    This place is definitely a gem! Met one of owners yesterday and became instant friends! The food is really yummy and customer service is top-notch. Tapa beef and Adobo Sandwich are delicious!

    Authentic Filipino dishes. Try them all. But don't leave without ordering the bread pudding to share. Ambiance is like visiting auntie's house; goes perfect with the food.

    A small restaurant with occasional live music. The banana bread is ok. The Filipino food here is a great way to introduce people to filipino cuisine.

    I liked the stewed beef with rice, as well as the pork belly dish. They were flavorful and tender. The waiter was very attentive

    Ugly on the outside but beautiful on the inside. Food is delicious and the service is great. Can't go wrong here.

    Street Parking, place is quaint. Not a place to go if you are in a hurry. Take your time, enjoy the food, drinks & violinist during Sunday Brunch 12pm-2pm.

    Love how homey it is here. Get the Filipino breakfast and their crispy pata is one of the best! Also, live guitar on Sundays!

    Get the Tocino (f-2) with garlic rice and over medium eggs! Mix the eggs and rice together with some hot sauce.. Delish!!

    If you like warm dates, walnuts, and sweet syrup, try half of a food of the gods. Maybe even consider getting dessert first (wait for it to be warmed)

    Nice little spot serving both Filipino food and traditional brunch fare. Good alternative to your usual turo-turo places.

    The Beef Mechado (roast) is delicious with the fish sauce in the broth.

    Food is incredible - I had buchon, garlic rice, and an empanada that were all amazing. But the service is appallingly slow

    Restaurant feels like your lola's house- decor like Old Manila, service like your titas around to chismis and dote on you, food where you can taste the love.

    Like visiting the Pilipino family you didn't know you had. Cute place w/ super friendly owners. It has been around for 30 yes. French toast was good but coffee was on weak side. Free wifi.

    Love this place, they make you feel so welcome. Reason #1 to come back... All the other reasons? Their menu!

    If you order an omelette and French Toast here, you're doing it wrong.

    Everything was blah. Bland chicken adobo. Garlic rice tasted nothing like it should have. And the bread pudding was pretty but tasteless. Pass.
