1. Spicy Hot Tamale and Fried Egg -- star of the meal! Flavorful in every bite, wish the portion was bigger 5/5 2. Ko'ko' Wings -- dry rub, very unique zesty flavor 5/5 3. Tinatak -- I'm a bit fan of coconut noodle dishes so this hit the spot! however, the noodle to sauce ratio was a bit off (needed more noodles) 4.5/5 4. BBQ brisket -- unfortunately not spectacular. good but would not order again. not particularly memorable 2.5/5 read more

The outdoor seating kept us nice and warm despite a very windy, cold day. Their tent and heater were very appreciated, and I felt they did a good job with the ambience compared to many other locals in the Mission which feel like temporary outdoor spaces. Service was great! We aren't that familiar with Chamorro cuisine (from Guam) so the dishes were hard to be confident about. They give us good tips and commentary to be sure we ordered popular items that fit our tastes and gave us enough for everyone. Note that the dishes were smaller than expected! Not tiny, but certainly not particularly hefty. We liked the experience, but I wasn't enamored by anything in particular. I'll come back if a friend invites me for sure, though. Glad to have this variety in the neighborhood since there's so much of the same cuisines otherwise. read more

I'm from NY, and I first visited Prubechu about 3.5 years ago at their old space. I hadn't had Guamanian food since, but had always remembered "I got to try Guamanian food in SF" and that I had enjoyed the experience (food, service, ambience, etc.) So, when I found myself back in San Francisco this week, I knew I had to stop by Prubechu once more. I got the bbq fiesta with the pork ribs, which were tender and sweet. Fiesta plate comes with red rice (probably my favorite part, actually), kimchi pickles (excellent palate cleanser), chicken kelaguen (shredded chicken), and fina'denne' sauce (which I tried on part of the rice and part of the chicken; didn't do much for me). Service was excellent. I'm vaccinated, but I appreciated that they were actually taking COVID precautions seriously, even for outdoor dining. Shawn, my server, was friendly and helpful (he recommended I try the fiesta plate because it's a good sampling, which is true). The food came super quickly--I doubt I waited 10 minutes after ordering. My sake cocktail was refreshing, too. Everything was tasty, prices were reasonable, service was great, atmosphere was nice. The best meal I've ever had? No. Would I come back if I lived in the city? Absolutely. Especially for the full pork roast, but I'd be interested in trying more of their dishes. read more

This is quite literally one of the best restaurants in San Francisco. The food was incredible and you don't have to break the bank to eat here. The bread is really light and fluffy and goes great with the butter they give and if you add a little hot sauce it'll be even better. The red rice was a good side and worth getting if you want to fill out your meal. The BBQ pork ribs are super fire and come right off the bone with each bite. The glaze on it is really well balanced and doesn't take away too much from the flavor of the meat either. The dipping sauce it comes with is good but I preferred eating it without it. The Ko'ko wings are fantastic, especially if you like a dry rub style wing and the sauce with it has a nice tang. The empanada is also really good and super crunchy. The best dish I had there was definitely the tinaktak which was a unique noodle dish with beef and a great assortment of veggies to top it off. Overall, this place was super spacious, had outdoor heated patio, and the service was superb. read more

Brought a friend to have him try Chamorro food. Overall delicious, but definitely feels a bit on the pricier end for what you get. Sweet rolls. Light and fluffy. Pulls apart easily and finishes well with the tuba butter. Chicken Kelaguan. Flavors were less strong than the ones I had in Guam, but this had a nice balance. Not too overpowering or lacking in flavor. Worth trying Kelaguan if you are here to explore new tastes. Red rice. Two bomb balls of chamorro-style rice. Crispy sweet & sour pork belly was tough and a bit dry for my liking. The vegetables in this were delicious though. BBQ Brisket. Tender and this was one of our top favorites. Drenched it with black finadenne sauce. Definitely thinking of coming back here if I ever want some BBQ with some classic chamorro tastes. read more

Great patio. Great service. The waiters and waitresses are very attentive and friendly. Food is well seasoned and delicious. For drinks, it really depends on your preference - I got the coconut with lime and it tastes a bit bland. read more

Tasty and unique meal with a decent amount of vegetarian options. Portions are pretty small though and many dishes aren't good for sharing. For example, if you're going to get the tamale with egg - it is literally just one tamale with one fried egg so it's pretty awkward to share. The koko wings are delicious and a must-try. read more

