I went in on a late Friday night. I was seated promptly because of my reservation at the bar. The…read morerestaurant is already very cozy, but being seated at the bar gave me a much more intimate experience. My server welcomed me and was great in helping me feel welcome as a solo diner. It was also very entertaining watching her and the other bartender whip up drinks in front of me. I ordered: Kinilaw - This is an elevated and more upscale take on the traditional dish. The hamachi was very fresh and the inclusion of the radish helped provide a change in texture. Despite all the fruit, it wasn't very sweet and the flavors of those and the coconut milk worked very well together. It tastes like kinilaw but it doesn't have the same "punch" or "impact" as the traditional one. But again, this is an upscale version and still tasted great otherwise. Crab Fat Shrimp - Shrimp cooked with a very creamy coconut milk sauce. I ordered this dish with the Sinangag garlic rice instead of having it with collard greens. Eating the shrimp with the rice is a great choice since the rice soaks up so much of the flavor from the sauce and the shrimp. Portion was surprisingly filling. Strawberry Basque Cheesecake - This was the best part of the menu! This portion was so generous and the dessert itself was sweet, but not sugary. The cheesecake was creamy and the roasted strawberries provided some acidity to cut through the richness. I had this with a salabat tea. Hot Salabat Tea - Ginger tea with lemon slices and a honey syrup. I loved how fresh the ginger was and it was a great way to end off the night. It felt very good for digestion. This is an upscale restaurant and therefore prices aren't very cheap. However, this is a restaurant to try at least once, especially for a special occasion.

Craving Halo Halo from this very hot weather. So from what I recall this place serves the best…read moreloaded Halo Halo. Came in and it was 4 tables filled. I pretty much ordered the Classic Halo Halo - They have another version that leans more towards Americanized but the classic is the Filipino Traditional version. When it was delivered - I noticed it had more milky shaved ice than toppings. (As you can see from the picture). The toppings included - Shredded coconut, Flan, Ube Halaya, Colorful Kaong, Sweet beans, Sweetened Banana and Jackfruit. Before you can see it was more loaded in the glass. The price was $10.50 which is not bad for the size. The milk shaved ice was tooo sweet for my liking. I can tell it was a pre made milk ice block that they shaved once ordered. It fulfilled the craving nonetheless. Also I noticed some were buying the Siopao. Especially the Pork Asado one. They were almost out inside the cooler. I was told by staff that someone delivers the siopaos (the baker) and they are 4 huge siopao for $10.95. The Siopao were the BEST I have had. Better than the filipino franchised bakeries, That is how good these are. You can tell they are homemade. They are large tender soft fluffy light dough and not too thick ratio with the pork asado filling. The filling is packed inside the dough and that is what I love about this siopao. Its not mostly dough. It is evened out throughout - Every bite you get the filling. I will def get these again. Service here is ok - I noticed the check out tab .. They divide the taxes when you pay the bill and its confusing at first as to why they add 3 types of "taxes" for a bill. You are paying 3 taxes along with the sub total of the bill. Other than that - The Halo Halo was a popular dessert this day throughout the diners,

My husband and I went here for lunch. None of my cravings were there, first off. The service was…read morequick. Except for, I ordered Turon early on (eggroll with plantain inside) my hubby's favorite. Before the customers came in and before we served up the food. When it was time to pay, they haven't cooked the Turon and we have to wait 15 minutes for it. Which we didn't. The server apologized. The ambience was casual. The AC is not that good. They had fans all over to keep the place somewhat cool. We ordered chicken chicharron, too salty. Bangsilog was bland, the chicharron made up for the taste. The longsilog, my husband didn't like. He said, it's not the same as the one I usually cook for him. It tasted old to me. The garlic fried rice was good. Not going back.

We went for lunch. I had read many reviews about this restaurant…read more They were right. It was fantastic. I had Filipino food a few times years ago. The rice noodle dish stands out in my mind. It was delicate and flavorful. Kanayan Grill is in a strip mall. But it is an island of its own. The restaurant is clean and well cared for. The server was friendly and helpful. She checked on us and answered questions. We had the egg rolls which were crispy and very good with a dipping sauce. We ordered sotanghon which best fit my memory of a favorite from the past. I was really good. A large portion with vegetables and meat. We also had Bicol express combo. This was a wonderful surprise. The flavors blended together in a savory creamy spicy sauce-heat can be adjusted. You could taste the coconut but not overpowering. Just the perfect blend. The pork was tender. It came with a perfectly cooked rice. Beverages were cans/bottles with cups of ice on request. For dessert we had the famous Halo-Halo. Mix mix mix we were told. And we did. But before I mixed I tried the Ube ice cream alone. I had never had Ube before. It was delicious. I read the ingredients before I ordered it but after mix mix mix we were treated to taste explosions. I am not sure what each one was to be honest, but it was amazing and I didn't need to know. It was a fun experience. I didn't add photos because there are so many perfect photos already posted. We will definitely come back. We would not do take out cause we would miss the fun of being there. I am sure their takeout is great. Thanks for a delicious fun experience.

Great place to get good Filipino food. They have a very homely ambiance and welcoming atmosphere…read more They have a good selection of dishes. It was unfortunate that they were out of crispy pata during our visit. I bet it's very good. I liked the bangus sisig and bulalo. The bulalo soup was perfect for the cold weather that day. The sisig was on a hot plate and was the crowd favorite. My kids liked the Igado and garlic rice. I think both dishes go very well together. The kids also enjoyed their refreshments: sago at Gilman, lemonade, etc. They had halo-halo but we were too full for dessert. Hopefully we can go back on our next visit to try the other dishes that we skipped. We were very satisfied with our meal.

The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and gave recommendations, and the decor was fun. There was a neon sign there for photo ops. They also sell other Filipino goods like ube cheesecake, lumpia, ube ice cream, prawn crisps, hot dogs, and more. There are several flavors and add ins for the milk tea. I got the taro brown sugar specialty milk tea at 50% sweetness with boba. It was the BEST milk tea that my husband or I had ever had! The sweetness was perfect, the flavor was delicious, and the boba was fresh and soft. It was also the most expensive that I've ever had at almost $10 after a tip. I look forward to trying some of the other things there. Rating from F to A+++, I give it an A+++!

By far, the most hidden gem is near me. I was wondering around the Hunts Club Plaza just to see…read morewhat was in it. I found this establishment, and I parked to try it out. They had a variety of snacks, oils, sauces, bakery items, and many more. I got to try their taro milk tea with oatmilk and lychee popping bobba. Hopefully, I said that right. Lol The service was quick and friendly. I even tried the Ube waffle because I love me some waffles and ube flavors. I will probably be going here every day from now on. The taro was made perfectly and was not too sweet and not too cold, just like Goldie locks once said. Check out some of my photos to see within the location. It was spacious with a nice photo prop area and seating area to relax. You literally could find out about nearby businesses by checking out their board by the restroom. They also sell Uber ice cream by the quart. See you guys again.
