    We went on a Saturday for lunch. It feels like you are dining in someone's home. The owners are on…read moresite and it is a family run business. We ordered a variety of food to try. They have daily specials. We had the Kare-Kare which is a peanut sauce on oxtail. The Lechon Kawali is pork belly with a crispy skin. It was very good quality. The Pork Pancit Bihon made with thin rice noodles was delicious. Our favorite was the sigsig. It is crispy minced pork and onion. The Ube cake is made by a local baker and tasted very fresh. There is free parking in the attached lot.

    I adore Filipino food; and when my Filipino pal Dennis showed off his meals at a local eatery via…read moresocial media, I had to go and try it. Back in a small retail area near SE 17th Street, this restaurant apparently opened in late 2019 and then had to close because of the pandemic. But it returned and now offers homemade food with terrific service. The place is small, seating about 30 in an at-home-at-the-dining-table style. Our server, who I think was an owner, was very friendly and even helped us choose a dish. We had to have lumpia, because it was one of the first Filipino foods we ever tried (decades ago). Although these were good, my friends' (shoutout to Analisa and Belinda) native eggrolls were much better. For our main entrees we had the adobosilog and the tapsilog. The adobo dish came with white rice topped with a fried egg, some shaved carrots, a couple of slices of cucumber and tomato. The adobo, though a tad salty, had a delicious soy-vinegar flavor and brought me back to the dish my pal Joe made for us a couple of times. The tapsilog was shaved beef that came with the same accompaniments but it was so salty that I had to mention it when the lady asked me how things tasted. She went and told the chef. (I did not complain about the adobo.) And he insisted that the price of the meal be removed from our bill. Ummm. OK. We splurged on dessert and shared the last piece of Ube (purple yam) cake (bought from an outside vendor) and a halo-halo. The cake was smooth and not too sweet. The halo-halo was shaved ice with ice cream, milk, and a variety of ingredients including beans, corn, and plain gelatin cubes. You have to mix it all up to get a good flavor. Hubby did not care for it because it was not sweet enough (yet he refused to add some condensed milk). It was my favorite dish of the entire meal. (I love cold, creamy, not-so-sweet desserts.) The portions don't match the price. While you get a humungous mound of rice, the meat is skimpy and entrees average about $20 each. And like most small places, there is a surcharge if you use a credit card instead of cash. Even with one meal removed, our bill was about $55 and would have been closer to $80. We do plan to go back and try some other dishes. Let's hope the salt content has lessened. (Remember chef: you can add salt but you can't remove it.)

    Florida's heat and humidity were absolutely destroying me, so I ducked in here to save my life…read more Best decision ever. I'm a sucker for anything mango, and when the guy behind the counter recommended adding vanilla frosting, it blew my mind. It was so ridiculously good that I was eating it with zero shame--pretty sure the guy in line ahead of me was getting a solid laugh watching me thoroughly enjoy every single lick. 10/10, worth every bit of heat.

    Refreshing Italian Ice for a hot South Florida day! Drove past this little hut and it was a must…read moretry as an Italian ice lover. Small little location with only 2 parking spots and a drive through window available. Only downfall is with only one way around the location, you may get stuck in the drive through line waiting for another customer to get their order in the drive through line before you can exit so not logistically ideal design wise. But, order and enjoy your treat with 2 benches available in front of the order window. Nice and clean and a good menu offering great flavors. My son has the coconut gelato and I ordered the grape gelato. The custard itself had an unusual flavor itself like a hint of mint or something. It was nice and creamy otherwise. The Italian ice had great flavor and the coconut had coconut shavings but it was icy compared to a smoother watery Italian ice. Over the flavors were nice but not the best Italian ice as my preference would be a more smoother texture in the Italian ice compared to the icy texture.

    Juan was my server and he totally hooked me up. What a professional!!…read moreSo nice and accommodating explained the menu fully. You can't beat the location or the scenery from this place! I ordered the spicy edamame as an appetizer. I ordered the Duck Bao Bun, which is absolutely fantastic as well. For dinner I ordered a two-piece Maguro sushi. The fish literally melted in my mouth. I had the Spicy Hotake Maki as well, it was absolutely fantastic. I am bummed I'm only here for tonight, but I can tell you that the food here is absolutely epic and if you've never been here, you absolutely need to come. Ask for Juan to take care of you and you will not be disappointed!!

    We were staying at the Conrad and just had to come here and try it. Man so glad I did…read more It's beautifully decorated place and love how the sushi chefs say hello in Korean. That's a first. I will say though if you want a nice cold room go to the back. The open the doors in the middle and it is very humid by the bar and seating there. The food really delivered. The crispy tuna, mandu, chop chae with big short rib, and steak were all so delicious and flavorful. I would come back here in a heartbeat. The sushi ice cream really hit the home run to end our meal. The only knock I will say though was the drinks and the service. He was hit or miss, almost impossible to find. He rarely checked up on us. The cocktail menu was just okay too.
