I am not trying to be picky here, but I will say the truth. We ordered the chicken inasal, the fresh lumpia, ube boba, and pandan shake something. The fresh vegetable lumpia was heaven!!! It was a big serving, and the peanut sauce was the best! The chicken inasal on the other hand was not. The chicken inasal was probably sliced chicken breast. The chicken alone was tasty, but they added white sauce on top of the chicken. Tasted like mayo. Not sure if it was a good idea putting...

It's a small place for dine in but I liked the food. Got the mango graham drink and the sisig was decent. My other family members so got try a little of the chicken bbq, lechon kawali, chicken inasal, and vegetable lumpia were decent too.

Also, my parents got the cassava cake and ube cheesecake and thought it was great. Overall solid Filipino food and enjoyed the desserts more.

I'm an out-of-state Rutgers Filipino student, and this was my first year. I got pretty homesick recently, and I'm from the Washington, D.C. metro area, where there's a lot of Filipino food. This place has been my go-to, helping comfort me and reminding me of back home, especially when times have been a bit rough. I always ask for an adjustment to the egg and have it scrambled, which they do perfectly, along with their chicken and pork loganiza. Thank you :-)
