This rating is for their lunch buffet which is offered on Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. The food was good and fresh. The buffet menu changes daily. You can check the day before on their website on what they will be offering the next day. They had tempura squash, sautéed greenbeans, crispy pata, fried chicken, baked fish, tinola chicken soup, steamed rice, garlic rice, and pancit. Dessert it was only buko pandan. They also had pickled ampalaya (bittermelon) and a tomato onion salad. As for the atmosphere, the place was too dim for me. More like lighting for a night club,and it was lunch time. Wish it were brighter. Price is very good.

I haven’t been to this place for a long time but since we are around the area I thought a buffet would be nice on Saturday.
As soon we came in the buffet schedule was changed to every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The food was great but I noticed the fried rice if I’m not mistaken they used sushi grain rice. I’ve never seen a Pork adobo together with plantains, but it’s taste alright. Calamari is good. Mango drink, I believe it came from a Gina mango juice in can.

Food was so flavorful! We ordered fish, beef calderetta and the garlic rice with pickled veggies on the side, one of the best meals I’ve had in a while from a restaurant! Service was a little slow, it took about 20 minutes for us to get our drinks from when we sat down but the waitress was nice so we didn’t mind much. Atmosphere is a little loud, I think they rent out half of their restaurant for parties and events and there was one going on that night, but that’s also a good thing, I’ll keep them in mind next time I have an event lol.
All in all, I’d go there again because the food was top tier!

Stopped here for lunch before heading to San Jose.
If you were to judge the atmosphere by the outside appearance, you would probably be surprised.
Not a fancy building, but once inside it seems elegant.
They serve a lunch buffet on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Menu rotates, and if you look on their website the night before, it will tell you what they are serving the next day.
Offerings are fairly basic. Steamed rice, fried garlic rice, pansit (noodle dish) with veggies and chicken, a fried pork dish, a beef dish, I think it was beefsteak, and seafood shrimp dish cooked in coconut and a dessert. Soup was mongo.
You told the server what you wanted and she would fill your plate. Prices were ok, but I wish they would offer more food options.

Planning a wedding venue here for August and was able to work out the details over lunch. Food was great and Zita was personable and accommodating. We’re excited for the upcoming wedding in August

This place is fantastic! I really wish more non-Filipinos would try traditional Filipino food, especially when it tastes this darn great. On top of how delicious the food is, the staff and servers are wonderful, both friendly and prompt, and the restaurant itself has a very nice ambiance, tastefully decorated, with typical Filipino music (e.g. covers of famous songs sung by pitch perfect Filipino artists) playing in the background. One of the surprise highlights for me was dessert; their fried suman with ube and mango sauce was unique and super tasty. Highly recommended!

Update: They really need to work on customer service at lunch. It would be better to allow customers to serve themselves from the buffet. The waiter allowed someone to cut me in line twice without any care in the world. I was patiently waiting quite a long time and these people were allowed to get their plates, sit at their table and still come back in line right in front of me and get more plates. Twice. I reminded the waiter that there was a line and I am in line and he didn’t care at all and didn’t say anything. I guess only come here for Sundays and holidays so you don’t have to wait for everyone to cut you in line. The service doesn’t exist at lunch at all. They left a pitcher of water at my table and never came back. No napkins, no check in, nothing. Then they let everyone cut me in line. Not worth the price to stand in line and the whole restaurant gets service before me regardless of lines.
*****Old review is no longer valid. Customer service is non-existent at lunch.*****
Excellent Filipino food! Love coming for their lunch buffet, Mother’s Day and Easter brunch buffets. The pricing is very reasonable. Currently I think $16.99 for lunch buffet and $29.99 for Sunday & holiday brunch. Check out the daily menu online because the lunch buffet menu changes daily. You get your money’s worth in lechon alone lol! Mostly traditional Filipino food, but once they had sisig alfredo pasta and it was delicious! Lunch buffet is a bit fancy because the staff serve you at the buffet line. The price did increase, but that’s everywhere in the Bay Area. The quality and AYCE buffet style is what make the price a steal. The restaurant itself is pretty and clean. I love the piano, capiz shell chandeliers and decor. I’ve had family members use this venue for their event receptions the staff was professional and the food was amazing. There is also a bar in the evenings and it’s very popular. As long as I could remember this place has been popular and well-loved. It has always had great food and a classy atmosphere.

Small lunch buffet menu Wednesday through Friday. It’s like Panda Express or Sisig Express, you point to what you want and a server dishes on a plate. Nice and hygenic.

Nice gem hidden between San Bruno and South San Francisco on El Camino Real. As a local, I know this place as a good place for Filipino food (especially for take outs). All that aside, it is overall a worthwhile place to go for dinner to enjoy an ambient atmosphere in their restaurant, or a go-to place to watch a game at the bar with alcoholic, which is thankfully separated from the eating area. The place also has a large venue in the back for events or reservation for parties, etc. They have a parking lot, and it does get full, but there are plenty available on the street or the parking lot across. Go for their Crispy Binagoongan and Bangus Sisig, we always order this for take out or for our own parties. Everything else is good standard Filipino food.

Good customer service and Philippine fusion dishes, like pork Adobo with plantains. Looks like alot of parties and reception are held here with the large party room in the back. Buffets are held daily.
