I had ordered catering nearly two weeks ago and unfortunately, the service was quite disappointing!

I had called three days in advanced because I discovered that the following day I was planning to come in to place my order they were close. So I spoke with someone on the phone specifically telling them what and when I would be picking up. Come the day before I would pick up my order, I called to confirm that they indeed had my order. So I reiterated my order to confirm. I thought great, my order is confirmed! Come the day to pick up, I had my husband do so, so I gave him the details of what I ordered. He gets there, they have no record of my order and it will take 15 to 20 minutes to cook my order while the other food in the car that my husband picked up in the area are getting cold as well as another order he still has to pick up. Needless to say, when he finally arrived to the party with our food, some of them were cold. We already had guests arrived at the party just waiting around-which was an awkward situation.

I've ordered from them before with no issues, but for me to have spoken to two people about my order and then to pick up and they have no record of my order is indeed quite disappointing. Next them if I consider ordering from them again, I would have second thoughts, which is unfortunate because I really like their food.

Came here for lunch on a Thursday with a group, and we absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is so fun and welcoming, the staff was friendly and hospitable, and the food was delicious with a wide variety of Filipino dishes. The portions were generous and perfect for family-style sharing.

I also loved the decor, especially the little sari-sari store setup. It gave the restaurant so much character and made it feel extra special. Being able to sing karaoke was the cherry on top, and we had so much fun!

My favorite dish was the Lechon Kawali Kare-Kare. I’ve eaten kare-kare my entire life, made by family, friends, and at restaurants both here and in the Philippines, and this version was truly a game changer. The crispy lechon kawali paired with the rich, flavorful kare-kare sauce was absolutely incredible. 🙌🏼

This is definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious Filipino food, great service, and a fun dining experience!

Value - outstanding 12-13.99 a plate is honestly cheap in this economy.
Portion - outstanding - the plate is honestly can feed and be satisfied for 2 people. If you eat a lot I think it is perfect for you.
Taste - (I tried sisigsilog citrusy I like it a lot works well with fried rice and egg as well) very good
Efficiency - a good turnaround time even a busy hours
Freshness - looks and taste like they cook it on order not precook it and just heats it up.
Price - outstanding the meal to price ratio is honestly ridiculous in my opinion I don’t know how they making money on this.
Overall very happy with this place.

I gave one star for Kare-kare. The meat was hard to eat, no vegetables and too creamy and too sweet. I won’t reorder.

Came here for an early dinner around 15:30 on a Wednesday with my girlfriend. It was not busy at all and it's self-seating after you order at the counter. We ordered the corned beef tapsilog and the sisig tapsilog. They were very delicious. Thry were both delicious but I preferred the corned beef more. The water and sauces are self-service. There's a single bathroom and was maintained and clean. I would come back again.

Our old time favorite food! We came at 2pm after work. And the customer service was good! They greeted us even though they are attending to other customers.
