Came here the second time last Saturday , we love their food but the service was disappointing at first, was seated and nobody even greet and ask for a drink for at least 10-15 minutes, I’m a person that supports my fellow business owners, customer service is a must. No question with the food, Chef Jojo is excellent ? my husband and I love the traditional food with a twist. It’s hard to please my American husband when it comes to Filipino food, if he likes the food, we will definitely comes back even if the service is not up to par. I would’ve give 5 stars but need improvement with the service, Atmosphere still needs improvement but it will get there. I highly recommend this place for an authentic with a twist Filipino food?

Alright had to try this place since we love the food truck so much and it def did not disappoint. If you’re looking for a twist on traditional Pinoy food, this is the spot. The Kare Kare tacos were odd to say the least for this native Filipino, but it works!

First time here. The food was amazing. We came for lunch. We ordered fish balls, lumpia, pancit, and the chicken and rice bowl (can't remember the name). Everything was yummy. Served hot and fresh. We even ate the salad garnish because it was yummy. We will definitely be back!

This place was easy to find and in a nice little spot. It's a quaint restaurant with a lot of nice decor. Before we ate, the chef let us know he was formerly a food truck, now a brick and mortar store front. I tried the tea they had, and it was really good. I've never had lumpia, and had to cut the meat from the wrappers since it had gluten, but I used the sauce it came with to dip the meat in, and it tasted amazing. The sandwiches were next, and also yummy. I did take the bread off since I can't have gluten, but the toppings and pickles were great. The next two menu items were also delicious. I've never had fried egg before. I ate some of the egg white and mixed the rest into the rice. Couldn't even taste the yolk. I had also never seen the kind of magenta/fuschia chicken before, but it still tastes great. I took the few spicy pieces I could find, out, since it was super hot for me. The Uber cheesecake was also good. Tasted just like cheesecake. I just didn't eat the crust. This place is definitely amazing and I would love to go back sometime when I'm in the area.

I went for dinner for the first time today as part of a Yelp Elite event, and I wasn't disappointed at all. Parking is a little difficult to find, being that it's a shared parking lot. The restrooms here are clean and presentable as well. The food here is excellent, and Chef JoJo Hernandez did an excellent job. The staff here is friendly and did an excellent job as well. If you love authentic Filipino dishes, I highly recommend this restaurant as they just opened up this year. I'm definitely returning here again. Thank you for feeding me, Chef JoJo. You're awesome! :->

Our second visit here was even more enjoyable. ? We sampled different items and were pleasantly surprised to discover that it keeps getting better. Chef Jojo is spectacular ?This place has officially become our go-to spot for Filipino cuisine when we need our fix. The atmosphere is always welcoming and friendly. ??
