The pork sausage they added to the menu was so good. It was sweet but savory garlic. The fried chicken skins is our go to favorite for apps. I loved the Ube baby(?) drink. The espresso Ube liqueur they put it in and top it with coconut is the perfect treat. Anything you get from this menu is great, they never miss. Can't wait to come back!

The restaurant has a cozy, neighborhood hidden-gem feel, which I love. My only complaint was the gnats; having to constantly swat them away throughout the meal was distracting. Overall, the food is excellent, and I'll definitely be back.

Came by on a Saturday around noon and got their halo halo to go! Really nice and welcoming people…read more For $8 after tax the halo halo was just OK for me - a little too sweet and not much fillings. There's a variety of fillings - beans, jellies, cornflakes, ice cream but only a little bit of each. Considering all the beans and jellies are canned I felt like the value wasn't completely there. It was mostly sweet milk that was a bit too sweet for me. I am glad I got to try it though!

No fault to the restaurant and they cooked me a fresh batch when I got inside since they said my food was cold. For the food - I ordered the Bistec Rice Bowl with Garlic Rice and the Calamansi Wings. The Bistec was a bit tough and the garlic rice that I paid extra was extra oily and didn't really have enough garlic flavor like other Filipino restaurants I have been to. The Calamansi wings were disappointing - the crunch and crisp was there but the flavor was completely lacking. There was some like lime salt on the outside but there was no flavor to whatsoever on the meat that was cooked underneath the skin. I thought the wings would be marinated in a special sauce then fried but that wasn't the case. Nice staff but I'm not sure that I would go back to try the other stuff.

She is currently spotted up at the House of Lean as a resident popup Tues-Sun from 11a-4p. Acelyn brought home the goods while I stayed back with the kid. My chicken longsilog was solid.

We're so glad Chef Carmen has chosen her spot to be in our hood. Looking forward to trying more of her menu - I'm looking at you, tortang talong.

Kuyas Food Express in Duluth City Farmers Market…read more I finally tried this Filipino food stall after seeing so many recommendations, and here's everything I ordered. Sizzling Sisig Comes with chopped pork, sour-style dressing, sunny side up egg, and rice. Best part is letting it sit longer on the hot plate so the pork gets slightly crispy and more flavorful. Adding extra lemon really enhances the taste. Only downside, the rice stayed too long on the plate and became a bit too hard to chew. Tokwa't Baboy Crispy pork with fried tofu in a sour soy-fish sauce. The pork was a bit fatty for my preference, but the crispy skin was really good. The fried tofu was the highlight, it soaked up the sauce and was super flavorful in every bite. Halo Halo Ube ice cream, flan, shaved ice, condensed milk, and mixed fruits like banana and sweet potato. Very refreshing and sweet. The flan was amazing, just wish the portion was bigger.

It's an asian restaurant food that offers seating inside and outside. Once we entered we were seated immediately and handed menus. Their menus are super cool and unique and are a bit overwhelming but nevertheless full of so much variety. The waitress was very sweet and checked in on us periodically and helped us fill out our sheet to place our order. We ordered a plethora of stuff such as crispy bulgogi bao buns, brushed sprouts, steamed dumplings, mango chicken and a noodle plate. Food didn't take long for it to come out on their little robot and staff helped put everything on the table. Everything smelled and looked amazing so it was tough to decide what to taste first! I first tried the crispy bao bun and was blown away by the flavor it had! It was like a mini burger. After that I tried the steamed dumplings and they were so yummy and specially with the sauce. Next I tried the Brussels sprouts and they were necessary my cup of tea but still good! Just wouldn't order again. Second to last thing I tried the mango chicken and man was it good!!! Full of the best aroma and flavor and cooked to perfection. The plating was also gorgeous as well!! We finished off with mango sticky rice and It was good but I do wish it had more mango to help the ratio. Overall, it was a really good visit and I was excited to try it out. It was a bit pricey but we did order a lot so it may be a special occasion once we come back again but I'd definitely be back!

It was busy inside, but our party of 10 was promptly seated, though we were a little squished into a circular table. I didn't remember this last time, but instead of telling a server what you want, you mark it down on a paper menu and hand it to the server. This time I got the Grandma's BBQ Pork Noodles and the Salted Egg Yolk Shrimp Garlic Noodle. I was really excited to try both since they both sounded so good. Ultimately the Grandma's BBQ Pork Noodle was a little underwhelming - the noodles themselves weren't very flavorful, and the BBQ pork was on the drier side. The pork did have decent flavor, and all the toppings/side items (wontons, fried egg, bok choy) were great, but all in all fell a little short of my hopes. The Salted Egg Yolk Garlic Noodles had better flavor, but I could've used even more garlic and butter. The shrimp definitely carried the salted egg yolk flavor, but the fried batter was a bit soggy/soft in my opinion. I wished it was crisper. Service was a tad slow, but perhaps they're understaffed and/or it was busy that night. I do love the menu concept of positioning it like a magazine catalog - it makes for a fun experience instead of just words on paper

Best dumplings that I have EVER had. Ever…read more I visited Mushi Ni one afternoon while at The Works and when I saw the dumplings, I knew I had to check them out. I initially planned for the bao buns only, but the prices were quite reasonable thanks to the $16 lunch special - so I thought I'd try a bit more. So glad that I did. Mushi Ni has an electronic ordering system which was really easy to navigate. I chose my lunch special and added in my dumplings, and poof - the order was on the way to the kitchen. I walked around the food hall for a few so I don't really know how quickly my order was completed, but when I returned, the guy behind the counter saw me and started bagging it up. I found a seat outside for some natural lighting and started snapping away. I really went to enjoy and share the bao buns but figured I'd have a quick bite of the dumplings and keep it pushing. Listen. WOW. I was immediately taken aback because, what?! They were spicy, so savory and full of pork, with a little punch of lime in there somewhere. I didn't even need to have a second bite before I decided that I *had* to order a second round. Wow. The fries were also phenomenal! Super crunchy, the seasonings on top were such a nice touch. And the trend continued with the fluffy, flavorful bao buns. Seriously just an all-around amazing experience. I thought I'd enjoy their food but this experience exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to have more of those dumplings!

I enjoyed my chicken combo, especially the katsu. The bbq chicken was okay, but I definitely needed to add sauce on the back end to make it more flavorful. The staff was friendly and welcoming to our large party! Even though we all individually ordered at the counter at separate times, they were smart and waited for all the orders to be in before making any of our food. This ensured that the first person that ordered wouldn't have gotten their food before our last person arrived and ordered. Small parking lot, so think about carpooling if you're coming with several people. Overall, solid place for a casual, value meal with plenty of offerings! Will definitely be back to try other things.
