In general the atmosphere is lively and the food is tasty. However, I'm a bit peeved about the appetizer we received. We ordered lumpia shanghai (the app), fish, and the grilled chicken and garlic rice.The rolls that came looked different from the ones I've seen in pics and compared to the table next to us. The table next to us had whole rolls like the pic I compared it with but we got 6 rolls cut in half. The menu states its 12 spring rolls ($13). Either they were pressed for time and cut corners on our dish or they suddenly changed the presentation after the table next to us got lumpia. I don't know what happened but I don't think this was fair. We did not mind waiting if that is what was needed for us to get FULL ROLLS because we had to wait a bit for our chicken dish to come anyways. The chicken didn't come with garlic rice either. We didn't ask to change that bc we had gotten a large garlic rice to share anyways. I will say however, the white rice was cold and dry. The large rice portion is really for 2-3 ppl not 3-4 as listed.The atmosphere is lovely as they were doing karoke and practically everyone was singing. That was a fun sight.Besides the appetizer thing, meal was good. I don't think I would come again though. I wouldn't frequent a place that serves inconsistent food qualities.

The food was bad & overpriced. Unfortunately, I didn't like anything I ordered and it was their highly recommended dishes. The lighting in the restaurant was too bright. The light shines into your face. Very uncomfortable setting.

Good service but I was seated next to I guess the supply closet which stunk. Unpleasant smell made my experience terrible. Food was alright.

Came here for the first time and had a great brunch! My friend had the beef tapas flakes and I had the bistek and buko juice. Both hit the spot! The really nice decor and music playlist was also added to the great vibes.

Grabe!! I ordered chichapollo and pork adobo and what I got was beyond terrible. The chichapollo was BURNT!!! And I don’t know what is that dish I received posing as adobo but that is not it! What I got was what seemed to be ONE piece of pork belly and some sad and dry potatoes and one boiled egg… no sauce! I grew up eating adobo and this place should be ashamed of serving/delivering this pathetic version of pork adobo. Either that or I received the wrong dish. Nevertheless, I am appalled and will never order from here again. Nakakahiya kayo! Wala itong maipagmamalaki bilang isang Pilipino! Terrible!

DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE BUSINESS.I had a friend visit from Ireland that wanted to try Filipino food for the first time. Choosing this place was a terrible idea. My friend was so turned off and unsatisfied. And as a Filipina, I am ashamed of this establishment.We ordered via Seamless: We ordered 2 main dishes and one appetizer. Ginataang shrimp had 3 MEDIUM SHRIMPS! ONLY 3!! We had to pay extra $3 for 3 shrimps! It’s ridiculous! They gave us so little rice… Chinese spots give more rice than what we got. We also ordered lumpia shanghai and it cost $13… for 10 pieces! And the kare kare barely had any sauce so it was dry and lumpy.You couldn’t pay me to order from this place again. You guys are lucky we ordered online and not sat down to eat or else we would have walked away without paying a dime. Stop cheating customers! This is shameful and not something a Filipino should be proud of.

Was there with a group of people. A bit disappointed. Food wasn't good as it usually is in Woodside. Chicharon bulaklak was undercooked. Tokwat Baboy was so so. The waiter we got wasn't friendly. Then even after the fact that we reserved the table for an immense amount of people they were cleaning up our space even though we still had food on the table. They were rushing to kick us out because we weren't ordering anymore. That to me is bad customer service. I've never seen anything like it. It was my first time and probably will be my last.

Food was good, although our chicken Inisal came out 20 mins after the rest of our parties. The server also charged us a cover charge which we were never told about otherwise we would not have dined in. Very unprofessional server but otherwise good.
The food was good but 2 of our plates were 15 minutes late and there was a $10 person cover charge they didn't warn us about at the beginning. It's a shame.

Food is really good. Hubby and I would come back again. We came on a rainy Saturday afternoon, so the place was empty. The food came out very quickly. Looks like they do karaoke here, but while we were here they were playing Spanish music. They gave us space and did not hover, so that was very nice. They try to make the place nice and hip. But you can tell the building itself is worn. Not their doing. But overall a good vibe. Overall, we highly recommend. And we'll be back.

Really disappointing meal. Our group ordered 8 dishes so we tried a good amount of food. The fried squid was super oily (the squid looks impressive but it was dripping with oil all over the table and utensils) and the other dishes (oxtail, chicken adobo were tiny portions with limited meat) and fish (gloopy sweet sauce) were just not very good. The flavor of the lechon meat was good but the skin was chewy. I mean c'mon man, the skin is the best part and should be crunchy! The wait staff rushed us to order but once we got our food they never came back once to check on us. I was not really surprised to see a service charge already added to the bill since there were 6 of us but c'mon put in a little effort to earn your mandatory tip. I've had filipino food before and it's delicious. I really wanted to like this place. Overall the entire experience from the food to the staff just felt like a lazy effort. I will definitely look to try other filipino restaurants in the area but I don't plan to be back at this place again.

I ordered chicharon bulaklak over the phone. On the menu list is my is priced $8.95 and the guy told me it’s not a lot and only good for 1 person; so I ordered 2. When I picked it up my bill was $36.01 and the guy told me it’s now $15 and change. Seriously!!!! They should update the menu and price list. And he was right it was not alot. Not worth $15 and change at all .So disappointed

We ordered Kare-Kare, Crispy pata, sizzling sisig, ginataang puso ng saging, tilapia, sagot gulaman and halo-halo, and they all taste authentic pinoy food. Cravings satisfied and friendly staff! Definitely recommend this restaurant.
