Went there tonight, we got seated quickly because we are just 2. Was waiting for our order to be taken for an hour. We already called the attention of the manager and the waitress but no one took our order.

Long story short, we walked-in the restaurant undecided whether to order for take-out or dine-in but since the cashier was in a bit of a rush I ended up ordering my two items for take out (Halo-halo and Tocilog). A minute or two after I had already paid for my order, we changed our minds and ask to be seated .. my bad! I then asked for the halo-halo to be served at the table instead. Anyways, the cashier said it was okay and sat us down in a booth. We were unsure but for what it looked like, it was a change of shift. A couple servers passed right by us with NO eye contact. We probably waited close to about 30 minutes by the time someone actually took my friends’ order. Now, let’s go back to my “take out” order, you’d think it would be ready after all we’ve been sitting down with our glasses of water for the past 30 mins which took maybe another 20 mins for my friend’s order to arrive = 50 mins and still NOTHING. Where does the confusion lie?! There I was thinking the cashier understood the assignment but apparently not! :P

Come to find out, they were hesitant to provide service because I ordered for “take-out” and that they will not be able to add a “table” service charge since it was already paid for. It was never our intention to cheat them out on an extra $5-$7 tip, if that was the case. We had such a great laugh out of the situation so friend left a 35% tip!

Also, given that it’s located inside Lucky Chances, always expect to drive around a couple of times for parking and walk through clouds of smoke! Halo-halo was pretty good and the same goes for the Tocilog ºoº

Someone recommended the Goto here, and since we were in the area, we had to give it a try.

My husband and I arrived around 9 PM on a Monday night, and I was surprised by how busy it was for such a late hour. Luckily, we only waited a couple of minutes before being seated, and we were given menus right away.

We weren’t super hungry—just curious to try their Goto (beef tripe rice soup)—so we ordered that along with Lechon Kawali (crispy fried pork belly) on the side. I was hoping they had Tokwa’t Baboy to pair with the Goto, but the Lechon Kawali would have to do. Their menu is quite extensive, but we kept it simple.

Our food arrived after about 15 minutes. Despite how busy it was, our server was very kind and attentive throughout. The Goto was solid—the tripe was impressively tender and made the dish. The Lechon Kawali, however, was a bit underwhelming compared to versions we’ve had at other Filipino spots in our area. It also felt a little pricey, hmmm maybe pork is more expensive in Colma?

Filipino food was okay.

Service is excellent! Very attentive and patient staff.
My favorite is Kare Kare, too bad their bagoong is limited to one small serving per order. Also sisig is not available at lunchtime.

The lechon kawali and garlic rice is so good.

Having been to other Filipino restaurants, I wasn't expecting much as far as the food quality. I was blown away when I tried this place! I had the fish sisig and beef nilaga. Both turned out great, having literally very little to no grease. The restaurant has a cafe feel, nothing fancy or romantic. Service was above average, considering it was a busy Friday night. I'd have to say the food was well priced. It wasn't inexpensive, but it also wasn't overpriced like some establishments with lower quality food.

Halo halo was the best thing we ate

Solid spot for late night eats post club when we were in our 20s. Lots of people come here before or after the airport since they’re 24 hours. They have American, Filipino, and Chinese food. I love getting their silogs - meat, sunny side up egg, garlic fried. I like their tocino and bangus. They’re known for their kare kare and spaghetti. Their bangus Sisig is good and one time we just asked for Sabaw. The staff are super friendly and for birthdays we got a cheesecake! They have halo halo here too. Located at the lucky chances casino across from the cemetery. There’s a parking garage as well as parking lot outside and surrounding.

Since there was no choice but to go to the cemetery across the street, we came here for lunch.

The menu includes Filipino, Chinese, and American dishes.

My dad ordered the American waffle combo $18 the waffle was dry, I ordered the special of the day roast pork, it’s ok $19.90, and we also ordered HK style noodle, which was really bad, the noodles were old and not crispy, and the soup only had 4 shrimps and greens and mushrooms $21.

Service is nice .

Saturday lunchtime full house, omg . I think maybe most of people like us , no we here can go because we don’t want to drive far .
