Customers come for the Filipino comfort staples and the flexible small/medium/large portions that make it easy to share and sample. The pork sisig gets a lot of love, as do the sinigang variations like watermelon beef and salmon head. Diners enjoy the gising-gising, ensalada, palabok, and even the buko pie for dessert. Folks also point out the fresh seafood and the surprisingly solid lineup of vegetable dishes, which not every place carries these days.

Service wins plenty of praise for warmth and attentiveness, with guests calling out team members by name—Jeremy, Erwin, Win, Theo, and Carlo—for making meals smooth and welcoming. The vibe leans cozy and inviting, with some noting that the space feels nicer after a renovation, and it works well for balikbayan family meals or casual catch-ups.

Although many meals are smooth sailing, some diners mention service can be spotty—slow even on quiet days, with refill requests that need reminders. A few experiences note inconsistent food quality compared to other branches, and one guest flagged a dirty restroom and general wear-and-tear, while another felt the drinks were too sweet with no room to adjust. Delivery orders tend to taste homey, but a couple of customers wished for more meat in the sinigang given the price. Overall, people keep coming back for the familiar flavors, the shareable menu, and the generally warm crew, even if patience is sometimes part of the experience.