Nice staff. Small portions. Not shareable. Very expensive. Rice was very flavorful but everything else was . The side of chili oil alone was like $3-4 dollars.... & it's like a tbsp amount...... that's pretty ridiculous. But if your looking to try some food from Guam it's a nice spot. read more

Food was excellent! I've never had Chamorro food before so had no idea what to expect. After some extensive googling, I settled on the chicken kelaguen and coconut titiyas. I loved how this dish really didn't remind me of anything else I had before - the chicken had a bright lemony flavor and was served cold, and the titiyas (which are kind of like a tortilla but not quite - for example it was almost cracker like the next day after i put it in the fridge vs tortillas are usually still pliable). Also tried the lechen birenghenas (eggplant) which I also quite enjoyed - reminded me of baba ghanoush if it were more lemony. Prices admittedly aren't cheap, but worth it if you want try dishes that are hard to find anywhere else. read more

Loved the live music! The eggplant was amazing - probably the best eggplant dish I've had. Smoky, flavorful . . . um, um good. Not a cheap date, but definitely worthwhile for a great San Francisco experience (a sunny Sunday in the Mission with good food and live music). read more

What a treat! This was my first time have Guamanian good and certainly won't be the last. The SF summers make their outdoor patio such a delight to enjoy the very vibrant plates both in color and taste. We need a smorgasbord of apps + entrees to which they all were a delight. From the rolls, to tacos, to eggplant. Can't go wrong here. read more

We loved our dinner here! The service was so friendly and wonderful and we felt right at home. Sweet rolls and tuba butter Iceberg wedge w/ wasabi ranch Koko Wings Tinaktak (my favorite of the night! Delicious noodles) Gulf shrimp kelaguen & coconut titiyas (good but probably the weakest link) Chicken kelaguen & coconut titiyas BBQ Pork ribs (my 2nd favorite of the night!) Red rice Golai hagon suni (creamed spinach - could probably pass on this next time) Appan mendioka (cassava - others loved this but i could probably pass next time on this too) The sauces were the best part! The black fina'denne' and the white fina'denne' were both SO good and worth ordering to just dump on everything. Loved the garlicky oily crunch too. YUM. For dessert, we tried all three --banana fritters (my favorite), an ice cream cone thing, and something else wrapped in banana leaf (my least favorite) read more

Went to this restaurant many years ago when it was in a tiny space using small burners, and now thrilled it has not only survived Covid but is thriving in a new space.. Had a lovely dinner in their outdoor patio this past weekend. Delicious food and the service was to-notch: they make you feel like family. I dream of their Tinaktak and it did not disappoint. The ribs were fall off the bone tender. The eggplant was delicious. The red rice and chicken kelaguen were more subtle but also wonderful. If you're not sure what to get, just follow your servers lead. A wonderful dinner is guaranteed. read more

Disappointed!! I came with a friend who had visited Prubechu previously, and had such a phenomenal experience, that she wanted to return once more, before their closing at the end of September. I was really excited, since she had such a wonderful dine here previously. Sadly, our visit this time, was one big disappointment. I surmise that our extreme lackluster experience may be due to their anticipated closing at the end of this month. When my friend came here earlier this year, she was served good, generous portions of food. Not at all the case this time. Frankly, I think knowing they're closing altered their overall execution. It is surprising though, given the fact that the waiter mentioned that the hope to relocate at a later date. If that is indeed the case, I would think they would've made an effort to sustain the level of quality that earned them a good Yelp ratings to begin with. Such a shame. We both ordered the Chef's tasting menu, for $65. How they can justify the amount of food they serve for $65.00 is way beyond me. Very very small portions for mediocre food, which with taxes and tip, will cost you over $80.00. Not at all justified for what we were served! Bread, a couple of small appetizer size dishes, and the so-called "main" entree was a rice porridge dish with just a few diced pieces of meat, something better suited as a luncheon entree. I was so dismayed when the waiter announced that that the so-called main entree was going to be our last savory dish, before the dessert. Unbelievable, I thought, and I was right, as about three hours later, I was thinking we should have had a burrito at La Taqueria down the street instead. I ended up snacking that night on some super delicious homemade soup given to me by wonderful friends, which saved me that night from going to bed hungry! The highlight was the dessert, but that was literally a two bite item. This was my introduction to Guamanian cuisine, and probably my last, based on my experience here. I'm wondering now if there's a reason why we don't see an influx of Guamanian restaurants all over the culturally cuisine diverse Bay Area. I'm sure there's a mom or grandmother out there from Guam that makes delicious Guamanian food that I would just love, but she definitely wasn't in the kitchen at Prubechu! Setting was pretty loud, not exactly what I would describe as conducive to conversation. It was also somewhat unpleasantly warm inside, probably because of the small size of the restaurant, and the open kitchen with the gas stoves and flames burning like crazy. Perhaps ordering a la carte entrees may have been the better way to go. I was just so turned off by the whole experience, that I won't be giving them a second chance, even if they end up relocating. read more

One of the best restaurants in SF. Great good at a great price with great customer service - what more could you want?

