Paragraphs:
Customers come for the big flavors—especially the crispy pork sisig with green chilis—and stay for the nostalgic desserts like creamy halo-halo, warm taho, and sago’t gulaman that isn’t overly sweet. Diners enjoy the homey vibe and simple presentation, with some folks saying dishes like pork sinigang took them straight back to family meals. There are heartfelt moments too: one guest shared how a dinner here reminded their dad of home, and another praised the team for honestly safeguarding a piece of lost jewelry. Staff are friendly and attentive, with Angelica and “Kuya” getting shoutouts for hospitality and smart recommendations that match people’s tastes.

Diners enjoy the food quality across the board, although pace can vary. With a small, hardworking crew and a tight dining room, service swings from under 10–15 minutes during good runs to longer waits when it’s quiet or full—so patience helps. The space has local charm but can feel cramped, especially for larger groups. Some folks mention clutter around the counter adding to the cramped feel.

There are a few mixed notes: palabok came off bland for one diner, beef tapa was chewy for another, and chicken inasal got both praise and shrugs. Dessert pearls show some inconsistency—great taho for many, but others noticed larger or undercooked pearls in drinks or halo-halo. Portions are often considered generous and shareable, though a few wished for more. Even with these caveats, most leave satisfied, sometimes ordering extra to take back to the hotel.
