    Adobo Chicken
    Jennifer V.

    I came back because of my inKind deal but they didn't redeem themselves unfortunately. I got the kinilaw (tuna ceviche) and the tuna pieces were grey-ish and I got horrible food poisoning the next day. The sizzling beef platter is not great, the meat is a little tough with a lot of fat. The pork silog was decent although the sweet seasoning was still too strong. The brussel sprouts were good! The restaurant's music volume was thankfully lower this time. Service was quicker! Food was prepared fast.

    I got the pork silog, kinilaw (ceviche) and adobo chicken. The kinilaw was good but not my cup of tea as I'm used to ceviche being citrusy and there was no citrus to give it a zing. The adobo chicken, was not super flavorful beyond being a little salty and the rice portion that it came with was not large. Most of the flavor was in the broth at the bottom but it was so runny that it would have made my rice too soggy to try and eat it alongside the chicken. The pork silog was my favorite the egg on the top was good and there was a decent portion of pork over the top, but it was pretty greasy. All in all everything was pretty good and I could totally seeing this be someone else's comfort food but it was personally not for me!

    There's not many Filipino spots inside the loop, so Be More Pacific is definitely unique in that way (there's a few but definitely not many). Located on Yale in a slightly secluded parking plaza. There is plenty of parking available up front. The interior is a bit less modern and more weary than expected; the booth seats cracking at the seams and look fairly tired, to start. Our group came in for lunch and was and remained the only group that came for lunch service; that was a bit surprising. We ordered family style and got a few dishes including adobo, kare kare, pancit, lumpia, cola adobo, brussel sprouts, and Filipino BBQ (beef short ribs). Overall, the food was fairly average. Kare kare ranked the lowest out of everything we ordered, fairly bland, presentation wasn't exactly super appealing, and just missing flavor and seasoning. The pancit was alright, again, just tasting like a stir fried noodle dish. Some of the dishes came out in what seemed like a microwaved fashion, and overall, we felt everything was okay but not fantastic and flavorful.

    BMP breakfast plate...yum!

    After many years, we finally had a chance to come try BMP. In short, we'll be back! This morning was some brunch, and we both had the BMP breakfast featuring two eggs, bacon, one house made longannisa, garlic rice, and ube pancakes with coconut syrup. The eggs were great with a sublime runny yolk, bacon was a little on the limp side, longannisa was unique and less sweet than normal, and the garlic rice was yummy with a definite butter undertone. Star of the breakfast was the ube pancakes though and that coconut syrup was reminiscent of Singaporean Kaya spread. Oh, and we also tried the crispy fried musubi, which we both enjoyed. The only downside, besides the limp bacon, was not letting us know that the diced Thai chilis would be a $1 charge. I don't mind the buck, but would be nice to let folks know up front.

    When I want to go back to my roots, I always visit here. I really love this place and it's a vibe. The decor is so cute!! The wait staff is always super nice, and very helpful. Everything that I have eaten here has been very delicious and I always look forward to trying something new. Last time I was here I had the crispy spam musubi, S. C. C. L. B. F. R with shrimp, and my favorite the SISIG. That one is truly an amazing dish. They also have very cute karaoke rooms that I have used for meetings with friends or work meetings lol but during the day when they weren't busy.

