    It was a nice and pleasant late lunch. The chicken inasal thigh was huge, like Costco style huge. The garlic rice serving on the side was nicely huge as well. And the cookies and cream ice cream from Lopez Island was a nice palate cleanser for dessert It is unfortunate however that the flavors didn't meet my expectations. The chicken inasal was baked, not BBQ'd on an open flame. The meat was so thick everything on the inside tasted like any other baked chicken, which was also happened to be dry/tough/hard in some places. And I couldn't taste the garlic in the garlic rice. All in all, not a bad meal by any means. I'd like to come back to try the calderera.

    I'm not sure why this place has such low reviews! I ordered take out from here and thought food was delicious and prices were fair. I wouldn't drive out of my way for this place, but if you're in the area and craving Filipino food, you should come in. We got the beef kare kare ($19) and pancit bihon with crispy pork ($19). Both portions were plenty generous. The kare kare had a nice serving of eggplant and bok choy, which were perfectly cooked. The tripe and meat was delicious although the latter was on the very fatty side. Bathrooms are clean and parking lot had plenty of room.

    We called ahead to order a few dishes to go. Later found out they were out of those dishes. Not sure why they didn't know this when we called. The food was ok, not the best filipino food we've had. Since theres not a lot of filipono options in the area we will be back to give them another try

    Halo-halo

    Passing through town and decided to stop here. We were pleasantly surprised. Beef steak and lechon kawali were really good and the halo-halo hit the spot.

    Clean restaurant and staff are very friendly and prompt. Bulalo is my favorite! The pansit is good too! Definitely coming back and have bulalo again.

    We came here during the old ownership and did not like the food or service, so when we heard the owners changed we decided to give it another try. The service is still extremely slow we were told our order would be out in 15-20 minutes, ended up being 40 minutes. The lechon kawali was good but the amount for the price was not worth it, my wife had the sinagang and complained it was flavorless and wasn't worth eating also the rice was extra charge. Too many other good Filipino spots around to waste our time and money here. Cannot recommend and will not return

    New Filipino restaurant in Arlington! I was very sad to hear that Strita Kitchen closed and the owners moved back to the Philippines. Luckily, the location was taken over by another Filipino restaurant! Lots of classics on the menu but went with the lechon kawali, beef kare kare and sinigang pork belly. Lechon kawali was freshly fried and crispy. The soy vinegar dipping sauce makes this! Beef kare kare was made with beef shank so you get little bone marrow treat! The house made bagoong adds some much needed funk to this! Sinigang with pork belly was really excellent! Sour and savory! There were many things I wanted to try on the menu but sadly were not available which i chalk up to new opening growing pains. The location in a non descript office plaza way out of the way does not make easy for people to just stumble upon so make the effort to find them!

    Food - even-changed of ownership, quality, and taste of the food is still excellent. Service - still the best. Mike - server is very nice and excellent service! Ambiance - little changes from the previous owner (strita), still best spot here! Craving for Filipino food this is the place to go.. huge portions and reasonable price. Clean place to eat and of course, delicious! Masarap , manyaman!

I knew about the Hum Bao when I saw one of my buddies munching on one a while back. The Hum Bao we have was baked to a nice golden brown. I like the steamed ones as well and I think that is an option there. I'm definitely going to avail myself of the plate lunches once things open up in Island County. Right now only one person is allowed in the lobby at a time and there is no outdoor dining option at this location. Cristy is diligent about sanitizing between customers and she cleans the touched surfaces between customers. Front door included. I look forward to patronizing their place in the future.

This place is located in a plaza of other restaurants and businesses. Parking was plentiful outside. There were many tables to choose from inside, and it wasn't busy at all when we arrived. We ended up ordering both Inihaw Plates, one with Beef BBQ Ribs and the other one with Chicken BBQ. The plates came with our meat of choice, mac salad, a little salad, and two scoops of rice. I wasn't expecting much but I was wowed when they brought our food out. Presentation was gorgeous. Our ribs and chicken looked pretty good, saucy and plentiful altogether as an entree. When I had that first bite of the Beef BBQ Rib, I was floored. I'm pretty sure I took one bite and was just speechless, I'm not trying to exaggerate. The beef ribs were flavorful, juicy, tender, and fell right off the bone. I couldn't ask for anything more. The mac salad was good, it didn't taste like the mayo was too heavy for me. It tasted nice and light. And I had a couple bites of the Chicken BBQ, it was just as delicious as the beef ribs. Also the portion size was amazing. I think I'm a little partial, but the Beef BBQ Ribs definitely altered my brain chemistry. They were that delicious and I'll be thinking about these ribs for a long time. It felt like I was back home at a Filipino barbecue or I was in Hawaii eating at an uncle's backyard. It truly felt like the meat was grilling out in the back and we ate it fresh out the grill. It was absolutely wonderful and I'll be raving about this place to people for a while. Y'all deserve all the stars and love. And the music playing? Loved it, they were already on my island music playlist lol. We had an unforgettable experience. This place is a must try if you're in the area and even if you're not in the area as well. It's just that good.

