| - Yay to my 100th review for 2018 and I only think it should go to this new find of mine. It's definitely a new favorite Filipino restaurant for me and I will be back again many more times.
Came across this location while at the South Premium Outlet mall. I had noticed some new businesses and decided to check them out and see if any of them would be something I'd be interested in. I'm so glad I decided to check them out as I found this place as well as a new Black Bear Diner (another great spot).
I came around 5 pm on a Friday evening for dinner and the place was pretty busy, but not as busy as I had expected. They had plenty of seating available still. We were seated immediately by a friendly waitress. She handed us a couple of menus and brought out some ice water for us. She gave us a few minutes to look over the menu before coming back. I decided to get the Fresh Lumpia, which is a first time for me, but I love veggies so I wanted to give it a try. On top of that, we ordered Pancit Bihon and the Tapsilog dish.
While we waited I took the time to look around. The main dining area is fairly large and can accommodate quite a few people. They had nice decorations on the wall. It also seemed like they had a wreath for every holiday up on the wall too. A little different, but if it works for them then all the better. Each of the tables had different sauces available on them and were nicely set with a placemat and silverware. Tables were immediately wiped down as soon as customers left and reset with new items on the table. The employees were quick to bring menus and seat people as they entered. The music and TVs weren't overly loud which is nice when you dine with other people and want to have a conversation. Another nice thing I noticed while dining here was the fact that other customers were considerate of their surroundings and made sure not to be too loud for others.
Our food came out shortly and it looked delicious. My guest is pretty picky when it comes to trying new foods, especially from other countries so I thought what we ordered would be a good choice for him. First off, the Fresh Lumpia wasn't what I expected, but it was still good. It basically is a large lumpia wrapper (fresh and not fried) filled with veggies and topped with a peanut sauce. Overall it was good but probably won't order it again unless someone was with me that really liked it. I ended up eating most of it since my guest didn't care for it. The Fresh Lumpia cost $5.99. The Pancit Bihon was DELICIOUS and it was a large portion as well. Even sharing it I ended up taking half of it home for later. Noodles were well cooked, veggies perfect, and the meat was tender. Everything was seasoned just right. The Pancit cost $8.99. And lastly, the Tapsilog was also a must-try item on their menu. It is made of beef (well seasoned and not overly dried from cooking), garlic rice and egg. You can have the egg however you like but we asked for it to be sunny side up. This cost $7.99.
They also offer lunch combo specials. Monday thru Friday 11am-4pm. choice of 2 items w/ rice for $8.49. The choices are: Beef Caldereta, Bistek, Chicken Adobo, Lechon kawali, Dinuguan, Pork Adobo, 1/4 fried daing bangus, Kare-Kare, Menudo, Lechon Paksiw, and1 skewer.
The menu is large with lots to choose from, so there is something for everyone on it. Even picky eaters can find something even if it's just rice and noodles. I highly recommend coming to this place.
Last thing before I end this review is that they do have a minium for usuing a card. If you use a debit card, it's $10 or $15 with credit.
