Regulars come for the classic Filipino comfort dishes—bbq pork, sisig, munggo, pancit, and adobo—and stay loyal because the portions are hefty and the prices stay low. Diners enjoy the fast, cafeteria-style setup where you can grab two viands and rice for under ten bucks, with several folks calling out after-5pm combo deals that dip to about five dollars. Many describe the flavor as that nostalgic “sarap,” the kind they’ve loved here for years, and some even point out this spot has been consistently good for decades. Catering for potlucks gets praise for affordability, and there’s often no line, making it an easy take-out choice.
The vibe is straightforward and no-frills—some folks say not to judge by the plain decor. Staff are often called friendly and efficient, though a few customers mention impatience at the counter during ordering. Customers love the pork BBQ but note it can sell out quickly, so timing matters. Diners mention the place is cash-only and very much a “get your food and go” style operation.
Experiences vary on cleanliness and comfort. Some highlight a clean space and smooth service, while others mention the bathroom needing serious attention and say certain dishes weren’t hot enough. One diner felt unwelcome and sensed a chilly atmosphere, which contrasts with multiple comments about warm service. Overall, people come for the value, speed, and deeply familiar Filipino flavors—although temperature consistency, bathroom upkeep, and the bare-bones setting are recurring caveats.
