It appears they do have a karaoke night.
They have a parking lot that is shared with another business.
The bathroom has a code to enter.
They have a little store to purchase some island food for you to put together.
Yes I will be coming back to this restaurant
The food was mid. I liked the lumpia, but the adobo was pretty bland and so was the pancit. I think it was overpriced for what you get.
After we were finished eating we waited for 15 minutes to try to get the servers attention. We finally were able to flag her down to request to go containers and to pay. The server seemed annoyed that we were requesting stuff from her.
Overall I was hoping this place would be good enough to become a regular, however I’m not sure I will return.
When we arrived the music was pretty loud and we were seated right next to the speaker. The server did turn the music down. And eventually the music turned off, which was nice because it was music through youtube videos with ads and the videos were getting pretty inappropriate for my young daughter to see.
Service is pretty slow. It was around noon on a Saturday, there was only one other table with two people, and it took quite a while for food to come out.
Only one server and she wasn’t really attentive. We did have to ask her for water refills.
I thought the food was delicious. I got a combo pork adobo plate. (Asked for chicken, but apparently it wouldn’t be ready until afternoon, so ended up with pork). We also had the Halo Halo and my husband ordered an adobo bowl.
First time I tried Halo Halo and I did like it. Not sure what is ‘normal’. I did notice the beans were a bit hard, but it could be because they were on ice. I wish there had been more green jellies! It was a huge serving, so the price made sense… Although it is mostly ice. If you get that… Plan to share it.
The place is clean, a little small, but it wasn’t crowded when we went. There is a bar section for adults only. It is bright and airy. There are two bathrooms right at the entrance, easy to spot. Bathrooms are clean.
I think the biggest thing to be aware of is that the menu price is only good if you pay cash. I was surprised to see they charged us extra for each item and it seemed there were two prices, one for cash and another for cards. Usually, that kind of charge is clearly communicated and is limited to purchases under $15. We were surprised to see it for a purchase of over $50 and it wasn’t communicated upfront and maybe I missed a sign, but I didn’t see any sign explaining it.
The price paid for the amount of food and combined with the ‘so-so’ service makes this place a mixed bag for me.
The parking lot is behind the building and there were plenty of spots when we arrived, though at busy times it might fill up.
They do have one or two vegetarian options, but this is mostly a meat and rice kind of restaurant. They have Hawaiian and Filipino cuisine.
But seriously that halo halo was amazing.
We will definitely be back.
Delicious food, and great amount of food that is not pork dishes. The Filipino culture is everywhere throughout here. For AAPI month, they were giving free pork lumpia with every order from the AAPI menu. Great ambiance and team, good vibes. Easy parking lot, lots of space. Def going back!
