Disappointed with the new ownership of this restaurant. The food doesn’t compare to the old owners/cooks. I ordered through their website hoping to just pickup and go. When I arrived to the restaurant, the door was still locked. Then when they opened the door for me I told them I was there for pickup, they looked at me with a confused look. I proceeded to show them my paid order online. The lady then goes to the back to make my order, while making my order she is on the phone confirming my online order with another owner. One hour later she finally brings out the food I ordered and begins writing a ticket. I showed her my phone again to show her that it had been paid for already. She asked for a copy of the paid invoice, I obliged, then she sees that the prices were not updated. She then proceeds to give me a guilt trip about them losing money on this order. I finally get home to enjoy my meal, but ended up disappointed. The only thing good was the adobo fried rice, the pinapaitan barely had any liquid, the flavor was off. The kilawen kambing was not any better, part of the reason they took so long with the order is they couldn’t find the ginger. Instead of walking across the street to purchase some, they just decided not to include with my dish. Your experience might be different, but just sharing mine to enlighten you all so you won’t be disappointed like I was.

Ordered their Kamayan Set A to-go and all the items tasted good! Service was good as well. *Note: I ordered and paid through their online service. As of 06/18/2022, the pricing is not updated with their current menu price. I paid the difference when I picked up my order.

First time and loved the spread! Great selection of different type of Filipino cuisines! We got the kamayan A special and it was really good! This feeds 5-6 but there was plenty of food and leftovers for more than party of 5! The service was great and we even got fried turon, deep fried banana" as a complimentary treat My favorite were the lechon kiwali, adobo, & sweet potato leaves salad!!! I'm definitely coming back and going to try the karaoke which they said they do every night and it's BYOB!

Looking for a location to host a dinner with friends went to try the offerings of Dana's. Well what we ordered did not met the criteria I was looking for. The taste of the food was just average to my taste buds. Ordered the dry version of Dinugan. It tasted a little flat and had only pieces of pork and no inarards. Squid Guisado was good, but watered down in my opinion. Shrimp Sari Sari was loaded with veggies, but this too seemed to be watered down. The resturant was clean and seating was spacious. The service was friendly. Don't let this review stop you trying the food here. Stay safe.

My husband read i guess that this Filipino restaurant located in waipahu by the old big way supermarket and sato okazyu (now called Hashi). Was opened for dine in so he said we go try um. The food was ok. Not really to my taste it was lacking something. I tried other places and it was very good. Don't know if the different providence in the phillipines cooks differently. (Humm). The server was very friendly and the food does come out hot you know in the back is freshly cook made to order. Support the business if you in the area. Try um for yourself. We had squid quisado, sari sari, and dinaquan (chocolate meat). Sorry no picture of the chocolate meat maybe because I don't like pigs blood. (Haha).Sorry to mention they do have some American kind food too.
