"My first time trying Filipino food. We ordered the lumpia, beef tapa, and lechon. We really enjoyed all the dishes. The beef tapa and lechon were both really tender, and the skin on the lechon was so crispy and flavorful. The garlic rice was also a can't miss - it paired really well. Nice seating area outside with attentive service. Will definitely be returning!"
"I stumbled on this gem when I had a hanker for Filipino food and was blown away by the best table service, authentic flavors, just like when I was visiting the Philippines. It's a charming business that is worth checking out. They spared no expense on finishing touches and ingredients - a must try!"
"Food is amazing! I had the pork & the ube beef sliders. Pork bbq was really flavorful. It was bomb! Blew my expectations. Definitely can't wait to try out more on the menu."
