| - Found this place by accident as we were driving around, looking for a place to kill time while waiting to pick up our daughter. As Bay Area Californians who recently relocated to the East Valley, finding a Filipino restaurant can easily be the highlight of our weekend. We got the Sisilog, Longsilog, and Pancit and were in heaven! They were all so scrumptious and reminded us of our parents' home cooking. And the halo halo?? Perfect way to top off the meal and satisfy our craving, especially in the heat. The girls behind the counter were very sweet and very helpful.
Only complaint and reason I can't give 5 stars:
We were there in the late afternoon and there was a note that said it would be closing for a private event later in the evening. It seemed to be a celebration for the family who owned the restaurant. We still had a good 1-2 hours before that time, but they were already setting up, which is fine. My issue was that as they were setting up, literally around our table, we felt rushed and in the way. I get that they were busy and excited about their event, but If they needed the space, they should have closed that section off. They were decorating and rushing around, all around our table, and no one even acknowledged us or said anything to us. It was only the older man, who I assumed to be the owner who smiled at us and waved to our kids as we were leaving and thanked us for coming in. Thank goodness for that nice, simple gesture to help smooth things over.
