From the moment we arrived, she seemed annoyed, and this negative vibe continued throughout our meal. At one point, she even expressed her desire to go home to the second waitress who assisted us at the end. Unfortunately, I think we’ll be passing on this place in the future.

No celery or pea pods as advertised. The shrimp tasted like it was from frozen then boiled. The noodles were so broken up, I had to use a spoon. Absolutely no flavor. I threw it away. I should have known better because I didn 't see anyone carry-out pancit. The whole lechon kawali looked good though. Seemed to be the most popular thing for carry-out. Also there was a sign that said cash only today. But the sign looked old. I 'm assuming it 's cash only everyday.

My tummy is still suffering from whatever I had. The bistek tasted like they pretty much seasoned it with soysauce nothing else. Their lumpia was bland. No taste at all. I don’t usually write reviews but thought this would be helpful.