4.5 STARS First times tend to be awkward and frankly not very good. Think about your first kiss...the first time you boinked.... Are you getting a mental picture yet? Ummm yah, I think the only memorable moment was being able to brag to your friends about how "awesome" it was to pop your cherry. More like awesomely awkward and disappointing especially if the dude's headgear cuts your lip but hey, no one has to know that. Shhhh... Last night was the first time I tried Guam cuisine and it was anything but awkward or disappointing. Grand opening on Tuesday, Prubechu took over old Roxy's location. The executive chef previously worked with Chef Manny at Mr. Pollo and the GM previously worked at The Palace so it was no surprise to see a similar concept. Balling on a budget as I would call it. For just $40, you get a five course tasting menu plus two amuse bouches and a dessert which is a fantastic deal. There's also an a la carte menu available. Beer & wine only. CC's accepted. Prubechu is SF's first Guam restaurant so expect to see Spanish and Filipino influenced cuisine with a refined Californian twist. The chef shops daily for his ingredients so the menu may change on a daily basis depending on what's seasonally available. FIVE COURSE TASTING MENU - $40: http://bit.ly/1eXPm1d *Amuse bouche: Oyster w/ coconut vinegar & kiwi: http://bit.ly/1lCMG1G (1) 9 Minute Egg w/ avocado & caramelized soy: http://bit.ly/LBD1Ys (2) Chicken Keleguan w/ coconut, scallion & titiyas & amuse bouche of pickled veggies: http://bit.ly/1btHZh6 (3) Shrimp Patty w/ corn & peppers: http://bit.ly/1iwq9i2 (4) Chalakilis w/ porridge, smoked pork belly, achiote & quail egg: http://bit.ly/1g5Nsxm (5) Kadu w/ short ribs, rice, peas, potato, mung bean sprouts: http://bit.ly/1fVXTEW *Complimentary Housemade Coconut & Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream: http://bit.ly/1iwqKjy A freshly shucked oyster with a tropical twist nicely started our dinner. For the first course, I would have preferred a more runny egg but the creamy avocado and the savory pungent caramelized soy added another dimension that more than made up for it. Like a flatbread, the Chicken Keleguan was very satisfying especially with the kewpie and chili peppers for a creamy, fiery bite. The shrimp patty was presented as a "soufflé" but the texture was more like scrambled eggs. This was my least favorite of the tasting menu. Moving on to the more stick to your ribs courses, the Chalakilis was like a rendition of pork and grits. Slightly caramelized around the edges, the tender pork belly had a nice smokiness to it and was heightened when dipped into the runny quail egg. My favorite dish of the night was the Kadu. Comfort in a bowl, the chunk of English cut short rib was incredibly tender and totally hit a soft spot with the slightly sticky rice. The tasting menu ended with a complimentary dessert of Housemade Coconut & Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream that was enjoyably rich and not too sweet. Loved the sprinkling of pie crust (?) for that textural contrast. Service was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. Since Guam cuisine is new to many people, the staff was more than happy to explain it to us. Food service was timely. Expect to spend about 2 hours for the tasting menu. On the intimate side, Prubechu makes for a great date place. There's just six 2-tops, two 4-tops, one 6-top, and several counter seats overlooking the open kitchen so do make reservations as I expect this place to get busy once the word gets out about this place. Overall, Prubechu's food is a solid 4 stars (there's always room for improvement right?) while service was 5 stars. 4.5 stars and rounding up for having the balls to open a restaurant with a cuisine that's unbeknownst to most. Especially to someone who thought Guam cuisine was Filipino cuisine. And, I'm part Filipina... =X read more

