Sat outside in some beautiful weather for a great brunch. Started with the arugula tostada and the cod churros. They were a bit salty for my taste, but still good. Then shared the pork belly salmon sandwich. It was mouth-watering as were the fries. Solid choice!

Made reservations through Yelp for a Saturday evening. Parking is valet only so you'll have to park on the street. We were able to park about 2 blocks away and paid metered parking. They were running a little late so we were seated a bit after our reservation.

Came for Sunday brunch. Not all their menu items were available because they just started dining in after Covid19. Tried Lolas Lumpia which was okay. Also tried Tapsilog and it was bomb.. so good

I tried this place once with a friend and I am obsessed ever since. I like the fantastic vibes and delicious food and drinks. Keep up the good work.

I was so excited to give this Filipino restaurant a shot. I was a little nervous ordering Filipino food for an office lunch, most of which have never tried Filipino food. We ordered: Sisig with creamy sauce This was one of the favorites. The sauce has that sweet onion, vinegar taste that's a trademark in authentic Filipino cuisine. Lechon Kawali: My favorite! It's crispy just the way I like it. Can't forget that bomb sweet mang tomas. Calamansi Wings: Not going to lie, I was pretty skeptical about calamansi wings but these were the Filipinos favorite. Good quality chicken wings to start. Nice crisp but not overcooked. The calamansi gives it that perfect zest. Garlic noodles: It looks so simple but when you try it you instantly know why this is one of their most popular items. Just try it and you'll understand why. Rice: Our Armenian co-worker couldn't stop talking about how good the rice is. She is gluten intolerant but she loved the hint of butter and garlic. Nice touch to something simple. I was fortunate to take a peek inside and saw the layout. I can't wait until these stay at home restrictions are lifted because I will definitely come by for good food, good drinks, good music and if you know Filipinos, a good party.

The taste was below average and over priced, esp for serving amount. I wouldn't mind if it was good, but was definitely disappointed in the quality. Would not come back.

I heard about this place a few time from friends and when family came into town decided it was the perfect time to check it out. 1) Drinks Amazing 4 or 5 rounds ordered 2) We had children under the age of 6 with us and they ate everything put in front of them. Garlic noodles...BIG HIT 3) Atmosphere was great, not too loud not too crazy busy The only issue we had was the parking was a little pricey and only accepted cash. Food and drinks were so great! Maybe if we find street parking next time we can amend the rating.

The most convenient restaurant! We were shown the menu and taken orders before seating so the food came immediately. The venue was good for big groups. I am deeply impressed by how they handled the service correctly with no hassles at all. Trust me! You will never be disappointed for sure! "5" stars for this restaurant's amazing food.

If we were to have any critique, my bestie says she would have appreciated a side to her Sammy. Which came solo. A side salad or some roasted potatoes. And for the duck confit, I wanted some type of bread to sop up the saucey goodness of the baked beans. Thankfully, Keith happily obliged me with some sourdough bread. Which, too, was yummy.

To be fair I decided to write about my dishes and the dishes the other folks ordered who dined with me. The two dishes I tried were not to my liking so on my rating alone would have been lower. After reading some of the reviews and the overall rating I thought this would be a great place for all of us to dine. I had the adobo chicken wings which were very small wings which resulted in the wings being dry. The seasoning was somewhat bland and tart. For my other dish I ordered the Short Rib Bao. The meat was very dry and bland even with the bulgogi sauce; the bun was somewhat dry and flavorless. My brother-in-law had the bistek which he thought it was a solid 4, he liked the grilled onions, likely fried crisp potatoes and he thought the meat was tender and flavorful. He shared a beet salad which they thought was good. His wife had a fresh lumpia which she liked. She thought the lumpia was lightly pan fried and not heavily seasoned which she liked. Our other friends tried the fresh lumpia, fried tofu and pan it. They thought the fresh lumpia was bland for their taste, tofu was dry but they liked one (soy sauce with green onions and a squeeze of lemon) of three sauces that came with the dish and they thought the pancit had good flavor and rated less than 4 stars.
I wish I had a photo of my time here but all I could say is WOW! Last night was my first time here and yooo their service... A1!! Loved the vibe, not a long wait, no crazy lines or confusion what's so ever! You get what you expect and see when you search up Barkada-- small portions of Filipino dishes. But good drinks, good food, good LIVE MUSIC (ugh they're amazing! All those throwbacks r&b!!!) it was a good experience for me, and the servers made sure we were good & we're comfortable! If you need a place to de stress and chill with good company... this is the place!

Very interesting decor, there's a wall full of Barkada ... Attentive service. They take the time to explain all the dishes if you ask. Looks like a great place for drinks, Barkada of people were just standing, crowded along the bar area. Seems like a fun spot to go for drinks on a date.

Friday night dinner. Our first time here. Our waitress Nicole was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with the menu. Helped us choose our first Filipino meal. Food was delicious. The bone marrow soup is a must try along with the Lechon kawali bites. Try their Filipino beer to quench your thirst,hard to choose which is the the tastier one .ambiance is on point with their Female DJs spinning music that makes you just want to get up and dance! Great service, outstanding food , fine tunes, you will not go wrong with Barkada.

We had a very nice meal and the portions are huge! Also a good kids menu. Casual dining but get there early as the lines can get long.
