This Filipino spot blew me away. We ordered the Sulit Bilao #3, a massive kamayan-style spread served on banana leaves, and it was one of the most fun and satisfying meals I’ve had in a long time.

The platter had everything — grilled meats, lumpia, longganisa, chicharrón, shrimp, veggies, and rice — all packed with flavor and clearly made with care. Even the sides and dipping sauces were great.

Service was friendly, the vibe was relaxed,...
the 3 star for the service, it was fast. They advertise their "must have" sisig yet it came in a warm plate, not hot like how every filipino restaurant does, the egg on top not even being cooked, I had send it back to the kitchen and cook it more. It is definitely a "must have" to avoid it!

I should have listened to the other reviewers, it is indeed too SALTY ?and the buko pandan has no buko ? and way too much cream. There are other filipino...
Menu is huge and portions as well. We ordered one soup and once rice for 2 persons and we brought food home. There was one brisket soup that was very sour, be careful when ordering if you do not like it that way, the other one was delicious.
