    I've never been here. I actually thought this was another eatery I was familiar with but it's not it. Anyways, the place is ok. There is a huge parking lot and lots of seating if you want to dine in. There's lots of main dishes to choose from and some sides. I went for the BBQ pork skewers, pinakbet (veggie mix) and rice. I really liked the flavor of the BBQ however, the meat was chewy (like it's a day old). The pinakbet was really good. Tasted like how we cook it at home. Maybe next time the BBQ will be fresh. All the food looked really good but of course I couldn't try too many since we were just out for work lunch. There were a few people in line but it moved quickly. The staff were really friendly. The restaurant needs more decoration. Restaurant was plain and looked like a cafeteria. Overall experience was alright. Could be better.

    Really bad service. I went there on my Birthday with my kids to order a lot of food to celebrate. They had a promo on the counter above the advertised item(s) and did not honor it. The person that was helping me was very rude and obnoxious. The person said they have no such promo and I pointed it out and the person still did not honor it even though it is right there. There are better places you can go that has better service and food and that will honor their promos.

    Bbq sticks yummy

    Been coming here for years. Solid place for Filipino food. Bbq sticks here are always good and decent portion. It gets pretty HOT & a little stuffy inside but they do have a water cooler/dispenser and the staff is nice. Atmosphere is nice and quiet, all the customers seems to be enjoying their food in peace. Nothing bad to say about this place

    This is a casual Filipino eatery offering different kinds of Filipino dishes such as lechon kawali, sisig, barbecue, and many others. Fast or slow service depending on the time of the day or what day. Plenty of tables for dine-in, and located next to Bulacan Bakery, Island Pacific Supermarket, and many others establishments.

    Went here for brunch, as usual it was always a long line. Food is so-so and don't want to compare to other pinoy food providers. Need to work on their services and cleanliness

    Steam table of everything you need in Filipino cuisine. No balut though.

    The food was great. The service was meh... attitude adjustments needed. The atmosphere was nice. All in all, a decent Filipino food experience. Definitely better than 3 stars.

    Really old-tasting FRIED intestines... you can't even taste the "intestine" because it only tastes like OLD, gross oil.
    M M.

    Wasn't sure if the fried intestines would be good so took the minimum of $7 purchase-- I regret the purchase. It tastes like really, really, REALLY OLD oil. This thought came to my mind.. maybe all the unsold intestines would be refried again and again and again in the SAME oil until they sell all the intestines. That's how gross it tasted. Hopefully, this review will have them taste their food prior to selling. For the other item I purchased (lechon kawali), it was okay. Do I recommend this establishment? Probably not their fried items. They had maybe three families eating at the time I went in, so many their other entrees are okay but for me-- i can still taste the OLD OIL taste in my mouth which has ruined my interest in their other items.

    The party tray package deals are such a good deal! They have 4 different price point options and a good selection of dishes to choose from. I attached a couple menus for their regular dish selections for the packages, and the specialties you can upgrade to. When I'm not hosting a party, I do like to frequent this spot for a combo meal. It's about $13 for a 2 item combo and the quantity is good enough for at least 2 meals! Maybe 3 if you add a bit more rice lol My go to is the sisig and the kaldareta. The sisig has a nice citrus taste that pairs well with the fatty pork and the beef in the kaldareta is usually pretty tender. The sauce is so savory over rice, and I like that they add a piece of carrot/potato but focus more on giving you the beef! I've had the pork BBQ stick here but it's not as tender as I feel like it should be. The chicken adobo is always a classic though and the ginataang veggie dish is so yum! I just skip around the bitter melons! If you're in the mood for dessert, they have buko pandan containers for sale. The buko pandan is sooo coconutty and creamy with a strong pandan flavor. The jellies are nice and soft and squishy, but I do wish there was more young coconut strips in this. The inside has ample seating, and tends to have lines through out the day as it's a popular spot, right next to Island Pacific market. The menu is posted on the TVs so they do have a bit of a modern flair compared to other Filipino restos in the area.

    Traditional Filipino dishes [Vallejo CA]…read more We were in the area and were looking for a place to eat preferably serving Filipino cuisine since we have limited options in Roseville. Hubby found this restaurant and so we drove to the place. First thing you'll notice once you enter the restaurant is the warm temp inside - no AC but they have electric fans going on. To the right is a long shelf with a variety grocery items while the table seating is laid out in the center. TV was tuned in to a channel playing a Filipino movie. This is a "turo-turo" style food ordering, meaning no table service instead you go to where the dishes are cooked in large portions (which is towards the back of the restaurant) and you choose which ones you want. We ordered: Pork Sinigang - a little too sour for me but this is a classic Filipino soup with pork ribs, vegetables, and tamarind broth. Bistek (beef steak) - thin slices of marinated beef before smothered in a deeply savory sauce and topped with golden-seared onions Pork Adobo - classic Filipino dish of pork simmered in vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic Kaldereta - goat meat stew I didn't try the kaldereta but all the other dishes were good and delicious. You will definitely feel the Filipino hospitality here. Street parking. Maraming salamat! Review #3929

I had it with rice and I love that it came with a vinegary sauce. I'd love to pack fresh herbs and maybe some pickled vegs with me next time. Also tried their version of chorizo and it's slightly sweeter than the other version I've tried. Still really good and got some warm spices to it. I'd probably order it again but that pork is the main star. Ambiance is ok, not much to it but the service was very warm and friendly and welcoming.

The skin had that perfect crisp and crackle, and the meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Easily one of the best pork experiences you'll find anywhere. But what really makes this place special is the people behind it. Tita Marilyn has built something real here--you can feel the culture, the pride, and the consistency the moment you walk in. Heidi was on the chopping block today and absolutely dialed in--fast, precise, and on point. Reyna was as welcoming as ever and made the whole experience feel like family. That's what separates this place. It's not just great food--it's hospitality, tradition, and heart all in one. If you're looking for authentic Cebu lechon done right, this is the spot. No questio

V1 Grilled Turmeric Chicken - Wow, what a beautiful presentation; see pictures. With good flavors and generous portions, but I felt it needed a little more noodles? Or less lettuce?

Semi open kitchen, and amazing clean, especially for being 5 years new! See picture. Single unisex clean modern restroom. Open 5 days a week from Wednesdays to Sundays from 11am to 8pm.

Great job and keep up the good work. Price - $30 + generous tip. Cash discount available. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2020. What a great find!
