We come here often because the food here is consistently delicious. I’ve seen reviews that this is not authentic Filipino food. I can’t speak to that, but I can say that all the dishes we’ve tried, which are about 80% of the current menu are fresh and tasty. We love the fried pork, crisp and meaty. I also suggest the desserts, which are not overly sweet and really great for sharing. I’m a big fan of the ox tail, but it is a fatty dish (that’s just the nature of ox tail). If you want to go at a great time, try going on a Sunday for a late lunch.

Delicious. My husband and I went without a reservation (Note: you have to call, there is no way to make online reservations) around 5:30 pm on a Saturday and were able to be seated. Everything we had was delicious. We started with the dumplings of the day and ended with the homemade coconut tart. We loved everything and look forward to coming back. Service was friendly and prompt, but we were at a non-busy time.

Absolutely perfect! The equinox salad which was a special had lotus root and a donut peach and was phenomenal. The curried goat and chicken thighs were incredible! Great quick service and delicious food!

I love this place. The owner is the sweetest, the service attentive, and the food is just delicious. The ube ice cream is to die for (they make everything themselves). I would go back in a heartbeat.

The service was a little slow, they definitely need to hire more staff, our servers were very nice regardless Now I understand that this food is supposed to be a fusion and not traditionally pure Filipino, but the food itself didn’t have much flavor. The lumpia was a wonderful concept, but still lacked flavor; the same can be said about the pancit which was completely bland. I look forward to this restaurant improving, and have complete faith!

I would have to say my experience here was quick and and I was very disappointed. The owner seemed to have been busy doing some kind of interview, yet the waitress with the green hair was not friendly towards us. She seemed a bit irritated with us for no reason. I felt that reflected in the service she gave to us. Her attitude towards us made me feel that I would not want to ever come back here. I observed the table next to us had great service. We ordered something small to eat and we didn’t ask for much because we were looking to try some sweets from the Philippines. I understand if she had a bad day, but I feel that if the owner was serving us, it would have been a better experience. The woman with the green hair had an unpleasant demeanor towards us which made me write this.

Food looks and tastes homey. I think the food should be a bit larger portion. Get the Soju and any juice to make your own cocktail. It’ll be cheaper and tastier than buying from Bartender.

We didn’t have a a reservation but were seated pretty quickly. However, once sat the service was quite slow. They also took the order from someone who had come after us first. The waiters were kind but I think they need at least 1 more person. Ordered the beef tapa because they were out of a few things, and it was okay.
