My new favorite restaurant in Chicago. All four of us were constantly “mmmmmm’ing.” Great dinner out on the Northside.

Not very familiar with Filipino food but I enjoyed this place a lot as a fusion spot. We came in near closing but the waitress was so kind and prompt even though she was the only one in the front. The “nigiri” was seriously flavorful, but thehighlight was the white chocolate flan. Never had basil on flan but it was a genius move. The restaurant interior is cute too.

Absolutely wonderful establishment. Everything from the amazing food, cooked and presented with perfection. To Hannah with ease single handedly running the front of a packed restaurant. I just wish I could give an even higher rating to the gem of arestaurant that I have found. Thanks guys for making my night.
