| - This and Gingeroot are the only places left close to me. I pick this one when I want something packed up quick to go. They have the pick-a-dish style setup and I like asking what I'm pointing at. Some of the staff are more friendly than others, but they are all decent.
I've been here probably 5 times or so. I've never gotten anything unappetizing. I have little experience with Filipino food...that is to say I've never had a meal in someone's house by some old grandmother, so I don't know good pancit from bad pancit...good adobo from bad adobo. But honestly, everything I've gotten from here on any visit has ranged from pretty good to delicious.
Compared to the late Karey's Kitchen (tear), Halo-Halo, also late Eggroll Lumpia Factory (tear), and Gingerroot...this food is just as good as any them. At each place I've had at least one dish to completely wow me...and I've had about three here, and I'm sorry I don't remember the names! I SHALL learn my Filipino cuisine, by darnit.
The prices are decent, too I guess. I mean you can get a 2 item combo over rice for like $8. And the amount they give you is enough.
One thing that blows me away every time is this fried pork..uhm...skin I guess??? Its in the tall case sitting on the counter, all fried and golden and evil. This stuff probably takes months off of your life, but its just pure bad goodness. And the sauce that comes with it could be put on a hubcap and taste good.
I also enjoy their lumpia. I've had it my last two visits and each time they were very light, fried perfectly, and stuffed generously. And the taste is awesome! Worth a whole star from this guy.
The interior has a side for karaoke, which one day I will go and just sit and watch... There's a decent amount of tables and its one of the bigger Filipino places inside. Filipino grocery type stuff is along the walls and makes you want to try...something or another just to see what it tastes like. A lot of deserts and snacks. Very cool to read the packages while you wait.
I now understand about the greasiness due to frequenting places like this lately. Sometimes I do frown at how much of my food ends up being grease, but this is mainly noticeable when you have left overs the next day...warming it up is a grease-fest. It seems a little greasier here than the other places I've visited. But I must say, the food still taste great to me.
Oh and get the cantaloupe juice! Theirs is not as good as Halo-Halo's, but it's still one of the best things to drink on a hot day around here.
