Filipino comfort food and classics. The owner is very nice as others have said. Flavor wise the food taste like a home cooked meal is how id best describe it. If your comparing it to a sit down Filipino restaurant like Gerry's the flavors here will be more subtle. The food rotates daily and she doesn't have a big spread like others. I think at most I saw 10 different foods. After some talking her bulk of business is catering and would imagine the food taste better freshly catered. I tried the diniguan, and pork adobo. The saltiness just right and the meat tender i didn't even have to chew. Id come here again for a casual meal when the Filipino craving hits again. It seems the business is dependent on the owner cooking, I would understand some frustration if the business hours don't open when they should if it's a one man show.

Amazing food. Every option is delicious and nutritious. It has a homemade feel, like mama used to make. The staff is extremely friendly. Great experience all together.

This place is a solid 2.
I would have given this place a 1* but the “nice” lady saved the day.
Come to think of it, I think she was being nice because she knows this place is on a serious downward trend.
The food looked sad when I saw it behind the display but I wanted to try Filipino food for the first time.
Rice was mushy and the pancit was dry and flavorless.
The pork adobo was just salty and flavorless, some pieces were tender while some were tough.
Longaniza was the saving grace here but it still tasted old. She could have given me one more because I can’t believe I paid $16 for a two item combo when I am calculating the food cost to be around $5-$6.
I don’t think this place will survive.
Beware of food places that are not attentive to customers, the food does not look fresh, and the person serving you is overly nice.
Avoid this one.

Just leaving this in because the number to call was very long but didn't go to the shop, we came by a bit ago only to see you were closed, but the strangest part was your front door was still open, hopefully whoever was working is ok. Will give you another review once you're actually open

We tried Halo Halo a delicious Filipino dessert with ice, ice cream, Jello, some type of beans and other dessert toppings.
Super nice owner lady. Family business for a long time. Make sure you try the Halo Halo. Please support and go eat at the restaurant.
