Delicious Comfort Food & Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful! I absolutely love the food here; it's my go-to for comfort food. My favorites are the kwek-kwek and pork ear, but honestly, everything I ordered was so good. The server was also really nice and very respectful to customers. ❤️ I forgot to ask his/her name.

Restaurant closed during posted hours
My experience at this restaurant was that the lights were on, but no one was there. I arrived at 4: 30 PM on a Thursday, expecting to find it open, as their store sign clearly states they are open Thursdays from 3 PM to 9 PM. Unfortunately, it was closed.

Mixed Experience with Flavor and Portions
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The Beef Sinigang had little flavor and wasn't sour enough, although the beef cubes were nice and big. The Chicken Adobo was tasty, but the portion size was on the smaller side. The restaurant also offered Karaoke entertainment.

Nourishing Filipino Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The bitter melon and sour soup were absolutely delicious. The food tasted incredibly healthy and clean, not heavy at all. It was my first time trying these dishes, and they truly showed me a different, nourishing side of Filipino cuisine. The food is delicious and served by friendly people. What’s not to love?

Authentic Filipino Flavors on Mission Street
I tried this Filipino restaurant along Mission Street in San Francisco and had a fantastic experience. I ordered one of their lunch combos, which included liempo with pork lumpia and their version of Bicol express. I opted not to have it spicy, and the taste was amazing! It's worth noting that their steamed rice serving is quite generous, so plan your order accordingly. The soy sauce and vinegar they make for grilled orders are a must-have. My takeaway from this visit is that if you've experienced traveling in the provinces of the Philippines and stopped at town restaurants, this place is it!

Good Food, Poor Service Experience
The food tasted pretty good! However, the service was lacking as they seemed to forget about us while waiting for our to-go order. Our food sat bagged up on the counter for about 15 minutes before we were given it. We were initially going to wait outside, but they insisted we wait inside. We noticed our order bagged up on a table, but assumed they would notify us. Everyone was nice, and I did tip. I observed them paying attention to dine-in customers, which led me to believe it wasn't our order. After 15 minutes, they apologized and handed us our order, which was the same bag from the counter. For the price, I expected my food to be hot, but it was cold by the time I walked home. While the taste was good, I feel I would have enjoyed it more if received promptly. Additionally, the amount of meat on the skewers seemed small compared to other places.

Excellent Service, Food, and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The service was great, with employees who were incredibly nice and helpful. The spot was very clean, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the pork lumpia and lechon, which were excellent. The portion size was good, easily enough for two people. Located right on the Mission, it's a perfect place to stop for some energy after a stroll.
