I would have given this place a higher star rating had the dish I ordered was better the 2nd visit. Been here twice and the first time was great! I had the fish and pinakbet. The lumpia’s great. However, the 2nd visit, I had the adobo and pansit. The pansit was ok. The halo halo was also ok. The adobo was super disappointing, it had so much fat in it! I couldn’t eat it. If they prepare a meatier and healthier adobo, it could easily be 4 stars.
We came around 9pm on one night and was told that the kitchen is closed - seems a little early for a 10pm closing time. Came again on a different day. The deep fried pork knuckles (crispy pata) was really good - very crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. Also had the sinigang na bangus (tamarind based soup with milkfish), liked it as well. Overall a nice place.
Good food! Good service! Great ambience.
Amazing Filipino food. I love small mom and pop restaurants like this. I highly recommend it!
This Place is great! Food is delicious and tasty. We got the Beef Pares and the Beef Mami. The beef pares is really tender! And bone marrow that comes with it is also delish. Garlic fried rice is amazing. My suggestion that would make this Beef Pares perfect, is adding some kind of vegetable, on the side, to help cut through the savoriness of Beef. Perhaps some Garlic steamed bokchoy, or some atchara, or even just some tomato cucumber salad. Also, maybe giving the option for just plain steamed white rice would be great too, since the sauce of the Beef Pares is so delicious and you would want to pour it all over some plain white rice. Beef Mami- perhaps some crunchy chicharon toppings on top for extra oomph! service- greeting your customers as they walk in, would be great. Since there isn't a sign that say "seat yourselves" at the door. The setup of the restaurant and the vibe of the place definitely is for a "wait to be seated" kind of dining. A Simple Phrase such as "welcome, for how many people?" would not hurt. Acknowledge the presence of customers coming in; otherwise, they will be clueless and would feel unwelcome. Iskrambol- love it! I was really excited to see it on the menu!
