The food is great! Perfect for catering large gatherings and my go-to for a quick bite for lunch.
Just moved to the area and so glad to be close to a place that makes Filipino food like it was my grandma in the back kitchen. It's "turo turo" style which means choose choose so like a Panda Express of Filipino food. Dishes that take hours to prepare are kept warm on steam tables. If you've never had Filipino food before, it may not look appealing but every dish we had was packed with flavor. We ordered 2 combo plates that come with 2 items and a scoop of rice. Diniguan 5 stars Caldareta 5 stars Giniling 5 stars Beef steak 4 stars ( had the flavor of beef steak but had peppers instead of onions that I'm used to.)
