Visited here in 2020 and was glad to finally be back and eat all my favorites! This is the Ube Pancakes and we also ordered the lechon kare kare and squid adobo. Everything was a fresh take on filipino food and so delicious! Glad we were able to come back 4 years later!

The food was good. I have to say they're adobo fried is better then Elena's but that's my opinion. We dined in service was ok that why it's only 4 star but food was ok. The pork skin was fresh she was popping lol.

Food/ very tasty, seasoned nicely, lechon kawali was the most delicious. We ordered the 3 choice plate- pan it, pork adobo and pinakbet. Also ordered lechon kawali and veg lumpia. Obviously, we were hungry- two of us! Service/ Young man and upbeat older woman were both very attentive, very nice. Refill on Diet Coke was quickly recognized, and more lemon slices were given upon request. Ambiance/ very clean, neat and inviting. Framed saying on their wall were all positive, encouraging words and very humbling. This was our first visit here, as newly transplanted mainlanders. I am so happy we discovered this Filipino restaurant. Brings back nice memories of the Filipino food we used to eat back home on Guam. I think I like this place more than JulieZ, in Kapolei.

Outstanding food and customer service. It's quick to get your food and reasonably priced. You definitely get what you pay for.

This place suck suck suck. Don't waste your money on here. Came with my sister awhile back and ordered a combo plate. I ordered chicken adobo as one of my choices and they only gave one small piece of chicken from the adobo! Wtf combo is that? Also, spent 15+ for it. If I wanted one piece of meat, could have went to Popeyes or kfc for a $3 piece chicken!

12/26/23 approx 6pmAlmost everything we wanted to order, they were out and didn't have. We ordered chicken pizza, kids liked it, Sarisari was decent. I ordered the 3 choice, lechon, I had the burnt dried ends, mungo beans, was decent, and gisantis, which was cold and burnt. Husband ordered the pinapaitan, it was decent just, its served in a small bowl hardly any gravy, asked to have more gravy, she adds it to my bowl, which now has a saucer with gravy spilling everywhere. Our 1st server was nice and courteous. The other one needs to work on her customer service ? when she brings our food there is no interest or concerns our bowls were plated sloppy and rice was cold. We left most of the food we ordered and just took home the pizza. Not sure if we'll ever go there again. I recommend you call ahead and make sure they have what you want.My husband said, don't waste your time or money, go to Juliez, Elena's, or Thelmas!
First visit was Tuesday, 12/26/2023 @ around 1PM. (First Time trying this place out) When I entered, there were 2 tables with families. The server/host was busy at the moment we walked in preparing a few things for the tables that were already sat. Once she finished helping them, she greeted us and asked how many people, I said 2, which was just my aunty and I. We were given menu(s) told her give us a moment as this was our first time here. About 5 minutes after, we told her that we were ready to order our food. I ended up ordering the entrees family style. Lechon Kawali: $17.75 This buggah was super ono, not to salty and perfectly crisp skin. They gave us a bottle of the vinegar which man I had to put a lot of it within the dish which gave it a lot of flavor IMO. Chicken Adobo: $16.25 Man oh man, when I took a bite of this super tender fall off the bone chicken adobo. It felt like I was eating at my best friends grandma's house. Cooked to perfection the salt to vinegar ratio was perfect to my liking. Fried Pork Lumpia: $9.50 Tasted perfectly amazing besides it being super hot cause it just came out of the fryer. My dumb self couldn't hold my composure and wanted to eat it right away, without thinking that it was freshly made to order. We subbed regular rice for garlic rice. Man did they hook us up with lots of garlic in the rice. 5/5 Service, Food and Ambiance I'd come back again and try other things off their menu. I usually go to Thelma's but I wanted to try a new place. Shay's did not disappoint me one bit. Mahalos to the staff whom was working that day.

Came in here with a bunch of my sister's friends visiting. Wasn't expecting such big portions and everything knocked it out of the park. The dishes that stood out the most to me was the pork adobo (incredibly tender and rich depth of flavor) and the ube pancakes (everything you want out of a pancake but it doesn't get sad and soggy even after 20 minutes) but everything else, from the fried rice to the shrimp soup and the fried chicken were all excellent and we were all very happy and very full at the end. Props to your Instagram ad lol.

We use to really like this place. But today a big fail. My boyfriend ordered adobo fried rice earlier today. And as he was eating it tonight he found a piece of wire in the food. Lost his appetite after that.

Always enjoy eating filipino food, and this used to be our go-to place. Like most places, the prices have gone up, but food is still delicious. Wasn't crowded when we arrived, and food came to the table pretty quick. Atmosphere is always nice
