Our group enjoyed the food! always on the search for for new Filipino spots in the city. Despite being a reversion we still waited for a table, but once sat the rest of the experience was pretty good.

The skirt steak and ube chorizo sandwich were incredible. I’d definitely order those again. We also enjoyed the sizzling tofu, longanisa, and mango banana French toast. The popcorn chicken with adobo glaze was delicious, but the tamarind glaze version only included the dry rub with no sauce. I would order the former again but not the latter. Bonus points for being a part of the inKind network.

We visited Cebu for brunch on a Sunday morning. The restaurant is clean and bright. The staff were very friendly.
I enjoyed the Milo drink it brought me back to being a little kid in Australia drinking Milo. We shared the breakfast burrito and Ube French Toast. The burrito was great. The French toast was bright purple and good but not as much flavor as I expected.
Overall we had a great experience and would go back.

Great food, nice, warm atmosphere and good service. We had the Longanisa Breakfast and Tocilog. Both dishes were very tasty and good portions. Coffee drinks also very good. Restaurant was clean and everyone working was very nice. We will go again next time we’re in town.

From the moment we walked through the door, my party and I knew we were in for a special evening. The dining room has a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere—vibrant and alive, but still cozy enough for an intimate meal.
Our exceptional experience began with the host, who greeted us with a genuine, warm smile. Despite it being a busy night, they made us feel like the most important people in the room and were able to seat us at a perfect table with no fuss.
Our server was an absolute superstar. They were knowledgeable about the menu, guiding us through the options and offering insightful recommendations. We started with the Lumpia , and our server enthusiastically explained the flavor profile of the sweet chili sauce, making us even more excited to dig in. Their attentiveness was flawless—our drinks were always full, and they checked on us with perfect timing throughout the meal.
Now, for the main event ,the food! The Lechon Kawali was a revelation. The pork belly was cooked to absolute perfection, with skin that was shatteringly crispy and meat that was tender and juicy. The deep-fried crispy exterior gave way to a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that left us speechless. We also ordered the Filipino Ribs, and they were incredible. The meat slid right off the bone, coated in a sticky, savory glaze that had just the right amount of sweetness and tang. Both dishes were clearly prepared with passion and a deep respect for authentic Filipino flavors.
But the real standout of the night was the Crab Pancit. It arrived with a beautiful presentation. The rich seafood sauce, making each bite an explosion of savory flavor. It was the perfect balance of savory and briny, and the portion was incredibly generous. This dish is pure comfort food elevated to a gourmet level.
This restaurant is a must-visit. The delicious, high-quality food, combined with a wonderful setting and the kind, professional staff, creates an unforgettable dining experience. I’m already planning my next trip back to try the other delicious-looking options. Highly recommended!

Food was amazing! Only complaint is where the hostess sat us. We were sat on one side of the restaurant where most people were. Not sure why they wouldn’t seat people more spread out. But they sat us right next to a big party and were being way too loud. Service could’ve done a better job at addressing the issue and not say “sorry what could I do”. If it takes that much of bare minimum effort to be a server and hostess, honestly sign me up.

Service was ok, but I personally found the food underwhelming for the price. A $15 dessert made with canned fruit felt disappointing, and for $120 covering three entrées and dessert, I expected a higher level of quality
