This place and the food made my little Filipino heart so happy! The owners were super friendly and made us feel very welcomed. We ordered the combo 2 (rice & 2 entrees), we got the pork adobo and pork sinigang. The pork adobo was tender and so flavorful! The pork sinigang was the star of the meal, it was sour just how we like it and loaded with lots of vegetables! It definitely reminded me of my Mamas cooking, so so delicious! We also got Lechon Kawali, you can tell it's made to order because it was hot and crispy. Our kids enjoyed the lumpia Shanghai, it had great crunch and was very tasty! The portions of the food were generous and enough to share! We saved room for dessert and got the flan, which was good. And my favorite, their Bilo Bilo! The flavors and different textures were chefs kisses! I wish this place was closer to us (we are an hour drive away) because I would probably be eating here everyday! read more

I'm not even sure if this spot is new or not, but Filipino food is one of my favorite cuisines, and this place really hits the spot. We've already been here twice, and it hasn't disappointed. The service is a big part of why. The young lady working there is genuinely one of the sweetest and kindest people, which makes the experience feel extra welcoming. We ordered a few different things, but the pancit really stood out. Soo good and full of flavor. We also tried the pork belly, which was just as satisfying. The place feels casual and comfortable, the kind of spot you'd happily keep coming back to. read more

Amazing food and service--very authentic Filipino cuisine! Definitely add this place to your must visit list if you are in Utah. read more

I really want to love Filipino food but I guess I'm just not a fan. I did the combo meal, 3 entrees with a small scoop of rice, really not enough for the amount of food and you really need it to balance out the strong flavors. I got this pork soup that had mustard greens that had a nice acidic kick to it. The other options were very similar in taste and texture. They also had fried chicken skin as an ala carte item I was excited for, unfortunately it was seasoned and I'm not sure when it was made but didn't seem fresh. It's a cute little restaurant with plenty of Filipino snacks, drinks, and other items you can buy. I love supporting small business, especially Asian owned family business. The food was probably really good if you like Filipino food, I just didn't love it read more

We actually came here a few weeks ago with family & friends. We were not disappointed. It was everything we were looking for in authenticity. Between the 3 of us, we had a variety of food that we tried from pork adobo, longganisa, crispy chicken skin, lumpia, chicken curry, crispy pata, jeprox, sisig, & rice. Even down to the desserts - halo halo, turon, & buko pandan! Nolan made it such a delight that we could not stop laughing. Service was top notch! It's definitely family style, so be prepared to sing karaoke cause Nolan won't let you leave without a song if you plan to dine in. Lol We loved it. We would've stayed longer had we kept on singing. We will definitely be back! read more

This was among the restaurants that came up on my Yelp feed during a visit to Provo. It's not often that a suggestion for Filipino cuisine comes up and was the reason I chose to eat here over other possibilities. The food I ordered was on par with other traditional Filipino restaurants that I've visited. The Shanghai lumpia l were well made and crispy. The Lechon Kawali was tender and moist; perfectly cooked though didn't get many pieces that had crunchy skin which is the hallmark of Lechon in general. The pancit is my biggest "side eye" so to speak because it wasn't strictly speaking "pancit bihon"; yes there were bihon noodles but very little compared to the amount of chow main style yellow noodles. It's a first for me to get a combo of noodles while claiming a specific noodle, they could have just said "pancit" and I wouldn't have ordered it, LOL. I only like bihon style noodles so for me this was a little annoying. I can't comment on whether it was "good" or not because it's not what I expected and anything I could say is colored by the fact that I didn't get what I expected. The order style at this restaurant isn't my favorite format, as it's not a full service restaurant with servers, etc. one orders from a wall menu as well as prepared food from non-self serve trays that offer a full spectrum of Filipino cuisine/ dishes. Also of note, they don't have fountain drinks but rather cans and bottles of various choices in a fridge. Cuisine-wise there were a lot of choices I wasn't familiar with...this was the one time I wish I had an "all you can eat" style buffet style format so I could sample everything. Instead I went with the safe choices; options that were familiar to me. For dessert I ordered "Halo halo", mostly out of comfort. They offer a lot of other dessert options that looked good like "home made " flan but was not availe in a small or "individual " portion size. It was a tough pass for me I must admit. On a food basis, it's as good as any Filipino restaurant as I've dined...serving traditional Filipino cuisine and is the basis for my 4 stars I'm more of a full service person when I dine at restaurants...this one is even more self serve on par with an In-N-Out burger or similar fast food restaurant and yet the food isn't cheap. For that alone I'm not going to give them 5 stars. That said, I'd recommend it for anyone who wants lots of delicious Filipino cuisine options. read more

The food is plentiful, delicious, authentic, and thoughtfully plated. The prices are reasonable and there are a lot of packaged snacks.

