Customers come for big-flavor Filipino classics—crispy pata, piping-hot lumpia, pancit bihon, and kare-kare show up again and again in happy notes. Portions are hefty, the food is made to order, and the dining area is clean with a surprisingly modern vibe for a little spot off the main drag. Desserts and drinks like halo-halo and the Kona shake get love, and several folks call out how warm and sweet the team feels when you walk in.
Diners enjoy the consistently tasty staples and value for money, although a few experiences were bumpy. Some customers claim the hours are hit-or-miss and that they’ve found the doors closed during posted times, which led to wasted trips. There are occasional knocks on service at the counter, plus mixed feedback on specific dishes like Bacolod Inasal and Bicol Express. Payment is another heads-up: multiple diners mention it’s cash-only or cash/Zelle.
Some people love the variety—from bistek and adobo to lechon kawali and saucy ribs—and even mention past house-made chocolates, while others mention that the concept seems to have changed and those chocolates aren’t always available anymore. Overall, the vibe is a humble, hardworking Filipino kitchen turning out flavorful comfort food, best when you catch them open and come ready for big plates of classics.
