We usually come here to get our Filipino food fix. We've been here several times over the past couple of years. The most recent visit was on Mother's day. My husband booked a reservation ahead of time just because it was Mother's Day and he was worried the place would be busier than normal. When we got to the restaurant, we gave us a table for 13 people. We were only 3. No harm done on our part but I sure hope they didn't switch our reservation with someone else's who asked for a table for 13. Service can sometimes be spotty. For instance, the dishes can come quickly but we had to wait quite a bit for the dessert.
The staff are friendly and nice including the owner who likes to interact with the diners.
For the food, my favorites are lechon kawali, sisig, laing, pancit malabon/palabok, liempo, binagoongan (pork). On this visit, the pancit malabon/palabok was served with thin noodles. The thin noodles tend to absorb a lot of the sauce which makes the dish dry. I should have asked whether they changed the recipe or they just ran out of thick Malabon-type noodles. I hope it's the latter since I really love their pancit malabon/palabok.
We don't live near the area so we order a lot and bring home the leftovers. We love coming here because I find the menu has better selection than Max's and it's not as busy.
