Description
A longtime neighborhood Filipino spot praised for classic dishes like nilagang baka and kare-kare faces mixed reviews: loyal fans applaud authentic flavors and friendly service, while others report higher prices, unclear charges, and inconsistent quality—oily or undercooked items and large batches served late. The cozy, pre-COVID homey vibe and modest seating have diminished, shifting toward takeout and groceries. Serious service issues were alleged, including rude staff and a reported credit-card incident, tempering recommendations despite lingering strengths in traditional fare.

Accommodated my order even on a short notice. Food: 4
Food gave me diarrhea. I love filipino food but please do something with safe food handling practices Food: 1 Service: 3
I was charged $14 more at your store compared to the same quantity of items I purchased at Philam. I spent $34.47 at Philam, but at your store, it came to $48.78 for the same items. I'm not sure how this happened, but it's just unbelievable. Please don't let this happen again.

If I had read the reviews beforehand, I wouldn't have placed an order. The food is quite pricey at $7.95 each, and there is no clear indication of the prices when you order. As a customer, I felt unwelcome; the staff was rude and unprofessional. The food was also quite oily. If you don't speak their language, you will likely receive poor treatment, as they speak among themselves about you. Some of the food appeared to be old, and despite the kitchen closing soon, they still brought out plenty of pre-cooked dishes. This was my first and last visit; I'm glad I ordered from TGTG instead, as it didn't come with such a hefty markup.
