So good!! I’m impressed! I can actually say that this might be the best Filipino food I’ve had in a long while. I thought California had the best Filipino food, I guess I’m wrong! No photos bc we butchered it haha! Great job guys!! Please come to middle Tennessee!

This isn't just one of the best Asian restaurants in Jacksonville, but one of the best restaurants in Jacksonville period. The atmosphere was both amazingly authentic and welcoming. Ordering is easy and straightforward, and our food -- four separate dishes -- was brought to the table within 10 mins. The food itself was incredible; being Filipino, I like to think I know a thing or two about our cuisine, and I'm happy to say you won't find better in the whole city.
