    Great Filipino food with clean ingredients. The food and drinks were delicious! The staff were accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend trying this place out, I promise you will not be disappointed. If you're looking for recommendations - try the Filipino BBQ Chicken, the Calamansi wings and the tea drinks.

    Our family was one of the few lucky ones who made it into this soft open. All I can say.. "the flavor is there!". Would love to come back once they officially open

    Our family of 4 ate dinner here last and we will definitely be going back. The inside of the restaurant has a cute vibe. The service is great; everyone is so friendly and helpful with the menu. We ordered a couple appetizers and 3 entrees to share. We enjoyed everything but the ribs were AMAZING!!!! Definitely go with the garlic fried rice. The salad went well with all the dishes. I liked that they used real plates, glasses, and utensils. The carry out containers are compostable which we like as well. They have gender neutral bathrooms which is always a plus. Highly recommend.

    Grand opening, so expect to wait (30-45 mins). Cozy location with tropical vibe, casual dining but music was too loud for conversation, so you’ll ended up yelling at each other (which almost normal if you’re Filipino 😂). Great selection of breakfast food. We loved them all, but expect layers of oil and grease (again, normal for pinoy food). Adobo ribs and fries was the hit for the family. Fries were actually perfect crispness. Ordered Dirty Ube Ice latte, not impressed. But we’ll definitely try the other drinks next time. Overall, great place and highly recommend to come back after the hype👍😁!

    My boyfriend Brandon brought me here for the first time to taste great Filipino cuisine. Justin and his family exceeded my expectations dining here! Super friendly and excellent food, very clean and great service. The loaded fries were so delicious 🫶We will be back!!

    A little bit of wait time here folks. You have to order before you find seating. Good food, huge portions. Food is good and service is fine.

    We visited this restaurant for my aunt's 60th birthday. The food was delicious and the staff was so welcoming. They even provided a birthday dessert on the house for my auntie. We can't wait to come back!