CHAMORROS KNOW HOW TO FEED PEOPLE!!! (5 stars) This is the first Guam/Chamorro restaurant in SF. Serving authentic home-cooked meals and elevate it to another level of art with elegance and extraordinary taste to give your palette an experience. - FOOD, so delicious and very filling (see my pictures) - PRICES, fair - SERVICE, the best, very professional - AMBIANCE, simple - i like it Thank you Chef Shaun and other Shaun for keeping me company and educating me on the art of Chamorro cooking. I have alot of Chamorro friends in WA and these two guys are now my first in SF. They just opened so their menu is limited for the moment. They have a 5 tasting course ($40 - and well worth it, those portions were mini meals) OR you can do an Ala Carte with two dishes. I chose the 5 tasting course to be able to consume multiple dishes in one sitting. Also, I was given other dishes to sample that were not on that tasting menu. ISLANDER GENEROSITY. Tasting #1: MIYAGI w/ VINEGAR, COCONUT, AND KIWI DRESSING - I love fresh shucked oysters on its own with very minimal dressing because dressings usually mask the flavor of a raw oyster. The vinegar, coconut, and kiwi was a perfect light combination to compliment the miyagi oyster. the flavors were subtle. Light hints of coconut and kiwi were a hit for this dish. Also, I learned that the vinegar comes from the coconut tree. Very interesting information. Tasting #2: EGG w/ AVOCADO AND CARAMELIZED SOY - this was not your typical boiled egg. The egg was soft boiled and very delicate. It was split in half and sitting on a fluff of creamy avocado puree, divided by the caramelized soy and drizzled with chickweed (the green stuff), and sprinkled lightly with Iranajan salt (that's a village in Guam - some lady takes the water from where the ocean and the river meet and goes through a process of fermentation to get the salt). Again, very interesting information. For me this dish had a play between salty and sweet, my palette loves salty and sweet combinations so I really enjoyed this dish. Tasting #3: CHICKEN KELEGUAN - served on flat bread made from coconut milk instead of water and topped with fennel sprouts. The flatbread was had a nice soft crunch on the edges and it is a little more dense then other flatbreads but it has a different flavor as it was made with coconut milk. the chicken keleguan was really good and and made with quality. It was topped with fennel sprouts which gave it color and some herbal flavor. TITIYAS! Tasting #4: PICKLED VEGGIES - pickled cauliflower, pickled green daikon, pickled regular daikon, and pickled watermelon red radish. Everything pickled. My favorite was the pickled watermelon red radish. Tasting #5: SHRIMP PATTY - shrimp patty and shaved Jerusalem artichokes & cucumbers. Usually shrimp patties are fried, their presentation was more of a souffle style. I'm use to the heavy shrimp patties and more oily but this one wasn't like that and had a "healthier" approach to it. The jerusalem artichokes and cucumbers were a nice palette refresher when eating something like a shrimp patty. Tasting #6: CHALAKILIS - it's Guam's version of rice porridge. Served with rice, pork belly and braised smoked meat with tiny quail egg and flavors of tumeric. THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DISHES OF THE EVENING. I love Chalakilis and this was SO BOMB. Very filling, it literally was a mini meal on its own. The porriadge was this deep tan color and it had an incredible flavor, the pork belly and smoked meat just put everything together. The boiled quail egg wasn't overly cooked, when I popped the quail egg in my mouth the yolk squirted out. YUM. Tasting #7: KADU - shortrib, rice, peas, potato, mung bean sprouts, savory/rich soup base, and a dabble of finadene on top. This reminds me very much of a Filipno soup dish but a different twist to it. The shortrib was perfectly prepared and the soup base was very savory and rich, I can just eat the soup and rice by itself and be happy. THIS WAS MY OTHER FAVORITE DISH OF THE EVENING. I was so full after Tasting #6, I took a few bites of Tasting #7 and pack the rest up. Tasting #8: ICECREAM - dessert, "manha" (young coconut), Tahitian vanilla, cookie crumbles, and sweet pansies (flowers). HOUSEMADE. The icecream was the perfect way to end a very savory #7 course tasting meal. I love icecream so I know when to judge icecream. The young coconut flavor could be tasted and the after-taste of Tahitian vanilla. The cookie crumbles provided texture and enjoyed it. Who would have ever thought of eating flowers with your icecream, THEY DID. I left slightly bent over and can barely walk. THAT'S HOW GOOD THIS PLACE IS. Will I be back? YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK ME TWICE. JABA APPROVED. Until the next review... read more

