We ordered lucenachon tray with chami noodles, plus the Laing. The flavors were on point. The pork belly Lechon /porchetta very tender yet flavorful, The Chami noodles had a tangy - ness which I found refreshing. We also had Laing with bonito flakes topping which was also good. Definitely worth its James Beard recognition. Kudos!

It always surprises me when the main dish a restaurant is known for isn’t actually the best tasting dish. The lucenachon was okay but the lechon kawali was the real winner. Service was fine as its self service in the restaurant. The trays state 2-3 people but I think personally there isn’t enough meat to say it’s for 3. Definitely 2. $5 for a can is absurd though.

Their pork was so juicy and tender, went really well with their house sauce. We were surprised with their noodles that come in the tray! Something new flavor for sure in a good way. It felt a bit pricey until we finished eating and how much food was left. The tray will be good for three people, so the price is actually quite reasonable for...
