Customers come for the lechon—crisp, glassy skin with juicy meat—and many say the price feels fair, especially when ordering by the pound or for big celebrations. Folks also talk up the rice cake desserts, calling them standouts among Filipino bakeries in Alberta. There’s a homestyle vibe, a friendly welcome at the counter on good days, and that sense of a long-time neighborhood spot that knows its roast pig.

Diners enjoy that it’s a go-to for events, with some even hauling lechon back to BC. Although the lechon often hits the mark, a few customers claim they received dry roasts or portions missing belly/neck meat, which dampened the experience. Some folks mention phone calls not being answered and stricter pickup timing. One incident with a cashier during a tap-to-pay failure left a sour note for a group picking up a big order.

Overall, the place shines most for roast pig and classic kakanin, with decades of roasting experience showing in the best batches. Some people love the affordability and authentic flavors, while others feel the non-lechon offerings have slipped compared to years past. Payment hiccups and customer service missteps do pop up in the mix, but when the lechon lands, it tends to be the star of the table.
