You dont have to go to National City when you're jonesing for that longanisa, babe! Just drive on up to North Park and see the manongs at White Rice. Ube everything all day, whether its the milk tea or pandesal. You cant go wrong with Chicken Adobo.

If you're truly adventurous: Longanisa is a must.

Great atmosphere, service and PRICE!

This is far from being Filipino food

Okay first problem they got rid of the well known lechon kawali. When I tell you how upset I was. Wasn’t that the most popular dish? Why on earth would they get rid of that?So I got this other grilled pork rice dish. I had to omit some things because I can’t eat chilis. It was very dry. My friend got the same thing with everything on it and hers was still dry as well. I literally could not finish it. I had to take it home to doctor it up. Maybe there under new management (website isn’t working) but I will not be returning until they bring back the lechon kawali. I brought my friend there for that dish and they no longer serve it.

I’ve given this place three chances and the last two times the food was terrible. I won’t be returning. The mushroom sisig was gross. Dry clumpy rice, no flavor. The lumpia was decent but overall this place is not worth the money.

had the chicken adobo.
Some feedback: the best part of adobo is the sauce. There was no sauce.

I get that you have to tailor it towards American diners, but the sauce is the best part of adobo. Otherwise it tastes like High School cafeteria food.

Alright, alright. I tried their Pork Sisig over Garlic rice. It was like eating cube fried firm tofu. Good portion, just need some flavoring. Slap some mayo and add calamansi juice and vinegar up in that bowl! The garlic rice, y'all buy some calrose rice, what is this long grain cheap rice? Ay Nako! And use fresh garlic rather than powder. I wouldn't even mind paying $2 more if ya'll make this dish fire in the future. Once you perfected this, have an uncle try it if it's pulutan approved

I tried longanissa and rice and eggs it’s good pandesal is very good lumpia I’ll be honest it’s nothing close to the real texture wise and the inside I will say the authentic one is more meaty w good wrapper texture other than that staff are very nice and great ambiance please redo the lumpia recipe so diff race won’t feel sad about it

We definitely enjoyed our food, and now I know why I wasn't the only one getting a little extra protein with my meal. The flies must have gotten the memo about how good the food is—it’s an outdoor restaurant, so they're basically just the uninvited, buzzy dinner guests.

We ordered the pork sisig and chicken tocino. The tocino was a sweet dream, but the sisig had me feeling a little homesick. It was great, but where's the sour and savory sidekick? A little soy sauce and calamansi (or at least some lemon) would have been the perfect power duo to truly take me back to the Philippines.

All in all, it’s a great spot for that quick Filipino fix. Just be prepared to share.

Food quality has definitely gone down in the past few months, while prices have increased.

Brought a friend and told him it was good, but I hadn’t been back in a while and did not know it had gone downhill so much. How embarrassing! This looks and tastes like cafeteria food and was mediocre at best. The lumpia was over fried and flavorless, the chicken adobo bowl was so sad and had NO adobo flavor it was just dry chopped up pieces of chicken breast and the ube pan de sal was stale. Like two day old bread stale. Very disappointing. Will not be back. I didn’t even take a photo because it was such a sad looking bowl. The staff was nice enough but save your money.

I've been going here for 3 years. The quality of food has definitely changed. I noticed it when the menu took out the Filipino names (I'm guessing to cater to non-filipinos), but I think the quality control can be improved. It's become more bland, and the pork sisig I got tasted like someone who definitely does not know what sisig is supposed to taste like. Some of this maybe financially influenced. I worked at a Hawaiian restaurant once and the owner saved money by switching from spam to a generic luncheon meat (which was very noticeable). I don't know if that's happening here, but I do know that the employees definitely make or break the quality and service. I'm hoping to update this review in a few months with better reviews because I really enjoyed it when I first tried it a few years ago.
