We ordered for pick up and waited more than 30 minutes. The line was all the way outside the door and people in line were getting pissed because this restaurant had 1 cashier both for dine in and pick up.
The pick up time for the food was 1215pm. Because of the ridiculous agonizing wait, when the food was given and handed to us, it was cold.
How does a restaurant function with 1 employee? We will NEVER go back to this restaurant ever again!

Good food but is it really worth the wait anymore? Called ahead for the 4th time and no one answers the phone. I understand things can get busy but the management should already figure this out by now. They know thier peak hours but I guess they decide to do nothing about it. When I get to the line, the cashier mentions that there is nothing they can do about it and they just dont answer the phone. Also, the grill is closed after 430 I believe so dont even bother driving to the store to wait in line.

Better just fly to Philippines. You will probably get served faster there or one of the other local filipino resraurants. Done with this place for wasting time.

Cheaper than manila sunset in Rancho Cucamonga but their noodles was dry and bland.

Hmmm… very mixed reviews about this place. I came to this place for the first time in a while, probably in over a year, just last Thursday. I’m actually sitting inside right now waiting for my order as I type this. Today will be my 3rd time here in the past 6 days. 😅

The food here is so simple, very affordable, and very good! I don’t know why I haven’t returned here sooner. Rice, meat, and a bowl of soup is all I need to be happy. Simple life.

I got the the Manila Pork BBQ (which has become my favorite). You get a good portion for only $10.39. In this day and age, that is very affordable in my opinion. I also got a side of the Goto soup, which you also get a decent portion and this was only $4.99, again very affordable for the amount you get. You also get a free side of complimentary sinagang soup. All can be seen in my pictures.

Only negative review I have is, yes if you get caught here when a bunch of people show up at the same time, your order can take some time to receive. Even still, Overall 5 ⭐️

Very bad food, even an insect came out on my plate of food and the waitresses were very rude. I do not recommend the place at all. Very bad experience.

First time for me and my family to visit. It was confusing because all tables were occupied. We inquired if we can dine in but the person atbthe counter didnt care at all. She was rude and frowned the entire time. Luckily a couple left and we immediately seated ourselves. We asked for their menu, again the lady at the counter rudely pointed us to their menu overhead but two we selected were not available.
I wouldn't recommend this place at all
Unless, you are very hungry and this is the one one open.
Try other restaurants nearby. There is Jollibee and Chowking instead.

The customer service front desk should be mindful of the people in line. If a customer ahead cannot make up their mind on what to order, the cashier should politely ask to give more time to that customer and serve the other people in line. I waited for 15 minutes because I was behind the customer in front of me. No apologies at all. This is not the first time this happened. The funny thing was I only wanted to order goto and it took me less than a minute to order.

They open at 10am but some food on the menu aren't available until 11am. Also, it's hot inside. I was sweating the while time I was eating. You eat in a place that looks like you're in manila, you eat food that makes you feel like you're in manila, but you also feel like you're in manila because there's no AC or Fan

Food is always delicious, authentic Filipino. Worth the wait (had to wait about 40 mins for takeout- it gets busy, food is made to order).

Really good food at really affordable prices. I went with two adults and two little kids, and shared the fresh and fried lumpia, pancit, and chicken, and everything was really good and it was pretty cheap to feed all of us. portions are good, food is tasty. I was visiting, but if I lived nearby I would probably come here all the time
