November 17, 2025 - I got the garlic fried rice, eggplant with tofu in black bean sauce and grilled chicken. All the food was really good. No complaints with the food. It was all really good. You can really taste the garlic in the fried rice and you can even see little pieces of garlic in it. The eggplant and tofu in black bean sauce was also well sauced and flavoured. Finally, the grilled chicken was really good, flavoured well and tender. Everything is as advertised and as expected. read more

The Food is great. But there is no option to pay using credit card. The only options are debit or cash. Which I find it unusual for a restaurant. read more

We visited on Valentine Day. Plaza parking was full and had to park on street a block away. We were greeted warmly by friendly waiter. He gave good service. We ordered pancit sampaguita, Sisig, Sinigang, inihaw na baboy, and garlic rice. Food was ok but on the salty side. We had halo halo for dessert. Servings were huge. read more

I wish the place could have been a lot more. The place lacks some theming and branding. There is not much embelishment in the counters or walls, and you pick food items from a cheaply prepared laminated menu. It could use a little more sprucing up to add a little more touch of Filipiniana. As it is right now, it is just a place you go to eat and nothing more. I am hoping for a place in Little Manila where people actually make it a destination where they actually properly dine and take in the Filipino culture. This is in stark contrast to the many comparable Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Ethiopian restaurants where you could really feel the cultural immersion in the way the place is decorated. For food, the house combos were nice. It is very filling and great value money-wise. However, they could have done better to make it more true to the authentic Filipino cuisine. Grilled chicken and pork chop are not signature Filipino dishes. I was also surprised to find Korean beef included as one of the menu items. The service we received was also underwhelming. The servers are not easily identifiable being in their own civilian attire. The new, young lady server that handed over our bill was also severely lacking in training. She was ignorant about a little history of the restaurant and got the computation for our bill all messed up. I wanted to love this place. However, as it is right now, I would not feel proud of bringing my non-Filipino friends here. It does not give a good impression of Filipino hospitality, culture, and tradition. read more

This family-run restaurant has been around in the Bathurst-Wilson area for almost 2 decades, and is frequented by a lot of regulars. It tends to get packed during prime meal hours (lunch and dinner), and they don't take reservations (first come, first served). Tip is already included in the bill, and they don't take Visa or MasterCard (so bring debit card or cash). The restaurant specializes in Filipino-Chinese dishes, serving Filipino classics such as Sinigang Soup, Pancit, Garlic Rice, and various grilled proteins. It has a very homey feel. The owners and staff are all super friendly and make us feel very welcomed every time. The dishes come out lightning fast (except the grilled fish - but it's well worth the wait because they make it fresh in-house), yet they never make us feel rushed during our meals. Every dish is DELICIOUS and tastes healthy without being too salty, oily, or greasy (unlike in some other Chinese / Filipino restaurants). All the dishes that we tried have been pure perfection, and in big family-style portion sizes - perfect for sharing! The Grilled Pompano is very meaty and you can taste the charred grill taste. Mixed Vegetables consist of broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, eggplant, carrot, and mushrooms - this is one of my favourite dishes. Sinigang Soup is always a homey comfort that reminds me of Southeast Asia. You can choose different contents for the soup (e.g. vegetables, shrimps, bangus fish, etc.). It's one of my favourite veggie soups since childhood. The most popular dessert is the Halo-Halo (literal translation: "mix-mix"). It's a great ending to every meal, especially in the summer. It consists of shaved ice with vanilla ice cream and various fillings such as shaved coconut, sweet beans, coconut jellies, corn, ube (sweet taro), and condensed milk. 5 out of 5 for all aspects of this restaurant: the food (quality, taste, freshness, healthiness - depending on what you order), portion size, customer service, friendliness, the casual and homey ambience / welcoming atmosphere. Really great value for your meals. read more

We came here before heading back home. The moment we open the door, everyone was so welcoming. We're a large group so they immediately got us set up in a long table. When we got seated, just warm people welcomed us. We were advised that since we're a large group that automatic gratuity will be added and of course we said yes. Our food was made fast, every single dish that we ate was a no frills just delicious food. The Garlic rice brought memories, it's made exactly how my Lola (grandma) makes it. I absolutely enjoyed every spoon of it. Now the Lechon Kawali was for the win! I had to order another serving because it was that good. It was crunchy and melt in your mouth, how they cook it that way just blew my mind. Its like Hong Kong style pork belly. The Beef Bulalo hits the spot. The Pancit was all gone as well. I would highly recommend this place when you're in Toronto. I wish we have this place in Orlando. Thomas & The Owner even checked on us and they're hospitality is top notch!! read more

