After lunch, I stopped by here with my dad and boyfriend. We purchased the Leche Flan ($10) and Turon (5 pieces for $4.25). The Turon was really good. For those who do not know what it is, it's plantains wrapped in wonton skin in the shape of an egg roll, deep fried, and coated with a sugary syrup. The syrup, once dried, gives it an extra crunch. The plantains were unseasoned, so paired with the crispy sugar coating, it was a nice balance in sweetness. The Leche Flan was notably the worst flan we've ever tasted. The texture was grainy and very dense, as opposed to a light, soft, creamy, and silky texture that I would expect from a flan. I also found it odd that they listed yellow food coloring as one of the ingredients. I've made flan before, but have never used food coloring. The pale yellow is the preferred color that you naturally get from egg yolks, so there's no need to add artificial food color! Packaging was sticky and when I asked for a napkin, they just looked at me. I don't think they were necessarily rude, but perhaps there was a language barrier. I had wet wipes in my car so it wasn't the end of the world. This was a small to-go dessert place. They used every inch of it to showcase various desserts for sale. They also had a station where they had hot foods in trays and you could order traditional Filipino dishes such as adobo, pancit, lumpia, etc. My rating of only 2 stars was the result of the really bad flan.

POSITIVES:-Desserts: Tasty and delicious-Customer Service: SuperbLocation: Parking availability is good-Prices: Very fairNEGATIVES:-Cooked food like the pre-packed palabok and other pre-packed items are not refrigerated (scary)- They sit on the counter from the time the store opens until it closes-The aroz caldo, goto, etc do not have the correct holding temperatureLast week, towards the end of the day, the lady was pushing me and other people to buy the palabok for 1 buy and get the other free or half the price. She was also offering us the same deal with the aroz caldo and goto.I bought 1 palabok, asked her to microwave it and went to my car and took 2 bites and it was very sour and the sauce was bubling (nasty, nasty).Today, 7/13/23, I went back to the store and spoke with Gema, the manager and I explained to her the situation. I pointed out items that needs whole day refrigeration specially the palabok. I told her that they are exposing people to risk of food poisoning due to improper handling of food which included required holding temperatures for both hot and cold items. I told her that I know they make a lot of money and that they have to be super careful because they may face legal problems if someone gets sick or even die due to their negligence.I notice (and it is my biggest concern) that almost all Filipino food places, their pre-packed foods are not refrigerated nor properly warmed specially the palabok (which is my favorite). It is very scary!To the public who frequently dine out or buy pre-cooked food, always keep the Health Department's phone number (every city you visit) in your phone so that you can report unacceptable events you see in a food establishment instantly. I recommend not to argue nor be confrontational. Just maintain your business-like demeanor. Afterall, that is all that you are doing in business establishment: doing business. Nothing personal.It is not to harm or destroy other business, but to ensure that they stay longer in business by not getting sued due to their negligence. And most importantly, that the public (consumers) like you, your children, your parents and the likes of me are safe from the dangers of food borne illnesses.

Soo disappointed. I ordered a half tray of bihon pancit and there were a few veggies and barely any chicken!! We had a group being introduced to Filipino food and this was a total bust! It was 90 percent noodles! Terrible and so sad! I did buy a small cassava cake and buko (brown). Those were okay. Please don’t waste your money here. ☹️

Delicious Filipino desserts! They have a variety you can choose from. All the ladies that work there are also very sweet and helpful.It is located in a shopping center, that was pretty busy but I found parking pretty fast.

02/04/23- I've been here several times. Good selection of Filipino desserts. I ordered 2 days before 200 lumpia for about $120 and a large pancit for $60 and 2 dessert plates. It was ready to go on time. Very good. I would suggest trying a little of everything. See the photos.

Rude worker thinking she's so entitled to everyone has an attitude and talks back when we were asking for something completely different. Food isn't good, debating if they're not expired...or even cooked. Don't waste your time or moeny and find some place where the workers and food won't ruin your mood. do better. :) <3

I've been here numerous times when I was younger and never really had an issue. However, after the pandemic, their customer service and food quality plummeted greatly. My family members purchased lumpia from this place a few months ago, and they were *sour* and had signs of freezer burn. This meant that they were in the freezer waaay too long and the meat was no good. After we had called them to simply let them know, the lady who answered the phone gave attitude saying "Well then bring it back then" and we had said that we weren't trying to have any issues but just wanted to tell them so other customers wouldn't complain (with the possibility they are worse than us simply calling).Recently, Saturday 11/19/22, I had purchased 3 bags of their boiled peanuts. I was craving these for soooo long! By the time I came home, I noticed the first peanut had a worm like insect in it and had told my mom, she said it's normal since the peanuts are in the ground and to not think much of it. I continued to eat them UNTIL I opened multiple and noticed the eggs of MAGGOTS. There were a few that had full grown maggots and some with baby eggs in it. I showed my mom again and we ended calling them again and they said in Tagalog to return the peanuts and "show them" so they can give my money back ($3 per bag). What made it worse was that my mom was being approachable and telling them concerned, no attitude or yelling, but they had a mocking-annoyed tone when addressing us and the maggots.When we got there, there were still bags of peanuts still out for sale! When we showed them the bowl, the two ladies were just saying oh its normal and that they'll give us *store credit* instead. I opened all 3 bags of peanuts and numerous peanuts opened had the maggots in it. Clearly the maggots were dead since the peanuts were cooked but still. They insisted on store credit and kept saying "What do you want" numerous times when I told my mom I didn't really want anything. We got 2 Desserts and they gave us a bag and we left. Still, they had the other bags of peanuts out...

If you ever need to bring something to a potluck, you can order 50 pieces of lumpia from here and I guarantee they will be a hit. I ordered earlier in the day for a 6pm pick up. They came out hot, fresh, and with a couple containers of sweet and sour dipping sauce. Aside from the lumpia, they have other food but as the name implies, they have a ton of desserts. My favorites are ginataan, ube puto, kutsinta, and hopia and I never leave without picking up one of those.

I ordered a #4 dessert tray and it was delicious! Kept for several days. Unfortunately, the first one I bought fell out of my SUV when we thought the trunk was closed, so I had to order another one and it was ready when we got there and she even gave us a discount because she felt bad for us! Exceptional customer service!

Quaint little place, the desserts there were freshly made and some were still warm from the stove.

You discovered Filipino Desserts Plus while exploring this plaza. I picked up sone tasty treats to try: halo halo, ginataan bilo-bilo, cassava suman, and ube biko. Halo Halo gad potential. I watched the lady use the ice crushing machine to pack the crushed ice on top of my halo halo, so I was so surprised that the crushed ice on top hardened into a big ball of ice. I couldn't break it with a straw or with a plastic spoon. I ended up removing the big ball of ice to eat the halo halo. In all my years of enjoying halo halo, this is the 1st time I've had an issue with ice. So weird. -1 I thoroughly enjoyed the ginataan bilo-bilo and ube biko. Perfect textures and flavors but just a tad too sweet for me. The cassava suman was freshly made, warm and sooo good. +3 Customer service was excellent. The lady was quick to answer questions and friendly. +1 Parking is ample since the parking lot is large. +1
