Found steel wool in my food!
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. I found part of a steel wool sponge in my food and am pretty sure I accidentally swallowed another piece. Pictures were attached as proof. Due to this incident, I won't be coming back.

Great Value and Vibes!
My first time here was a great experience. I enjoyed the chicken inasal with rice, which the photo doesn't do justice. It was very good and offered great value. The atmosphere was also sweet. I will definitely be back. Masarap!

Delicious & Affordable Filipino Grub
This is a no-frills grub spot where Lolo and Lola are in the back whipping up delicious and affordable food. Just wave, and they’ll greet you with a smile. If you know, you know 🤷🏾‍♂️. I'm looking forward to coming back in March 2024 for the Chicken & Pork Adobo combo with white rice, which will be $10. 40. ALWAYS ask for extra sauce on your rice; you won’t be sorry. Shout out.

Quick Filipino Lunch Spot
My experience at this restaurant was that of a rusty spoon tucked on the main road in the Mission. It offers quick Filipino food, perfect if you're ever tired or in a hurry during lunch. I tried the Bistek and rice, and it was a great meal.

Delicious Authentic Flavors!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, particularly with the food. The braised beef was incredibly flavorful, and the mini lumpias were also good. I enjoyed the authentic taste of the chicken adobo. While I wish there were more choices, the food was delicious all the way through.

Cold Food, High Price, Poor Service
On my second visit, I was surprised to be charged $13. 14 for four small Shish kebabs, which I expected to be around $8. 00. The meat was served cold, just like during my first visit. I was hoping for hot food, but instead, I received cold food. I would not recommend this place or return. The food is bottom tier, and the service is what you'd expect from fast food – not good. Undercooked pork is also a major issue. The positive reviews seem questionable, perhaps people genuinely enjoy bad food.

Overpriced and Not Good Food
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was overpriced and frankly, it wasn’t good. This will be the last time I’m eating here.

Delicious Diniguan and Silog!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially with their all meat Diniguan. I was thrilled that they were able to accommodate my request to have it served as a Silog. Salamat!

Hidden Gem with Authentic Filipino Delights
My experience at this restaurant was a delightful surprise! They serve good food. If you're lucky, they might have turon, suman, and even Balot available. This place truly feels like a hole in the wall, offering an authentic and enjoyable dining experience. Enjoy!
