3 months agoWe made a reservation for 10 people. We got there at 6 p.m. We waited for so long to be seated, but it was impossible. There were a lot of people waiting. It was so crowded, and there were no tables at all. My sister bought a book just to have a photo with Mr. David Pomeranz. She got her wish. Whoever is the event coordinator, do better next time.

9 months agoLast night, my partner and I went out to eat and decided to try a dish called dinakdakan. However, we were surprised to find that it was made with liempo (pork belly), which was unexpected. While the cream or sauce in the dinakdakan was actually quite good, this was the first time I’ve ever encountered a version of it that used liempo as the main meat. It didn’t really taste like the traditional dinakdakan I know. I also ordered chicken tinola, but unfortunately, it didn’t taste good at all. It was very different from the usual tinola I’m used to, and I was honestly disappointed with it. The only dish I truly enjoyed that night was the beef caldereta—that one was flavorful and cooked just right. Even the rice they served was hard and not properly cooked, which made the meal less enjoyable. To make things worse, the music at the place was extremely loud—it felt like my eardrums were about to burst. It was hard to enjoy the food and have a conversation because of the noise. Overall, it wasn’t the best dining experience, but at least the caldereta saved the night a little.

a year agoFirst time visiting this part of Ca and friends took us here. Wife is Filipino and said this is by far the best Filipino food she has ever ordered in a restaurant. We ordered the fried platter and my wife was in heaven. We all ate to much lol. I'm not a big fan of some of the food but the clean plate picture posted was mine:). Great place. Definitely on our go to list when we come back this side.

a year agoFirst time here. Ordered to go. Food seemed fresh. We only ordered 3 items but 2x for each. Chicken BBQ: 10 out of 10. Good flavor. Chicken was tender. Pancit Canton: 8 out of 10. Good flavor. Not enough for the price. Overall taste was good. Would order again. Chicken Adobo: 6 out of 10. Didn’t have enough flavor. Was just mild overall. Not enough chicken. So was just ok. Prices: not cheap not expensive. But the portions are small. Flavor was overall good. But they could punch it up a bit on all the dishes we had.

2 years agoWhen I travel to LA and dine out, I always go for Chinese or Korean as there are a plethora of these types of restaurants. But this time I wanted to try a different type of Asian food, so my friend suggested Filipino. I honestly didn't know what to expect. The waiter made some recommendations and OMG!!! I had Lumpia, which are spring rolls filled with meat. Crispy pata, which is pork with a super crunchy skin. BBQ pork skewers and Sisig, which is also pork served on a hot skillet with a flavour I cannot describe. All served with a side of rice. For dessert, it was banana wrapped in spring roll wrapper, drizzled with toffee/caramel with a scoop of Ube ice cream. The biggest surprise was a dessert called Halo Halo, which is shredded ice mixed with sweet fillings (not sure what they are but tasted goo) topped with another scoop of Ube ice cream and creme brulé and drizzled with evaporated milk. The only thing that wasn't eaten was the lettuce leaf that was used as a garnish so it's evident that my family and I enjoyed the food. I will certainly return.

2 years agoMy Turkish boss has been exposing me to new cuisines. This was my first time trying filipino food. I am latina so I wasn’t expecting a huge difference, but I can taste the spices difference. Everything was served searing hot & full hearty portions. Everything was definitely delicious. We had multiple dishes between four of us - some I didnt get pictures if. I do remember trying the grilled octopus, which was my least fav dish. It was very charred which my coworker told me is the filipino way, but it was to hard to chew for me. I could get past the charred but maybe if it was cut into smaller pieces? Instead of one whole tentacle. My favorite dish was the dessert. I’ve never tasted anything like that. The aloe cubes & kidney beans surprised me. It was delicious. Overall recommend.

Edited a year agoTops in entertainment and Philippine cuisine! One of few Filipino restaurant that consistently deliver good quality food with options to cater individual preference as most dishes are offered in beef, pork, chicken and/or seafood/shrimp variation. Servers are most friendly and the crowd is always lively. Do come early as the place fills quickly with some tables reserved!
