ordered crispy pata, kare kare, and fresh lumpia, with the meal coming out to be about $70. What rubbed me the wrong way was that the bill came out to be about $90+ after tax and a FORCED 18% gratuity. They gave us no choice on how much tip to give, if any. I am a generous tipper by nature, I understand that the service industry is rough and stressful. But I should not be forced to give a designated tip unless I had a large party, which would be more understandable. Apparently it's their company policy to charge everyone 18% tip, but that is just not right, especially since there was no verbiage or signage anywhere that at least informed customers of this practice. This is deceptive and unfair, especially to those who may be more vulnerable to not understanding exactly what they are paying for. The owners should be ashamed of themselves. It's not about the amount of tip, but the principle behind it. Not to mention, I ordered a $6 calamansi juice that they never brought out. I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon and hope that others can at least be informed by my review on what to expect.

Ugh, I have been wanting to go here for so many months and sadly I will not be coming back. There wasn't anything spectacular at this buffet. There were so many items that were just okay and I can honestly say, I've seen better choices at Pinoy Pinay or even the Island Pacific supermarket. I wish that place had a buffet because I'd keep coming back for more. Besides, everyone here was just waiting in line for the lobsters and they would only be able to cook about 5 at a time. Not good for people just standing around forever. That means you would be at the restaurant for hours just waiting for one tail of lobster. Ugh, I really wish I liked this place because I hear so much about it but I didn't care for their choices.

The restaurant at first glance was nice. The service was super slow. Once they seated us they handed us menus but no explanations and dashed off. We couldn't figure out who our actual server was because we had different people approach our table. When we finally got our food order the portions were small disappointing - none of them came with rice! We had to order rice a la cart! Another eating delay..... I can say the food was good and presented nicely, but the process don't match the experience.
Very good food.the staff is courteous and gave good service, except for manager/owner's attitude. She lacks acknowledging the presence of customers I even felt she was really avoiding us for some reason. We are not coming back. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

Food was great. And beef sinigang was large which will fit 4 people and was awesome. Chicken barbecue great and chewy topple that garlic rice with generous toppings onions, awesome. Crispy Pata was crispy, great especially with the sweet calamansi juice all in all great!!!
We had the breakfast buffet this morning. Reservations are recommended because the breakfast buffets are only during the weekends. There's a line at 7:50 am and it's assigned seating. The price per person is $28.05 including tax and 18% service charge. It's a great place to learn about Filipino breakfast, everything is delicious. If I have any complaint is that the seating area is way to tight, you almost have to take turns to move your chair to get out. Also, the juice options tends to be too sweet but you can always dilute it with water. A good brunch option!

Visiting family and I tried their breakfast buffet for $28 (they add a fixed 18% service charge which I think is high as they just clean the table) with tax. We arrived past 10am and there are still food available but they have already stop replenishing the dishes. So it's best that you come early to get the most choice. The food was tasty especially the pancit bihon, eggplant omelette, tapa, tocino and longanisa. As you can see the meat dishes are all sweet tasting. There are some dried fish and sautéed fish. My brother in law who is from Pampanga liked the dishes. The fried eggs look pathetic and so I didn't have any. I wish that there would be more choices. They have at most 8 trays displayed. The price included coffee and juice. We had sweetened bananas and jackfruit for dessert. They need to lift up their water and juice dispenser as it's cumbersome to get it out without spilling. You have to tilt your cup. Lastly I wish that they stop using styrofoam cups as they're not recyclable.

We stumbled into this Filipino restaurant in LA (Artisian) and I must say 'it's the best' we had so far. The ambiance and staff was great and the owner stopped by at our table to greet and welcome us. We ordered classic Filipino dishes- like sisig, crispy pata, kare-kare and halo-halo and so we were very impressed with the flavor and taste of the food. Definitely recommend to all my friends and family

Food is good but they shouldn't add the service charge of 18% for 3 people. We ordered crispy pata, Guinataang Veggies and Pansit Malabon. Will come back only if there are 8+ people for the 18% service charge that they auto add in the bill.
