Food was hot and delicious. It may have been busy when I went ( 1:20 pm on a Sat) and after being seated we didnt get served for an hour. I think the moment you are ready, just get their attention so you can order asap. They were very sweet atleast.

The atmosphere was awesome. Over the top but in a good way. Food was delicious and the sisig smelled amazing on the table next to us.

As much as I want to give this restaurant a good rating as I think this has the best ambiance and Filipino decor in town, the food service is extremely poor. It was my first time here. I was greeted by a fluent English speaking waiter with an amazing personality (which wowed me). I ordered turunito (literally small as the name suggests) and halo-halo. The turunito came after few minutes but to my surprise, the portion was not justified for 9cad. I took it gracefully as I really liked the store decor. I was so amazed that I took a lot of pictures and did not realize 30 minutes had passed and I still did not get my halo-halo. The crew was reminded politely. 45 minutes had passed and the order was not in. I had to go to the crew area to tell them that I ordered halo-halo which can be easily prepared in 5-10 minutes. I was trying to convince myself to be more patient, but I couldn’t. I would say the halo-halo was very satisfying. However, the restaurant needs to improve their service. They were adequately staffed in my opinion so I don’t see why the service had to be that poor. My cousin who was with me at the time said she had a similar experience at the same restaurant years ago and promised herself not to go back there again. She only did because I begged her. 😅I hope this review will be helpful for the improvement of the restaurant. It has so much potential.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is what started off the experience on the right foot. Plants, decor and seating orientation helped to create the perfect ambience.

The service is where the restarting needs work. After about 10 minutes our table was ready to order… no one came to us after another 20 minutes and then took our order.

Putting the service aside, the food was FANTASTIC. I ordered the vegan Kamayan which had so many different options with its main protein being tofu. They did a great job with proportions, flavours and most importantly, sauces!!

Overall, I would 100% go back but hope the service and wait times was just a bad day and not common.

The appetizer is sour soup, top notch. This was my first experience with Philippine food and I am ready to try more. Flavorful, colorful and interesting. Some difficulty communicating with some of the staff but regardless very nice. Would definitely recommend to try one of the combos. It's fun, sharable and it feels quite homely. Would go again next time I'm around!

This was my first time trying Filipino food at a restaurant. I loved the experience, and the staff was so friendly and nice. My absolute favorite was the milkfish sisig. It was creamy, and I loved the fish as well. I loved how all the flavors were strong and rich in umami. I wasn't much of a fan of the tres leche, but I was absolutely in love with their Halo Halo, except I struggled handling it by myself. Bring a group of people so you could try a variety of menu items. Their menu literally accommodates different diets as well, which is a bonus. Definitely would come here to try their kamayan as well.
