Customers come for the lively buffet spread, big portions, and that familiar Filipino hospitality. Folks talk about hearty classics like kare-kare, sisig, pancit, crispy palabok, and cebuchon, plus a breakfast lineup of tocino, tapa, longganisa, lugaw, sopas, and champorado. Desserts get a lot of love too—especially the large halo-halo and trays of sapin-sapin, puto, and biko, with a chocolate fountain for good measure. Many diners say prices feel fair for the quality and quantity, with lunch buffet around $35 and à la carte portions big enough to take home. Servers are consistently described as warm and proactive, with staff offering thoughtful suggestions and frequent check-ins.

Diners enjoy the modern space with a stage, Filipino music in the background, and performance or karaoke nights that add to the vibe. On a quieter weekday, à la carte service is relaxed and quick; on weekends and buffet nights, it’s busy and reservations help a lot. Some customers mention standout service from Enzo, Sueto, and Rafa by name, especially during family celebrations and birthdays.

While most leave happy and full, a few caveats pop up. Some folks mention the dinner buffet can feel pricey and wish the selection had more variety beyond pork-heavy mains; one customer noted buffet kare-kare missing oxtail and tripe, and lechon cuts not being the best. Another found the squid a bit tough, and a couple of tables experienced slightly awkward clearing of utensils mid-meal. Performance nights can get loud, though there are breaks that make conversation easier. Overall, people come back for the flavors, the music, and the genuinely caring service.
