A friend visiting from LA wanted to try this place after finding out they serve nghiong. A Cebuano appetizer that is rarely served in Filipino restaurants and of course the Cebuano Lechon known for the best tasting roasted pig.
Came here for lunch, got seated immediately.
The interior had industrial touches combined with natural wood. It is a casual and clean restaurant.
My friend ordered the nghiong (the reason why we came here.)
Our server came back saying they ran out. Oookaaay?!
We moved on to ordering the next favorite veggie dish on the menu, then the server came back telling us they run out of the veggie dish. Oookaaay?! This is not looking good. So we opted for another dish.
My friend and I were looking at each other hoping that the rest of the dishes we ordered will be amazing and driving here from Henderson was worth our time.
Our server started bringing in the food and we definitely had a little feast on our table.
The chicken tinola soup was a little salty but the chicken was tender and cooked perfectly.
The Cebu Lechon tasted amazing, my friend who ordered chicharon bulaklak was having a blast! It tasted crunchy and barely greasy.
I could have rated this place a 5 star, but running out of favorite dishes on the menu is not an excuse for not having them on a weekend.
There's a lot of popular and favorite Cebuano dishes that could have been added to the menu.
The menu has limited choices.
OVERALL:
Pro: dishes we ordered were delicious
Con: not a lot of choices on the menu; running out of popular dishes, that's a no no!
