Paragraphs:
Customers come for the big, comforting Filipino flavors—especially the chicken sisig and adobo. The sisig gets called out as creamy, tangy, and satisfying with rice, while the adobo hits that soy–vinegar–garlic sweet spot. Beyond the Pinoy staples, diners enjoy the range: a zesty duck pancit with crunchy veg, a kimchi bowl that layers spice and sourness over rice, and small plates like crispy potatoes. Folks also leave happy with sweets—baked cinnamon cheesecake, ube cream cake, and brownie traybakes get rave nods, and there’s chatter about matcha ice cream and mango ice pops too.

Diners enjoy the cozy, homely feel—cute decor, relaxed pacing, and a team that’s friendly and attentive, even with big family groups and kids. Many mention good value and consistent cooking across multiple visits. Chef?owner Zo is often praised for bold, balanced flavors, and Zosima gets shout?outs for being responsive and helpful for event orders. It’s the kind of spot where window seats are a vibe and the shelves of pantry goods spark curiosity.

Some folks mention bumps: a vegan sisig that didn’t click, a tocilog bowl one diner found bland, and a serious complaint about undercooked prawns and how the situation was handled (no clear remake or apology in that case). There’s also the occasional sold?out item and a note about condiment bottles needing a wipe. Authenticity perceptions vary—several guests say the food transports them back to the Philippines, while others feel certain dishes skew to a broader Southeast Asian palate. Overall, many customers keep coming back for the flavorful mains, cozy atmosphere, and friendly service, while a few highlight consistency and service follow?through as areas to watch.
