Stopped by here twice (Jan.&Mar.) and decidedly disappointed both times.
Firstly, the dishes were warm to cool except for the comp broth. The dinuguan had kind of an oxidized flavor--unfresh. Secondly, the lechon kawali was hard and dry. Thirdly, the other dishes would have been flavorful but were cool then only to be complimented by the cool rice. We don't know if it was our timing or what but we were there during lunch hour both times.
Now I wish the managers would read this to reinforce my mention of the food condition to the friendly wait staff behind the counter. The franchise is our favorite in Cerritos, CA--because their dishes there are always piping hot due to the high turnover of food(gets very busy).
I'll still patronize the place however because of their variety of offerings. I recommend their halo-halo...excellent!
