Overall cool atmosphere.
Service is a bit rough when it gets busy, try to get there early for brunch.
Food was good, especially for the price. Really enjoyed it! Will try to come back for dinner next time.

Well this is a bucket list driving from Chicago but I’ll have to come back again because I only had the Filipino brunch menu dining in. It was delicious. What really caught my attention on the website and I have to come back probably another time probably when it’s a little warmer in the spring for their famous Beef Machado which is served for dinner. I went for their brunch which was good too. Their lumpia Shanghai or Filipino fried egg rolls were treating like an formal appetizer. Traditionally, when you’re invited to a Filipino party the egg rolls are more like hors d’oeuvres than a formal appetizer in a big group and they separate the chili or sweet and sour sauce like a dip or condiment similar to ketchup and fries. It tasted good and original in traditional Filipino cuisine. Ambience was very modern but then again I see a lot of the newer restaurants in franchises like Max’s restaurant franchise making it modern ambience versus reflecting traditional ambiance. It was originally another American restaurant bar but the owner being Pinoy Filipino bought it. I had found it on Facebook and it looked like a bucket list to come all the way from Chicago despite having a lot of other Filipino restaurants back in Chicago. I just came from a French Filipino one called “Kasama” which was unique that you had to pay first and then sit down and order your food ahead for their brunch and the dinner. Anyways, going back with this place it was good service. Staff was pretty friendly especially Lola and Brandon. I also met the chef for Dinner named Olivia My food came quick i for time having brunch. I ordered the Topsilog which was unique but delicious. Their version they don’t use pork. I really don’t eat pork that much now that I am older. They use thin marinated semi sweet and savory beef served with one Sunnyside egg and garlic rice for this restaurant’s version. I just wish that portions was a little bigger as I was a little unsatisfied and I had to order another Filipino egg roll.I would come back for the dinner for the Machado was the main attraction. I did like the Ube drink called “Manila dreams” with vodka, lemon and guava with a dried lemon as a garnish. Surprisingly, I didn’t really taste the tarty sweetness of lemon despite that it was labeled in the menu with guava. It was an alcoholic Filipino cocktail drink with Ube or purple yam which I don’t see it being utilized as a usual cocktail at a bar or restaurant. I guess by chance if you’re in Rockford, Illinois do stop by here if you’re craving for Filipino breakfast, brunch and hopefully dinner but if you could wait up to after 5:00 pm I would suggest probably trying to dinner which I haven’t done yet but will come next time.

Thoroughly enjoyed the fried chicken and ube pancake, as well as the morning noodles. Everything was flavorful and well prepared.
Loved seeing local art on display, and there’s also a great selection of beverage options.

Beef Mechado – absolutely divine! So delicious and the portion size has doubled. What a nice night back at 27 Aluna, for me.

This establishment has a cozy and pleasant ambiance. However, the food was not impressive; the portions were small, and my lumpia was undercooked and required recooking. The staff were friendly and patient, and the service was excellent. They graciously removed the affected dish from the bill. While we were disappointed with the food, we might consider returning for the service or maybe their liquor selection, as they have a bar. We apologize for expressing our disappointment.

I really love this place, the food and the drinks are consistently good. The flavors are wonderful. Its a great place to hang out, wonderful atmosphere.
My one complaint would be before shows downtown at places like the Coronado.
They struggle with service when they are busy. The wait staff doesn’t always seem to work well together. For the second time, we were recently there for dinner before an event. 90 minutes at a table with a reservation, and we only managed two drinks about 40 minutes apart. The stress was evident with the wait staff, but the bartender seemed at ease even with the backup of orders at the bar. After the rush started to slow, nobody was clearing the tables for new guests, the wait staff just seemed flustered.
Room for improvement there, but I would still recommend going during times of normal operation for the unique flavors they offer to the city. Really happy to have them downtown.

First time here with our party of 6.
We ordered the tapsilog, pancit umaga, chicken wrap, sausage samee, and ume pancakes—and overall, it was a flavorful, satisfying spread with a fun twist on Filipino classics.
The tapsilog was savory and comforting, with tender beef and garlicky rice done right. The pancit umaga and morning noodles were both solid breakfast picks—familiar yet elevated. The chicken wrap was unexpectedly delicious—crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned. Topped with creamy slaw, served with home cut fries which were great. The sausage samee brought that sweet-savory longganisa flavor we love.
The only letdown was the ume pancakes, which were unfortunately a bit burnt—bummer, since we were looking forward to them.
The drinks, though, completely delivered. All the syrups are house-made, and it shows. Our favorite was the Manila Dreams—vodka, ube, guava, oat milk, and lemon. Creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of boozy. The Bloody Mary was also excellent with their in-house mix—bold, balanced, and not too heavy on the spice.
Overall, amazing flavors, creative cocktails, and a great vibe. We’ll be back—hopefully to catch those pancakes on a better day!

Made reservations they were able to get us right in. The waitress was phenomenal I asked questions about the dishes and she was able to answer them quickly and respectfully. The place was very busy and they still got our food out relatively quick. As the dishes came out each one was very delicious and as good as advertised. I would highly recommend try this place.

I normally wait until I leave to leave a review, but this simply could not wait.
We are in town for the Rockin Rockford volleyball tournament. Aggressively hung over, we decided to blindly give this place a shot.
Boy were we surprised. In the best way possible. Atmosphere of the restaurant is so welcoming. Comfortable seats, great drink choices, and the food.
The food is beyond anything we could have imagined. I’ve never had Filipino food before, but always heard good things. I will gladly make the almost 2 hour drive just to eat here again. The Ube Pancakes were to die for, the Morning Noodles were out of this world. Honestly, nothing but positive feedback. I also love the fact that the farms they source ingredients from are listed on the menu.
Keep up the good work! We will be back!!
