They serve food cafeteria style. Food here is mediocre. Service is good. The place has a couple of tables to dine in.

Portions for catering are generous; feels like a bigger version of the more familiar sari-sari stores back in the Philippines, very welcoming and nostalgia-inducing

If you're in the area and would like to check out samplings of Philippine style meals, they have many of them here. I enjoyed mine: pork stew in curdled blood (or dinuguan) plus sweet pork cuts (tocino) with rice. This place also offers many other items from the Philippines and so I did some shopping for snack food items. You basically can't eat inside anymore. Everything is to go and so it's better to call before you arrive so they can prepare, as they suggested. I am surprised they have been there for 20 years and so that shows they're doing good.

It's been there for at least 20 years, would you believe that? That shows they are doing well. Nowadays, you call them ahead for your orders and pick them up ready when you arrive. You can do shopping for certain Philippine brand items in there. Their food items are those you choose for a to-go lunch or next meal. Very tasty, at least the dinuguan (blood curdle pork stew) & tocino plus rice. My friend and I ate our lunches in the car parked by the front of the store.Homey atmosphere for my tastes. Don't expect anything fancy or that pretty. But they really cook their foods rather well.

Good but I feel like it's a bit pricey compared to Phil Am Store at Tompkins.On the other hand,. customer service is great and home cook meal hits home!?
First time visiting, I tried 2 of my favorite dishes, diniguan was tasty & yummy, and the BBQ pork on a stick is really good too.Friendly people too.

Wanted to eat Filipino food. Staten Island is very limited in choices. Me & my daughter (we don't speak Tagalog) waited patiently for someone to take our order (we were the only people there!), we literally stood in front of the steam table and verbally asked to make an order. We were ignored, I thought maybe they were busy. While we waited, in came a Filipino man and he was taken care of quickly (strike one). Once he placed his order we were allowed to place our order. There are no prices on anything, but the 4 small plastic bowls of food & a regular size piece of fish came out to $65 (strike 2). I give them the benefit of the doubt with covid inflation & I didn't ask the prices, I "assumed" pricing would be like a Chinese restaurant. The food was extremely salty. All the different foods we got tasted the same, the salt destroyed it. Not sure about the MSG, but I definitely had a screaming headache immediately after eating the food (strike 3). So if you're into high priced take out food, bad service, want your blood pressure to spike and a MSG rush this is your place!