It does not get more authentic than this place. EXTREMELY tasty homey food. Truly feels like your Filipino mom's comfort dishes. Every single dish had its own unique taste to it. All the meats (pork, beef, chicken) melted in our mouths - so soft and full of flavor. There is no entree/protein I recommend over another because they were all soooo delicious in their very own way. No dish even slightly tasted like the other. For dessert, we had the 3 piece taron (plantain egg rolls with a hard creme brulee-like sugar coating on the outside) which were incredible. Perfectly sweet, crunchy on the outside yet soft and chewy on the inside. This place PACKS it in - you will not be skimped. We each ordered the 2 item combo (rice or pancit (noodles) w/2 meats) and were stuffed before we even finished our food...that didn't stop us from continuing to indulge because the food was too good to waste. After eating, the owner even invited us to do some karaoke. The restaurant had fun Filipino snacks for sale. What a fun, DELICIOUS, and authentic experience. We will absolutely be returning! read more

I have been here a few times now. Each time, I have been blown away by the flavor of the food. The employees who work here are all so friendly and patient, too. I have eaten Filipino food several times in the past, but I am not as knowledgeable with the cuisine as some other cuisines, beyond the most well-known Filipino foods. All the friends and family I've brought with me have been even less knowledgeable. So, we always spend a good amount of time peppering them with questions. Each time, every employee has been so patient and kind. They always have a wide variety of offerings. You can choose a la carte, or from customized combos, or set menu options. It is a cafeteria style set up. I have tried their pancit, chicken adobo, pork Adobo, bicol express, chicken curry, lumpia, beef Caldereta, kare kare, Sisig, dinuguan, and fried eggplant (I forget what it was called). Seriously, every single one of these was great. The meat is always so, so tender, and everything is so flavorful. My favorites have been the kare kare and bicol express. I like that they don't shy away from serving some of the more exotic dishes like Sisig and dinuguan. However, they have adjusted them to not include more of the traditional pig parts that Americans generally don't eat (ears, snout, intestines, etc.). I actually am a bit disappointed in that, but I also get why. The portions are always very generous, and there is lots of seating. I really want to try lechon some time, as my Filipino friends had been encouraging me for years to find that somewhere. Sadly, it hasn't been available any of the times I've gone. I wonder if it's on offer just during dinner, as I've only gone for lunch so far. One other nitpick: I wish they had more veggie options available. But, really, this food is amazing. read more

3.5 stars, trending towards "Good." First, I don't think that Filipino food is my cup of tea. I do like lumpia, but other than that, not my first choice of food. However, the reviews of this place was intriguing so I tried it. We had a variety of dishes, and it seemed OK to me. Had my son's family with us and they seemed to think it was OK, too. Had curry, adobo, veggies. Something else. Just not memorable for me. Others who like Filipino food are definitely excited about this place, so try it out. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

The restaurant was fairly sized and had lots of available seating. They had other merchandise and snacks for sale too plus a karaoke machine. The food was just okay, it was kinda too salty for my taste. The price point is also okay, but not sure what that type of food goes for in that area. The service was nice, they were patient and described the items we had questions about. read more

I was so excited to see a new Filipino restaurant finally open in Utah County! Brought the whole family (and friends) to experience it for the first time, and this place is authentic! They had over 10+ dishes to choose from, and my mouth couldn't stop watering. They had: chicken and pork adobo, laing, bicol express, beef caldereta, sinigang, chicken tinola, fried lumpia, corned beef, pancit, bistek, munggo, I couldn't name all of them. I was just so excited for all the variety they had! I tried quite a few, and I felt like a kid in a candy store....I'll have to keep coming back to try the rest. Favorites: Chicken adobo, pancit, Bikol express, and bistek. Pancit tasted just like home, Bicol Express had great flavor (I had cut-up chili added on mine as I like mine with a bit of spice!) and their bistek was super soft and flavorful. Their lumpia was a BIG hit with the kiddos - we had to keep ordering more and more because we kept running out! Their Halo-Halo was ON POINT! Mine just had the crushed ice, milk, Ube ice cream, and flan slice on top. It was SOO GOOD that I was halfway home and I asked myself, "Why didn't I get 2 of these?!" Met the nicest people - Billie and Chat, they made you feel right at home and explained what some of the dishes' ingredients. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Just went here with my husband for the first time tonight. My MIL is Filipino and a great cook so we had high expectations. We were not disappointed! The (I assume owner) was so sweet and took the time to talk with us. The night was brisk and inside the restaurant was super warm. I don't know if they were trying to replicate the ambiance of the Philippines, but it was perfectly warm (not too hot) which was such a nice perk. We wanted to try a plethora of things so we got the three combo plate with chicken adobo (phenomenal), sinegang (authentic and delicious) and chicken curry (only okay). We asked for half rice half pancit. We ordered a side of 6 lumpia and halo halo for dessert. The food was placed on a banana leaf inside a wicker bowl. All of the food brought me back to my visit to the Philippines. It was delicious and I want to take my in-laws the next time we go! They had karaoke in the corner and the vibe was chill. We will definitely be repeat customers because there were so many things I still want to try. read more

