Customers come for the homestyle Filipino cooking and that familiar karinderya vibe—clean space, friendly greetings, and hot, freshly cooked plates that feel like home. Many diners rave about the sisig, kare-kare, and crispy pork dishes, plus comforting silogs that arrive with the right condiments: sawsawan and atchara. The fried milkfish silog gets special love for its light, crisp batter and tender fish, and folks with a sweet tooth call the halo-halo and turon standouts. Pancit and lumpia are popular for takeout, and there’s a steady chorus of praise for the overall value.

Diners enjoy the variety and mention that dishes rotate, so there’s always something new—Bicol Express, laing, sinigang, pares, and more—though popular items can sell out. Catering is a bright spot; customers say the team is easy to work with, portions on trays are generous, and prices are reasonable. The new owner and chef earn compliments from regulars who feel the flavors have leveled up, especially on dishes like kare-kare.

That said, experiences aren’t uniform. Some customers mention the sisig tasted blander on recent visits compared to before, and a couple of plates missed the mark—lechon kawali arriving chewy and greasy for one diner, pakbet cold and bland for another, and tortang talong lacking that charcoal edge some expect. Delivery can test your patience: Uber Eats orders in particular were reported to take a while to prep and arrive. One person also noticed a credit card “convenience fee” on the receipt after the fact. Overall, most folks leave happy with the flavors, value, and warmth, while a few note inconsistencies and busy-day hiccups.
