| - 5 stars for service, 5 stars for the food. Theo, the owner, is incredible. Like shut-the-front-door incredible. I took my family here as an introduction to Filipino food. They're Chinese, and for any Asian, Filipino food is just...different. They were hesitant. I had already warned them that the food was likely greasy, b/c I've been to 3 other Filipino places in Vegas, and they've all been swimming in the grease. Anyways, I told Theo that this was their first time and also mentioned that my fiancee and I chose his restaurant b/c we'd been to the branch in Oahu and luv'd it. So he took care of us. Really took care of us. In addition to the free soda we got for checking in, he brought out two extra entrees...on the house. Here is what we ordered:
- chicken long rice- clear rice noodles with shredded chicken. Solid.
- original fried rice omelet- savory goodness. The take of this classic dish wins me over. It's their signature dish. Order it at least once.
- chicken adobo- succulent chicken. a filipino classic. dip with a vinegar-ey sauce.
- gisantes- a pork entree that is a little tart. interesting. not a bad item, but we had so much incredible food, that this took longer to finish.
- dinguan- surprisingly good. I don't normally go for blood, but the blood was more a part of the sauce, so not a bad dish. I'd eat it again.
- pinakbet- pretty good. We ordered a lot of meat heavy dish, so this was refreshing. I didn't get a piece of the bitter melon, so I can't tell you how bitter it was. (Some restaurants don't balance it with enough savoriness).
- pansit- popular with our table. I wished I got more of it.
- lechon- You must order this. Crispy pork rind. Very good.
- Pig Feet Lauya- I know this is a bit adventurous for some. Please do yourself a favor and order this dish. The skin and the meat around this portion of the pig is just so succulent and...ahhh, I'm salivating thinking about it. I can't wait to go back and order it again.
- shanghai lumpia- I prefer my mother's Viet eggrolls, but these were good.
- banana lumpia- good. I like fried banana desserts, so I had to try this. It does not compare to pisang goreng, but we liked it enough.
Nothing we ate was not yummy. I'm afraid that my review is not helpful, since it's not critical. But I could not be happier with my experience there. The best part was that the food was not a bit greasy. A great success with my family. Please come and support a wonderful local business.
