My family and I ate at this Filipino food establishment on 9-16-2026. I was surprised at their large menu, and that it included foods suitable for vegetarians like myself. I ate vegetable canton and halo-halo. Masarap sila (They were delicious). My father, mother, and sister liked their dishes.

There was an old man wearing a red shirt with a black kitchen apron. I appreciated him helping me guide my father, who has a neurodegenerative disease, towards the path...

This place has amazing food and a really good variety to choose from. They have traditional Filipino dishes, along with their own takes on sandwiches and other items using Filipino flavors.

The tapsilog is definitely different here. Instead of the usual thin slices of beef, they use thicker pieces that almost eat more like steak. The house-made lumpia was excellent, too.

The chicken inasal was interesting—it started off as just okay...
