I had their wings and french fries and they were really good. I'm excited to go back and try their Filipino food. Hidden gem in Avondale
Food was excellent as was the service. I thought the interior was cozy and welcoming, with a stage that the owner told us they use for comedy and karaoke on some nights. Not sure why the didn't have a lit sign outside, seemed odd, but I hope they get one soon so they can attract more diners to this gem of a restaurant. I think the portions could be a little larger too on some of the dishes.
Food was amazing! I've been here 3 times and never has it disappointed. The lumpia,wings, ube cheesecake and the bugogi fries have been superb. Will definitely come to their karaoke or dance nights
Got them ordered for a potluck, flavors were amazing. Really great dry rub, in your face buffalo sauce, and super sweet and tangy Asian BBQ were so good. Definitely will eat again! Affordable too!
Oh my fishes the Lechon Kawaii was spectacular. The accompanying sauce is liver based and so good. The pork belly is fried and perfectly seasoned and salty. Just to die for! I couldn't wait to taste more so I also ordered Pancit Bihon and a large egg drop soup trusting I'd want some to take home for later! Even better than the good was chatting with the lovely couple that own this establishment. Their love story was so fun to hear! I highly recommend dropping in and exploring the flavors! I'm told the spice levels can get quite high (though I'm a sissy so kept everything mild). They apparently just some great events, comedy nights, and music weekly so definitely check them out. Just as I was about to leave they busted out karaoke so I stayed and ordered more flavors! The garlic rice was tasty with an enjoyable crunch. The cauliflower bites were great, lightly friend with a creamy sauce that had a bit of a kick. Finally the quail egg I tried was a bit of creamy deliciousness like a tiny devils egg inside a baby egg. Highly recommend! My only suggestion would be to upkeep the bathrooms
Top-notch food and service, a nice family owned restaurant, this food is delicious. I live in the neighborhood and this place has to be my go to spot for any type of cuisine.
