The event had 10 of us and was eating with our hands off banana leaves.

Service was attentive and explained the meal throughly. I look forward to their next event!

First time trying Filipino food here in Louisville…read more Came here to try halo halo and got dinner as well. It's a very small dining space inside maybe 4 tables so looks like this is more of a takeout spot. Service was very friendly but food took a little while to come out and we didn't get water until half way through the meal. Sigsig: fried pork belly with onions, peppers and mayo sauce and served with jasmine rice. Delicious overall, the pork was nice and crispy and minced, but the purple onions really added a harsh bite like they were added raw. The dish waseven better with some vinegar and soy sauce sprinkled on top. Portion was pretty generous but the $18 price was a little bit high. Halo halo: came in a big plastic cup, initial presentation was just OK. First time trying it and it was pretty good. Was skeptical about a shaved ice desert but they really made it sweet with lots of co densed milk and it had a few amount of mix-ins like jelly candy and a good amount of chopped coconut. Would have liked to see more ube. It's a very unique desert. Again, a little steep at $10 for shaved ice in my opinion. Overall, pretty good spot to try some Filipino dishes

Besides the empanadas you can get some sides (a la carte) rice, salads and more! They also do catering.

He was such a good person. He reminded me of my uncle or elder. He was talking to us about the history of chicken and where it originated from along with the sago dessert. Super informational.