    Be More Pacific, a Filipino American café in the Heights on Yale, is a place I've had on my list for a while. I was intrigued by the idea of a more contemporary spin on Filipino cuisine. I've tried Jollibee before, but somehow I think that doesn't really count. Haha. From the outside, the place looks interesting with cool signage and outdoor seating. The seating outside wasn't occupied at the time, of course, because it was way too hot outside--95 degrees plus, with humidity off the charts. Immediately upon walking in, I was thrown off by two things: the dim lighting and the unoccupied and un-staffed bar situated right next to the door. Having stood there for a while (3 minutes plus, I would say), I wondered if this is the kind of presentation the owners want. I literally did not see any other staff initially aside from the one waiter on the floor. But on to the food: Lumpia (Shanghai) [3/5]: I thought the Lumpia (shrimp and pork), described as the Shanghai variety, was good, but instead of 6 full pieces, it was really more like 4 full pieces with two halves. The sauce is rather sweet with a kick. I tend to prefer savory sauces, but I did enjoy this sauce. Crispy Spam Musubi [4/5]: I love Spam Musubi and was excited to try Be More Pacific's take on it. The Musubi, which appeared to be deep fried, has the following ingredients: a house-made version of Spam, rice, nori and Panko crust with Musubi sauce. I thought this Musubi was kind of on the dry side in the interior and it seemed to be missing flavor. The sauce is good but could use either some kick or another savory dimension. This version, while I liked it, convinced me I just prefer regular Spam Musubi, which tends to be juicier. Overall, I would rate Be More Pacific as 3/5.

    SiLog - LECHON KAWALI (half eaten sorry)
    Fernando P.

    Went here again for a friend's graduation and was anticipating a similar experience from my first time and guess what chat...they definitely cooked (this is good). We had the karaoke room rented out and it was private area sealed off from the rest of the restaurant which was really nice! The equipment inside wasn't horrible and worked fine but the quality of the equipment could be updated maybe in the near future. There was a mic that was held together by some tape but hey, it worked so what more can I say. Let's get to the food, so last time I raved about the crispy pork belly, but this time I wanted to try the marinated pork, the tocino! And oh my goodness gracious, the PORTION of meat they give you should seriously be given an award cause it was glorious. Shimmering, well plated, and filling. Mixing it up with that egg, and garlic rice just really hit. Gotta say that add that in with the family style eating environment just adds to the overall experience. Service again was fantastic and very caring and attentive for our needs. Just awesome. Look I've might of only eaten at two Filipino-based establishments but give me a air horn and flag cause I am a certified fan of the food and honestly makes me want to try even more restaurants!

    Adobo Chicken
    Shveta A.

    We went here for a birthday party for karaoke and dinner. Our extremely large group was shown to a room in the back with one large table with a large tv screen mounted on the wall at one end. Two mics were provided and in the following hours almost constant service was provided. The employees were courteous and the service was great, though sometimes took a while, which was to expected with such a crowd. The cocktails were tasty and the main dish I ordered, the adobo, was delicious. The chicken meat was succulent and the gravy with the rice was rich and aromatic. The karaoke part was nice too, though it seemed more like an add on to dinner. A great experience overall!

    Baon!

    Be More Pacific's "Kamayan" dinner was truly an experience from start to finish! My whole family enjoyed everything. We even did karaoke in the private room to end our dinner. Service was great and food is always good. Thanks BMP for modernizing and increasing the popularity of Filipino food and culture in the Houston area!

    Crispy Spam Musubi
    Mauricio Q.

    HH BITES at the Bar are amazing! Splurge and double up on all the HH bar bites. Lechon is amazing, banana flavor sauce!?

    Sunday = yummy food
    Naomi H.

    Not sure why I had not came to this spot before! Came here on a lazy Sunday and it was a bliss, just a few people there but I enjoyed the calm atmosphere at least that day. I sat at the bar and they promptly to my order and offered suggestions on the plate. Everything was delicious particularly I enjoyed the Pork belly !!!

