| - I have dined in this location multiple times and their food never disappoints.
Food: 4.5 out of 5 stars... So far I have tried their lumpia, fishballs, chicken adobo, crispy pata, seafood kare-kare, caldereta, beaf steak, nilagang baka, pancit Malabon, pork barbecue, and chicken barbecue. I would say that their crispy pata, chicken adobo, and barbecue (both chicken and pork) are probably the best ones I've had. These are Filipino food that I rarely crave and usually just grab small pieces when served but after tasting theirs, I now crave for them. I loved their pancit malabon when I ordered it to dine in the restaurant but when I ordered a party tray for new year's eve, there wasn't enough sauce in my tray (still tasted good though). Their seafood kare-kare is also a bomb but I just wish they peeled the shrimp skin before cooking because it's pain to peel them coming out of kare-kare sauce.
Service: 4 out of 5 stars... Their service is way, way better compared to other Filipino places I have visited. Servers are very nice but service can be slow sometimes (hence minus one star). When I came to pick up my party tray orders for new year's eve, I appreciated how the staff has packed them to make sure nothing gets splattered during the drive and they even gave me nice box carriers so I can carry multiple food trays all at ones. I, however, had to wait for more than half an hour after my designated pick-up time before I was able to get all of my orders.
Place: 4 out of 5 stars... Again, it is way cleaner than a lot of Filipino places I have been to. However, I think the ventilation is not adequate enough because the kitchen smell really gets into the dining area. Their bathroom is also clean but feels like a sauna! They are also located in a relatively safer and way nicer neighborhood as compared to most Filipino places.
Prices: 4.5 out of 5 stars... slightly more expensive than a lot of Filipino places but I completely don't mind due to way better quality of food.
Overall, I will definitely keep coming back despite their location being slightly far from where I live.