The service and ambience is on point. I love that there's outdoor seating. For those of you who are booze free they have an awesome NA menu. I had the "michel-nada"( NA michelada)and it was reallyyy tasty. Also ! Bottomless sparkling water! I have always walked by this place and I finally went in. They have lots of vegan / vegetarian options. I got the bbq eggplant ! Woooo it was so good ! Some of the best food I've had in a while. Those of you who like seafood or meat the plates that were coming out looked pretty damn good ! Highly recommend this place. Thanks to the staff for being friendly and hospitable. Also, thanks to the kitchen/ bar for awesome food and drink ! I'll definitely be back ! read more

Amazing food and service. Small portions but tasted so good and fresh. Loved the decoration in the patio, felt almost like I was away in vacation. Would recommend and will be coming back soon to try more dishes! read more

This was probably the meal I was most looking forward to and it did not disappoint! Highlights for me were their version of shrimp and grits, the koko wings (there was some kind of mala spice in the breading), bbq ribs, and the shrimp kelaguen (which is a kind of cerviche). It was my first time trying Chamorro food from Guam and all my tastebuds were super happy. Outdoor patio had super fun vibes on a Sunday morning, oldies were blasting, and the owners couldn't be nicer. Can't wait to come back! read more

Just all around!! Every dish is so incredibly unique, flavorful and DELISH! Hats off

2 STARS for food/value, 4 STARS for service. If you look closely at the review of Prubechu, most Yelpers will agree on each dish being pretty disappointing. While $40 for a 5-course sounds like great value, esp given their predecesors (Roxy, Mr. Pollo) had done something similar you would think they wouldn't fall too far from the tree. Everything tasted and felt cheap, but at least now I can say I've had Guam food? My only hesitation in writing this review is that the owners/managers were so amazing, and the wine was good and so reasonably priced! Well onto the reviews of each item we ordered: * Complimentary Somerset Oyster (5 STARS): Delicious dressing, flavorful and fresh oyster. What an amazing way to start the meal unfortunately it was mostly downhill from here. * Ahi Tuna Sashimi w/Egg (2 STARS): The tuna was shockingly low grade tasting, and I could probably make a better seasoned egg. A nice attempt at an upscale dish but not executed well and ingredients sub-par. * Ceviche Style Chicken (1.5 STARS): An interesting dish which may originate from Guam? Not something I've ever had. The chicken is shredded and cooked ceviche style (with citrus juice). However, the end result is a dry tuna-like shredded chicken taco. * Shrimp dish (1 STAR): I forget what this was called exactly but it comes in a small ceramic dish baked in a thick yellow sauce. I couldn't help but think how much it reminded me of United Airlines food on international flights. * Rice, Pork, Potato Soup (3 STARS): This is good but tastes like the soup my mom makes when there is leftover rice which she rehydrates with extra pork soup. * Porridge (5 STARS): I don't know exactly what was in this porridge, and I never though porridge could be this amazing, but it was really flavorful, savory, and delicious. I had to resist licking my bowl clean. * Coconut Ice Cream with Candied Nuts (4.5 STARS): This was so delicious, especially with the candied nuts - I could eat it all day and would buy it to take home if I could! It was an amazing way to end the meal. There were low lights and highlights, mostly low lights. A unique Guam meal, but the value wasn't there for me. Sorry guys! read more

Was on a solo trip and decided to give Prubechu a try. The short story is that the food was excellent. The Chamorro sweet rolls melt in your mouth and might be the best rolls that I've ever eaten. The red rice was the perfect compliment to the pork belly and bbq ribs. The atmosphere is lively and the outside venue is a plus. The staff could have ignored me given that I was a party of one on a busy Saturday night, but no less that 5 staff members stopped by to check-in on me. It was very much appreciated. read more

Prubechu took over the old Commonwealth and was part 4 of our food crawl. Patio was spacious and heated and servers were super friendly. The food was super salty though. I love salt and it was too salty for me. I would pass on the wasabi tempura shrimp next time. Rice and pork platter was good, but again, really salty. You definitely need beer or wine to get it down. This was more of a three star experience, but only giving out five stars during Covid to help out the restaurants. read more

Excellent food, very unique - not typically found in San Francisco. Wings were amazing. Very nice ambience and great service.