    Instead of giving my filipino ex a second chance, I decided to give Filipino food a second chance--and honestly, best decision ever. Kilawin (Filipino Ceviche) - 5/5 A total flavor bomb! The tangy, citrusy kick of the ceviche paired with the salty crunch of shrimp chips? Chef's kiss. This dish alone makes me wonder why I stayed away for so long. Adobo Chicken - 5/5 I knew adobo was a staple in the Philippines, but I wasn't prepared for how much I'd love it. Rich, savory, slightly tangy, and absolutely perfect with rice. Hands down, my favorite dish of the night. Daing na Bangus (Fried Milkfish) - 4/5 Crispy, flavorful, and served with garlic rice and a fried egg--solid combo. While it's well-executed, I'm just not a huge fish person, so this was more of a me issue than a dish issue. Pork Sisig - 3/5 This dish pulls no punches--it's crispy, fatty, and packed with flavor. But wow, is it greasy. I could feel my arteries protesting with every bite. Tasty, but definitely a once-in-a-while indulgence. Halo-Halo - 5/5 I've always wanted to try halo-halo, and this did not disappoint! Sweet, creamy, and full of textures. If you're Vietnamese, think Chè Ba Màu but on steroids. My only complaint? I wish there were more toppings! Would I come back? Absolutely. Filipino food got the second chance my ex didn't--and I have zero regrets.

    Adobo Chicken
    Phoebe H.

    10/10 for the Adobo chicken. The flavors were highly enjoyable. The crispy spam musubi was great especially with the dipping sauce. The ribeye was also good but didn't compete with the other elite menu items that were ordered. The price point is decent for what you get. Would definitely come back and try their drink menu and desserts.

    Are dogs allowed by the outdoor patio?

    Yes leashed dogs are allowed on the patio. Hope to see you soon!

    Is this place dog friendly?

    Yes. If you sit outside. You probably already know this, but just just have your dog relive itself on the outside of the restaurant and not the seating area. Just be a good pawparent which you probably are Bc you wanna bring your four legged kid. 😊

    I have a big group coming in for dinner. Is it possible to make reservations?

    If you have a very large group I would recommended to call ahead and make reservations. As for the restaurant is the busiest on weekends and happy hour times during the week.

    Sure is. Kids even eat free for dinner every Thursday

    What are their hours?

    Please view our Houston FB page as we are on a flex schedule till Thursday when we'll have both lunch and dinner service.

    Great drinks, friendly service, and delicious HH appetizers! We enjoyed our first time here and…read morehope to come back again!

    After enjoying a late night snack at Handos, we decided to mosey on over to Kampai Club. I had…read moreheard good things for years, and I remember driving past it a couple times and not seeing it or any signage. Even this time the GPS took us to an entrance that had us going the wrong way down a one-way, but we eventually figured it out I will say that the parking isn't all that great, but we were able to find a spot. If the parking lot is full you should be able to find street parking nearby Kanpai Club is a sister location to Handos. They share a kitchen and you can walk through an inside door access either. You can find the same cocktails and bites from Handos on the Kanpai menu, but there's also additional drinks and bites The bar feels like a Japanese Izakaya. It's a narrow space resembling a Japanese outdoor bar. It's intimately lit and well decorated. We did have to wait for two spots to open up, but that didn't take too long The bartenders were friendly, professional, and efficient. We went on a Friday night (fairly late), and they had two dedicated bartenders The cocktails were fun and were beautifully crafted. Most were served in novelty glassware. You can order classic cocktails, but both Kanpai and Hando offer a variety of signature cocktails. Most having some sort of Japanese or Asian fusion. They have beer, wine, and extensive sake list, as well as green tea and other nonalcoholic options The cocktails were tasty. The only one I was iffy on was their Espresso martini. It was poured from a machine and I guess there were having issues with it. The presentation was phenomenal. There was a roasted marshmallow garnish. The drink itself was far too Smokey in flavor than I like, or at least in terms of my espresso martinis The Yuzu Kosho fries were incredible. The flavors really hit the spot. The Okinawa Potato salad was both questionable to looks and and to eat lol. This purple mound of potato's had an interesting taste, look, and consistency. It wasn't bad, just... interesting and new Some tips: If you can't find this spot from the street, look for Handos. It's part of this restaurant Ask the bartender about the happy hour menu. And most nights they're open until 12am, but on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 2am If you order food online (technically from Hando's) you can get 10% off using code: HANDO10. This is part of their "Hando and Chill" special Cheers!!
