Took my son and daughter there for his 18th birthday. He has an interest in Filipino culture and really wanted to go. First, the guy with the long hair working there was a truly fabulous human being, my daughter became such a fan. His personality is great, he’s everyone’s friend. The food was awesome! Lumpia and chicken adobo, delicious. Took home some of the chicken buns they had for sale. Delicious! It was also the cheapest restaurant meal I’ve had in some time. I think the gentleman up front charged in a way that made it less expensive, probably due to us being new. We will definitely be back to spend tons of money there, I loved it, we all did.

The homey feel of the place, the delicious food choices, highly recommend going there. Having the titas preparing all the dishes is what you want in a place. The interaction between the staff and the customers was great to watch. Everyone was cordial to each other while waiting for their orders. Can’t wait to come back!!

I’ve been here no less that 10 times since moving here and it’s ALWAYS consistent and delicious. There are a few other restaurants I’ve tried, where the first experience was good, and the 2nd or 3rd visit disappointed… not here. Great food, great value, solid portions, and an amazing staff. My favorite place in JVille, period.

This place is a hidden gem! I have been looking for some good Filipino cuisine…I found it. My bro and I had lunch, and we tried several items, apps, calamari, lumping, spring rolls….lunch was..curry chicken, oxtail, and braised pork,all were spot on! The place was clean and the staff was a pleasure. The line seemed to never end, but as i said, the staff (2) never lost their smile.I highly recommend this place.

I’m coming from Sunny San Diego and I’ve enjoyed the two times I’ve gotten take away from here. I was shocked to have dinuguan in Jacksonville, NC, but there it is like a light shown upon a key item in a video game.
So far, nothing at this place is a miss. I enjoy dipping my puto in all the sauce/broth of the wonderful variety of entrees they have available. A coworker of mine won’t stop raving about the Lechon Kawali, which I’ll have to get this Sunday, since Kare Kare is only available on Sundays! Gotta have it.
Ordering any combo meal gives you a healthy heaping serving of rice which I very much enjoy. I haven’t ordered the solo entrees, so I’ll be able to explore that later.
The staff is very kind, as all pinoy/pinay are, and will take the time to explain all the dishes available at the counter and on the menu.
My only minor criticism is the atmosphere and Vietnamese food items that are out of place. The murals of the Philippines are charming and wonderful. But some things deter from the central theme of this eatery, just my opinion. Also having Vietnamese staples available is akin to Chinese restaurants having chicken nuggets and French fries.
I believe the main Filipino cuisine stands strong on its own and these chefs don’t need to pander to any other crowd. I’m coming from San Diego, CA, where the Filipino town is abundant with restaurants, this place can compete with them. I understand if these dishes are there for variety or if there’s excess cuts, or perhaps there are Vietnamese chefs in the back, then you might as well make the Vietnamese dishes, but it just feels out of place. But I love this restaurant no matter what.
I’ve shared my takeaway with my coworkers and they all love it. I definitely want to cater from this restaurant, which by the way, is an option!

This place is hopping! The line never stopped and we fed our whole family for such an affordable price. Our kids were obsessed with the lumpia and honestly, it was so much food for the price. They are asking to come back soon. The waiter was very friendly and treated everyone like his long lost best friend 🙂 It is refreshing to see that much kindness.

I’ve lived in San Diego for a long time, which has a lot of cultural fusion and renowned restaurants. This place absolutely blows most joints I’ve been to out of the water. The staff are all extremely friendly and informative regarding the ingredients/menu. They also play the Interstellar soundtrack there for some reason. Pho was nourishing and good for the soul and their pork lumpia is one of those things I’d be content eating for every meal for the rest of my life. 5/5. If you have not been here yet put your damn shoes on and live a little.
