Paragraphs:
Diners come for the big, comforting Filipino flavors and the welcoming, family-run feel. Many talk up the crispy pata for its tender meat and shatter-crisp skin, while the chicken pancit guisado is a standout—several folks call it the best Filipino noodles they’ve had. Lumpia hits that craveable, crunchy spot, and classics like lechon with garlic rice, chicken & pork adobo, and the tangy-savory sinuglaw round out the greatest hits. Drinks and desserts make an impression too, especially the Mango Mojito and the nostalgic Mango Float.
Guests enjoy the cozy, homey interior and the way the team looks after you—from the owner’s warm greeting to the chef visiting tables. Service is consistently friendly and attentive, portions are generous, and the food tastes fresh. Some customers even mention it outshines their Filipino meals in bigger cities, which feels like a real win for St. John’s. Delivery also gets high marks when folks don’t dine in.
There are a few caveats: some diners mention the seasoning can run salty, the menu leans pork-heavy with fewer vegetarian choices, and a couple of people preferred the noodle dishes over the rice plates. Prices can add up (one group paid about $100 for two), but most feel the quality and portion sizes justify it. Overall, people come for the comfort-food vibe, hearty plates, and the kind of service that makes you feel right at home.
