My friend and I had to wait more than an hour for one plate of noodles. Received zero updates or apologies. Additionally, it was boiling hot inside the restaurant even though it was cool outside. The overall the experience was tainted by the mediocrity of the food, service, and timing.

Holly Sh:$!!! What a cool place, limited menu but the flavors are insane. The butter fish is better than going to Japan and getting it. Service… ummm it doesn’t get any better.
Highly recommend trying it. Annie and Isa provided excellent service!

The orders took forever to be served, disappointed due to the delayed serving.

Very dissapointed by the food at this place. Very oily and everything had a sweet flavour like if they added sugar to literally everything.
We had 3 dished and they were all bad, especially the noddles. Also this place is expensive. I regret spending 200 dollar for such bad food quality. Cocktails are ok but very small.

Great place, good food, awesome service!

Brock Noseworthy

Excellent food, and a great atmosphere with very personable staff. Essa (sp?) and Jordan were great. Highly recommend the duck dumplings, the brussel sprouts (trust me!), and the lychee martini. Will be going back for sure!

To celebrate my wife's upcoming birthday, we enjoyed a wonderful evening out withthe captivating musical "Come From Away". My wife was very impress with the show and said it one of the best musical she seen

For dinner, we dined at the newly discovered restaurant 'Mother Tongue', where the ambiance was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and the cuisine was exquisite. Every dish ordered surpassed our expectations. Our selections included: General Tao Bun - highly recommended, Grilled Liempo Skewer, Duck Dumplings - highly recommended, Butterfish Kinilaw, Korean Beef Short Ribs, and Miso Sticky Toffee Pudding. We intend to return and sample additional menu offerings. I strongly recommend this establishment.

awful experience. found 2 long hair in the short ribs, service was slow, took 45 mins to bring a desert that was premade, they did not even bring a replacement after finding the hair in the food. the rest of the food was mid at best. would never dine here again and wouldn’t recommend it. menu is smudged, tasting menu showed $35 faded and the bill was for $85. this place is a scam.

Bartender Isa made my friends and I incredible drinks and suggested a few dishes that will definitely have me coming back for more! The service was very warm and quick, and the menu is 100% worth the price.

Every single item in the menu from the drinks to dessert was exceptional. The menu is based on classic Filipino cuisine and includes a kamayan feast, a traditional way of eating with your hands: feast experience! I would highly recommend this restaurant!

The atmosphere and food were great! We were there for a bach a despite it being mentioned in the reservation and the bride wearing a sash no one congratulated her or did anything special which was surprising considering all the fees(tourism, gratuity & credit card fee). Our group was charged a credit card fee despite not paying with a credit card so CHECK YOUR BILL before paying!!! There was one lady that was kind enough to come outside to come outside to take a picture for the group but other than that, the dinner wasn’t as good compared to other places we went that weekend.
