I went here yesterday night and had my first filipino food experience. The food is wonderful and the service is even better. I would definitely reccommend trying this place out if you're in the area and you're looking for a filipino food experience!

Always a favorite and the staff is so helpful!

Food is quite expensive for what you get. I ordered 2 appetizers, the hummus and lettuce wraps. As you can see from the photo you definitely don’t get much for the money they charge. I was so disappointed, and on top of that it was mostly oil and VERY soupy. The lettuce wraps were a glob of soggy ingredients that tasted very blah, looked like they could have been ready to throw out as garbage. I ended up throwing everything away after I tried it. Will definitely not be going back. Waste of my money.

The best Kare Kare I've had in the DMV
Actual oxtail is used for their kare kare which is very rare to come by in this area

Not the best experience.
Service left a lot to be desired. The woman waiting on us was on the phone and would talk to us and then go right back to speaking on the phone via ear buds.
The food was expensive for what you get. We tried the Filipino specials and were underwhelmed. The lechon was not seasoned and was tough. The Indo Thai noodles were soggy and bland as well. They were supposed to be spicy but it wasn't at all.

Great little hole in the wall spot for Filipino food. Lumpia is great. So is pancit.

Portion size was good. Sauce was too salty. Overall dish lacked any pizza. Had the palak pancit

I've been here for lunch twice and each time the food and service were impeccable. I vowed to keep coming back until I've eaten everything from their lunch menu. So far each meal was perfectly prepared and wonderfully flavorful! The host/ Waiter even recognized us from the last time!

fantastic Filipino food and Indian dishes. highly rec. the turon as dessert! great service
Food was ok, menu seems a little all over the place and I’d think it could be made better if it focused more on the cuisines it specializes in (Indian, Filipino). Service was nice. Overall the restaurant had a dated and maybe a bit stale ambience. Perhaps because it was a slower night, we felt a bit under attended to.
Kachin kawali was very good. Overall the food had a very “home cooking” feel, which was good.
The young man working there (the owners son) is very polite and kind. I asked him which Filipino dish he would recommend. I didn’t quite feel like topsilog so I went with the kare-kare that seemed to be popular. It was no good. Sorry, I’m Filipino and what saved this dish was the bagoong. The ox tail was swimming in oil, there was no flavor except that it was too sweet. I almost asked for more bagoong. I moved the oxtail and the one baby bok choy and one eggplant out of the oil stew to my rice plate. The rice wasn’t the typical calrose or short grain rice. It was hard and dry. Didn’t try to eat it with my ulam. Left disappointed. Maybe the topsilog was the better choice.

WILL NOT SPEND OUR MONEY HERE AGAIN. THE MANAGER ADMITTED THE KNOWLINGLY PUT INEDIBLE STEAK ON THE MENU TO BE SERVED TO UBER ORDERS SO THAT THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THE ORDER. THE MANAGER SAID SHE SHOULD'VE THEY REMOVED THE OPTION FROM UBER DUE TO ALMOST BEING OUT AND THEY RESERVED THE QUALITY CUTS FOR THE PEOPLE DINING IN TODAY. IT WAS ALL VOLUNTEERED INFORMATION THAT SHE THOUGHT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE AND SMOOTHED OVER BY OFFERING A DISCOUNT. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE SWINDLE, I HIGHLY SUGGEST SPENDING YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE.

It's amazing the breadth of food at this place. It's not like every dish is the most perfect representation of that specific dish, but it's just such a fun place to go and try different things prepared well from all around the world
