Love this place. It has amazing, traditional filipino cuisine, as close to authentic as you can get. The portions are meant to be shared, so bring a hungry friend. The chicken is what they are known for and it's amazing. Crispy skin but very tender,juicy meat. Much better than Swiss Chalet/Kfc/Popeye's. The pancet is great and has lots of meat and vegtables with just the right spices. The halo-halo is heavenly and huge so save room for dessert. The Shanghi is full of pork but portion wise it's probably the smallest portion item they have on the menu. They serve Jasmine white rice which goes great with their recipes. You're going to be full at the end of the meal. The atmosphere is kinda like a cross between old school Mcdonald's and a 70's filipino american diner. Very clean, bathrooms are great for fast food decor. You'll see what I mean when you go there. So why the 4 stars instead of 5?
This is why:
-1/2 star because:
Although the chicken is quite good, it is very pricey and small. My wife and kids finished a chicken by themselves, it was that good but also that small. To explain why this is important, they can barely finish half a whole chicken from Swiss Chalet.
-1/2 star because:
I think everything is made to order so that slows service down a lot. Expect to wait for most of your main course items. The apps come out fast but there's a long wait after that for your food. Keep in mind the wait is worth it so patience is a virtue here.
Even if you're not filipino or have not had filipino food, this is truely a taste of the philiipines that you have to experince at least once in your life. My suggestions for those not familiar with filipino cuisine.
Start with these:

Shanghi
