Being away from Momma's cooking has made me homesick and crave the greasy deliciousness of Filipino food. Unfortunately, Pinoy Bistro didn't rise to the occasion.
I walked in yesteday evening to order some food to go. There was no one at the front and it took a few minutes before someone came over to me. The waitress was nice but you can tell she was new. She didn't know much about the menu. When I asked her how many sticks come with their pork bbq entree, she had to go back to the cook and ask. Odd. I placed an order of lechon kawali and pork bbq. I ran to Sprouts in the meantime, but when I came back almost a half hour later the food still wasn't done.
After another 10 minutes, I got my food and went on my merry way. The meal was mediocre at best. The lechon kawali wasn't what I expected. It was 6 pieces of fried pork and a cup of rice. $8 for 6 pieces? It wasn't work it. The pork bbq was good but only two sticks is not worth the $7.
Overall, I might go back just because it's the closest Filipino restaurant to me. But I wouldn't expect much more than average.