I came to Sampaguita Village expecting to be blown away. It was after alleged to be one of the best (if not the best) Filipino restaurants in the city. Sampaguita is a very simple restaurant smack in the middle of little Manila. We arrived at lunch when the place was fairly busy, but there were still tables available. We were directed to a table, given some menus and glasses of water. The décor is very simple and the servers are expeditious and friendly. I am not sure if the restaurant is family-run but it certainly has that feel. We ordered the crispy chicken, the Lechon Kawali (roasted pork belly), the Filipino Beef Steak and a garlic rice. The food was so good it, it bordered on addictive. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and had a nice smoky flavor. It was very difficult to stop eating. The Lechon Kawali was some of the best I have ever had. It was not excessively fatty, had a nice crispy skin and was very tender. The garlic rice is the best if you love garlic. It was so loaded with so much garlic, that I could smell the dish before I even saw it. As someone who really enjoys garlic, I wouldn't have it any other way. However, I probably wouldn't order it if I were on a date. The beef steak was also very good, though not as good as the chicken and the pork. It was a very large portion of sautéed beef and was tender and tasty. The gravy it came in complimented the garlic rice perfectly. Sampaguita Village met my expectations. Easily one of the best (if not the best) Filipino restaurants in Toronto. Will be back for sure. read more

I am 1/2 Filipino and wanted to introduce my friend to Filipino food. I had seen this place on Yelp get good reviews, so we came here for lunch one day. It felt like I was walking into a family's home. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. I wanted her to try a bunch of different things so the server suggested one of the combination plates to split. There was SO much food. Every bit of it tasted amazing. I have eaten at a lot of Filipino restaurants both in North America and in the Philippines, but my mom's food was always better in my opinion. Sampaguita Village, however, was the first Filipino restaurant I've been too that tasted like real home cooking like my moms. Can't wait to be back! read more

The food is yummy and the service is swift but the dining area is A little bit crowded.

Always good food and great service! Been my go to place for a very long time now.. every time I'm home this is where i go to get my fix for great authentic filipino cuisine. Excellent service as well through out the years. read more

I'm a Filipina, and since this restaurant happens to be in Little Manila, my rating is going to be pretty tough. It is a popular place with Filipinos and non Filipinos alike; but with relatives and friends that can cook way better AND the close proximity of many other Filipino eateries in the area, I'd rather go somewhere else. Not much in the way of ambiance, and the service is hurried, not very personable. read more

This review is strictly for take out. DO NOT do take out here, only eat in the restaurant! First of all, they were closed in the first few months of COVID but nowhere on their website indicated this. Then they updated their website and increased the prices, which is totally fine since their prices were more than fair and to recoup from COVID. However, the website was still difficult to navigate with incorrect menu descriptions with a frustrating online order process that simply didn't work. They had THE WORST packaging I've ever seen with super cheap small flimsy paper boxes for deep fried items like Lechon and crispy squid that made the items super soggy and the batter fell off. We ordered the Pinakbet, which nowhere on their online menu mentioned bitter melon but it came with mainly bitter melon which none of us enjoy. My mom found the dish had a foul smell. Other than the grilled chicken everything else just didn't measure up to when we enjoyed them in the restaurant. I would strongly recommend to dine in whenever they reopen because they do offer friendly service and the food is tasty. Too bad that we had a really poor experience with take out. I hyped this place up so much that it was such a let down for my parents. I also attempted to provide them feedback directly but I never was acknowledged. A simple "thank you for your feedback" would have avoided this review. read more

Highly recommended !! We traveled from CA and was so impressed with this place. The food is super flavorful and authentic. The kare kare and lechon kawali are amazing ! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant has an inviting and friendly vibe. 100% would come back if we get a chance to visit Toronto again!! read more

