Customers come for the crispy, peppery ChickenJoy and the comforting palabok, but some diners mention the non-spicy chicken doesn’t hit as hard as the spicy version. The Palabok Fiesta Family Meal gets shout-outs for value and simplicity—just classic flavors done right—while the Peach Mango Pie repeatedly steals the show, even if a few folks find it on the sweet side. Beyond the staples, people dabble in the Aloha Burger, chicken sandwich, and chicken tenders, with sides like fries and coleslaw landing as just okay. Poutine shows up as a curiosity with mixed reactions.
Diners enjoy the warm, upbeat service and clean, well-run space, although it can be busy. Crew members stand out for being polite, quick, and helpful—Meios gets several compliments for staying cheerful under pressure, Jaylyn for being friendly and efficient, and manager Owen for going the extra mile to make visits special. First-timers feel welcomed and guided through the menu, which helps when you’re new to Filipino fast-food classics.
There are a few caveats. Some folks love the chicken and gravy pairing but feel the prices have crept up—one customer balked at nearly $25 for a 3-piece combo and noted no white meat included. Another diner was frustrated that gravy couldn’t be upsized and that their container arrived half full. Sides like poutine and coleslaw, while available, don’t get the same love as the chicken, palabok, and pies. Even with those notes, most customers highlight the consistent quality, the spicy chicken crunch, and the genuinely friendly crew as reasons they keep coming back.
