We stopped in for our first time tonight and will definitely be back. They have a full menu or you can visit on Sunday for the buffet. If you're not familiar with Filipino cuisine do go for the buffet, you'll get to try so many delicious dishes!

The food is delicious. Definitely a hidden gem. I'm glad to have found this place. Plus the owner is a veteran. I am a veteran. Go and support your local veteran you won't be disappointed.

Friendly servers. He talks too much. Very slow service. Food is ok
