Same taste as with the Max's in the Philippines , I missed the Ube Decadence and there should be one on the menu. Hopefully next time. Overall it was delicious.

The garlic fried rice will be the best rice dish that ever happened to you. Choose it over white rice .

Jiselle Oh

If you're getting mais con quezo try ordering it as a take out since, the amount you get is more than dining in. Its like comparing a small tall glass to a small fat cup (similar to dunkin donut cups)

depends on what type of Filipino food you like and have acquired. to me, all their food is very salty so chose wisely !

IMO, the best menu items: Lechon kawali, Crispy pata , chicken sisig , teaseers. Go try it... yummm!

Oscar Lakra

Sizzling tofu and Ube Ice cream are my favorites.

Perze Ababa

Get the Fried Chicken . It's the reason why this restaurant exists. While you are at it, get everything else.

Jen A

It's gotten a lot better in the last few months. Try the lumpia shanghai, kare kare , bistec and lechon kawali. Good stuff.

Chicken is OVER~RAT ED. everything else is good. Wish they had melon or avocado drink on the menu...

Two words: Crispy pata .

Alexis Rafols

They have the best crispy pata and karekare , both are better than their chicken !

OYAM

The service here is soooo bad, wait time for your food to arrive in your table is 65 mins.

Henry Bizlante

Ask for the raw octopus . It's not on the menu . Only cool people know about it

Iyan Mari

Sarap to the bone

Jay Tnez

The quality of the food-horrible, the waiter kept pushing us to buy food we did not want, charged extra for refills, and to make matters worse my wife got sick and threw up when she got home. 1 star!

Donnie Constantino

Sarap to the bones... especially with banana ketchup ! ???????????? ????

Joseph Refuela

Service a bit slow..especially since its after lunch rush

Freddy

Don't bother with the chicken . Its regular fried chicken . KFC tastes better! The appetizer teaser is good and lechon kawali. Very nice staff though!

Cuppy Cake

We had the longsilog & tapsilog I like the tapsilog better, service is nice:)

kid bukid

Overrated, there's nothing special about this restaurant . Food is mediocre and the prices are extremely high for the quality of the food.i would never recommend this place,not even my filipino friends

Vivianne Sebastian

Wait time is definitely long.Good thing food is really good!:)

Totally overated! A.C has been out of service this whole summer. If you're really curious, go at least once. But for me, once was def enough.
