Diners come for the Filipino comfort-food staples and stay for the warm, above-and-beyond service. Folks mention staff who happily take late orders—even right at closing—and who are attentive with special requests. The vibe is casual with some stylish touches, and the place holds a bit of local nostalgia as a longtime Folsom spot, now under newer ownership. It can get crowded during rushes, and there’s steady to-go traffic.
On the plate, customers praise the rich, authentic flavors of dishes like dinuguan, kare-kare, sinigang na baboy, lechon kawali, lumpiang shanghai, and arroz caldo. The breakfast silogs hit that nostalgic spot, and the teriyaki chicken and salmon teriyaki combos are popular for non-Filipino cravings. Halo-halo gets a lot of love—some folks even call it the best they’ve had—though a few mention inconsistencies, like an artificial-tasting ingredient or an avocado version that was more icey and lighter on toppings than expected.
Some diners mention prices feel a bit steep for certain items, with a specific complaint about a small dinuguan container costing $15, while others feel portions and value are fair for the area. There are occasional hiccups—like pancit missing shrimp despite the menu, or a bathroom being out of order on a visit—but overall, customers describe a legit, homey Filipino spot where the food comforts and the team treats you well.
