| - Love this place! Been here twice. Once on a Sunday afternoon for lunch around 1pm and it was very busy. It took a while for the servers to notice us and took about 30-40 minutes to get a table for 3 without a reservation. The second time was a Tuesday night for dinner with a reservation for 12 people and we were able to get the whole front patio to ourselves.
For $15 you get the Kamayan Feast with 2 fish (1 whole grilled with bones and the other was a fillet), grilled calamari, pork belly, a chicken skewer for each person, shrimp, mussels, eggplant and okra. With mango salad, slice of orange and a bottle of water. And their garlic fried rice is delicious, warm, lots of garlic flavour and refillable. The banana leaf on the table was also beautiful and smelled fragrant. They also have a spicy vinegar to dip. For $15 its a great deal for the amount of variety of food!
It is extremely worth it coming with 2 because you will get the same amount as you would for 4 people, but even with 3 people we were really really full after. The restaurant itself isnt the prettiest and the surrounding area is also not the nicest, the tables and chairs are very basic and the staff also seems to be in a flurry. The service isn't bad with the younger servers being more friendly. But its super fun eating with your hands (they provide gloves on the table if you want) Would definitely keep coming back, but its not an all the time everyday kind of meal. I'd also suggest going with people you are comfortable sharing with because of the family style and the fact you will be licking your fingers and putting hands back into the pile
