Lumpia has commercialized taste to it but still good. The first dish we finished haha. Lastly the sisig. Very lemony and tasted perfect. Highly recommend this Filipino restaurant. They also sell filipino goods and pastries. Like pancit canton, banana ketchup, dried fish and cakes. I was so happy seeing all the Filipino stuff. Although mostly the workers there are very busy so they tend to be very transactional.

We ordered very easily on a huge touchscreen that anyone and your Lola can see!! Not like those times you go to a restaurant and you're looking for a brighter part of low lighting and moving the menu further away from you. Kare Kare had good velvety mouth feel and good flavor with meaty oxtails and vegetables, bagoong 2 lil containers = happiness :) The Lechon Kawali was dry porky heaven in a good way; not oily or fried tasting. Beef Kaldereta... what is it in their recipe/#$!:*-&@% Delicious! Kiss the Cook! Chicken adobo Delicious and daughters favorite!! The short time we waited for the food to go...My daughter's little arms were carrying to the counter fresh baked Ube cheese rolls, frozen tocino and longanisa and Tito Al's chicharrones. If she could she would have had all the ice creams in her hands too. Loved our whole order. Without a doubt we will be back. Salamat Asian Food... literally

I love that they renovated and now have a dining room with iPads to order. It does get crowded on the weekends but you can get a table pretty quickly. Their breakfast silogs come with free coffee which is a great value. They also kept their market in the back with Filipino items that you can't find in Asian stores. There's also baked items in the front including fresh pandasal. The best part of this place is the staff. They are the friendliest. I've been coming here for over 30 years and they always have a smile on their face. During Covid, they stayed open and literally kept me fed with their groceries. I'm so happy this is so close to home!

This trip I ordered the crispy pork belly with Garlic rice, the pork lumpia, Puto with salted egg and their Ube drink. All were grand slams filled with authentic flavors and portions were great for the price. The Ube drink was refreshing and well worth the price. If you're craving Filipino food or thinking about trying it this is the place to go.

Positive overall first experience and I'd come back to try some other items!…read more Came on a weekend evening while in the area, noticed a few restaurants and shops where previously I hadn't noticed, including Filipiniana and another Filipino bakery a block over. The storefront and interior is pretty small, seating maybe enough for 12-15 comfortably. I originally just wandered in to take a look though ended up looking at the menu and ordering a couple items: - Beef Pares w/ Garlic Rice $16.95 beef stew cooked w/ star anise, brown sugar and mushroom soy sauce. This was tasty, mostly because it was quite sweet, and the sauce was good over the rice. Beef was very tender though a little fatty for my preference. I would order again though! - Special Bibingka Bites $13.95 for 4 pieces: These cakes looked interesting to me since they were wrapped in banana leaves on the sides/underside and looked kinda like SE Asian steamed cakes, 6 pieces for $18-ish if I recall correctly. Not being familiar, I went with the smaller size, and asked how long they keep, the owner let me know there's a date on the package and they keep in the fridge. Wasn't sure if I needed to warm them up, so I ended up microwaving them for 20 seconds before eating. To me they kinda tasted like a less sweet version of yellow cake with the texture of cornbread. The one thing I will mention here on the bibingka bites is that the banana leaf liners were held together by little short wooden pieces, almost like a third the length of a toothpick. When peeling off the banana leaf be careful to remove these and especially don't bite into the banana leaf with these still intact, could be a choking hazard.

First time trying this restaurant and it is soo good! It really is a hidden filipino food gem!…read more Loved the different food concept like their Sisig Taco. We also ordered the traditional foods too like Bistek Pinoy, Kaldereta Pork, Chicharon, Lumpiang Shanghai, Pancit and then Sago't Gulaman and Avocado shakes to drink. The service here is good, but there were a few times where we had to get up to find our server for questions lol. The interior is very cute, their restaurant has two rooms for dine in and we loved the decor showcasing the Philippines! They also had a customer photo wall which was very nice. Would come back, 10/10.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 5 Value: 8 Overall: 6 It's a fine restaurant depending on what you order. We like their BBQ Pork skewers a lot, but was somewhat disappointed that they did not have a combo skewer plate with chicken too. We wanted to try both, but we already ordered so much food. It was the same price for two skewers of either pork or chicken, so we asked the owner if it was possible to do one each in order for us to try more of the menu. She was very rigid on not fulfilling our request, and somewhat unfriendly considering how easy it was for her to make the substitution. I guess they are not in the business of making their customers happy. Anyway, other than a decent Pork Sisig, the other three dishes were all somewhat disappointing. The Sotanghon Guisado tasted like a Chinese takeout lo mein, while the Palabok was bland. However, the worst dish was definitely the Adobo Chicken, which lacked flavor and was overcooked. Honestly, their BBQ Pork skewers were tasty enough for me to want to go back, but I'm not sure if I will anytime soon because of the owner's poor attitude towards a simple request.

We had the lumpiang Shanghai, chicken barbecue, pancit Canton, and a vegetable dish in coconut sauce. Everything came out fairly quickly and was flavorful and well prepared. I'd definitely come back for the food. Service was the weak point. Our order was taken right away, but our drinks were forgotten and no one checked on us again until we were basically finished. At one point, a street vendor even wandered into the restaurant and approached tables trying to sell baseball caps without any apparent response from the front of the house. The restaurant looks like it probably gets much livelier later in the evening. They were set up for music and advertise live performances, so 5 PM may simply have been too early to experience the place at its best. Overall, excellent Filipino food with service that could use some attention. I'd return, probably later in the evening next time.

The place has changed a bit, slightly different decor from the last time we were there. The atmosphere was more "bakya" than Kabayan (from across the street). Still nice. They kept the bar, which is good. The staff was friendly, but kind of rushed us to get our orders before the show started. They explained it would have been more difficult to take orders later. The food was really, really good. All the flavors were on point. For the appetizer, we had some Crispy Chicken Skins. It was nice and crispy, but it needed some more salt. We had the Port Belly Kare-Kare, Beef Salpicao, the Pancit Palabok, Laing and Gambas. The one that stole the show was the Bagnet. That was mind blowing! Very flavorful and I highly recommend it. Dare I say that the food was better than Kabayan. The Key Of C band rocked the whole night through. Everyone was dancing and enjoying the great music. It was such a fun-filled night. Definitely worth coming back to whether it's for the food or the music.

Service was on top of things, specially when I asked one of the waitress about my sister's ordered. They realized that they never placed in the order and they got right to it to make it right.

I was amazed with the massive portions, incredibly tender pork BBQ, and rich Kare-Kare. Despite the unassuming exterior and small four-table dining room, it offers excellent value. No questions about the authenticity of traditional plates. Diners like me love the Bulalo (beef marrow stew), crispy pata, and the tender barbecued pork. The Halo-Halo and okoy also get high marks for texture and flavor. While the flavor is spot-on, on-the-ground diner consensus on the dining room is extremely cozy (fitting only a few tables), so wait times can climb during peak hours. The menu occasionally features unexpected ingredient variations--for example, costumers agree that the Tinolang Tahong (mussels) leans closer to a ginger-heavy broth rather than being sautéed, adding a pleasant home-cooked twist. Recommendable!!
