Enjoyed a nice Early Mother's Day Dinner here. Food was delicious and the plating was great. Kind of Pricey but believe me, portions are more than enough. Only issue was had to always look for someone to refill my water. Would be cool if they would have bigger glasses and maybe someone that would come check on you more often since it wasn't that busy. Overall, will be coming back.

The Tocinog is disappointing. It doesn't have the authentic flavor of Tocino. It tastes more like Chinese barbecue. My Lechoncinog could use salt. No one came to our table to check how things are. I kept waiting because I was going to ask for salt and pepper. It's also puzzling why there's no Patis and Toyo on every table as condiment since it's the restaurant's name. They also seemed a bit disorganized. The waiter who greeted us wasn't sure where our table was. They should also remove the attire requirement. The word "required" should be replaced with "suggested." Not everyone followed the business casual attire anyway. It took us awhile to go there because my husband doesn't like dressing up more than his usual T-Shirt and Bermuda short. Even Perry's does not require business casual attire even though it's a high-end restaurant. The Ube creme brulee is really good. The Biko is ok. The garlic rice is a bit bland. I couldn't taste ay garlic. I'm a good cook myself, but my husband and I love dining out that's why I'm critical. We will give it another try to find out how the regular Filipino dishes fare with my cooking. We're good tippers, when the service merits it.

There are not a lot of Filipino restaurants that have good dining ambiance in Houston. This elevated Filipino cuisine to a different level with great prices and presentation. I would definitely come back and bring friends and family here!

Second time coming around! Love this place so much. Definitely a must try if you're in the Katy area.

Probably the best food I’ve had in a while.
Very authentic Filipino food. We shared a bunch of dishes at our table and every dish was insanely good. Even the garlic rice was beyond my expectations. I wanted to keep eating and not stop. The service was great as well. The waiter was very attentive, water was always full, and had very good recommendations on food. Atmosphere also felt very fancy!
The only downside is the checkout process. They use an electronic Square device, but instead of handing it to you, they hold it while you reach the tip section, which can feel a bit pressuring. If they left the device with you so you could complete the payment at your own pace, this place would be perfect.
Please eat here, it’s definitely worth it if you remotely like Filipino food. :)

As a Filipino, I really don't like leaving less-than-stellar reviews for Filipino restaurants. Alas, I find myself in that very predicament. Let's start with positives: though smallish, the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, stylish, with perfectly dim, inviting lighting and clean, contemporary decor. In keeping with the restaurant's cuisine, tasteful splashes of rattan and greenery add warmth and character. Our server was efficient, friendly, and very personable. He brought dishes out at the perfect pace and remained attentive throughout our meal. Now the not so positive: first of all, through no fault of the restaurant, the parking situation on a Saturday night was atrocious. Never, ever, ever, ever again will I be back on a Saturday night. The lot and all surrounding lots were packed. I found myself in a slow moving train of similarly unfortunate patrons, waiting for someone to leave. Onto the food... the Beef Bulalo soup was delicious, but the meat was tough. The soft shell crab appetizer was interesting and tasty, but the pork egg rolls needed salt. Actually most of the many dishes we ordered were under seasoned: Bicol Express, Palabok, Garlic Fried Rice, and Tokwa't Baboy. My sister did enjoy the Binagoongan. Hoping this was just an off-night. I may return (different day/time) to try other classics.

Been in this Filipino restaurant and I was amazed how SLOW their service. It takes 35-45mins before they serve your order. I gave them chance and even invited my work latino/american colleagues for launch and I was so dissatisfied as again, it took them an hour before they serve our food. What a shame! My colleagues said that how in the world Filipino restaurant’s customer service is so lousy.
The food and service here is always amazing! Every single time I’ve been here I’m always enjoying the different kinds of Filipino foods they offer, I highly recommend here!
