The unassuming front door hides a real treasure inside, like a little oasis in the city.

This spot has been on my list since I saw it shared by Kevin's Food Tour on Instagram in a post about ube treats in the DMV. So glad I finally was able to make it and we already cannot wait to come back!!

I visited this place with a couple of friends after hearing some mixed reviews, though most of them were positive, so we decided to give it a try 🍽️🙂. In the end, it turned out to be a really good choice. The restaurant has a relaxed and easygoing vibe. It’s not a fancy or luxurious spot, but it’s comfortable and perfect for sitting down, chatting, and enjoying a meal together.

We ordered several Filipino dishes to share so we could try a variety...

This place was a great find. The food is great and the atmosphere (daytime) was chill boho vibes. Service was excellent except for one server who was not friendly at all. The Filipino spaghetti was awesome, but just a tad bit too sweet. Ube pancakes and cheesecake were great. The ribeye skewers were tasty, but they didn’t ask what temp I wanted and I forgot to tell them medium so they came out well done. Yet, it was not so tough. Remember to specify temp. Can’t wait to return...
