First of all, excellent service. Well priced. I ordered Shrimp Halabos; I thought it was going to be spicy however the taste was softer, more delicate. It's been a minute since I have been served whole shrimp instead of deveined. That made the presentation different. Nevertheless well cooked, soft, good sauce which I mixed with the abundant steam white rice. Will I go back? I'm looking forward to trying their dishes with pork.

Very delicious food, I absolutely love the atmosphere here, it's very nice and clean and the food just made my day. They have this ice cream that's made from yams that my son could not stop eating, it was delicious. We really enjoyed ourselves here and will be coming back. I would say the best dish we had so far was the sizzling sisig, omg a most try, it was super good. Oh and the fried coconut dessert was really good, it wasn't very sweet as I thought they would be.

Fri 06/2025- We finally made it back to try the dessert. It was pretty good. We tried the Bistek and a few other items. The portions were a bit smaller than our first visit. Matthew did a good job tending to our table. This was our first time trying Philippino cuisine. It was recommended by my sons. This is a hidden gem Our party of 5 enjoyed several shareable dishes to really experience the food. Everything was well prepared, great portions, and well seasoned. The prices are reasonable. Our server was polite and did an excellent job. We had the pork BBQ skewers, Lechon Kiwali Kare-Kare, Lumpiang Shanghai, Bistek, Chicken Inasal, and the Sizzling Sisiq. We definitely overindulged and had no room for dessert, but we plan to come back and try the dessert and other entrees. I recommend you come an try for yourselves

Omg my best friend and I went to the Philippines by way of Taste of Philippines. The food was so delicious we ordered several different entrées and each one of them were very delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive she made sure our food was prepared in the way that we ordered it. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you to the cooks who work hard to create such delicious meals!!!!! They also have karaoke on Wednesday nights!!! Very satisfied customer Martha

Worth the hour drive to get down here for valentines day, we wanted to try another Phillipino location and this location puts other restaurants to shame for 3x less the price, I gave the highest tip just to compensate, I really wish this location was further north, the other customers singing Karaoke made it extra special, get over here! These guys deserve to expand or at the very least get a bigger building space cause they top all metrics

Tasty food & good service my boyfriend & I loved it both meals were light, refreshing, & filling! We tried the pancit bihon noodles, dinakdakan pork harsh, lumpiang shanghai (pork egg rolls), & the pandan drink! We're looking forward to our next visit!

This is always our favorite place to go for a quiet dinner. I always get their tofu and vegetable dinner. My husband loves to get their pork. It is very quiet here and the staff is wonderful and very informative. If you have any questions about their menu items they will get you an answer if they don’t already know the answer. This is one of the few places that serve tofu that is absolutely so silky. I would definitely recommend going here; this is a great date night spot.

Our third or fourth time visiting. Food is flavorful and always good. A great choice to try something new. Most dishes are adaptable. Our meals could have had more quantities and my drink needed more texture / ingredients. Service is a little slow but friendly. It's a very casual laid-back place in a strip center. We shared the food family style. Prices are average. We will definitely be back again to try more dishes. I'm already hungry!