Total hole-in-the-wall that I've walked by tons of times before and finally decided to give it a shot. I went with one other (quite hungry) person and we ordered garlic rice, pinakbet, and a grilled pork chop/crispy squd combo. Firstly, we WAY underestimated the portions. Two fairly ravenous big eaters managed to finish the squid and pork and just barely finished the rice (probably because it was bomb). We had about 2/3 of the pinakbet left. So I can firmly say that you will not leave hungry, and the price is fair for the quality and quantity. The pork chop was succulent, very tasty with a bit of dark glaze, although the spots close to the bone were a bit too red for me to be comfortable with. (Still tons of meat). The crispy squid was perfect - hot, fresh, good crunch to the batter, good quality squid. The pinakbet was not my favorite but I kept stealing lechon and shrimp out of it and the noodles were tasty. The garlic rice deserves a paragraph of its own. OMG. So garlicky, slightly sticky, just wonderful. I'd happily eat an order of this with an egg and leave happy and full having ingested probably half my day's caloric intake. 5/5, will return. read more

3 .5 stars Food: good but nothing outstanding. Ordered the Sampiguita pancit which was probably my favourite dish. 2 different noodles, crisp veggies, large chunks of chicken, lechon and shrimp. It was also very nicely sauced. The bulalot was an oxtail soup with onions and napa cabbage.... That's it. It has a very basic flavour profile and while comforting like home cooking... not outstanding. lumpia Shanghai was good, very fresh and clean tasting but not as crispy as the lumpia I am accustomed to. Also ordered the grilled chicken which was very tender (definitely all dark meat) and the typical sweet marinated and charred flavour profile of most Filipino bbq'ed meats. Service: if you've ever been to a filipino's house for any type of social gathering then you will be familiar with the cultures above and beyond level of friendliness and hospitality. The staff here are no exception! They are very friendly and accomadating! Overall it was a very good casual dining experience. Service was quick and food was great for price point. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! Pro tip. The restaurant is VERY crowded by 630 pm even on a weekday. We went at 530 on a Wednesday and snagged a table before the rush. Within the hour the entire Restaurant was full so get there before 630!! read more

Such a lovely family restaurant! We came for lunch on Wednesday, and there were some empty tables, but they quickly filled up within fifteen minutes. We ordered the Pancit Sampaguita, which was their recommendation, Lechon Kawali & Shrimp, as well as Crispy Chicken. The house sauces are delicious, and seemed to work with every type of meat. A few pieces of pork belly were slightly burnt and too crispy, but otherwise the food was of great quality. The portions are quite large as well, and we had plenty of leftovers. Service was decent - all our food came out within five minutes, but there was never any water refills - I think the staff got quite busy during the lunch rush. All around amazing food at an affordable price. read more

This little mum and pop resto is a hit. It hits close to home. By far the best filipino garlic rice I have ever had but shhh dont tell my mom (sorry mom). This place is a chinese and filipino fusion. I stongly recommend the short ribs with garlic rice, its about $16 before tax but the portion is good enough for 2 people. I usually get the sinigang ( pork tamarjnd soup) it adds a sour kick to all the salty foods you and its nice to have a hot soup with your meal. The place could use a uplift. The hall way to the washroom was cluttered with boxes and such but it didnt really bother me that much, just remember if your going to eat here, its def not fine dining, but the food is so worth it. read more

I was craving Filipino food and found this place on Yelp. I loved the reviews and photos and also happened to be in the area during the weekend so I came here for dinner. Whooaaaa, this place was PACKED with people lining out the door! Finding parking in the plaza was near impossible, I would say if you're stuck finding a parking space, try the side streets. Thankfully, after circling around for the third time, I found parking! Also, I was eating alone and didn't mind sharing a table so a waitress was able to settle me to a seat almost immediately. I have to admit, I am not an expert in Filipino dishes and had to refer to some of the Yelp photos to guide my food choice. When it came time to order, the waitress was kind enough to give me some helpful suggestions. For how packed that restaurant was, I would say food came out rather quickly. I ordered a veggie Sinigang and pancit bihon. Both were very delicious!! Because I shared my table, I was faced with dishes that my table mates ordered and it looked mouthwatering to me. Definitely, the next time I return, I may bring a friend or two so that we may order a couple more dishes together as Filipino eating is very communal. Highly recommend this location the only downside is the parking. read more

When a place is filled with locals you know you are off to a great start. It's a small, no frills place that serves up a big bang The portion sizes are generous and the prices are decent. I don't eat Filipino food often, as to be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of it, but this is one of the better places I've been to. I believe it's a family run restaurant so there is care put into the quality of the food. Definitely get a few items to share - you won't leave hungry. The service is super friendly and quick. BBQ Chicken , pork belly (I don't eat pork but my friends said it was delicious), veggies (gotta get the greens in), crispy squid, everything I tried was really good. The food came in a decent time and was hot. The parking lot is small and I can see how it can get packed as other reviewers mentioned. Try street parking as an option read more

