Great steam and fry table, sit down is spacious everytime I visit. Favorite go to, usual pics is the adobo and pancit, but I recommend the sisig and the menudo. Great kabobs and to be honest I want to visit where ever this regionally food is cooked to get to know thier gastronomy. Decadent and well served you can get a 15 dollar meal enough for 2 servings or for 2.
For Filipinos that want fish, this is the place to find & eat it. You can shop in the store and eat in the restaurant or take the food home. I picked up lechon kawali or chicharron - so tasty and crunchy. They also had the liempo option. Chicken BBQ sticks were on point. Red bean sesame balls. Banana Q pieces. I missed breakfast - I think you have to get there right at 8. No complaints here.
This place is known for there beef soup! Different days Different options. The food is authentic! not for newbie only for people who grew up eating authentic Filipino food.
I love coming here. Today, I decided to get their halo-halo. I am very disappointed in my purchase. There are no sweet beans, nor are there any coconut palm jellies, no ube jam, no langka, no sweet mango slices, no leche flan, no pinipig. Just a note it should have both ube ice cream and mango ice cream. All it has is the green and red jellies that I don’t care for. Yuk. This is a crime against our Filipino dessert. Everything else is great!
If want some Filipino food and sweet dessert craving this is my go to place. They are very affordable, good food, clean and the staff are exceptional. The owners are very nice. If you want any sweet dessert like Cascaron (deep fried sweet rice donut) you got to be there early as they sold out quick. Love this place. Their food is always fresh.
