Exceptional owners that are so incredibly kind and welcoming! ? Thank you for the wonderful meal. Our bellies and hearts are full. My sister is Filipino and visiting from the Philippines and raved about your cooking! Thank you again so much! ??

Dropped in for lunch with a buddy and I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Food was great, service was good, but a little slow due to limited staff but worth the wait.This place is easy to miss.. the outside is an unassuming storefront.. inside is an actual store with a few Filipino products. Nextdoor is a pretty nicely decorated dinning area, a bar that appears to be under construction and nestled in the back is a nice loungey type of area set up for karaoke.It was lunch so we tried the pork and chicken adobo, some lumpia, and a few skewers. Also ordered a mango smoothie to go for the wifey. Everything was very good and I will definitely be back to try more.Bonus: I hear they have a really good buffet on Sundays, which I'll definitely be back for.

Amazing food and great friendly staff! First time there but will definitely be back.

Was sooooo good! Our first time trying Filipino food and this place didn’t disappoint! Everything homemade and with love you can just tell! We had egg rolls, noodles, and fresh grilled fish stuffed with tomato. We tried some of their signature drinks a suggested lemon drink that is a staple, a ginger lemon tea, and a bubble smoothie. Everything was soooo good! The place has that small business touch. We can’t wait to come back on a Sunday for the buffet to try different things! Wonderful experience!!Dietary restrictions: Was very understanding, and accommodating to dietary restrictions and allergies asking us up front if we had any allergies for them to be aware of. We don’t. But that was super refreshing to hear!