3.5 Star Sampaguita Village does have a feel of a down to earth hole in the wall restaurant in a little village where everyone drop by for dinner. This place was packed and the parking lot was a nightmare. I ended up parked at one of the meters on the side streets, even paying for parking was worth it compare trying to fight for a free spot in the parking lot. Since I was with a regular of Sampaguita Village, I left the ordering to the expert and ended up we shared: BBQ Chicken ($4.95) Pancit Sampaguita ($11.95) Spicy Shrimp ($11.55) The food was tasty and portion size was more than enough for 3 of us to share. The service here is fast and friendly. Tips: the pop or ice tea costs $2.50 a can?! Seriously.... don't care that! read more

Ok, so just a quick update on a recent food binge we had here. Came for the lechon kawali, which is the deep fried pork belly and for $17, the serving shrunk to a point of non existence resulting to losing our appetites. Really??! It was ridiculously small in comparison to a slab of fresh pork belly you can purchase from the grocery store (which I'm sure they can get way cheaper in bulk from Chinese suppliers). I'd price it at $12 the most based on portion, these are boiled to tenderness and then deep fried until crispy. Pretty simple process, especially with an expensive pressure cooker to cut some corners. Not many ingredients is used to put 'fancy gold flakes' pricing on it. It clearly states on the menu that the lechon kawali is priced based on current per pound pricing but I can get a slab of fresh pork belly for the $17!! This is why Filipino cuisine is never the go-to place when you are on a budget and a hefty appetite. Ample portion sizes is never our forte, sadly. read more

This place is very quaint. Casual atmosphere. Noise level is average. I noticed the owner himself was cleaning the tables and making sure customers were being attended properly. We spoke to him and he's so funny. He made our meal even greater with his great personality! The staff were pleasantly friendly. Even though the place is small, it remains so clean! We ordered crispy pata and fried shrimp . They were amazing!! Very crispy and very tender inside! I made room for dessert, of course. I had Halo Halo. My favorite Filipino dessert!!! Yummy!! read more

Sampaguita Village is a Filipino-Chinese fusion restaurant in Midtown Toronto. Just by the sheer number of local Filipino people dining in the restaurant, I knew that I was in for something good (or authentic, at the very least). The owner of the restaurant occasionally works as a server, and he's one of the best things about the place. He's attentive, apologetic when he drops the ball (the restaurant is usually jam-packed and things slip by, as expected), and very kind. The food is very inexpensive and the portions are huge. You definitely won't be leaving Sampaguita hungry, that's for sure. I've had the chance the try the fried rice, noodles, and calamari, and all three were awesome. I'll definitely be back to try the house special noodles and fried chicken next time around. read more

The moment you eat at this place, you know that it's run by a person who cares about food. I haven't met the owner, but I can tell that he's set a high standard for his staff. I'm amazed at how efficiently this place is run. It's like a well-oiled machine. On weekends, there's a typically a lineup of 5-10 people at any given time waiting for a table. That's typically a good sign. The staff at Sampaguita Village is very friendly and efficient. The food tastes great. Consistently. My all-time favourite is Pancit Sampaguita. Get a Medium one if it's meant for one person. Otherwise, if you get a regular sized portion, you can easily share it. When I'm in that neighbourhood, I like to drop by for lunch. I'm usually the only white guy in the restaurant since the majority of other patrons tend to be Filippino. That's another good sign because it means that the food is authentic. Being a frequent patron of Thai, Japanese, Mexican, and Indian restaurants, I don't know that many Filippino restaurants in Toronto, but this place is for sure my favourite Filippino restaurant. read more

Located at Wilson and Bathurst an area synonymous with Filipino restaurants and businesses. Sampaguita Village is a Filipino/Chinese restaurant that leans much more to it's Filipino side and that makes me happy. It's a no nonsense place that does traditional Filipino dishes the justice they deserve. Most Filipino places have all of the choices precooked and are served as part of meal (think Manchu Wok). Sampaguita is a sitdown meal with wait staff serving full dishes of made on order food (think Chinese restaurant). The dining area is simple an array of large and small tables. Some bamboo details, a mural of Filipino life and 2 tv's. It's an open kitchen which means that the smell, the smoke and the chatter from the cooks flows throughout the space. The best part about this place is the food. It's always busy and I can understand why. We tried some Filipino favorites and enjoyed them thoroughly. Lechon Kawali (crispy fried pork), pancit canton (thick egg noodles w/ veggies in a tasty sauce), beefsteak (thinly sliced beef w/ onions in a rich sauce) and the best Garlic rice I've ever had (think Chinese fried rice w/o all the soy sauce just lots of garlic). The prices are reasonable you can feed 4ppl for a little over $40. If your alone they have a lunch menu ($10) that includes rice and meat entree with a little steamed bok choy. We do take out all the time and plan to get some party size dishes made for our next party. Next time your in the area or shopping at Yorkdale (it's not far) and are looking for something different (or craving for that familiar taste) try them out. read more

