I was super excited to eat here when they opened - especially because I saw the kamayan they hosted on social media. Well, don't trust what restaurants post online for PR. We arrived at the restaurant and were seated outside. We ordered Kare-Kare, rice, the Ube waffle dessert and an Ube Milkshake. The Ube Milkshake was very icey and not very creamy. I didn't taste much Ube which was disappointing. Then it started raining. When it rained, the staff didn't do anything like try and bring out umbrellas or offer to move people inside. We just stood up, grabbed our milkshakes and went inside ourselves.
There were no seats inside the restaurant so we were just standing in the narrow hallway in front of the bar dodging servers walking past with food. None of the staff tried to accommodate or re-seat us. Then our food got here and that was awkward because we didn't have a table. When we finally did get a table, the Kare-Kare was cold. On top of that, here is the reason for my 2 star rating - THERE WAS ONLY 3 PIECES OF MEAT! Bro, you are not a fancy Michelin star restaurant. You sell SOUL FOOD. Soul food is typically a hugeass plate of fried chicken, potatoes and sides. This was legit 3 pieces of meat for $15. And its not even the best I've ever had. Can't justify this. I've definitely had better Kare-Kare in Toronto.
