Reviews
They had a variety of my favorite Filipino dishes, but I played it safe and order chicken adobo for myself and my fiancée. I’ve never met anyone who’s ever disliked adobo, and I wasn’t wrong this time either; full of flavor and freshly made, we weren’t disappointed.
In addition to its superb location off of Pulaski Hwy/US-40, it’s situated in a nice part of Middle River and has an appealing exterior. Outdoor seating was aesthetically pleasing and a great choice for the weather today. There’s also plenty of indoor seating, away from their mini market.
The market has a great selection of imports — a lot of childhood favorites, and some brands that feel like a fever dream seeing again.
I suppose part of its appeal can be attributed to the nostalgia of homeland comfort foods and brands, and the convenience of being able to find it all in one place without having to hop on a 16-hour flight.
The staff here are very friendly and polite, true to iconic Filipino hospitality. The dining area and store were well-organized and clean. Would definitely recommend checking this place out, even if you’re from out of the area — it’s well worth the drive.
I’ve eaten here three times, and mostly got skewers.
You can get 5 sticks of pork, or 5 sticks of chicken for a dollar more, according to the website.
I’m unsure if the website is wrong or if I am being lied to, but the second and third time, I was given half as much chicken as pork.
A promo order is 5 sticks. So where I would get 10 sticks of pork for a double promo, I was told a double promo of chicken at the same price was only 5 sticks. I got 2 double promos of chicken which should have been 20 sticks, not 10.
So I ended up twice paying about 50 bucks for only ten sticks of chicken, two separate times, and was told this was correct. The logic being that chicken, to them, is twice the price of pork.
After checking with other stores, and the website, it most certainly is not, an order of chicken should only be a dollar more and no less chicken it would seem. At other stores the switch from pork to chicken for a single stick is 30 cents, and an order of 4-5 sticks from pork to chicken is a dollar, so why is it double here?
It wouldn’t even make logistical sense. So if I got two double promos and that was 10. A double promo would be 5…and then a single promo would be what? 2 and 1/2? The more I think about it, the more it seems very sketchy, and mind you this has happened twice. I’m just not super confrontational.
So I’m not sure whose error this issue is, the website, or this particular store being more expensive for whatever reason, or I would hate to think I was lied to multiple times, but this doesn’t seem right at all.
I’m going to try other locations or options and see if I run into this same issue.
The food was very good. However, I had an unpleasant interaction with the cashier lady, who was very rude and unprofessional. She does not seem to have the necessary customer service education to interact appropriately with patrons.
I hope the owner takes a moment to address this situation. It is unfair for the restaurant to lose customers simply because an employee is unwilling to perform their job respectfully.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
If you can get over the rude old lady at the front register you’ll be alright. She’s a damn grouch!