I am always scouting for new foods to try and right now I got my eyes on Filipino food. Had the kiwali (very crispy prok), shrimps, crispy pata, seafood fried rice, and the bangus. The highlight is definitely the kiwali. This is the most crispy pork skin I've ever had. It's similar to Chinese style but in my opinion even better because of the crispiness. It's also less fatty. It's more expensive vs the Chinese counterpart but worth it in my opinion. It cost about $20 for a takeout box which I think is around 1lb. The crispy pata I had before at another restaurant. This is about $13 which is cheaper but also smaller portion which is more flexible. Tastes what I expected. Fatty, crispy goodness. Totally would order again. The shrimps were ok. Not much seasoning. Lightly fried. Seafood fried rice because you need some carbs to go with the food. Nothing special. Might try the garlic rice next time. Bangus was meaty. It's my first time trying this fish. It's ok. Meal came with some dipping sauces. Would totally do again. No dine in. Guy takes your order from the front door and you pick up in 15-20 mins. read more

Sampaguita is my first Filipino Restaurant I have ever been to (yes, Filipino). Great atmosphere. When you walk inside, it truly feels like home. The food looks as good as their menu.

One of the better Filipino places I've been too. That being said, I don't have filipino food often because I always end up ordering a lot of fatty fried food, and little to no veggies. The prices here are very reasonable.... portion size is very generous. Ordered the Lechon Kawali, which was delicious. Some pieces were a little fattier than at other places I've had it, but most of them were okay. The medium size is actually pretty big. It also came with 2 sauces on the side... no idea what they were, but they did go well with the pork. Also ordered the Pancit Sampaguita noodle dish. I thought it was only okay. It seemed to be dominated by a strong celery taste, and I'm not the biggest fan of celery. I also found it rather greasy. My wife enjoyed it though. I'll return to try some other dishes, and order the Lechon Kawali as well. Probably will avoid the weekends given that other reviews mention its packed then. read more

Not bad, not bad, not bad. My boyfriend and I went on Thursday, around 11:45AM thinking they'd still be closed (it looks like it's abandoned to be honest). But inside was already bustling, people were already eating, and a lot more came in right after us. The place was small and I can see how it would fill up quick. There are a lot of people in the restaurants (cooks, servers, the boss that likes to sit in the front with his friends) and makes the restaurant feel a little cramped. We ordered the Sampaguita Pancit and the Crispy Chicken with House Sauce. The food came fairly quickly (thank god) - nice and hot. The pancit was looooooooooooaded with shrimp, pork, and chicken. It was literally half 'meat' and half noodles. That has never happened to me before. Especially at an Asian restaurant. The noodles are half big egg noodles (I have no idea what they're called but they're udon like) and half vermicelli. Yum. The crispy chicken was pretty good too. They fried the skin to perfection and served it along with 'house special sauce' (which according to my boyfriend) is very common and not so special. It's a combination of vinegar, chilis, and garlic. Any how the dish is like having chicken thrown into a deep fryer and away it goes. Not bad but not amazing. Overall, the restaurant was clean but a little cramped (eaves dropping is very easy [[well because the tables are close together and the customers do tend to be LOUD]]). The food is okie dokie but nothing good enough to fantasize about instantly when you're hungry. read more

