A hidden gem of Filipino food. It’s a small restaurant with good food. We wanted to try different food items so we ordered the BBQ Platter, which includes pork BBQ, pork liempo, Korean beef ribs BBQ, chicken BBQ and chicken inasal. It was a good way to way to try different entrees. The Pancit Canton was packed with flavor since the meat was well marinated.

I’m glad we finally tried this place and it was worth it. Not a lot of Filipino restaurants invest in the way a restaurant should look, but this place did a good job. Nice atmosphere and clean. I’m glad they have plastic shields/partitions in between the booths. Great customer service. The gentleman that helped us was prompt, informative, and friendly. Bathrooms were clean too. As for the food, they were delicious. We have yet to try what the other people were mentioning in the reviews. Good presentation too. The prices were also very reasonable– although I think the kare kare is a little on the pricey side so we didn’t order it. I also wished that the dishes came with at least 1 scoop of rice (like most places), but they didn’t. You have to pay extra for a side of rice. We’ll definitely be back though.

Another great traditional Filipino restaurant. All their menu are great, very close to home. Their Crispy Pata is great and can be combined with the Kare-kare.
