Reviews
i highly recommend everything we tried tonight:)
update: ordered on uber to show my coworkers some good food and everyone fell in love! i tried the chicken tacos this time. 10/10!!! this place is such a gem
I was reading the menu outside and was immediately greeted and welcomed in, I was told the daily special and fresh deserts that were just put out.
The service was incredible the food was delicious I highly recommend you to visit this place.
I ordered sinigang na pork belly, and my daughter ordered the teriyaki chicken. What I was served was not sinigang. There was absolutely no sourness in the soup, and the meat was nowhere near pork belly—it tasted like scraps. Even the vegetables were unappetizing. There was no soul in this food. I couldn’t eat it at all.
My daughter’s teriyaki chicken was just as bad. The chicken was extremely tough and so hard that she couldn’t even chew it.
I didn’t take pictures of everything because I honestly just wanted to leave.
For the price we paid, the food was not worth it in any way. This was a complete letdown. I will never come back to this place. I truly don’t understand how this restaurant has good reviews. Just being honest—this place is not worth it, and I would not recommend it to anyone.
We ordered over 5 different plates for our family to try various dishes. They were all absolutely disappointing, like no flavor and exactly the same as their bakery business, the desserts have no flavor!? Like other reviews have said, small portions but high prices. The dishes visually look good but literally have no taste. They sell their bakery items at this restaurant too.
When we were paying the sister was actually very rude, especially when I said we came from their bakery and mentioned the discount. She gave me a hard time even after showing her both bakery receipts for proof. I showed her the digital receipt first because I didn’t want to dig in my bag, but eventually found the printed receipt because the girl was implying I was lying about purchasing from their other business since I didn’t have the paper receipt first. I showed her how the digital receipt has the current day and told her we came purely based on the bakery’s recommendation. The paper receipt had Flo’s(Saysosweets owner) handwriting for the restaurant discount. Even after showing the paper receipt, the girl’s face looked angry to apply a discount and said that people apparently fake the receipts for discounts all the time. We were so surprised because the restaurant wasn’t busy at all! We never came back here again and my spouse gave the leftovers our dog. My spouse has been to Guam and said this restaurant is an insult to Chomorro and Filipino food because both cultures do have flavorful food.
The place is cute and the food is delicious. Not only that, but the flavors from this fusion cuisine are really fun. I usually don’t describe flavors as fun, but here we are!
We ordered the glazed salmon, lechon kawali, the locomoco, and a gumbo type dish that I forgot the name too. Oh and a ton of lumpia.
All was great. My kids (19g and 14b) were raving that they could tell from the vibes that this place was, and I quote, “gonna hit”. It was giving “hidden gem”.
You’ve gotta try it at least once, and ideally keep going back!
5 stars