Overall 4.25, would recommend! Crab tamale (5 stars): lots of fresh crab, chili crisp, and melt in your mouth tamale. My favorite dish of the meal Tinaktak (4 stars): large chunks of ground beef and mushrooms in a creamy sauce with egg noodles. Friends said it reminded them of stroganoff, and it was like a more tropical version and not as heavy Fiestas (4 stars): huge portions! The veg one came with these amazing coconut creamed greens, as well as a veg tamale and eggplant. The pork rib one came with several large pieces of juicy pork (some edge pieces were drier but had that caramel iced flavor) and some tangy ground chicken. Rice was delicious as well Wings (4.25 stars): crispy slightly sweet batter. Most of the meat was juicy, some pieces just a tad drier Chamorro sweet rolls (4.5 stars): a twist in Parker house rolls, with a fun tangy coconut vinegar whipped butter. Came out warm and pillowy. Not a huge portion which was nice for saving space for the rest of the meal Service was great, and it felt super safe. Temperature checks at the door and masks up at all times unless actively eating/drinking. Outdoor patio seating with heaters and half of it was also under a tent. Made a reservation for brunch several days prior read more

Love the new spot my first meal here was at there old location and I had to visit them once sip was lifted and I felt safe to travel out, it's outdoor dining here so dressing warmer and order more food lol...

I had a very bad experience at Prubechu the other day that resulted in me canceling a reservation despite the $10 penalty per person. Here is what happened: I was waiting in line outside waiting to be seated in the outdoor patio, which is the only seating available now in time of COVID. I needed to use the restroom pretty bad, so I walked up to the guy in charge and told him I had a reservation and whether I could use the restroom in the meantime. He looked at me as if I was trying to cut the line and said "You have to wait in line". I told him I understood, but I just needed to quickly use the restroom first. He again replied with "you need to wait in line" in a rude tone. I walked away very disappointed with this level of service and cancelled my reservation online. I was fortunate to easily find another great restaurant in the Mission district who allowed me to use the restroom despite having no reservation and before I was assigned a table. Fwiw, Prubechu's outdoor arrangement is not great since it is a few tables in a parking lot with barely any shade. So, not great in this scorching weather right now. So, I ended up glad I had cancelled despite losing $20 to a rude waiter. read more

Solid 4.5 stars! We have never had Guamanian food before so we ordered the Fiesta Table for three. We got to try eight different dishes.

I want to reiterate that EVERYTHING was good. Lots of new flavors and excellent service is why we will return soon! read more

The place is really cute and had plenty of open seats when we showed up so we probably didn't even need a reservation. Because we had 8 people, we could only get the 6 course tasting menu for $65 each. They didn't have a menu of the items because they're seasonal so they just explained each dish as it came out. I've never had Guamian cuisine before so I was pretty excited to try this place. After all 6 dishes, I have to say my favorite was the dessert - coconut salted caramel ice cream. The ice cream had a lot of shredded coconut in it, which was a really interesting texture. The taste was extremely rich and probably the best salted caramel ice cream I've ever had in terms of flavor. However the other dishes didn't really impress me. I found them lacking in terms of flavor complexity. They tasted overwhelmingly salty or acidic to me. My second favorite part of this meal was probably the lightly breaded egg in the porridge. I'm really glad that I tried the place, especially since I hear that it's closing soon. I am down to try more Guamian food but for now I have to say Prubechu looked better than it tasted. read more

Great service, good food, poor air quality. After seeing all the glowing reviews, I decided to bring 7 of my friends here visiting from out of town. The restaurant is pretty narrow and had two long tables set up for large parties and 4 small single top tables. For large parties, it's mandatory that everyone gets the $40 five course prefix menu. None of us had ever had Chamorro food so it was awesome when our server was very knowledgable and detailed in the explanation of each dish. I enjoyed 4 out of the 5 on the tasting menu. Worst dish - fried sardines on eggplant Best dish - coconut ice cream with pieces of these delicious chewy pieces described as tapioca patties roasted in banana leaf. I could've eaten 5 courses of this dish alone. The open kitchen did not seem like a real kitchen. There was a line of table top hot plates and no vent to suck out the fumes. At one point, some spicy peppers were being cooked and everyone at our table started coughing. I would not recommend coming here if you have plans after dinner because you will smell. read more

Amazing atmosphere with the outdoor dining. Definitely start off your meal with Philz hot coffee paired with their amazing Chamorro Sweet Rolls! My absolute favorite was their spicy hot tamales and fried egg along with the Koko wings. The dishes just have that perfect balance of spices and flavor. They chefs do a fantastic job adding unique and creative touches to the dishes. Try a little bit of everything you won't be disappointed! read more
