I was looking forward to eating here as there were not a lot of Filipino restaurants that I’ve seen in the Northeast, but after eating here I was not impressed with the taste of the food, especially with its exorbitant prices. My whole family shares the same sentiment. Nevertheless, the service that we received was great. I’d recommend this store to people who haven’t had Filipino cuisine before, but that’s it.

Amazing breakfast!! So tasty. The steak was seasoned so perfectly, we wanted more! This was our first stop on a two day food tour of Philly and we kept coming back to this and saying it was the perfect way to start. Highly recommend! Thank you, Kathy!!

Presentation was great but taste was disappointing. No flavor at all. I asked for Patis (fish sauce) and the owner said “I’m a runner so I know salt isn’t good for you” I wish it was just the salt but the Palabok has no flavor. Also came with “meat” but all fat I had to spit them out.(see pic below) I was sad because the market was full of people and it would have been great for everyone to taste good Filipino food.
To the chef. Boil the shrimp with heads on and use that to flavor the Palabok sauce. Pork bullion might also help just to enhance the flavor.

Finally had a chance to try the restaurant out. I come to Philly for business and always missed out on this place. Came in today on a Sunday so was able to finally eat on-site. Food came fast and everything was delicious. I didn’t realized the skewers and lumpia came with rice so had plenty of food leftover to bring back to my hotel. The palabok was so huge and tasty. Would definitely come back.

I was first attracted to the amount of Ube sweets they offered! I decided on the Ube bread roll, which they warmed up for me as I checked out. It was soft, slightly dense with just a subtle sweetness with a light Ube flavor. I enjoyed it as a lesser-sweet treat.
A few hours later I decided to try their Chicken Adobo. It’s subjective, but theirs tasted EXACTLY what I grew up on except they fine tuned it to add a few more touches that I wish I could do with mine. I was so surprised on how well it tasted, balanced, and very flavorful. It felt like a homemade dish vs a restaurant kitchen, which is how all Filipino food should taste like. I really enjoyed every bit of it!
Customer service was very friendly both times I ordered. I travel frequently for work and I’ll definitely be back! But if you find yourself in Reading Terminal Market, try this spot! This a great place for those who are new or knowledgeable of Filipino food!

Awesome friendly staff. My first time trying food from the Philippines and I was not disappointed
I absolutely love this place! I've only been here twice because it's 2hrs away but omg everything is amazing! The owner is super sweet & the bbq skewers are to die for (the beef, chicken or pork)!!! I can't wait to visit when she opens her restaurant next year!

Love the diner counter vibe. Even better still- the family like steez.
Is it as good as your lola’s, tita’s or mom’s cooking? Well, that’s personal taste, Karen. Does it hit the notes that the islands food represents? Yes. And let’s face it, it’s not there’s a lot of options in this one horse town for pinoy grub.
Legit food. Good service. Return of the Mack is necessary.
this is my 2nd time & as always the food is good, the owner & staff was very nice & accommodating, this is my place to go when i am in the city & will be happy to recommend this to my family & friends

Ordered tocinolog and ube cheese pandesal. Very disappointed the tocinolog 100% no tocin flavor at all, it was plain pork with very red food coloring. The ube pandesal had a tiny speck of cheese inside for $4 a piece.

This market was such an experience! I highly recommend. The food was beyond amazing we had, the pretzels, Cajun food, cheese steaks, oysters and more. The people were friendly and the atmosphere was great.