They have karaoke!!! Tried and true Filipino joint! The music was on point and I was ready for some karaoke. They also sell some baked goods like Pan De Sal. The service is fast casual, like cafeteria style. Wish I could try a bit of everything but just got the two plate combo with Shanghai lumpia. The chicken adobo was good and flavorful. If you like vinegary flavors I would recommend. The Kare Kare had tender beef and it's a peanut curry base if you're not familiar with the dish. Most of the dishes are meat heavy so if you're looking for veggies you're limited on your options. read more

It was like stepping back into the Philippines. Everything was so familiar. The food was amazing. I love the snacks as well.

Walking in reminded me so much of home, I loved the snacks and the sound of Filipino music. I ordered food from here cause my Filipino parents missed white rice and Filipino food while on our road trip. Service was amazing, everyone was kind. My parents are picky about Filipino food and they raved about the pancit! Highly recommend. read more

Authentic Filipino food. I like good Filipino food, and this place is a thumb's up. I had mongo beans and dinuguan w/ rice and felt content. Too full to get to the Halo Halo. Making Filipino food is not easy as there is a lot of prep, spices, and technique. They did well, and Provo is well represented with good Filipino food. read more

I am not too familiar with Filipino food but this place was awesome. Each thing we had was delicious and wildly different. The portion sizes were large, I shared a three combo plate with my son. We had the pork adobo, which almost had a vinegary taste, longanisa sausage, probably our favorite, super tender and the chicken curry. Again, I don't know Filipino food well, but this place felt super authentic. From the cute Filipina ladies serving to the whole fish and chicken feet (I think) entrees. . read more

Authentic and delicious Filipino food in Utah! The flavors of all the dishes we tried were all spot on. One can even say that it rivals the better Filipino restaurants in Vegas and Cali. We had the pleasure of eating at this place and also ordered catering for our family reunion over the weekend. Marlene was super nice and friendly. She took care of us and was able to address all our catering needs. My family enjoyed all of the food we ordered and was super happy with the quality and value of each dish. Definitely would recommend them for any events in our future. 5 stars all the way and their name truly says it all MMK our new BFF! read more

Great customer service and great food! We will definitely be coming back. Only downside is that they're so far away from us.

As someone who is Filipino I can say that this is 10000% authentic. My favorite thing about this place is that they don't compromise their flavors to cater to those that can't handle said flavors. I got the Bicol Express and it was spicy and coconutty. The laing was creamy and also had a kick to it. The sisig again was spicy and also acidic. There rice to ulam ratio really topped it off on the authenticity, not to mention the guyabano juice. Nothing beats cooking that makes you feel nostalgia and MMK gives me flashbacks to family parties when I was young. read more

It was good. Pork adobo and lechon Kawali was good. The pancit was tasty and good. Pinakbet was a bit different with the addition of coconut milk. The sauce was very good but too much pumpkin, needed more other vegetables like egg plant and bitter melon. I would come back and try the dinuguan. read more

Food is GOOD except a little SALTY. My favorite is the LAING but it is not a regular Menu staple and service is EXCELLENT, staff friendly.

This place came highly recommended to me by some friends at work. It did not disappoint. We had the bistek, pork adobo, pineapple pork ribs, and the chicken curry. All of these were yummy. They also brought us out some soup to try. Very nice! This place has a very friendly staff and a family vibe. We'll definitely be back. We talked with a bunch of college kids who were in and they all had spent time in the Philippines and they said this place is legit. Good to have a different genre and flavors making a splash in Utah Valley. Don't hesitate. Come try this place!!! Fun to see people enjoying the karaoke. It's fun... just not for me. A couple girls were really REALLY good. read more

We tried the adobo, beefsteak, and lumpia--everything was delicious! The meat was super soft and flavorful, and the lumpia had the perfect crunch.