Karaoke nights are usually a blast -- especially when D-Nice is hosting. She keeps the energy up, the rotation fair, and the sound levels dialed in so everyone feels like a rockstar for three minutes. Unfortunately, the experience has been really inconsistent lately when Mike is hosting. The sound has been off multiple times -- microphones too quiet, music overpowering vocals -- and I've heard several people politely ask if it could be adjusted. It just doesn't seem to get fixed, which is frustrating when karaoke is the main reason many of people are there. I'll absolutely keep coming back because I love this place, but I may need to check ahead to see who's hosting karaoke before planning a night around it. When it's good, it's so good -- I just hope the sound consistency gets addressed.

I come back to this restaurant per request of my parents. My dad likes coming here for their chopsuey. The vegetables are fresh and cooked perfectly. I have ordered sinigang, bicol express and their kare-kare. All the entrees come with servings of rice (2-3 portions). The dishes are meant to be served family style so that you can share the dishes. They have a little sauce bar to pair your food with your favorite sauce whether that's soy sauce, vinegar, etc. The only reason why I give this place 3/5 stars is due to the owner's attitude. I ordered a lechon kawali kare-kare and lechon kawali was brought out, no kare-kare. When I mentioned to her that the order was incorrect, she argued with me that is what I ordered. I told her that we did order it but she must have not heard us. Instead of trying to mitigate the order, she continued to argue with us that we did not order it. It took another worker to pull her aside to prevent her from arguing with us further. We could hear her keep trying to justify that we did not order correctly. The worker tried to offer the correct order to us, but we declined. We did not want to argue any further and just eat our meal at this point. The restaurant looks in good shape and has good Filipino food. They could use improvement on their service. We will likely be back per request of my parents but otherwise I would avoid if I don't need to eat here.

So you can imagine how excited I was to find Bry's Filipino Cuisine while we were in Bellingham. It wasn't on our radar, but we looked at a map of where we were staying and not far from our hotel was a place called Bry's Filipino Cuisine just down a few blocks. We called over there, asking if they were dog-friendly and fortunately, they are. They offer outdoor seating right outside the entrance, which worked out perfectly. We visited for lunch and left with leftovers. The portions are huge and it's affordable! I can't remember the last time I had a meal in Bellevue with huge portions from a small business for $20. My partner and I both ordered the combination, which came with a little bit of everything for only $20. There was pork adobo, coconut chicken, grilled pork, lumpia, brussels sprouts, pancit and a large helping of white rice. I even asked the owner if he had bicol express, which he gave me a side of as part of the combo plate! After some chatting, it turns out the owner is from the Bicol region, which is where my mom's side of the family is from. Love it! It's been a long time since I've had some authentic Filipino food - and this hit the spot! The food was incredible, the owner was super friendly and the space outside allowed for our dog to join us. They even have a full bar where they serve cocktails with ube and pandan for a Filipino twist! I will definitely be back whenever I'm in Bellingham.

The second I normally don't like dark meat nor like Smoky stuff so the coconut chicken kind of put me off, but when I tried it, it was a perfect balance. All the food is perfectly seasoned, too. I normally add hot sauce to my food to give it a bit more flavor, but that wasn't needed here. The one thing to keep in mind is that their online menu isn't as updated as their actual menu. For example, the combo meal wasn't listed online, but they had it on the menu in the restaurant so if you want the full selection, you gotta be in person instead of using their online menu.

Every time I visit, I pick up a fruit or vegetable that I haven't tried before. Today it was a small Korean melon with bright yellow skin. The guys who work the fish counter are personable and knowledgeable. The man who helped us made a good suggestion for the type of fish to use in a soup, and didn't grumble when, near closing, he had to start up the equipment to cut it for us. The parking lot can be busy but I just choose to park farther away from the door. Also, try to go during an off hour--the veggie section (and the store in general) can get crowded. I suggest stopping by the deli section at the front of the store to see what treats are available. Last time I tried a tasty steamed cake wrapped in banana leaf. Another tip is to jump on specials as soon as you see them. I'm still kicking myself for not picking up an entire pack of oxtails for 1.99 a pound. I went back a few days later and they were gone. I still bought oxtails, for up to $2.00 less a pound than other stores. Lastly, double check the expiration dates on prepackaged foods. Every once and a while you'll find one that is past it's prime.
