Paragraphs:
Customers come for the big, satisfying Filipino flavors and shareable plates. Folks rave most about the sisig, the crispy pata’s crackling skin, and the chicken inasal with annatto rice that feeds a small crew. Beef sinigang and kare-kare are common picks too, with some diners loving how close the flavors feel to home. Grilled prawns get shout-outs for size, and the plating across the board looks sharp for a casual spot. Portions are generous for the price, so many leave with takeaways.

Diners enjoy the modern set-up and lively energy, although the room can feel cramped and loud when the place is packed. Staff are generally friendly and welcoming, but service feels uneven—some nights food arrives fast and the team is on it; other times tables sit sticky, wait times stretch, or the floor attention just isn’t there. Delivery is a sore spot in a few stories, with one guest upset about a missing soup and an unhelpful call to the store.

Taste-wise, most leave happy, though some customers mention salt levels running high on dishes like sinigang and chicken mami, and a few note kare-kare leaning sweet or arriving cold once. Regulars say certain recipes have shifted lately—laing feeling underdone, crispy pata less seasoned than before—while others still drive long distances for that sisig-and-rice combo. It’s a lively spot for hearty Filipino plates and generous portions, especially if you’re here for flavor first and don’t mind the buzz.
