This place was great. The moment we walked in the door, there was a sense of them just genuinely wanting to take care of us. We have a family of 6, and they took the time to make sure everybody had something they would enjoy. Anything they have up front, they’ll taste test with folks. Don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with Filipino food. They make sure that you’re going to be happy with your order. The space is old, but they’re just starting out. If we want them to be able to afford a better space, we need to help them get it.I enjoyed everything we got in our family. Everyone enjoyed trying something new, and we have some with pretty significant texture challenges. Strongly recommend!Kid-friendliness: First thing they asked was about any allergies, then what preferences around meat were. They were really happy to work with our kids to figure out what they might like. Taste tests, asking about preferences and ingredients. They really went the extra mile.

I ordered the pork adobo meal, and man was it something else. Absolutely delicious, savory, tender, juicy!The staff were absolutely, pleasantly lovely to talk to and very welcoming to their simplistic establishment, one of which I highly recommend a stop for lunch or dinner whenever you get a chance.You will not be disappointed!

We went on the recommendation of a colleague and we were glad we listened! It was very busy on a Friday evening but the two women running the restaurant had everything under control. They were very generous and kind and patient with everyone, despite being busy.The food was delicious. I got the chicken adobo combo which came with lumpia, pancit noodles (which I may have misspelled entirely), and rice. Food portions were massive, and all of it was delicious. My chicken was fall off the bone and the sauce had a nice subtle spice. My partner got the BBQ pork, which was flavorful, and I tried my friend’s chicken curry and their pork belly— all delicious! I want to go again to get the curry.I was shocked to get such high quality Filipino food in Southern Illinois, and really enjoyed my time. The back room is a casual eatery, and they make it cozy with their lighting and decorations.The service was fantastic even though they were slammed and they let us stay way past closing talking, as they were wrapping up the night.Make it a point to support this business! I know I will— it is truly a gem! If you’re in town, you should definitely check it out.

Went here for the first time last night with some friends. The food is great and a lot of it for not much, and the women who run the place are wonderful. Will be back for sure.

Everything we ordered was so good! I’ve never had such flavorful tacos, and the wife’s pho was great! Even how we were greeted at the door, and the free taste testing was unique and helpful if you're unsure what to get. Host even asked about any dietary restrictions to base recommendations off of! Can’t recommend this place enough, and will definitely be back ?
