I was pretty excited to see on Yelp that there was a Filipino restaurant where you could actually order from a menu during dinner. Most Filipino restaurants are a grocery/restaurant where the food is sitting on a food warmer.
First I'll comment on the food. Pretty good. i think it's something I think most Filipinos would approve of. We had Palabok, Lechon Kawali, and Lumpia Shanghai for the appetizer. Everything was cooked perfectly and if my parents were with me, they would actually compliment the food instead of complain about how they could cook better than this.
Unfortunately, my complaints about this place outweigh the good food.
1.) Rice wasn't even included. I had to pay for effing rice. At least include SOME rice with the dish and then make me pay for an extra rice. How the hell do you have filipino food and not have rice already included especially if a dish typically goes with rice? I understand if it's noodles, you don't need rice.
2.) Lumpia Shanghai was under the appetizer menu and it came out dead last after all the entrees.
3.) Our palabok came out and we were already done eating all of it and had to wait like 10 minutes before the lechon came out.
4.) For our the appetizer, two entrees, and rice, after tip, we spent about $48. That's too much for Filipino food.
5.) We stood at the entrance for about 5 minutes before someone finally seated us
6.) It took forever for them to bring water to our table and we never got one refill.
The wait staff looked pretty scatterbrained the whole time and the service we received reflected that. I really wanted to love this place, but can't even recommend it because of the prices and the service. Maybe you'll have a better experience at lunch when you can just serve yourself at the buffet and the price is actually decent.
