Customers come for the legit, homestyle Filipino comfort food and the hot-counter spread, with many calling out the chicken adobo, chicken liver, seafood dishes, and even a pulled pork combo as satisfying picks. First-timers say the team walks them through the options and even shares Filipino names for each dish, which makes ordering less intimidating. Regulars mention it’s also a reliable spot for big party trays, with a good variety at the counter.

Service is a strong suit here. Diners enjoy the welcoming vibe, and several mention the owners being hands-on—one’s got a playful sense of humor while the other is calm and helpful. The whole place feels like a down-to-earth, family-run eatery. There’s even a remittance/BDO desk, which adds a community touch that many Filipino folks recognize and appreciate.

Diners enjoy the combo meals and variety, although not everything hits the same for everyone. Some folks mention higher pricing for popular items and occasional portion questions. A few note quality hiccups—hard or old chicharon, a sisig that didn’t land, and halo-halo that fell short—and one person reported a damaged takeout container. The space is small and simple, and some customers claim it’s a bit tricky to locate the first time. Still, plenty of people highlight the friendly service and comforting flavors, with several planning return visits to sample more dishes.
