    “The green beans with tofu are absolutely delicious! If you’re lucky enough to grab a bowl before they sell out, definitely try them. The goat meat stew is another favorite in our family my husband loves it, and it sells out quickly too. We live about 25 minutes away, so we always call ahead to make sure they still have the green beans and goat meat stew before making the drive. The staff is always so kind and will even set portions aside for us to pick up, which we really appreciate! The food is delicious, the staff is incredibly nice, and we always look forward to coming back. ❤”

    “I love tthe Hopia here!! I tried the onin flavor, the ube flavor, and the jack fruit flavor. I took photos after each bite because the flaky inside needs to be appreciated. All the flavors were great, but my favorite was the jackfruit. I could have eaten 10 of them. The customer service here is GREAT. The young man who helped me was very helpful and friendly. I can't wait to come back to get more delicious hopia. You must try it. Eat up!!!”

    “Came here before they opened. There were still plenty of parking. But this place is always hard to find parking in. We were seated right away when we arrived. Ordered our food. Being that we were first to be served, we got our food fairly fast. Kare kare was very good. Crispy pata was nice and crispy. Chicken was, of course, the best because they are famous for their chicken. The laing was also very good.”

    “Hands down the best pan de sal in National City! I grew up eating pan de sal from another household name in the area and always just accepted them as the standard. However, I recenty tried Trining's pan de sal and I couldn't believe how good it was! Subtly crispy and crumby on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, and a wonderfully balanced with buttery, milky, sweet, and ever so slightly salty flavors. Eating pan de sal from other places feels simply like eating a staple food but eating Trining's pan del sal is an absolute treat! It even tastes great after a few days as long as you keep them sealed or airtight. The best part is that their pan de sal quality has been consistent the many times I've had it since. Other items I enjoy from Trining's: Beef empanada, pork siopao, and cheese balls”