When my uncle mentioned a while back that Sampaguita makes great Filipino food... I had to try it especially since my aunt is a very good cook. Finally made the trip for dinner with some family and that's the best way to dine at Sampaguita so you can order multiple dishes and share family-style. I rarely go to this part of town (Bathurst & Wilson) but I can see how people (mostly Filipinos) do go out of their way and wait in line to eat here. Dinner on a Thurday night was a 20 minute wait, they don't take reservations. The place is small and tables are tightly packed, but they serve great, fresh, made-to-order, no nonsense, authentic Filipino food... No cafeteria-style here. We had: - Garlic fried rice It's a must to soak up all the sauces - Lechon kawali (roast pork) Crispy crackly skin and soft meat... Must eat with the spicy vinegar soy sauce - I can totally drink that on it's own - Kare kare (ox tail stew) Love It! Flavourful peanut sauce with crispy veggies and soft oxtail... Comes with a side of bagoong (shrimp paste)... Soo Good! - Pancit (noodles) It was good with lots of meat, seafood and veggies, but my attention was focused on the top 3. - Spicy fried calamari Thinly sliced squid with lots of diced pepper, so good! Portions were big and great for sharing, there were 5 of us - total was $83 plus tip. We had lots leftover and that's a good thing... Most people walk out with doggie bags and look forward to the next day when they eat the leftovers for lunch. The place is busy, but service is quick and they don't miss a beat. It was worth the wait to dine at Sampaguita and I mos def will be back! Pro Tip: While in line waiting for a table, take a look at the menu, give your order to the wait staff and your food will be ready for you as soon as your table is ready. read more

First I wanna start out by saying the way these guys set up for ordering food is pretty amazing. Pretty much everything was no contact. I order my food on-line and simply did curbside pick up. I had to wait a bit cuz it was still busy at that particular time. It was so simple and easy to do. Watching these guys take orders from the outside and no one was allow in everything was set up simple and easy with great flow. I can't wait till they actually fully reopen the restaurant again where you can actually enjoy you're meal there. I am so happy this place re-open. This review is only base on their take out. Let's get started. I was so excited that they open again. Been waiting for months. This place was totally worth the drive for. I don't usually do take out but because I did miss their food and also when you factor in COVID-19 I got excited. My order was pancit, pinakbet, crispy pata, crispy chicken and of course their famous lechon kawali. As usually it was all delicious and yummy. Missed the noodles most of all. The food was as good as it was before COVID-19. So I was happy the taste and flavour was there. I was also impress on how they package the food. Smart of them not to fully seal up any of my fried stuff I order (otherwise it would have ended up being really soggy). It's expected with deep fried stuff. Over all really impress on my order and looking forward to coming back again! Also got to meet the owners daughter. She was a delight and a very nice sweet person just like the owner. read more

The place was packed and we had to wait in line to get a seat. Portion size is huge. Food was on the top within 10 mins. We had the Lechon kawali, so crispy and delicious! Sampaguita pancit, inihaw na baboy and pinakbet. The pancit came in a huge portion and very tasteful. The baboy was just ok, nothing about the fish blew me away. The pinakbet was great, I am pretty sensitive to the shrimp paste but did not really taste it at all, I love the combination of all the vegetables. I highly recommend this place. read more

So glad we came here, we were on the parking lot looking in and it was packed. It's another hole in the wall. Filipino cuisine with a little Chinese touch. We just came back from sneaker shopping and of course after that we were looking for a place to eat, checked out yelp and this popped up. We ordered sinigang(sour soup with veg), deep fried squid, pancit canton(egg noodle and virmecelli mix), lechon kawali "crack"(pork crackling) and pinakbet(vegetables with shrimp paste). This place is so busy but very efficient and organized. Service is great and friendly. I also ordered more food to take home for the family!!! Everything was so good and freshly made, nothing over cooked or out of steam table like other Filipino restaurants. Can't wait to go back and order the rest of the menu. read more

Best Filipino resto to go to! I have brought all my friends who haven't tried Filipino food here and it's been a hit on their end. I love the kare kare but unfortunately they got rid of their small size (bring it back!). I also love ordering their rice and beef ribs dish, and crispy chicken with rice. I usually end up subbing all normal rice for garlic rice because it has a much more enhanced taste. You must go here over all the other Filipino restaurants I know of :) May look like a hole in the wall, but when push comes to shove, the food is what you're here for. read more

I am writing this review in regards to their take-out only. When i ordered the recommended Yeung Chow Fried Rice, it was served in a take-out box with only about 4-5 pieces of lechon kawali and about 1-2 shrimps. Also ordered the lechon kawali with fried rice and hardly could see any pieces in there as well. This is way different than the in-restaurant dining as the portions are much larger and well worth the price. Please do not reduce the portions just because it is take-out. Loyal customers would find it rather difficult in returning to your establishment while we try to support our local communities. read more
