I have been craving chicken adobo & rice for quite some time now. A co-worker pointed out Casa Manila was around the corner and had heard good things.
Decor is nice, the trendy urban feel. Not like the typical Philipino restaurant with the TV blasting. Food smelt great and was anxious to dig in. Having a lunch special option was great with commonly eating foods on a hot table for you to choose from. Flavours are good, and as fresh as it can be for being on a hot table.
Only thing i'm going to criticize is portion size versus price.
$6.99 for lunch plate (rice & 3 chopped pieces of chicken with sauce)
$1.00 for extra item (5 pieces of crispy pata)
$2.00 for drink (eska water)
I would definitely return and try more items and write another review. It's hard to find a nice Philipino restaurant and this could be a hidden gem that people need to recognize
Till next time,
