SHOCKED at how good this place is!! Chicken was so tender it fell right off the bone. Lumpia was crispy and light yet filling. Service was great! If I lived closer, I’d be here every week. So delicious!!

This place had been on my list to check out for quite a while. I have actually been to their sister restaurant Lapu Lapu where they focus on awesome Filipino breakfast sandwiches, but needed to check out the mothership. I definitely was not disappointed.

So many great things on the menu but I narrowed it to the Sisig appetizer and the Pancit bowl for my first (of what will be many) visit(s). Both were excellent. The Sisig was robust and aides by some of their delicious jalapeno cream sauce. The Pancit had so much diverse flavor, even in the thin noodles themselves, that it didn't need anything, but adding their chipotle mayo to each bite definitely jacked up the flavor even more!

Great, friendly service and a small but well laid out restaurant.

Can't wait to return to try more things on the menu.

My partner and I went here for the first time the other day, and I’m already planning on taking my family when they visit. The food was phenomenal. The pork had crispy skin, contrasted with flavorful, juicy meat. The garlic rice was amazing, and the papaya slaw was the perfect contrast to all the rich flavors.

Minus 1 star because they didn't have my Topsilog( because it was sold out That's How Good It is) Other than that Delicious food Good amount of parking, good vibes with loud music depending on the day, They have a collaboration with A Bakery which is Good. I'll have to come back for that dish Would recommend. I'd go on a Thursday afternoon if you can, you'll understand why.
