Customers come for the comforting Filipino flavors—especially the adobong baboy, pancit bihon, and that oxtail kare-kare with peanuty goodness. Portions are generous, with plenty of leftovers that still taste great the next day. Desserts get love too, with a leche flan people rave about and milk tea that hits the spot. Diners enjoy a laid-back, neighborhood feel where the owners—who also cook—often come out to chat, which adds a personal touch.
Diners enjoy the friendly, attentive service and the steady flow of fresh-tasting plates, although the place can run busy with takeout orders. Some folks mention that the space is small and can fill up fast. A few caveats pop up: hours don’t always match what’s online, and there are reports of longer waits or items selling out during rushes. One traveler had a frustrating delay and an issue with a frozen item, and at least one diner found the fried chicken and deep-fried pork belly overcooked and dry.
Overall, people love Gold Digger for its hearty, homey Filipino dishes and welcoming crew. It’s the kind of spot regulars return to for reliable comfort food, even if they sometimes need to budget extra time or double-check that it’s open.
